PHP - Submit Form Or Write To File Onload

 

I am pretty new to php and trying to teach myself.  I can't get the values from this form to write to my flat file called orders.txt:

browse_index.php

<?php 
include("includes/menu_members.php")
?>
<div id="content">

<h1>SHOPPING CART</h1>
<a href="browse_index.php">CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE SHOPPING</a>
  

<?php 

echo '
  <table border="0">
  <tr>
  <td><form id="f2" method="post"name="f2"><input type="submit" action="order_summary.php" name="submit2" value="submit order"></td>
  ';

  if(isset($_POST['submit']))
  {

  $itemname = $_POST['h1'];

  //echo $_SESSION['itemname'][$itemname];
  unset($_SESSION['itemqty'][$itemname]);
  unset($_SESSION['itemprice'][$itemname]);
  unset($_SESSION['itemname'][$itemname]);
  }

  echo "<br/><br/>";
  echo "<table border='8' bgcolor='#efefef'>";
  echo "<tr><th>Name</th><th>Quantity</th><th>Price</th><th>Subtotal</th></tr>";
  foreach($_SESSION['itemname'] as $key=>$value)
{

echo
'<tr><td><b>'.$_SESSION['itemname'][$key].'</b></td>
<td>'.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key].'</td>
<td>$'.$_SESSION['itemprice'][$key].'</td>
<td name="subtotal">$'.($_SESSION['itemqty'][$key] * $_SESSION['itemprice'][$key]).'</td>
<td><form id="f1" method="post" name="f1"><input type="submit" name="submit" value =
"delete"><input type="hidden" name="h1" value='.$key.'></td></tr>'
;

}
  
?>


order_summary.php:

<?php
session_start ();

$date = date ("H:i jS F");

$outputstring = $date."/t"

.$_POST['h1']. ":"

.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key]. ":"

.$_SESSION['subtotal'][$key]. ":"

."\n";

$fp = fopen("orders.txt","a");

fwrite($fp, $outputstring);

fclose($fp);
?>

Can someone direct me where I am going wrong???

Hey Everyone,

I'll start by saying that I am a very novice php programmer. But I am working on a file storage website, and I have it working and running properly, what you see here is on a new page called index2.php (Thought you might need to know) and full working version can be found here, http://www.jstpreview.net84.net now want I want the site to do is automatically generate a new .php or .html page once the user presses the "submit" button, I've looked through many tutorials to figure this out but anything I have tried so far didn't work. So anyways, the page generated should be named the name of the file uploaded plus the extension. I also want this page to be generated using a pre-uploaded template but if you look at the code, you will see that I havn't implemented that part yet.

Code: [Select]
<?php 
//Load the settings
require_once("settings.php");


$message = "";
//Has the user uploaded something?
if(isset($_FILES['file']))
{

$target_path = Settings::$uploadFolder;
$target_path = $target_path . time() . '_' . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']); 

//Check the password to verify legal upload
if($_POST['password'] != Settings::$password)
{
$message = "Invalid Password!";
}
else
{
//Try to move the uploaded file into the designated folder
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    $message = "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['file']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    $message = "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
}

//Clear the array
unset($_FILES['file']);
}



if(strlen($message) > 0)
{
$message = '<p class="error">' . $message . '</p>';
}

/** LIST UPLOADED FILES **/
$uploaded_files = "";

//Open directory for reading
$dh = opendir(Settings::$uploadFolder);

//LOOP through the files
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) 
{
if($file != '.' && $file != '..')
{
$filename = Settings::$uploadFolder . $file;
$parts = explode("_", $file);
$size = formatBytes(filesize($filename));
$added = date("m/d/Y", $parts[0]);
$origName = $parts[1];
$filetype = getFileType(substr($file, strlen($file) - 3));
        $uploaded_files .= "<li class=\"$filetype\"><a href=\"$filename\">$origName</a> $size - $added</li>\n";
}
}
closedir($dh);

if(strlen($uploaded_files) == 0)
{
$uploaded_files = "<li><em>No files have been uploaded yet!</em></li>";
}

function getFileType($extension)
{
$images = array('jpg', 'gif', 'png', 'bmp');
$docs  = array('txt', 'rtf', 'doc');
$apps  = array('zip', 'rar', 'exe');

if(in_array($extension, $images)) return "Images";
if(in_array($extension, $docs)) return "Documents";
if(in_array($extension, $apps)) return "Applications";
return "";
}

function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 2) { 
    $units = array('B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB'); 
   
    $bytes = max($bytes, 0); 
    $pow = floor(($bytes ? log($bytes) : 0) / log(1024)); 
    $pow = min($pow, count($units) - 1); 
   
    $bytes /= pow(1024, $pow); 
   
    return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $units[$pow]; 
} 

?>

I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point out and fix the errors in this code, but it would be even more appreciated if someone could provide a working source code of auto-generation of pages on form submit.

Thanks in advanced

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>

I need some help...I want to read the contents of a file into a variable and then insert/write that content into another file.

Code: [Select]
$handle = fopen($create_mysql_db_url, "rb");
  $contents = fread($handle, filesize($create_mysql_db_url));
  fclose($handle);

  $userFileName = $_POST['mysqluser'] . time() . ".php.txt";
  $fhandle = fopen($userFileName,"wb");
  fwrite($fhandle, $contents);
  fclose($fhandle);

  $fh = fopen($userFileName,"wb");
  $contents = fread($fh, filesize($userFileName));

  $content = preg_replace("/###USERNAME###/", $_POST['mysqluser'], $contents);
  $content = preg_replace("/###PASSWORD###/", $_POST['mysqlpass'], $content);

  fwrite($fh, $content);
  fclose($fh);

please help 

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';
      }   
      ?>
