PHP - Submit Form On Same Page With Get Url

Hi Guys, I am fairly new to PHP, and I recently changed my whole site to use PHP sessions, which worked fine.
Then I added PHP parts in my pages that display different menu choices depending on if a PHP session exists. This also works fine, until I found that any HTML/PHP pages that have form/submits no longer work, and I get kicked back to the index.php

After slow backtracking, I removed new parts, and found the forms started working again if I removed the PHP part that chooses which JavaScript file to reference, as follows from contact.php

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'])){
    echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"menu_horz.js\"></script>";
}
else {echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"log_menu_horz.js\"></script>";
}
?>

I tried changing the echo ".." to use single quotes ' '  instead, but then it doesn't work at all then with a form or no form on the page. I assume I am doing something wrong, but I can't find any resources that give me a definitive way of referencing Javascript files.  What freaked me out was only the ones with forms were an issue.
I am using <?php session_start(); ?> at the beginning of every page (before any output). Other PHP code on the page is working fine. Only the above part seems to be the problem, and works too, as long as I don't submit a form.

- Could it be more weirder :-)

- I tried also to find a workaround, but it would mean having PHP inside my JavaScript file, but I am not sure it would work, since JS is client side, and PHP server...  Essentially, I just want to run certain JS menus depending if the person is logged in or not.

- Example contact.php attached

Any ideas of what the problem might be with the code above?
Will be grateful for any help you can give.

Hi everyone, as the title stated, I would like to know how I could submit a form in one page(cart) and unset a session variable on other page.   Right now my form is setting a variable within the page back to 0, however I would like the form to unset the session variable from other page as well.   The issue with my code is that every time I attempt to clear out all items, my code can empty out the cart. But whenever I close and reopen the cart, the same content will show up again. So I need to unset the session variable.   Please let me know what should I do in order to solve the problem and I greatly appreciate your help.   My code is currently looking like this: cart.php

if(!empty($_GET['aID']))
{	
$aID = $_GET['aID'];
echo $aID;
if(isset($_POST['removeAll']))
{
$aID = "0";
}
$cartSQL = "SELECT * from article where aID in ($aID)";
echo "cart sql :$cartSQL";
$cartQuery = mysqli_query($dbc, $cartSQL) or die (mysqli_error($dbc));
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($cartQuery, MYSQLI_BOTH))
{
	$aTitle[] = $row[ 'name' ];
}
}
<form action = "" method = "POST">
<td style = "width = 200px"><input type="submit" value="Empty cart" name="removeAll"></td>
</form>

And this is the session variable from other page where I would like it to be unset upon submitting the form.

if(!empty($cartSubmit))
	$_SESSION["cartSubmit"] = $cartSubmit;
else	
	$cart = $_SESSION["cartSubmit"];

<a href="javascript:popup('cart.php?aID=<?php if(empty($cartSubmit)) echo "$cart"; else echo "$cartSubmit";?>')">Cart</a>

I am creating a user inbox system. I am retrieving all the unread messages. Each message row contains a "reply" form. So say I have 10 messages showing on a single page. That's 10 forms.

What I would like to know is how can I submit any one of the 10 forms and not have it affect the remaining 9 forms?

Here is the basic code.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  $post_message = trim($_POST['message']);

  $errors      =  array();
  $db->beginTransaction();

  if(empty($post_message)) {
    $errors[] = 'The message field can not be empty!';
  }

  if(empty($errors)) {
    $db->commit();
    
    echo 'success';

  } else {
    $db->rollBack();
  }
}
<form action="" method="post">
  <fieldset>
    <textarea name="message" maxlength="10000" placeholder="What would you like to say?"></textarea>
  </fieldset>
  <fieldset>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
  </fieldset>
</form>

 

Say I have an "Entries" table. I want to submit same multiple entries using a form submission. And If I have other queries submitted in the same form, I want those quarries to be submitted only once.  Is that possible to do? 

Here's my code.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

  $entries = 10;

  $id   = 55;
  $name = 'Smith';

  $insert = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO entries(id, name) VALUES(:id, :name)");
  $insert->bindParam(':id', $id);
  $insert->bindParam(':name', $name);
  $result_insert = $insert->execute();
  if($result_insert == false) {
    echo 'Fail';
  } else {
    echo 'Success';
  }

}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT" />
</form>

Hi.  Pretty straight forward I guess but as the name suggests am a newbie.  I have a form that requires the user to enter certain parameters.  If the values are blank it submits to itself and loads the error messages.  What I want to do is create PHP code that submits the form to a different url.  What I thought was create two forms (the second with hidden fields replicating the first form), each form having a different url in the action"" code.  What I cant work out is the PHP IF ELSE code to submit form 2 if Form1 is is validated correctly.  This is the PHP code relevant to the form validation.  Help?

<?php
      //If form was submitted
      if ($_POST['submitted']==1) {
          $errormsg = ""; //Initialize errors
          if ($_POST[width]){
             $title = $_POST[width]; //If title was entered
          }
          else{
             $errormsg = "Please enter width";
          }
          if ($_POST[drop]){
             $textentry = $_POST[drop]; //If comment was entered
          }
          else{
             if ($errormsg){ //If there is already an error, add next error
                $errormsg = $errormsg . " & content";
             }else{
                $errormsg = "Please enter drop";
             }
          }
      }

      if ($errormsg){ //If any errors display them
          echo "<div class=\"box red\">$errormsg</div>";
      }

      //If all fields present
      if ($title && $textentry){
         //Do something
          
echo 'THIS IS WHERE I WANT THE CODE TO SUBMIT FORM 2 or SUBMIT FORM 1 TO A DIFFERENT URL';
      }   
      ?>

Hello.

I hope one of the PHP/HTML gurus here can help me. I have a web page that has been altered a bit to add some Google Analytics stuff and I've moved it to a 2nd directory. The original one works fine, the 2nd one won't post the form when I click the submit button.

1st URL https://www.theneutralizer.info/neutralizer
2nd URL: https://www.theneutralizer.info/neutralizer2

I have changed the action property to the correct script, and it does exist. But the problem is when clicking the button nothing happens.

Anyone have any ideas? I can send the PHP code if needed, but since it's HTML output, it should work the way it is displayed in the browser.

Hello, first time poster..  I've looked the web over for a long time and can't figure this one out.

- Below is basic code that successfully checks MySQL for a match and displays result.  I was debugging and forced the "height" and "width" to be 24 and 36 to make sure that wasn't the problem.  That's good.. 
- I'd like to give the user ability to select width and height from a form.. and have it do an onchange this.form.submit so the form can be changing as fields are altered (thus the onchange interaction)
- In a normal coding environment I've done this numerous times with no "Page cannot be displayed" problems.  It would simply change one select-option value at a time til they get down the form and click submit...  but in WordPress I'm having trouble making even ONE single onchange work!
- I've implemented the plugins they offer which allows you to "copy+paste" your php code directly into their wysiwyg editor.  That works with basic tests like my first bullet point above.
- I've copied and pasted the wordpress url (including the little ?page_id=123) into the form "action" url... that didn't work...  tried forcing it into an <option value=""> tag.. didn't work.  I'm just not sure. 

I've obviously put xx's in place of private info..

Why does this form give me Page Cannot Be Displayed in WordPress every time?  It won't do anything no matter how simple.. using onchange..

Code..

$con = mysql_connect("xxxx.xxxxxxx.com","xxxxxx","xxxxx");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
mysql_select_db("xxxxxx", $con);
$myprodwidth=24;
$myprodheight=36;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM product_sizes WHERE prodwidth='$myprodwidth' and prodheight='$myprodheight'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row['prodprice'];
  }
mysql_close($con);


<form method="post" action="">
<select name="myheight" onchange="this.form.submit();">
<option selected="selected" value="">select height</option>
<option value="xxxxxxxxx.com/wordpress/?page_id=199&height=36">36</option>
<option value="xxxxxxxxx.com/wordpress/?page_id=199&height=36">48</option>
</select>

Hi all,

What I am trying to achieve is, I thought quite simple!

Basically, a user signs up and chooses a package, form is submitted, details added to the database, email sent to customer, then I want to direct them to a paypal payment screen, this is where I am having issues!

Is their any way in php to submit a form without user interaction? Here is my code for the form process page
Code: [Select]
<?php
include('config.php');
require('scripts/class.phpmailer.php');

$package = $_POST['select1'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = md5($_POST['password']);

$domain = $_POST['domain'];
$a_username = $_POST['a_username'];
$a_password = $_POST['a_password'];


$query=mysql_query("INSERT INTO orders (package, name, email, password, domain, a_username, a_password)
VALUES
('$package', '$name', '$email', '$password', '$domain', '$a_username', '$a_password')");

if (!$query)
{
echo "fail<br>";
echo mysql_error();
}

else
{
$id = mysql_insert_id();
$query1=mysql_query("INSERT INTO customers (id, name, email, password)
values
('$id', '$name', '$email', '$password')");

if (!$query1)
{
echo "fail<br>";
echo mysql_error();
}


if($package=="Reseller Hosting")
{

//email stuff here - all works - just cutting it to keep the code short


if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo "Message could not be sent. <p>";
   echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
   exit;
}
?>

Hi-

How

I am wondering how to add a redirect to a form with multiple buttons. All should redirect to same page

Hello i have a form on my page which submits on the same page but sometimes when i press submit and the page reloads the header padding comes out on the page so its actually split from the top of the screen and when its loaded it goes back, i have both margin and padding set to 0 for the body and header so dont know why this is happening, can someone help me out with this?

Hi there.
When i press the submit button it shows me the blank page. Do u have any idea why? (i tried also to show me errors but it doesnt show even errors, although the display erorr works well)
I want to send the user inputs and chosens to the database: (table form contains all the fields required (type, price, picture, gear,condition...etc))

Hello,

Im new to website building. I have created a login system.

The login system echoes some text when the username and password is correct. However, if correct i would like it to open another page on my site.

Code: [Select]
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <p>Username
    <label>
    <input type="text" name="username" id="username">
    </label>
  Password
    <label>
      <input type="password" name="password" id="password">
    </label>
    <input name="login" type="submit" id="login" value="Login">
    <?php
$username = $_POST ["username"];
$password = $_POST ["password"];

if ($username == "admin" && $password == "password"){
echo"Logged In";}
?>
  </p>
</form>
I am a novice and learnt this via youtube. However, can't find a tutorial for what i want.

Thanks

Hi, I have setup a basic enquiry form with a Captcha - once the code has been inserted and is correct I want to action the form (submit) in PHP.

<?php

session_start();
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
$vResult = '';
if(strtolower($_SESSION['security_code']) != strtolower($_POST['security_code'])){
$vResult = 'Invalid code!';
}
else{
"/enquiry.php"
}
}
?>

I want to submit the form to /enquiry.php - I tried header(Location.. and realised that just redirects, and doesn't submit the form.

Any suggestions or tips would be great.

Cheers,

Paul
