PHP - Two Reloads, With Output After Input?

Hi, I have been trying to get the below code to work but without luck for the past couple of days.

Can anyone help point out where i am going wrong.

I have a webpage that has several buttons which will eventually let users search for data stored in different tables of a postgresql database ( i have simplified the code here to just two buttons).

When the user clicks the Search for hostname button a form is displayed letting them type in their search criteria.

Upon clicking the submit button i am able to access the users search strings with no problem but i cannot get the original search form to display above the search results additonaly including the users original search strings.

Any help on this would be much appreciated as i am pulling my hair out, as you can probably guess i am very new to PHP/HTML

My code is


<? 
session_start(); 
?>

<form method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
<center>
<button type="submit" id="green_button" name="searchhostname">Search for Hostname</button>
<button type="submit" id="green_button" name="searchipaddress">Search for IP address</button>
</center>
</form>
</body>




<?
// If user clicks the search hostname button display the additonal search form
if ($_POST['searchhostname'])
{
echo "Search for Hostnames and IP Addresses:<br><br>";
echo "<form method='POST' action='".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."'>";
echo "Hostname: <input type='text' name='hostname' size='16' value='".$_POST['hostname']."'/>";
echo "<br>";   
echo "Operating System: <input type='text' name='ostype' size='16' value='".$_POST['ostype']."'/>";
echo "<br>";
echo "<input type='submit' id='green_button' value='Search' name='runsearch'><br><br>";
echo"</form>";


}

// If user has entered criteria to search on run the search but alos display the original search form above
// and any data the user has entered before displaying results

if ($_POST['runsearch'])
{
//In reality this is where the users search data will be compared to a postresql database....

echo "You want to search for hostname: ".$_POST['hostname']."<br>";
echo "You want to search for operating system: ".$_POST['ostype']."<br>";
}


?>

Hello everyone.

I need help with the following PHP APP. I am running on (Version PHP 7.2.10) I am trying to have a page table form on table.php pass the input variable of “5-Numbers” to another page called table_results.php

I want that variable string of “5-Numbers” to be compared against 4 arrays and output any duplicates found within each of those 4 lists. If nothing is found, I still want some visual output that reads “None found”.

 

Lets pretend I have the following example ..

On table.php, I typed inside my table form the 5-Numbers ..

INPUT:  2,15,37,13,28

On table_results.php, the 4 arrays to be compared against my input numbers “ 2,15,37,13,28” are ..

 

$array_A = array(2,6,8,11,14,18,24); 

$array_B = array(1,2,9,10,13,14,25,28,);  

$array_C = array(1,3,7,9,13,15,20,21,24); 

$array_D = array(4,5,12,22,23,27,28,29); 

 

So my output should read as follows below ..

OUTPUT: 

 

TABLE

COLUMN 1   COLUMN 2

ROW 1 Matches Found Results ..

ROW 2 GROUP A:            2 

ROW 3 GROUP B:             2,13,28

ROW 4 GROUP ?            13,15

ROW 5 GROUP ?            28

ROW 6 5#s Input:              2,15,37,13,28

 

Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions on how to go about it. 

Thanks.

Wanted to include image example

Well I have a script that executes a scan on a system set to run infinitely, and I need it to echo out a message each time it loops through, but I don't want it to echo out the message with the next loop message below it, and the next one below that etc... I've tried using the flush(); function and been messing around with that with no luck. For security reasons I don't want to release any of the processing code, but here is the basic construction of the script:

<?PHP
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
$RepeatIt = -1;
for($g=1; $g!=$RepeatIt+1; $g++)
{
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***

$ScanMessage = ":.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: ".$MobName." (SCAN #$g) :.:.:"."<br/><br/>";
echo $ScanMessage;

***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
***PROCESSING AND SCAN CODE***
}
?>

At the moment it's returning:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #1) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #2) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #3) :.:.:

:.:.: SCANNING THE HITLIST FOR MOBSTER: DEUS EX DESTROYER (SCAN #4) :.:.:

So what I want it to do is just delete the scanning message and replace it with the next scan message so while running this script you would see just the number increment on the same line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I am writing a script that will parse my PHP classes and check for things like coupling, visualize my objects and connections, dependencies, check for convention usage, etc.   So, I have a simple file upload.  I'm never saving the files, just get contents and dump the file and work with the string version.   I'm writing it for me, but I figure I might want to open it for others to use in the future, so I may as well write it that way to begin with -- so I need to validate user input.  Problem is, the user input is supposed to be valid PHP code.  I'm thinking that, as long as I'm careful, I shouldn't be executing any code contained in strings, but I'm no security expert and I want a warm fuzzy that my thought on this is correct.  What kinds of things do I need to look out for?  Is it possible to inject when working with strings?   My initial thought is to regex the entire file and replace key portions with known replacements.  So ( and ) would become !* and !^ or $ would become @~ (combinations that -- I think -- don't make sense to php?)  But that may be completely unnecessary processing time if I'm not in any danger, here.  Thanks ahead of time for any help.   PS - as a side question -- what's the best way to verify a file is a php file?  I know of getimagesize for images, but should I just check for <? to verify it's php?  That seems like it would be too easy to fool -- then again, it might not matter much.   -Adam

I hope I can explain what is happening.  I have created two forms in PHP.  The first 'almost' works, i.e. it shows the data.  But I have two problems - 1) the second pulldown menu is always empty and 2) $value from the first pulldown menu ALWAYS equals the last entry thus the last 'if' in the function subdomains ($domains) is always called (but still empty).  The code may explain this better than me:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
   <!-- processDomains.php is this file - it calls itself (for testing purposes so I can see what is happening) -->
   <form action="processDomains.php" method="post">
   <?php
       // create the domains array (there are actually several entries in the array but I cut it down for testing)
       $domains = array (1 => 'Decommission', 'Migration');
    
       echo "Select Domain:";
       echo "<br>";
    
       // Make the domain pull-down menu - this displays correctly
       echo '<select name="domain">';
       foreach ($domains as $key => $value) {
          echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";
       }
       echo '</select>';

       // input doesn't matter what is 'submitted', always goes to last $value
       echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">';

       // call function subdomains
       subdomains ($value);
    
       function subdomains ($domains) {
           // define values for each array - each array contains available choices for the subdomain pulldown menu
           $migration = array (1 => 'Application Migration', 'Application Patch', 'Application Upgrade');
           $decommission = array (1 => 'Applications', 'Servers', 'Storage');
    
           if ($domains === 'Migration') {
              echo "Select subdomain:";
              echo "<br>";
              // Make the Migration pull-down menu
              echo '<select name="migration">';
              foreach ($migration as $key => $value) {
                  echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";
              }
              echo '</select>';
           } else if ($domains === 'Decommission') {

              /* ===
               * since 'Decommission' is the last entry in the 'Domains' pulldown list, $value ALWAYS equals
               * 'Decommission' and $domains equals $value. So this menu SHOULD work but is always
               * empty.  Thus, two problems - the pulldown menu is always empty and $value isn't based
               * upon user input.
              */
              echo "Select subdomain:";  // this prints so I know I'm in 'Decommission (I eliminated the echo "$domain" to show I'm always coming here)'
              echo "<br>";
              // Make the 'Decommission' pull-down menu
              echo '<select name="decommission">';
              foreach ($decommission as $key => $value) {
                  echo "<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n";
              }
              echo '</select>';
              echo '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">'
           ) // end of 'if-else'
    } // end of function 'subdomain'
     
?>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Let me say thank you in advance and I appreciate the help!  I know I'm doing something (or more than one thing) wrong and I hope someone can tell me what it is.    Best Regards!

I have a calendar select date function for my form that returns the date in the calendar format for USA: 02/16/2012.  I need to have this appear as is for the form and in the db for the 'record_date' column, but I need to format this date in mysql DATE format (2012-02-16) and submit it at the same time with another column name 'new_date' in the database in a hidden input field.  Is there a way to do this possibly with a temporary table or something?

Any ideas would be welcome.

I have a function which is listing my directories w/ files (Images) in them.

  }
}
  }
  closedir($dh);
  ksort($folder);
  return $folder;

Hey folks,

I have made a cart for buying drinks. I also made an sql database. But when I click on the email button, I receive an email but only with the id of the products.

   I tried to create csv output ( every value in double quotes) in my php using below function

if($generate_csv){
    generateCSV($custom[0]['details'], date('Y_m_d_')."check".".CSV", $detail_headers);
}

function generateCSV($data, $filename) {
  $file = fopen("/local/myloc/populated/".$filename,"w+");
  $i = 0;
  foreach ($data as $line) {
    $fields = array();
    foreach ($line as $k => $v)
    {
        $fields[$k] = $v;
    }
    if( $i === 0 )
    {
     fputcsv($file, array_keys($fields) ); // First write the headers
    }
    fputcsv($file, array_values($fields));
    $i++;
  }
  fclose($file);
}

I got below output with one issue (There is a blank at the end of each value)

$views_handle_field_node->$view->$result[]->nid. what's the correct output of it.

Hi,

This script lists all the contents of the dir it is placed in bar itself. Perfect for what I need. However, I want to output the results as xml and being new to php I really don't know where to start.

<?php
foreach (new DirectoryIterator('.') as $file) {
     if ( (!$file->isDot()) && ($file->getFilename() != basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) ) {
            echo ($file->isDir()) ? "(Dir) ".$file->getFilename() : $file->getFilename();
         }
}
?>

I'd be thankful for the help

Thanks in advance.
