PHP - Posting Form To The Same Page
Hi There,
I have a series of submit buttons that I would like to update records in a table when they are pressed. For example, when clicked, I would like them to run the following statement: update mytable set completed = 1 where colname = $variable I would then like it to refresh the page. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks Matt Similar TutorialsI ve been having trouble processing form data to the same page as the do on facebook comments. Can php scripts do that. Help me guys!! Hi, i have written a form that uses 3 dropdown boxes, one of them being populated from a database. The form code is as follows; Code: [Select] <form id="pointsForm" name="pointsForm" method="post" action="points-engine.php"> <select name="car" id="car"> <?php // result of car name collection $result = mysql_query ($query); //Array stored in $cars while($cars=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ //option values added by looping through array echo "<option value=$cars[id]>$cars[carName]</option>"; } ?> </select> <select name="season" id="season"> <option value="low">Low season</option> <option value="mid">Mid season</option> <option value="high">High season</option> <option value="peak">Peak season</option> </select> <select name="period" id="period"> <option value="day">One day</option> <option value="weekend">Weekend</option> <option value="week">One week</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </form> which posts to; Code: [Select] <?php $car=$_POST['car']; echo $car; $season=$_POST['season']; echo $season; $period=$_POST['period']; echo $period; ?> The initial form code is working fine, the car field is being populated from the database. My problem is the post value for car isn't working... points-engine.php is echoing $season & $period fine but not $car can anyone tell me why? many thanks Richard I have this code with clears the input box onclick... Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="username" value="Username" onclick="value=''"/> however is there any way to use php to get the value of username, before its posted? that way i can make it so it only clears if the value of username is "username" I am working on a PHP/MySQL authorization script. The script seems to work initially, but when I try to Login and post the Form ( echo '<form method="post" action=authorize_1.php">'; echo '<table>'; echo '<tr><td>Userid:</td>'; echo '<td><input type="text" name="userid"></td></tr>'; echo '<tr><td>Password:</td>'; echo '<td><input type="password" name="password"></td></tr>'; echo '<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">'; echo '<input type="submit" value="Log in"></td></tr>'; echo '</table></form>'; ) Internet Explorer returns the error that the page is not found.... but I am using one .php file for the authorization so I am sure the page is found because i can see the Login portion. Any ideas as to what is going wrong? i am making a website where i can submit films but i am confuse to understand the structure of that where people can also submit their views and i can diferent link of diffrent companiess for example i have some example http://tv.desitvforum.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=77865&Itemid=86 http://www.funbolo.com/more.asp?itemCode=1916 this type of page that i can easily insert links and their title and images on that page there is also one problem every time become different links of different sites in different counting so that's why m more confuse ho to set data base structure for that and how add these all details from panel and people can also post comment on that well thats simple but my bug problem is structure for this aNy Body in structure Hi everyone! So, I have recently become interested in the world of webpage design and HTML coding. Thus far, I have created a few simple HTML webpages, the first of which includes some basic facts and information on the state of NC. Everything has gone rather smoothly for me until this point, but I would now like to incorporate a bit of PHP into my knowledge of web development. First, I would like to include a form on my NC page that once submitted, goes to a new PHP page displaying the inputted data to the screen. On the new page, I am attempting to include files: a header and footer. On my other couple of pages for which I would like to add server side includes. And lastly, if possible, it would be great if I could learn how to add some additional features like sending e-mails or displaying the date. Any advice or tips on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated! Hi Guys, I need a bit of help. I need to post a value to a second page, but I want the button to have the same name. The page is to show registered users and then allows a user to send a friend request 'to put it in simple terms'. Username submitbutton username submitbutton And then i do the following <?php foreach ($_POST['username') as $user { echo $user; } ?> How could i go about doing this or would I have to use a 'Hidden' Field.

Hello, I am new to some of the rules to PHP as far as what you can POST or SEND via forms in PHP. I am attempting to change the location of a page via the header() function and basically redirect to another page if the weather is inclimate at an outdoor events center. Currently what I have is two different submit buttons that would post the header() redirect based on if the weather is good or bad. Ex. <div style="width:220px; height:50px;"> <form method="POST" action="../../weather.php"> <input type="submit" value="Good Weather" name="weather_good" /> <input type="submit" value="Bad Weather" name="weather_bad" /> </form> </div> Then the processing for the form is this file - <?php if(isset($_POST['weather_good'])){ $myFile = "../myfile.php"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $stringData = echo "<?php header ('Location:fall_festival/index.php'); ?>"; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); echo "Page Updated"; } else if(isset($_POST['weather_bad'])){ $myFile = "../myfile.php"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file"); $link = "header('Location:fall_festival/weather/index.php');" ; $stringData = $link; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); echo "Page Updated"; } ?> The file doesn't return an error when it's processed but it also doesn't update the file header and redirect to the proper page. Thanks for your time and help! I have a php index page that includes a form page with a delete button for that row. When I hit the delete button nothing happens. I am not sure if the variable is not passing or if the index.php page is not processing it correctly.

Any ideas why this one is a problem? I have one field which is set up as a Text field in my database. What I'm wanting is if the field is blank in the form to just leave the field alone in the database. I need it to be NULL. OR...is there a way to query a database to recognize a field is blank?

However, when I add the onClick code, the form no longer posts using PHP. The button does indeed change but the postback never occurs. Is there something extra I need to add or do? Thank you!!
