Similar TutorialsHi I have a text area, that I want to display info pulled from a database. I can get the data to show, But can get each entry of the table to display on it's own line. Example: ob1ob2ob3ob4ob5 Should be: ob1 ob2 ob3 ob4 ob5 CODE: Code: [Select] <textarea id="interest" onfocus="clearInterest()" class="textareacss" style="height:212px;overflow:auto;"><?PHP $newInterestSub = Admin_interests_sub::find_by_cat_id($id); foreach($newInterestSub as $newInterestSubs){ echo $newInterestSubs->interest_sub.'\n'; } ?></textarea> Any help would be great. Hi Everyone, Hopefully this will be a quick one. How would i write each line in a textbox as a new row in a mysql database? I cant seem to find the solution on google. Thanks Good morning to all. Recently I just read a post here , it's about how to insert different lines from <textarea> to different mysql rows . http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=325239.0 Thanks to AbraCadaver , his code works well. Quote $lines = array_map('mysql_real_escape_string', explode("\n", $_POST['textarea'])); $values = "VALUES ('" . implode("'), ('", $lines) . "')"; $query = "INSERT INTO table_name (column_name) $values"; But now if have more than one textarea , such as area1,area2 and area3 , how should change the code so that all data can be inserted into database simultaneously? Such as data of area1 is for column 1, row 1, data for area2 is for column2 , row 1, and data of area3 is for column 3 ,row 1. Is it possible to make this works? Thanks for every reply . Or something like that... I am not sure how to put this.. Anyway, I'll just get started with explaining my problem. I have an admin-page in which you can delete the comments given on blogs, using checkboxes and clicking on a button with the value 'verwijderenSubmit'. The deletion part works just fine, nothing wrong. However, I also want to be able to EDIT the comments with an other button called 'bewerkenSubmit', using the same checkboxes that I use for deletion. Selecting the right CID (CommentID) is no problem, because that works the same as the deletion-part, but selecting the right textarea to update into the database is the problem... I uploaded a file here with the whole code: http://dhost.info/ddfs/myproblem.html I escaped the textarea within with square brackets, because otherwise the whole textarea would screw up.. I also added <!-- RELEVANT CODE --> to select the parts that I need to change. Well, I hope you understand my problem and can help. I have a form that generates html code, and displays it in a textarea with submit button. I want to submit button to take the data entered in that textarea1 on page 1, and upload to textarea2 on page 2 How can I do this? I have no idea where to start. hello everyone, I am about to start coding my pages to display results from a database but before i do i want to know information about the following : Is it best to upload images to a database?and display them accordingly? or is it best to use images from a directory? What is most commonly used and or more reliable? Another topic i have trouble finding information on is actually positioning the output from you mysql database, is this practice done with tables?fields and rows? What is this method called? And is there more then one way to go about controlling result layout on your page? Sorry about the 1001 questions , but i am unable to find a clear answer on the topic ..especially question two . Thanks in advance. I have a very tricky php problem here. At least for me. On a page that is editing a job entry. I have a database generated group of checkboxes some of which have been checked when the job was entered. So the script has to do two things generate the complete list of checkboxes and check the ones that have already been selected in the job request. The below script is what I've done trying to figure it out. Description of what I'm trying to do: I'm generating the the boxes with a call to my database for the list of checkboxes. Then I'm building an array with all the possible items that could be checked to compare against. Ok here is where I think my first problem is. I need to make a second query to another table "worklog" in the same database. This is where the list of checked items are stored. What is the best way to do this? A second query seems wrong "or at least not efficient" Code: [Select] <div class="text">Job Type (<a class="editlist" href="javascript:editlist('listedit.php?edit=typelist',700,400);">edit list</a>):</div> <div class="field"> <?PHP $connection=mysql_connect ("localhost", "user", "password") or die ("I cannot connect to the database."); $db=mysql_select_db ("database", $connection) or die (mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT type FROM typelist ORDER BY type ASC"; $sql_result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die (mysql_error()); $i=1; echo '<table valign="top"><tr><td>'; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $type = $row["type"]; if ($i > 1 && $i % 26 == 0) echo '</td><td>'; else if ($i) echo ''; ++$i; $aTypes = array ("Spec Ad Campaign", "100 x 100 Logo", "100 x 35 (Featured Developer/Broker)", "100 x 40 (Featured Lender)", "120 x 180 (Home Page Auto)", "120 x 45 (Half Tile - Jobs)", "120x60 (Section Sponsor)", "125 x 40 (Profile Page logo)", "135 x 31 (Autos)", "135 x 60 (Autos)", "135 x 60 (Logotile - Jobs)", "150 x 40 (Auto Logo)", "160 x 240 (monster tile)", "160 x 400 (Skyscraper)", "160 x 600 (Tower)", "170x30 (Section Sponsor)", "240 x 180 JPG/GIF Auto Video", "240 x 180 size FLV video ", "300 x 250 (Story Ad)", "300 x 600 (Halfpage)", "468 x 60 (Banner Jpg/Gif)", "728 x 90 (Leaderboard)", "95 x 75 (Sweeps Logo) ", "Agent Profile Page", "Contest", "Creative Change", "Employer Profile", "Holiday Shop", "Home of the Week", "HP Half Banner (234 x 60 Static)", "Mobile Ads (320x53 *300x50*216x36*168x28)", "Newsletter", "Peelback", "Pencil Ad", "Print", "Real Deals", "Resize ad campaign", "Roll-Over Skyscraper", "Site Sponsor logo (170x30)", "Splash Page Production", "Travel Deals Update", "Video Ad", "Web Development", "Web Maintenance", "Web Quote (or Design)"); $dbTypes = explode(',',$row['type']); foreach ($aTypes as $type){ if(in_array($aType,$dbTypes)){ echo "<input style='font-size:10px;' name='type[]' type='checkbox' value='$type' CHECKED><span style='color:#000;'>$type</span></input><br/>"; }else { echo "<input style='font-size:10px;' name='type[]' type='checkbox' value='$type'><span style='color:#000;'>$type</span></input><br/>"; } } } echo '</td></tr></table>'; ?> </div> after cloasing connection of database i still got the values form database.

The approach I have in mind is a pseudo-PHP database. To give an example: A HTML form will submit the results to a PHP file. HTML FORM - Colour: Black PHP RESULT PAGE - if ($_POST['color'] == 'Black') {readfile("./products/black/*.html");} HTML FORM - Price: <$50 PHP RESULT PAGE - if ($_POST['Price'] == '<$50') {readfile("./products/less50/*.html");} The problem here is if there is an item that is black and costs less than $50, then its going to be listed twice. There is probably some code I can write to ommit the listing of duplicate entries, but it is probably going to be messy, so I am wondering if its better to use a centralized MySQL database, rather than a pseudo-PHP database? I've never used MySQL and don't know much about it and this is my first real attempt at using PHP. I have a standard form that displays users current data from a mysql database once logged in(code obtained from the internet). Users can then edit their data then submit it to page called editform.php that does the update. All works well except that the page does not display the updated info. Users have to first logout and login again to see the updated info. even refreshing the page does not show the new info. Please tell me where the problem is as i am new to php.
my form page test.php
<?PHP
require_once("./include/membersite_config.php");
if(!$fgmembersite->CheckLogin())
{
$fgmembersite->RedirectToURL("login.php");
exit;
}
?>
<form action="editform.php?id_user=<?= $fgmembersite->UserId() ?>" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="id_user" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserId() ?>"><br>
Name:<br> <input type="text" name="name" size="40" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserFullName() ?>"><br><br>
Email:<br> <input type="text" name="email" size="40" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserEmail() ?> "><br><br>
Address:<br> <input type="text" name="address" size="40" value="<?= $fgmembersite->UserAddress() ?> "><br><br>
<button>Submit</button>
my editform.php
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","user","pass");
if (mysqli_connect_errno())
{
echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
}
mysqli_query($con,"UPDATE fgusers3 SET name = '".$_POST['name']."', email= '".$_POST['email']."', address= '".$_POST['address']."' WHERE id_user='".$_POST['id_user']."'");
header("Location: test.php");

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone could help me. I've got a My_SQL database containing articles, a summary for the article and a date. I have a basic CMS system set-up, but I want to create a script that when users sign up to a mail list it forwards the summary and dates of the articles database. If that makes sense? But I only want it to forward the most recent 5 rows. I'm pretty new to PHP and I've been mostly following tutorials thus far, but this is quite specific. Thanks in advance! Hi All, New to PHP so any help appreciated
Can anyone explain why this;
<tr><td><label for="notes">Notes:</label> Displays data from a MySQL database (field $notes, VARCHAR(250) ) and this;
<tr><td class=textboxlabel><label for="notes">Notes:</label> displays nothing????
Not sure how much info to provide........ Edited November 20, 2019 by cyberRobotAdded a more meaningful post title I have a textarea displaying data from a mysql table. However, a user discovered today that if they use a carriage return in the textarea, the data comes out with "rn" at the location in the text where the carriage return goes. I have been searching the forums for a while this afternoon and have found quite a few references to this, but have been unable to fix my problem. I am using mysql_real_escape_string before inserting into database (I am not using anything else at insertion time). Is there something else that I should be using at either the insertion into the database or when I display the data? I have tried various combinations of htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() and nl2br() with no luck. Here is a sample of the output in my textarea: Quote copy diagonal lines and a square with no more than 1/4" overlap or gap at point of closure(modified).rn2.Patient will draw a person ........ Should look like: Quote copy diagonal lines and a square with no more than 1/4" overlap or gap at point of closure(modified). 2.Patient will draw a person ........ Thanks for the help. Matt I'm trying to add a textarea box at the bottom of this form so I can type in note or comments. The issue I'm running into is, the textarea box does not cover the full width of the form...can someone take a look at this code & help me out? I've also attached a .jpg of what I'm seeing in the browser. Thanks Code: [Select] <td> <textarea name="comments" cols"100" rows="5"> </textarea><br> </td> Please help refresh my memory... It seems to me that there is some combination with nl2br that is a no-no... I am thinking I need to remove nl2br in this code... <textarea id="comments" name="comments" cols="50" rows="15"><?php if (isset($comments)){echo nl2br(htmlentities($comments, ENT_QUOTES));} ?></textarea> Debbie I have a php form which shows all comments of the webpage stored in the database. When i click on the edit button the corresponding 'comments' datas should appear in the textarea. how can i do this, pasting my piece of code $query="select *from comments order by id desc"; $result=mysql_query($query); echo "<table width='700' align='center' border=1><tr bgcolor='green' align='center'><td><font color='black'> SlNo </font></td><td><font color='black'>Comment</font></td><td><font color='black'> Date Posted </font></td><td>Edit/Delete</td></tr></b>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $d=$row['0']; $id=$row['0']; $name=$row['1']; $date_uploaded=$row['2']; echo "<td>$id</td><td>$name</td>". "<td>$date_uploaded</td>". "<td><a href='edit_comments.php?id=$id'>Edit </a></td>". "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; } if(isset($_GET['id'])) { $id = $_GET['id']; mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die("Cannot connect to the Host"); mysql_select_db('sample') or die("Cannot connect to the Database !!"); $query = "SELECT comments FROM comments_tble WHERE id = '$id' "; $result = mysql_query($query); $row=mysql_fetch_row($result); echo"<input type='text' col id='edit_comments' value='$row[0]' width='250' height='10' >"; exit; } I hope someone can help me out with this. What I would like to do is import a text file dircetly to a text area. I can't seem to find any examples on this (Yes I did search Google). I know how to upload but I'm not interested in storing files on the server - but rather just importing them directly to a textarea. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I can upload: <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" /> Upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload File" /> </form> I can read: $myFile = "testFile.txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') But I'm not interested in either of these as they are unnecessary steps (or are they?). Is there not a way to simply browse/import a text file directly to a textarea (or anywhere for that matter) without having to actually save the file to the server? Something like this: <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST"> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="100000" /> Upload: <input name="uploadedfile" type="file" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload File" /> </form> //uploader.php if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $content = $_POST['"grab the contents of the file"']; echo "<textarea>"; echo $content; echo "</textarea>"; } |
