PHP - Noob Seeking Help On Data Sending/processing/receiving
This has probably been asked a bunch of times , but :
I only recently started to self learn PHP , and this small project i am making is quite a challange for me. The scripts below are not realy writen by me , but i wished to tie them together to get a fully working code. What is suppose to happen is : In the form i wish to put a special button that puts extra input fields in the form. After the form is submited ,with whatever amount of feilds in it, the data goes to a processing.php file that sorts all the info gathered and finaly sends all this data formated in to the last file that will be inluded in the index.php. i already have the code for increcing the amount of inputs but the problem is , all inputs have the same names. Coz of that i get a mess. What i need is each input to have a unique name or id , that way the processing file would receive different names(id's) with different values(what ever is writen in the inputs by users). for example: I have 2 enitial fields displayed on form.html , i click the button "add new" 5 times and add 5 more input fields. All this data must be sent to a process.php and on the output write all of this information formated in the last file in a row that will be displayed in the index by useing <?include("blablabla.php");?> The input increment is done by a java script. the problem is sending data with unique id(name) and receiving it. The form file : <?include("header.php");?> <?$i = 1; ?> <script type="text/javascript"> function validate(frm) { var ele = frm.elements['feedurl[]']; if (! ele.length) { alert(ele.value); } for(var i=0; i<ele.length; i++) { alert(ele[i].value); } return true; } function add_feed() { var div1 = document.createElement('div'); // Get template data div1.innerHTML = document.getElementById('newlinktpl').innerHTML; // append to our form, so that template data //become part of form document.getElementById('newlink').appendChild(div1); } var ct = 1; function new_link() { ct++; var div1 = document.createElement('div'); div1.id = ct; // link to delete extended form elements var delLink = '<div style="text-align:right;margin-right:65px"><a href="javascript:delIt('+ ct +')">Del</a></div>'; div1.innerHTML = document.getElementById('newlinktpl').innerHTML + delLink; document.getElementById('newlink').appendChild(div1); } // function to delete the newly added set of elements function delIt(eleId) { d = document; var ele = d.getElementById(eleId); var parentEle = d.getElementById('newlink'); parentEle.removeChild(ele); } </script> <TABLE> <style> #newlink {width:600px} </style> <form action='sendorder.php' method='post'> <div id="newlink"> <div> <table align="center" border=0> <TR><TD><B>Product:</B> </TD><TD><input type=text name=prodname1 value="<?=$_GET['prodname1'];?>"> </TD> <TD><B>Price:</B> </TD><TD><input type=text name=price1 value="<?=$_GET['price1'].$curency;?>"><b>%</b></TD></TR> </table> </div> </div> <p> <br> <input type="submit" name="submit1"> <input type="reset" name="reset1"> </p> <p id="addnew"></p> <FORM> <INPUT type="button" value="Add New" name="button2" onClick="javascript:new_link()"> </FORM> </form> <!-- Template --> <div id="newlinktpl" style="display:none"> <div> <table border=0> <TR><TD><B>Product:</B> </TD><TD><input type=text name=<?$_POST[++$i];?> value="<?$_GET[$i];?>"> </TD> <TD><B>Price:</B> </TD><TD><input type=text name=<?$_POST [++$i];?> value="<?$_GET[$i].$curency;?>"> </TD></TR> </form> </TABLE> <?include("footer.php");?> in the code above i tryed to make the programm POST the numbers in the name increcing it by 1. But when i click submit i get offset error. The processing file : <? $timestamp = strftime("%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S %Y"); // for later use (ignore it) $i =1; #################################################################################### if(($_POST['prodname']!="")&&($_POST['price']!="")){ ############################################################ $writetocsv = $_POST['prodname1'] . "," . $_POST['price1']"%" <BR> . $_POST[$i] . $_POST[$i]; $fp = fopen("data/data.csv", "a"); fwrite ($fp,$writetocsv); fclose ($fp); echo "<script>alert('Data sent.')</script>"; } else{ echo "<script>alert('Error! Please fill the form!')</script>"; } echo "<script>location.replace('index.php')</script>"; ?> Perhaps someone knows a easyer way , since i am not sure how to make stuff due to the lack of knowlage in php. I also tryed arrays but , as said before , too tough when you are a noob Please help. Similar TutorialsHi there I am trying to send an array of items to delete from a form, receive them back to the page then enter them into another form and then send them back to the page. Basically its a delete then confirm delete thing. So I can send the array from the first form though I am not sure how to place them into the second (confirm delete) form. What I've got so far considering the array does get sent in the first place is First I receive the array: if (isset($_POST['delete'])) { if (isset($_POST['todelete'])){ $todelete[] = ($_POST['todelete']);////here is my problem I think echo <<<_END <div>Are you sure you wish to make these changes</div> <div><form action="" method="post"> <input type='hidden' name='todelete'value="$todelete"/> <input type='hidden' name='confirm'value="confirm"/> <input id='inputform' type='submit' size='50' value='Yes' /> </form> <form action="" method="post"> <input type='hidden' name='rollback'value='rollback' /> <input id='inputform' type='submit' size='50' value='No' /> </form></div> _END; } } Then I try and receive the array back with if (isset($_POST['confirm'])){ foreach ($_POST['todelete'] as $delete_id) { $query ="DELETE FROM gallery WHERE id = $delete_id"; $result=mysql_query($query) or die("Invalid Query : ".mysql_error()); echo "Removing Data"; } } What I receive is a warning: 'Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in C:\wamp\www\css\enterphotos.php on line 91" I am sure that there is a simple solution! Can anyone help me here? Hi all, I should first mention I'm not much of a coder, I'm using PHP to create a custom weather solution for myself. Basically am pulling XML from weather.gov and working with the data. So far, so good. I'm getting the data I want displayed correctly, but noticed when I refresh the page I sometimes receive old data. (From the past hour, two hours, etc.) I figured this was cached info and I'm trying to figure out how to clear that out. This is how I'm accessing the XML: $url = 'http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.65160&lon=-74.34420&FcstType=digitalDWML'; $xml = file_get_contents($url); I did some research and tried the following headers, but that doesnt seem to work: <?php header("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); ?> Also tried appending a random number onto the $url, (as per a forum question/response somewhere) but that didn't work. Anyone suggestions would be great. Thanks Apologies, first off: I only venture into PHP occasionally and my problem is something very very obvious... The data I'm getting back from the script below differs radically from the data recovered by the same SQL applied directly in phpMyAdmin. $sql = mysql_query('SELECT `fid` , `title` , `extension` FROM files WHERE `mid_FK` = 2353 ORDER BY `title`') or die ("Sorry: cannot retrieve files."); $files_found = mysql_fetch_array($sql); $num_files_found = count($files_found); The native SQL returns three rows from the table, all with entries in each column. What my script produces as relevant variables is this. Code: [Select] [sql] => Resource id #6 [files_found] => Array ( [0] => 961 [fid] => 961 [1] => Abstract of Case [title] => Abstract of Case [2] => doc [extension] => doc ) [num_files_found] => 6 This is the first row of the SQL results, duplicated. Whereas what I need are the entries for all three rows. I'm baffled, not least because I copied it out of another script I wrote last time I was doing this sort of thing, which has been working fine ever since. I'm trying to set up paypal payment processing on my website. I have godaddy shared hosting (<--mistake) and I'm trying my hardest to not switch hosts. The payments process fine, it is the listener that I'm having problems with. Paypal POSTs data to a script for which you set the url to a "listener" script in your settings. When a payment is made.... they POST the data to the listener script... you encode the data...append it all together plus another variable and send it back to be verified that it matches... Well I'm not too worried about the script working and all that... the problem is I'm not even RECEIVING the post. I have a simple foreach loop gather and append the data into a string. I have it set up right now to insert into MYSQL just so I can SEE if it's working....You can check your IPN history and I can see that payments are made but paypal is sending it over and over it's in a "retrying" state with a 408 error. My server is not sending a 200ok response. After 4 days of bashing my head against the wall I figured out that there's a problem with godaddy shared hosting.. If I use a virtual private server with the SAME script from godaddy it works just fine. But on the shared hosting it blocks it for some reason...After calling paypal and godaddy countless times with them pointing their finger at each other... one godaddy support rep tells me that I should set my script up with a proxy and he gave me info which I will show you in the script... This is what I need help with right. How can I receive POST data through a proxy in my script.... I want to add that this doesn't make sense to me because in my script I also have the word "yes" insert into MYSQL even if the script is hit at all... All this time my script is NEVER even touched by paypal... So.. if I add this proxy stuff... how will let my script even be accessed? I'm not sure how servers work together too well to process things. It just didn't seem like the proxy thing would even help when my script can't even be accessed it seems. Any help is appreciated. Here's the simple code I'm working with: $con = mysql_connect("","","") or die(mysql_error()); $db = mysql_select_db("swellshirt",$con); $ip = "64.202.165.130"; // proxy IP <-- IP... $port = 3128; // proxy port $url_proxy = 'http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net'; // read the post from PayPal system and add 'cmd' $req = 'cmd=_notify-validate'; foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) { $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value)); $req .= "&$key=$value"; } mysql_query("INSERT INTO orders (description, street) VALUES ('$req', 'yes') ") or die(mysql_error()); I am being sent an XML feed which needs to be downloaded in a 'compressed way'.
The example I have been given is this:

Many thanks Edited by samjsharples, 30 September 2014 - 03:49 PM. I have page1.php which has a post form and page2.php which display data/results. I have a seperate php script file which queries a database. Having completed the query and assuming a result, I would end up with something like Code: [Select] while($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) how do I get the data onto the display page. Looking at example approaches I found this using a go-between file Code: [Select] <?PHP include_once(process.php; process($_POST); display_results; ?> would display_results be a form of redirect? If not? Any help appreciated. I have a PHP file that does some data processing work in the database and I run in from a web browser each weekend. The PHP file usually completes the job in 4 hours, but past 2 weekends, it failed to complete. Then, i need to reexecute the file. Why? And how to fix this? Basically I am trying to make a list of items which I have put into an sql database. When I click on an item in the list, I want a "generic" page loaded, with the items description. Im having alot of trouble with getting this generic page to work. Heres what Ive done so far. The page with shows the list http://pastebin.com/PE8FkyYQ http://pastebin.com/GiCpV5AH The generic page with the items description. http://pastebin.com/HFnSfqN4 http://pastebin.com/C0zsHpZY If anyone can help me solve this problem, ill be greatly in there debt! Hi, I'm trying to fetch rows of data from a mysqli table and display them in the browser in categories. I have the while loop working fine, but I want to break the results down into categories, instead of one big list sorted by a field using ORDER BY. So for example, let's say I have a database table containing people's names, email address, phone numbers, etc. and I want to display them in the browser in separate tables by the city in which they live (each city name would be a h1 or h2 tag) and the appropriate rows would be displayed under each heading, sorted by the person's name. I can do it by using multiple while loops, separating each city into it's own array and then repeating my html table code a bunch of times, but I know there has to be a much cleaner way. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! I'm terrible at getting my question clear, but this is my last try. I got this which gets sent when clicking the button; echo"Auto/Prijs<br><br><select name='autos'>"; echo"<br><br>"; $sql = "SELECT `garage`.`id`, `car_id`, `schade`, `naam`, `prijs` FROM `garage` LEFT JOIN `cars` ON (`garage`.`car_id` = `cars`.`id`) WHERE `user_id`=".ID." ORDER BY `id` ASC LIMIT ".($page * 10).", 10"; $sql = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); $i = 1; while($res = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql)){ echo" <option value='".$res['car_id']."'>".$res['naam']."</option><br> ";This is a dropdown, showing carnames instead of car_id's. Now, the car_id is not unique, but refers to a car. The 'id' in the 'garage' table IS unique. Am I able to like call the 'id' too, and on sending check if that ID is actually the sent 'car_id'? Because, you can tamper the sent car_id and simply change it. This happens on sending: if(isset($_POST['start'])){ $prijs = $_POST['prijs']; $carr = $_POST['autos']; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT `id` FROM `automarkt` WHERE `seller_id`=".ID." LIMIT 1") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_query("INSERT INTO `automarkt`(`seller_id`, `prijs`, `car_id`) VALUES (".ID.", ".$prijs.", ".$carr.")") or die(mysql_error());I'm out of idea's, and can't get clear enough on what I need to do. I need to check if the sent car_id is actually in the 'user''s garage. (Trying to do it by checking the unique entry 'id' in the 'garage' table. Hi there, Everyday I run a php script on a database to extract certain information I need and save to a text file. I then need to be able to send this file to another server without needing for manual intervention. i.e. the script will integrate sending the file to another server. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get started? Thanks! I have two forms that I have created. I wonder if someone could point out where I am going wrong, all data is commented so it should be easier to understand. form1.php Code: [Select] <?php $digest = 0; $amount = 0; $trans_id = 0; $merchant = "so"; $remotepassword = "s0"; if ($_POST) { $digest_this = $_POST['trans_id'] + $_POST['amount'] + $remotepassword; //combine all my values to be md5'd $digest = md5($digest_this); //generate the md5 hash $amount = $_POST['amount']; //what I think I am doing here is posting the data so it can be retrived $trans_id = $_POST['trans_id']; //by a get request on from 2, this is where I need help $merchant = $_POST['merhcant']; $remotepassword = $_POST['remotepassword']; } // end $_POST ?> <form action="part2.php" method="post"> <p> <label for="trans_id">Invoice Number(s): </label> <input id="trans_id" type="text" name="trans_id" /><br /> <label for="amount">Amount Paying: </label> <input id="amount" type="text" name="amount" /><br /> <input value="Send" type="submit" /> <input type="reset" /> </p> </form> form2.php Code: [Select] <?php if ($_GET) { $digest = $_GET['digest']; //here I think I am retriving the data I sent with a post request $merchant = $_GET['merhcant']; //and then storing it in variables $remotepassword = $_GET['remotepassword']; $amount = $_GET['amount']; $trans_id = $_GET['trans_id']; } // end $_GET ?> <form action="https://www.secpay.com/java-bin/ValCard" method="post"> <p> <label for="firstname">First Name: </label> <input id="firstname" type="text" name="firstname" /><br /> <label for="lastname">Last Name: </label> <input id="lastname" type="text" name="lastname" /><br /> <label for="account">Account Number: </label> <input id="account" type="text" name="account" /><br /> <label for="housenumber">House Number/Name: </label> <input id="housenumber" type="text" name="housenumber" /><br /> <label for="postcode">Postcode: </label> <input id="postcode" type="text" name="postcode" /><br /> <label for="email">Email: </label> <input id="email" type="text" name="email" /><br /> <label for="notes">Notes: </label> <input id="notes" type="text" name="notes" /><br /> <!-- Here I have taken all the inputs from the form that are required to be sent --> <!-- and given the input_id names as the values required by the pay point servers --> <input name="callback" value="http://www.sol.co.uk/authorised;http://www.sol.co.uk/declined" type="hidden" /> <input name="merchant" value="<?php echo "$merhcant"; ?>" type="hidden" /> <!--here I am populating hidden fields with php script data--> <input name="remotepassword" value="<?php echo "$remotepassword"; ?>" type="hidden" /> <input name="req_cv2" value="true" type="hidden" /> <input name="options" value="test_status=true" type="hidden" /> <input name="digest" value="<?php echo "$digest"; ?>" type="hidden" /> <!-- Here I have defined all of the constant hidden values that never change --> <!-- Now in this section of the form I have defined the value that will change, combining the three fields --> <!-- that are required in order to create the digest value --> <input value="Send" type="submit" /> <input type="reset" /> </p> </form> Thanks for looking, I think its something basic im missing, first time doing this if you hadnt of guessed Hi, now im fairly new to the whole data transferring with php, so i was just curious to if this is possible? Thanks D Hi. I am writing a web app to control Zoom Player on my HTPC. I found that ZP supports listening on a TCP port to accept control commands. The docs say to quit ZP, send 5100,fnExit + ASCII 13/10 to port 4769. My original client was C# and I implemented it there, works great. I then realized WTF am I doing using an external .EXE to just send data to a TCP port? Switched to using PHP's fsockopen. Alas, that causes an error to pop up on ZP (List index out of bounds or some such). Perplexed, I wrote a GUI for the HTPC to just display an ASCII val breakdown of what it receives to compa So it looks like they both send the data the same. Any idea why the discrepancy? Here is the code: C# that works: Code: [Select] string cmdstr = ""; for (int x=2; x<=args.Length-1; x++) cmdstr += args[x] + " "; if (SendCommand(args[0], System.Convert.ToInt16(args[1]), cmdstr.Trim() + Environment.NewLine)) Console.WriteLine("Command string sent."); Environment.Exit(0); static bool SendCommand(string dest, int port, string cmd) { try { IPAddress[] ips = Dns.GetHostAddresses(dest); TcpClient client = new TcpClient(); IPEndPoint serverEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(ips[0], port); client.Connect(serverEndPoint); NetworkStream clientStream = client.GetStream(); ASCIIEncoding encoder = new ASCIIEncoding(); byte[] buffer = encoder.GetBytes(cmd); clientStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); clientStream.Flush(); clientStream.Close(); clientStream.Dispose(); client.Close(); return true; } catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine("Failed: " + ex.Message); return false; } } The PHP that is being difficult: Code: [Select] send_data("lioth", "4769", "5100,fnExit"); function send_data($host,$port,$data='') { $fp = fsockopen($host,$port); if($fp) { fputs($fp, "$data\r\n"); fclose($fp); } return; } I've looked at various cURL tutorials and the PHP manual, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong here. My goal is to be able to send data to test.php and then have that page run a MySQL query to insert the TITLE and MESSAGE into the database. Any comments? :/ post.php <?php if(isset($_GET['title']) && isset($_GET['message']) && isset($_GET['times'])) { $array = array('title' => urlencode($_GET['title']), 'message' => urlencode($_GET['message'])); foreach($array as $key => $value) { $fields = $key.'='. $value .'&'; } rtrims($felds); //set our init handle $curl_init = curl_init(); //set our URL curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_URL, 'some url'); //set the number of fields we're sending curl_setopt($curl_init ,CURLOPT_POST, count($array)); for($i = 0; $i < $_GET['times']; $i++) { //send the POST data curl_setopt($curl_init, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields); curl_exec($curl_init); echo 'post #'.$i.

Hi, I'm new to PHP and have dabbled a little but need some help or someone to point me in the right direction if possible. I have an ajax web-form that sends the inputed data to a php file and then emails the results to the designated address (all working fine). However, what I am looking to do is have the php file (in addition to the current function) convert the data into XML and then attach the XML file to the email that is sent out. As mentioned I'm new to php and have a small amount of knowledge so any help on this would be very much appreciated.
