PHP - Post Variable
Hi guys, I pretty new to php, and was writing a small script after a I read a chapter (4) about if-statements of a book. But it seems I am doing something wrong. Maybe someone could help me in the right direction.
In a nutshell: I have a small form, and when someone presses submit it should go to another page and include the variables of the previous page. So far I am only been able to include html form variables which I recover on the next page with $_POST['xxxx']; here under ill Put a part of my script which is not of any use, but its more for me to understand how to get php variables on the next page. I am using a self referencing script and i have some comments added to read along. Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>bla bla bla</title> </head> <body> <?php //code to be executed when monkey button pressed if (isset($_POST['monkey'])){ echo $_POST[$number1]; echo 'monkey pressed'; } //code to be executed when snakes button pressed if (isset($_POST['snakes'])){ echo $_POST[$number1]; echo 'snakes pressed'; } ?> <h1>bla bla bla</h1> <h3> <?php $number1 = $number1.mt_rand(1,100000); echo $number1; ?> </h3> <form action="<?php echo $_PHP['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <input type="submit" value="monkey" name="monkey" /> <input type="submit" value="snakes" name="snakes" /> </form> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsWhat is the most effect approach to doing this? Code: [Select] <?php $catid = $_POST['catid']; if($catid = "Automotive"){ $catid = '3'; } if($catid = "Business"){ $catid = '4'; } if($catid = "Careers"){ $catid = '5'; } if($catid = "Education"){ $catid = '6'; } if($catid = "Financial"){ $catid = '7'; } if($catid = "Government"){ $catid = '8'; } if($catid = "Health"){ $catid = '9'; } if($catid = "Mobile"){ $catid = '10'; } if($catid = "Organization"){ $catid = '11'; } if($catid = "Programming"){ $catid = '12'; } if($catid = "Software"){ $catid = '13'; } if($catid = "Travel"){ $catid = '14'; } if($catid = "Web"){ $catid = '15'; } if($catid = "Other"){ $catid = '16'; } if($catid = "Gaming"){ $catid = '17'; } ?> I tried this and it works; Code: [Select] <?php $catid = "Automotive"; if($catid = "Automotive"){ $catid = '3'; } echo $catid; ?> But... When I add another if statement... Code: [Select] <?php $catid = "Automotive"; if($catid = "Automotive"){ $catid = '3'; } if($catid = "Gaming"){ $catid = '17'; } echo $catid; ?> It echos $catid as 17 and not 3 which is defined as a variable. I hope there is a simple solution for this! Thanks in advanced! Why isn't this working? function friendFunction(){ v=$("Donald"); $.post('./action/friendaction.php',{ user:v.val()},function(d){ alert(d) }); }It works if I change it to user:"bob" though. I have been pulling my hair out for about 2 weeks with this problem. I am doing this on a localhost set up, not a live server. Here are the fields in the categories table in question: id, cattitle, caturl, catdesc, orderby, parentid What I am trying to accomplish is to create a dropdown list from the values in cattitle and parentid fields which I have done successfully. Here is the code from my "categories_modify.php" file where the dropdown is displayed. <form action="" method="POST"> <table cellspacing="5" cellpadding="1" border="0"> <tr> <td> Change Parent Category To: </td> <td> <select name="location"> <?php foreach ($categories as $loc): ?> <option name="parid" value="<?php htmlout($loc['parentid']); ?>"><?php htmlout($loc['cattitle']); ?></option> <?php endforeach; ?> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> <input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php htmlout($id); ?>" /> <input type="submit" value="Update" /> </td> </tr> </table> </form> The code generating the values in the form is in my controller script called index.php. Here is the code for that part. **Note that the top section of the script below populates a series of text boxes with current values in the database for editing/updating I did not show "edit" form in the code above as it works fine. The part of code populating my dropdown box values starts with the "locat... line except for my db.inc.php database connection at the top (which also works fine). if (isset($_POST['action']) and $_POST['action'] == 'Edit') { include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . './includes/db.inc.php'; { $id = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['id']); $sql = "Select id, cattitle, orderby, caturl, catdesc, parentid from categories where id = '$id'"; $result = mysqli_query($link, $sql); if (!$result) { $error = 'Error fetching category details ' . mysqli_error($link); include 'error.php'; exit(); } $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result); $pagetitle = 'Edit Category'; $action = 'editform'; $id = $row['id']; $cattitle = $row['cattitle']; $orderby = $row['orderby']; $caturl = $row['caturl']; $catdesc = $row['catdesc']; $button = 'Update'; $locate = "Select id, cattitle, parentid from categories order by cattitle asc"; $res = mysqli_query($link, $locate); if (!$res) { $error = 'Error fetching category details ' . mysqli_error($link); include 'error.php'; exit(); } while ($locat = mysqli_fetch_array($res)) { $categories[] = array('id' => $locat['id'], 'cattitle' => $locat['cattitle'], 'parentid' => $locat['parentid']); } } include 'categories_modify.php'; exit(); } Now for the code that gets the POSTED info from the dropdown window. if (isset($_GET['location'])) { include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . './includes/db.inc.php'; $id = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['id']); $parentid = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['parid']); $parentid++; $sql = "Update categories set parentid = '$parentid' where id = '$id'"; if (!mysqli_query($link, $sql)) { $error = 'Error updating categories ' . mysqli_error($link); include 'error.php'; exit(); } header('Location: .'); exit(); } The goal is to take the parentid value and increase it by 1 so I can create subcategories based on the parentid value. (maybe not the best way but I'd still like to figure out why I can't make this work.) This line is where I think the problem is, or atleast part of it: $parentid = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['parid']); I believe it is coming back blank because when I re-run the script for my "test" value it will always comeback as 1 (the default value for parentid is 0) 0 + 1 = 1. If I update the form again where the parentid now equals 1 it still equals 1, can't get it to 2. BTW I have tried every variation of the above line I could think of with no luck hence this post. Thanks for any help. I hope this was clear enough. hi is it possible to post a variable like this either with javascript or php query.php Code: [Select] <?php include("../../includes/config.php"); mysql_connect($db_address, $db_username, $db_password);mysql_select_db($db_name) or die(mysql_error()); $fid = $_GET['fid']; $fid = mysql_real_escape_string($fid); $query10 = "SELECT * FROM films WHERE (film_id = '$fid')"; $qry_result10 = mysql_query($query10) or die(mysql_error()); while($row10 = mysql_fetch_array($qry_result10)) { $urlfid="http://www.onfilm.biz/streaming/home/".$row10['client']."/".$row10['client_office']."/".$row10['filename'].".mp4";?> <a class="hofwhite14" href="#" onclick="loadNplay('<?php echo $urlfid; ?>')"><u></u>Property Film</u></a> <?php }mysql_close(); //EDIT 290510 ?> <script type="text/javascript"> var video= $urlfid; $.post('indextest.php', {urlfid:video}); </script> I currently have a php form that asks for first name, last name and email address then when they click submit it sends me an email with this information. I also have a javascript that pops up a window saying their message was sent with an ok button that redirects them back to the main page. I'd like to change this to redirect them to a new php page with a certificate with their name on it taken from the previous php form (but still email me the information). My form action currently points back to the same php page for verification of information (like valid email address, etc.) so I can't point that to a new page. Is there any way to do this? The variables I have for the first name and last name are just $firstname and $lastname. HI - I'm trying to write an expression which tests the existence of a value within a POST variable. I have tried every which way ie isset, empty, ==0.00, NULL and yet I'm doing something wrong as nothing works. I hope you can help this student of PHP ! The expression is testing whether a price per lb exists ie the price of chicken per pound. But some products are not priced this way eg a jar of jam has no $pricelb[$i]. Here's some detail. The expression I am testing is: Code: [Select] if (!isset($pricelb[$i])){ // FIRST HALF FAILS $ordervalue = $price[$i]; $weight = '0.00';} else // SECOND HALF WORKS $pricelb = $pricelb[$i];{ $weight = $weight[$i]; $ordervalue = $pricelb * $weight; The $pricelb[$i] refers to an array of product weights coming off of the array $pricelb = $_POST['pricelb'] which I then cycle through using a for Loop, hence $pricelb[$i]. Bottom Line: if there is no pricelb then the then the ordervalue for the purchase is the same as the starting unit price. Suppose I have 2 products on the order. One with a pricelb of 5 and one with none. Then I do print_r on $_POST['pricelb'] I get: Code: [Select] Array ( [0] => 5 ) I.E. the second value is absent. YET, if I look into the DB table I see pricelb 0.00 for the second value - very confusing ! MANY MANY thanks ! for all your help ! Hi - I have a POST variable which contains a bunch of products with their codes and prices etc. However if the customer wants to delete one of those products it has to be removed from the POST before being processed. I have read the manual on unset which appears to work well when you know the key relating to the value, but if you take a look at the array ( below ) you can see that it is a multi- dimensional array where the number of potential entries not knowable in advance. My HTML checkbox for delete has a value of prodid. The answer is probably obvious but so far this student of PHP hasn't found it - MANY thanks for your advice ! Code: [Select] Array ( [quantity] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 1 [2] => 1 [3] => 1 ) [prodid] => Array ( [0] => 17 [1] => 28 [2] => 27 [3] => 25 ) [name] => Array ( [0] => Ribs Large pack 20 pieces [1] => 25 Piece Bag [2] => Sirloin Steak [3] => 50 piece bag of Scalops ) [orderid] => Array ( [0] => JAC0398 [1] => JAC2920 [2] => JAC2920 [3] => JAC2920 ) [pricelb] => Array ( [0] => 5.00 [1] => [2] => [3] => ) [submit] => Update and Submit to Picking >> ) www.mywebpage.co.uk/page22 Is it possible to produce a variable with the value = page22 using only the url above, I know that usually you would use get and post, but I was just curious to know if this had been done before. Code: [Select] $amountBoxName = "amount".$id; // Constructs the name of the input field $amountToPay = strip_tags($_POST["$amountBoxName"]); $amountBoxName then goes to 'amount22' says, however $amountToPay is then showing also as 'amount22', not getting the value of the text field whose name/id is amount22 on the previous page. How do I do this? I tried having " around the $amountBoxName, ' and no quotes although still can't get it working. Hi, I wrote this to retrieve a file based on a POST value. For some reason it will not retrieve the file content and display it at all. I get this message: Warning: fopen(18.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/x/y/z/path/html/includes/different.php The 18 is the correct POST value. So that is a positive There is a file named 18.txt in /home/content/x/y/z/path/html/includes/18.txt Thanks. <?php $id5 = $_POST[id]; //Display Text File $myFile = $id5; $myFile .= ".txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r'); $theData = fgets($fh); fclose($fh); echo $theData; ?> Hey guys.

Each page calls a different function. I want to be able to pass the <select> value to a variable that I can use within a php condition statement on the same page. This will generate the required output based on the <select> value. This way I dont require a seperate page for each query. So onchange.... $select_value == this.value? Then within my page: Code: [Select] if ($select_value == 'alpha') { get_query_alpha(); } if ($select_value == 'bravo') { get_query_bravo(); } This is my current set up... Code: [Select] <p>Order by: <select name="query" id="query" onchange="gotourl(this.value)"> <option value="query1.php" >Sort by A</option> <option value="query2.php" >Sort by B</option> <option value="query3.php" >Sort by C</option> <option value="query4.php" >Sort by D</option> </select></p> <table> <?php get_query_1();?> </table> and js... Code: [Select] function gotourl(url){ window.location= url; } function selectsubject(){ alert("Please select a subject!"); } Is there a simple way to do this? Thanks. having issues with Code: [Select] echo curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"name='. $name .'&email='. $email .'&macs='.$mac_addresses.'&serial=".$serialnumber); the thing is $mac_addresses is a serialized array that should look like this Code: [Select] 4a:4:{i:0;s:14:"98340234820384";i:1;s:16:"0980342883408230";i:2;s:11:"72843729374";i:3;s:16:"4209384082304980";} but when I unserilize $mac_addressed and echo it I get Code: [Select] \'.a:4:{i:0;s:14:\"98340234820384\";i:1;s:16:\"0980342883408230\";i:2;s:11:\"72843729374\";i:3;s:16:\"4209384082304980\";}.\' can anyone see what my issue is? Hi, I'm trying to edit some database fields, I have text1, text2, text3, text4, text5, text6 etc.. They are displayed on the index.php page, with an edit link so the user can choose which set to edit // Extract details from database $sql = "SELECT * FROM data WHERE id=1"; $stmt = $db->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute(); $e = $stmt->fetch(); <h1><?php echo $e['text1']) ?></h1> <p><?php echo ($e['text2']); ?></p> <p><a href="edit.php">EDIT</a></p> <h1><?php echo $e['text3']) ?></h1> <p><?php echo ($e['text4']); ?></p> <p><a href="edit.php">EDIT</a></p> <h1><?php echo $e['text5']) ?></h1> <p><?php echo ($e['text6']); ?></p> <p><a href="edit.php">EDIT</a></p>
edit.php: // Extract details from database $sql = "SELECT * FROM data WHERE id=1"; $stmt = $db->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute(); $e = $stmt->fetch(); <form method="post" action="process.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label>Page Title <input type="text" name="text1" maxlength="90" value="<?php echo $e['text1'] ?>" /> </label> <br> <label>Title Text</label> <textarea name="text2"><?php echo $e['text2'] ?></textarea> <input id="button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Save Changes" /> and then update them: process.php $sql = "UPDATE data SET text1=?, text2=? WHERE id=1 LIMIT 1"; $stmt = $db->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute( array( $_POST['text1'], $_POST['text2'] ) ); $stmt->closeCursor(); Question: How can I pass the form values dynamically from the index.php page so I don't have to hard code text1, text2 etc into the edit.php and process.php page and have a different update & process page for each set of data?
Thanks in advance. hi ..
hit little snag Ive got html <form name="formx" method="POST" action="connect.php" class='ajaxform'> and about 4 varibles in that form .. now how to properly
query table users so i can find out which prefix correspond with that user
Insert into table "upis" in this case that prefix with 3 variables..
everything in single,.. in this case connect.php file
I know how to do QUERY and INSERT INTO but i don't know how to connect with 2 different tbl or db and do the query and input of data.. every time I put 2 of them together .. never works out..
this is example.. i dont know is this right way to do it .. It's been a while since I've needed to whip anything substantial up from scratch, so my scripting is a little (lot) fast and loose (weird/inefficient) here. I'm trying to mock up a script that's essentially a quiz/survey. There are a handful of topics, each with a few screens of yes/no questions. At the end, it returns a list of recommendations based on the answers gathered. The script is posting back to itself. Using print_r ($_SESSION), it seems like all of the post values for the first screen of questions are being assigned to the session array as expected. When the second screen of questions is answered, their values are assigned as well, but the values for the first set go away completely. This continues through subsequent screens, with the values from the previous screen present and all others before missing. I'd really appreciate a look at my code to see if you tell me the cause or error(s). Thanks! <?php session_start; include('_config.php'); // database connect $dbc = mysqli_connect($CFG->dbhost, $CFG->dbuser, $CFG->dbpass, $CFG->dbname); // set to section 1, page 1 if no values are in _POST array if (($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') || (!isset($_POST['section']))) { $section = 1; $page = 1; } else { // something was posted, so...set those values in session variable foreach($_POST as $key => $data) { $_SESSION[$key] = $data; } // debug: display contents of the session array print_r ($_SESSION); // which section and page? $section = (int) $_POST['section']; $page = (int) $_POST['next']; } // check if last topic $query = "SELECT * FROM hw_topics"; $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); if ($section == mysqli_num_rows($data)) { $last_section = true; } else { $last_section = false; } // get current topic name and info $query = "SELECT topic, display_name, pages_in_topic FROM hw_topics WHERE topic_id = '$section'"; $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); if (mysqli_num_rows($data) == 1) { $row = mysqli_fetch_array($data); $topic_display_name = $row['display_name']; $pages_in_topic = $row['pages_in_topic']; } // test if last page in topic $topic_pages = $row['pages_in_topic']; if ($page == $topic_pages) { $last_page_in_section = true; } else { $last_page_in_section = false; } // set form action (set to this script or to recommendations when last section is complete if (($last_section == true) && ($last_page_in_section == true)) { $form_action = $CFG->reccomend; } else { $form_action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; } // get current page headline $query = "SELECT page_headline FROM hw_pages WHERE topic_id = '$section' AND page_number = '$page'"; $data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query); if (mysqli_num_rows($data) == 1) { // The headline row was found so display the headline $row = mysqli_fetch_array($data); $page_headline = '<h2>' . $row['page_headline'] .

I'm hella frustrated at this script I wrote: for some reason, it will not work correctly. Basically, it works. The first 4 names in the table on the database show up when searched. But, anything past these four names in the database will not show up as a result when searched! I'm pulling my hair out here! It's really simple - take a gander: Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $search = $_POST['search']; $searchQuery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE FullName='$search'"); if (mysql_num_rows($searchQuery) == 0) { $result = "Your search returned no results. Please try again."; } else { $results = 1; while ($getSearchResults = mysql_fetch_array($searchQuery)) { $fullName = $getSearchResults['FullName']; $result = "Name: ".$fullName.""; } } } ?> ...and the HTML form... Code: [Select] <form action="search.php" method="post"> <p>Search: <input type="text" name="search" size="35" maxlength="100" /></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Search" name="submit" /></p> <?php echo $result; ?> </form> Does anyone have any ideas? OK, have no idea what's going on... I've done this a million times... why wont this output!?? I must have a major brain meltdown and dont know it yet!!! Code: [Select] <?php // this echoes just fine: echo $_POST['testfield']; // but this wont echo: echo if (isset($_POST['testfield'])) { $_POST['testfield'] = $test; } echo $test; /// or even this DOESNT echo either!: $_POST['testfield'] = $test; echo $test; ?> Some code from my pages ,
