PHP - Trouble Running Php Scripts As Actions On Html Forms
Hi Guys,
I'm having some trouble running PHP scripts. I have two forms, each of which redirects to a PHP script (each PHP script is different, but essentially both have the same problem) as an action. The code is below. I'm hosted at Bluehost, which runs PHP on their servers so I know the tech is compatible. Thanks! Cheers! <html> <script type="text/php">include('newform.php');</script> <head> <title>TradeSquared></title> <p align="center">Trade Squared</p> </head> <body> <br> <br> <div align="center"> Create a new Listing: <form action="newform.php" method="get" name="newform"> Type:<select name="type"> <option value="book">Book</option> <option value="apt">Apartment</option> <option value="item">Class Items</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> <br> Search current Listings: <form action="searchform.php" method="get" name="searchform"> Type:<select name="type"> <option value="book">Book</option> <option value="apt">Apartment</option> <option value="item">Class Items</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> </div> </body> </html> This is the PHP code on which action redirects to <?php $type = $_GET=["type"]; if($type=="book") header("location:addbooklisting.html"); else if($type == "apt") header("location:aptform"); else header("location:itemform"); ?> Second page <html> <head> <title>Create New Book Listing</title> <p align="center"> <b>Create a New Book Listing</b> </p> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <br><br> <form name="addlisting" method="get" action="bookvalidation.php"> <table width="100" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center">Title </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="title"/> </td> </tr> <tr><td><p/></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Price </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">$<input type="text" name="dollars" size="3"/>.<input type="text" name="cents" size="2"/> </td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">ISBN</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="isbn"/></td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Condition </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><select name="cond"> <option name="used">Used</option> <option name="new">New</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Commentaries </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><textarea rows="5" cols="30" name="comm"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="submit" value="Add Listing"/></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> </body> </html> PHP code for second page <html> <head>Results</head> <body> The Following Occurred: <?php $title = $_GET["title"]; $dollar = $_GET["dollars"]; $cents = $_GET["cents"]; $price = $dollar.".".$cents $isbn = $_GET["isbn"]; $cond = $_GET["cond"]; $decide; $comments = $_GET["comm"]; for($i=0; $i<=12; i++) { if(ctype_digit($isbn)) $decide = true; else $decide = false; } if( !(($dollar && $cents)==int) ) echo "Price must be in numbers."; else if($decide == false || strlen($isbn)!=13) echo "ISBN contains 13 characters and must be numbers only" else { $db=mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass!"); mysql_select_db("db_dataabse",$db); $dbsucces=mysql_query("INSERT INTO BookListings (Title, ISBN, Price, Condition, Comments) VALUES ('$title', '$isbn', '$price', '$cond', '$comments')"); if($dbsuccess==true) echo "Posting was succesful"; else echo"Unsuccesful log."; } ?> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsI am coding a browser game in php/mysql. the economy code needs to run at a regular interval. How can I get my code to run say, every 6/12/24 minutes? I heard of something called a cron job, but im not sure if it is going to be what I need. This may be a stupid question so forgive me if it sounds like a dumb question. I have my own server set up and I was wondering if it was at all possible to have a script running that is hosted on my server, while my PC is off or possibly just without having to load it within my web browser. I have a few scripts I wish to run forever without lagging my old PC. Is there a way to do this? Thanks. P.S All the scripts will be using the file_get_contents function to open HTTP streams, and a few explode functions here and there. My website is being overrun with spam and I am trying to install a php captcha script. I have installed php 5 on my website askthephysicist.com which is hosted on a 1&1 Windows server, but I think the problem is that I do not know where to point my script to find the lib. I have very little fluency with any scripting languages. Anyhow, the beginning of the script reads: <?php require 'CaptchasDotNet.php'; // Required Parameters // Replace the values you receive upon registration at http://captchas.net. // // client: 'demo' // // secret: 'secret' // and when I run it I get the message: Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'CaptchasDotNet.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php5.5') in /homepages/29/d191906528/htdocs/askthephysicist/query.php on line 4 The whole code may be found at http://captchas.net/sample/php/ if that is helpful, but the error occurs with the first statement require 'CaptchasDotNet.php'; hi
I am having problems trying to either include php file or execute a php script within <div with a class> which I use for a drop down menu, every bit of help much appreciated, thanks..singhy
<h2 class="hidenextdiv"><a href="#">dropdown menu1</a></h2> <div class="another dropmenuclass"> <h3>Test</h3> want to add my php working code here, have tried includes but no joy, it either breaks the dropdown menu or I am not getting the results back from the database, my script works ok, have tested it separately. <h3> </h3> <div style="clear: both;"> </div> </div> I have a page which reads content from a database and display its result.
<?php
include ("databaseconnections/conx_stampsforsale.php");
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT country, description, price FROM stampsforsale");
if (!$sql)
die ("Error Displaying Data. " . mysql_error());
else
{
echo ("<table><tr>");
$count = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$target_path = "stampsforsale/" . basename($row['country'] . ".jpg");
echo ("<td><a href='" . $target_path . "' target='_blank'><img src='" . $target_path . "'width=150 height=100></a><br />" . $row['country'] . "<br />" . $row['description'] . "</br>" . $row['price'] . "<br /><br /></td>");
$count++;
if ($count % 3 == 0)
{
echo ("<tr>");
}
}
echo ("</tr></table>");
}
// end of displaying data
?>
The above code works fine and it loads inside a the main section on my web page as follows: index.php?mC=stampsforexchange.php.
In order not to get a huge number of results I am planning to put the above code inside a function and then set the stampforexchange.php page with flags for each country so that when a particular country is clicked only stamps from that country are shown. The following is the above code revised into a function.
<?php
include ("databaseconnections/conx_stampsforsale.php");
function getCountryStamps($country)
{
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT country, description, price FROM stampsforsale WHERE country = $country");
if (!$sql)
die ("Error Displaying Data. " . mysql_error());
else
{
echo ("<table><tr>");
$count = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
{
$target_path = "stampsforsale/" . basename($row['country'] . ".jpg");
echo ("<td><a href='" . $target_path . "' target='_blank'><img src='" . $target_path . "'width=150 height=100></a><br />" . $row['country'] . "<br />" . $row['description'] . "</br>" . $row['price'] . "<br /><br /></td>");
$count++;
if ($count % 3 == 0)
{
echo ("<tr>");
}
}
echo ("</tr></table>");
}
// end of displaying data
}
?>
And this is the html part where I am trying to call the function:
<td><a href="index.php?mC=getCountryStamps(Malta)"><img src="flags/malta.gif" width=100px height="67px" /><br />Malta</td></a>
However I am getting the following warning message:
Warning: include(getCountryStamps(Malta)): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\stamps\index.php on line 21Warning: include(): Failed opening 'getCountryStamps(Malta)' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\stamps\index.php on line 21 Can someone please point in the right direction as I am stuck with this one? Thank you in advance. Hi, I am very new to PHP and am having trouble understanding how HTML, PHP and JavaScript work together. What I have to do is, I have a 'Choose File' option, where I select the file. Then I transfer this file to server and read the contents in an array. This is done in one form. In the other form I send the contents read from the to a different *.php for some database querying. Following is what I have. I don't know how to transfer data between different files. Code: [Select] <form name ="INPUT" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="readInput.php"> <p id="upload_text"><br/> <textarea name="queryList" id="queryList" cols="35" rows="10" wrap="physical" value='' onclick ="document.INPUT.queryList.value='';"> Enter input here... </textarea><br/> </p> <p> <!-- <input name=INPUTS type=hidden value=$entries[]/>--> </p> <p id="upload_button"><br/> File: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" size="30" onchange='fillTextArea(<?php echo $entries; ?>)'/><br/> </p> <iframe id="upload_target" name="upload_target" src="#" style="width:0;height:0;border:0px solid #fff;"></iframe> <a href="javascript: submitReadForm()"></a> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> function submitReadForm() { document.INPUT.submit(); } </script> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> //var inData = new Array(); function fillTextArea(inData){ if (inData == "") { document.getElementById('queryList').textContent = "No Input" alert("No Input Data Returned"); } else { document.getElementById('queryList').textContent = inData; } } </script> <form name ="GETPDB" action ="viewPDBs.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" > <p id="submit_upload"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /><br/> </p> <p> <!-- #<#?php echo $entries; ?> #<#php foreach ($entries as $k => $e) : ?> <input type="hidden" name="entries[<#?php echo $k ?>]" value="<#?php echo addslashes($e) ?>"> #<#?php endforeach; ?> --> <input name=IDS type=hidden value="<?php echo $input; ?>"/> </p> <a href="javascript: submitPDBForm()"></a> </form> Please help me with this. Thanks. Hi, I have found myself in a bit of a cul-de-sac. Hope you can help as it is driving me crazy. The scenario: I have an html form (_post) which I would like to write the contents of to a one XML file using php. The problem is: The html page has three/four forms in it. Form a = (submit a writes/updates only to section a) Form b = (submit b writes/updates only to section b) Form c = (submit c writes/updates only to section c) Form d= (submit a, b, c writes/updates all sections) The XML page has three sections a, b & c To conclude, I want to be able to update the XML file in sections or update them all as a whole. How can I go about achieving this? Thanks Is it worthwhile to create an object to generate my HTML forms? Starting out it would appear to be worthwhile but I'm not sure how things might change later down the line when I'm doing more with my forms and introducing javascript to it. It's a bunch of coding to change all my forms now so I wanted to hear some input before I started. Would this be just a complete waste of server side processing? TIA! Hi I am having a major problem with trying to get the HTML value attribute to display the a value stored in a array from SQL Query. So i have done an SQL query then outputted it all to the screen, but i cant set the value attribute on my HTML form to the variable $Name. Can anyone please tell me where i am going wrong? Thanks Nick while($nt=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "$nt[photo_url] $nt[Name] $nt[Education] $nt[Skills] $nt[Aboutme] <br>"; // name class and mark will be printed with one line break at the end } $Photo_url = $_POST["photo_url"]; $Name = $_POST["Name"]; $Education = $_POST["Education"]; $Skills= $_POST["Skills"]; $Aboutme = $_POST["Aboutme"]; ?> <form method="post" action="updateaboutme.php"> Photo Url:<input type="text" size="12" maxlength="12" name="Photo_url" value="<?php echo $nt['Name'] ?>" <br /> <input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit"> </form> Hi There, Is there any way that when a user submits a form, but places a link inside - for example: It is located at this location: http://mylink.com Is there any way that PHP can pick up the fact that there is a link there and tag it correctly so it is clickable? Cheers Matt Hello friends, if i've textarea form or even input how to prevent visitors to write html codes inside it ? thanks I'm having trouble including my navigation bar in my web pages using PHP.

navBar();
?>
This is the script in navbar.php enclosing my navigation bar.

Help is appreciated.
I make a php application , it has a lot of forms. I want to avoid someones post like ?> or </html> . How can i make it. I've been poking around online for about a day now trying to find a good way to do the following: I have an "order" I'm reading in from a MySQL database (not completely relevant, but just fyi). And, for this order there are a number of "parts" (automotive parts) that have been ordered. For each part there is data pertaining to the quantity of parts that have been ordered and the number of parts that have been allocated (based on our inventory) and then a third column that has the number of parts still in that order that are still to be allocated at a future date. Basically, I'm displaying this data in a form with each row having a checkbox to the far left. What I want to do is allow the user to check any number of check boxes. If a check box is checked the form should submit all of the input text boxes for that row (the user can update the quantities) that I talked about in the second paragraph for that "part" (each part is displayed in a row and has a checkbox). Unfortunately, most of the examples I found for checkboxes in a form submit a specific value (like a number of a letter). I need the form to submit the values that are in the textboxes. So basically, I'm thinking I need the page to update a PHP object whenever the value of a textbox is changed and then when the user clicks a button it will send the php object for each checked row through GET or POST. But, how would I get it to onchange update a PHP object (the PHP object would need to be a 2-D array where the first index allows you to select the part and the second index allows you to select which quantity you will change). I'm thinking I would need to call a script from the onchange like: onchange="somePHPfunction(partNumberIndex, whichQuantityI'mChanging, currentValueOfThatQuantity)" but of course that would require me to embed some php inside the onchange call since the partNumberIndex and whichQuantity are PHP variables.. Any ideas on how to do this sort of thing? Or any ideas on how to do this differently? I'm trying to avoid javascript because it would place a javascript constraint on the users. But, maybe there's no other way to do this sort of thing? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's a question for all you great php programmers. What I want to do is use a variable username as the name of a select input of a form. I.E echo"<select name='$user'>"; Of course this code doesn't work though I feel sure that there must be a way to do this. Anyone know it? This topic has been moved to Other. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=347753.0 This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=316454.0 My employer asked if I could change an existing contact form on their website to allow clients to enter their Social Security Number along with the normal contact information if the client decide to do so, instead of going through the motion of physically send in the form via snail mail, fax, or in person (like it is currently handled). But since this piece of information is of such delicate nature, I wonder how I should approach this from both a legal standpoint and from a programming standpoint. The form currently sends the information entered by the user to an inbox with mail(), so my initial thought was to somehow encrypt the information, limiting the risk of someone getting a hold of this information once the use user clicks "Send". But is full blown SSL really necessary for this? Are there easier options? And what should I think about before enabling this? Hi, I have made a basic html site and it has two forms on it. I have the forms linking to a file called process.php. Basically i need to know what code to put in the php file in order for the forms to save whatever is entered in them to a txt file on my server or computer. Or any other easier way to do the same thing, save the content of two forms on my site. Hope i posted this in the right forum subject. Thanks very much for anyone that helps. (php is a weakness)
Here is the HTML portion for the form:
<form action="send_form_email.php" id="contacts-form" method="post"> |
