PHP - Returning Form Variables

Hello all,  I'm new to PHP and new to this forum (although I have benefitted from your help already -cheers!). However,  this time I cannot find the answer I need/recognise/understand..

I have a form and want to conduct tests on each field returning an error message as a session variable if the test fails. The test will be different for some of the fields, and the error message is specific to each field. If there is an error in any one of the fields I want to be redirected to a failure page where all of the error messages are displayed,  otherwise I am sent on to another page.

I have already written and tested a function to sanitise the incoming form data,  so that's not a problem - it's just how to loop through and test.

I can guess that there are many ways to do this but I need to understand why one option is better than another,  and follow the syntax used (it's all part of my steep learning curve)

The approach I have thought to use is to create an array holding the field name, the test and the message,  then loop through using foreach, applying the array values into the test and creating the error message....but it's not working for me.

The other method is to declare a variable $Stop='No' and if the loop identifies an error, part of the output is to change this to 'yes' and through that redirect to the error page.

I'd really welcome your advice and tuition....cheers.. my code so far is...

Code: [Select]
$Stop='No';
$StaffPassCheck=sanitisealphanum($_POST['PasswordCheck']);

$Errors[0]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['FirstName']);
$Errors[0]['message']='Please re-enter your name';
$Errors[0]['test']=($StaffFname="");

$Errors[1]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Surname']);
$Errors[1]['message']='Please re-enter your surname';
$Errors[1]['test']=($StaffSname="");

$Errors[2]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Post']);
$Errors[2]['message']='You must select an option';
$Errors[2]['test']=($StaffPost="Select Value");

$Errors[3]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Username']);
$Errors[3]['message']='You must select an option';
$Errors[3]['test']=($StaffUser="");

$Errors[4]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['Password']);
$Errors[4]['message']='Please re-enter your password';
$Errors[4]['test']=($StaffPass="");

$Errors[5]['value']= sanitisealphanum($_POST['PasswordCheck']);
$Errors[5]['message']='Sorry, your passwords do not match';
$Errors[5]['test']=($StaffPass===$StaffPassCheck);

foreach ($Errors as $key => $Value){
if ( $Errors['test']=true ){
$Stop='Yes';
return $_SESSION[$key]=$Value['message'];
}
}

if ($Stop='Yes'){
header('Location.test.php');
die();
}else{
header('Location.indexp.php');
}

I wrote this while loop to cycle through all the rows in my database, and for each row, to create two things, first to echo the name of the book, and the second was to create a button next to it that when clicked, sends the BookID of that row via the post method to the the page at /scas/moreinfo.php . The first echo statement works, and states every book name on the page one after another. For some reason however the form Posts the same book id in every form i think, the value of it being the value in BookID in the last row of the database, in this case 16, so no matter what button is pressed, it sends the value 16. What have I done wrong?

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
          echo  $row['BookName'] ;
   echo "<form name='moreinfo' action='/scas/moreinfo.php' method='post'>";
   echo "<input type='hidden' name='BookID' value='" .$row['BookID']. "'>";
   echo "<input type='submit' value='More Info' />";
        echo "<br />";
}

...to obtain an id_item users doesn´t know and I need to send to the DB   I got this

and with this query

$query_item = "select id_item from item

inner join cilindro on cilindro.id_cil = rx.id_cil
inner join esfera on esfera.id_esf = rx.id_esf

$idlente = mysql_query($query_lente, $conexxion) or die (mysql_error());

I would obtain the id_item, but , how?, because the form it´s not procesed and I´m getting no variable values.      

Basically atm I am trying to accomplish a way to $_POST a selection from my dropdown box in to a PHP variable for use elsewhere. The eventual goal being a form that will allow you to select a user from the dropdown box; then via a HTML form with some additional text fields, add/update database table records for that person.

I have been searching and searching, and I cant find anything that addresses using a dropdown box that pulls names from my SQL in a html web form. All I can find are tons of guides on simple html only forms.

At the moment, the dropdown box is working, It is pulling names from my database/table. But when I select a name from the list and then click on my submit button the $_POST does not seem to be pulling the value for "username".

I have the following for the index page:

<?php
include('/nav.php');
include('/config.php');
include('/dbopen.php');
echo "Select a name: <select name='$name'>";
$query="select * from players";
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$name=$row['PLAYER_NAME'];
echo "<option name=username value='$name'>$name</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action="moduser.php" method="post" />
<input type="submit" value="CLICK!" />
</form>
</body>
</html>


and the following for a test page to see if my form is being submitted correctly:

<?php
include('/nav.php');
include('/config.php');
include('/dbopen.php');
$username="$_POST[username]";
echo "Hello $username";
?>


NOTE:
My includes are tested and working default scripts to connect to database, define some global vars etc.
Should not be relevant to my particular problem

Thanks Much,
Dega.

I want to make a file that I can edit from a form. I don't know what type of file I should use, and how I would edit that file.

When someone goes to the file I don't want them to be able to see the contents (like a php file holding variables). I also don't want to use .htaccess for this.

This file will have things in such as the database connection variables. When someone edits the form, and save it, it will edit the database connection variables to the proper values.

Here is the file I have now:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$settings = array();

$settings['db']['host'] = 'xxxx';
$settings['db']['username'] = 'xxxx';
$settings['db']['password'] = 'xxxx';
$settings['db']['database'] = 'xxxx';

?>
Here is an example input field:
Code: [Select]
<input type="text" name="host" value="<?php echo $settings['db']['host']; ?>" />
What would be the best way to do this?

I need to echo out some string variables in a form. I also want to add some validation for Name, email etc. I think I have the code right or close, but I can an error on the index.php page which is.
"Fatal error:  Call to undefined function  form_row_class() in index.php on line 14"

here is the code for the form

This code is supposed to pull info from a database and place it in a table. Once the user clicks the add activities button at the bottom, there values are supposed to be passed and displayed in the second page. Here's what I have for the second page:


<?php
include "include/dbc.php";

include "include/header.inc";

$activity  = $_POST['activity'];
$exercise = $_POST['exercise'];
$duration = $_POST['duration'];
$distance = $_POST['distance'];



echo $exercise;
echo $duration;
echo $distance;
?>


(Keep in mind that I am using this code to test the functionality of the page before I make it look nice) When I pass the values to the 2nd page, I get a black screen. Nothing is passing and I don't know why. Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there something I need to do to make the code better? Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I need to do the following:

I have 2 forms on two different pages:
Form 1: Name, Email, Phone
Form 2: Name, Email, Phone, Address, etc.

1. User fills out Form 1, presses submit
2. Form 1 gets processed and I receive an email with the visitors Name, Email, Phone
3. After the Form has been processed I need to redirect the visitor to a new page (Form 2)
4. When Form 2 loads, fill in the form with the posted variables (Name, Email, Phone) from the previous process

Here is my code:

Form 1

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<input type="text" name="phone" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>


process_form.php
<?php
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];

$to = 'email@provider.com';
$subject = "Contact Form";

$message = 
"Contact Information\r\n"
."$name\r\n"
."$email\r\n"
."$phone\r\n\";

$headers = "From: $email\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

// Redirect
header("Location: http://www.domain.com/form2/");
?>


Form 2

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="process_form_2.php">

<input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="text" name="phone" />
<input type="text" name="address" />
<input type="text" name="city" />

.
.
.
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</div>
</body>

The form does get processed and I do get an email with the visitor's info. But I'm not able to pass on the variables from From1 to Form2.

Thank you in advance.

what I am trying to accomplish is for the user to select the state they wish, hit submit. At this point another form should show asking which county based on the state they picked, then hit search.

At this point, I'm having an issue having the state variable being passed to the 2nd form also having the state they selected stay selected.


<?php
$default = "Step 1. Pick Your State";
$select = "<option name='statebox'>$default</option>";
  echo "<br/><form method='POST' action=".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']." >";
   echo "<select name='search'>";
echo "$select";
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Connect to the database
include_once 'phpforms/connect.php';

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM states");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$state = $row['states'];
echo "<option name='statebox'>$state</option>";
}//End While
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
        echo "</select>";
        echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='stateboxbutton' value='Ok'> ";
  echo "</form>";
  
echo "</td>";
     echo "<td>";

if(isset($_POST['stateboxbutton'])){
$statesearch = $_POST['statebox'];
$selected = $_POST['statebox'];
$select = "<option name='statebox'>$selected</option>";

  echo "<br/><form action='../search-results.php' method='POST'>";
   echo "<select name='search'>";
echo "<option name='default'>Step 2. Pick Your County</option>";

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Connect to the database
include_once 'phpforms/connect.php';
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM counties WHERE state LIKE '$statesearch'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
$co = $row['counties'];
            echo "<option name='county'>$co</option>";
}//End While
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

        echo "</select>";
        echo "<input align='left' type='submit' name='button' value='Search'> ";
  echo "</form>";

}else{
}//End Else

So I'm making an ordering form for pizza, and it works fine and im using two separate pages: 1- display the form where the user can select the pizza, and 2-display the order and the price, and user can go back and edit

the problem im having is when i got back from the 2nd page to the 1st page, to edit the data, I want the variables to stay the same.  For example, if the user selected a medium cheese pizza, i want the values of cheese and pizza to still be there, so the user doesnt have to fill the entire form out again.

ive done this before, but now when i try it doesn''t work and Ive tried everything.  Thanks in advance

If the code is needed, I'll post it here

Hi all

I have a php form as follows:

<form action="basket.php?action=add&amp;id=1&amp;qty=1" method="post" name="buy-product">
<input name="initial_1" id="initial_1" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1" />
<input name="initial_2" id="initial_2" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1"  />
<input name="initial_3" id="initial_3" type="text" size="8" maxlength="1"  />
<input name="send" type="submit" class="contact-form-button" id="send" value="Submit" />

Basically I need to add the three initials into a session so that they can be shown in the shopping cart next to the product.

How do I add the initials to the session and how do I output them to the shopping cart?

At the start of my basket.php script I have:

$cart = $_SESSION['cart'];
$action = $_GET['action'];
$id = $_GET['id'];
$qty = $_GET['qty'];
$initial_1 = $_POST['initial_1'];
$initial_2 = $_POST['initial_2'];
$initial_3 = $_POST['initial_3'];

I now need to create a table with the cart showing item, price and initials.

Cheers
Pete.

Hi everyone.
I am David and I am new to web design and php. I am following a Lynda.com tutorial on php and sql.
I have reached a certain point in the tutorial where I am reading values back from my database in to a php variable. The variable is holding an array data type and I am accessing the element within the array.

I want a HTML select control and 2 radios buttons to reflect the values in the database.
Therefore the Select control should read a numeric value of type int and the radio buttons are reflecting either a 1 or a 0.

Firstly the code for the Select control uses a for loop to count the array elements and load the count into the Select control. The example uses php mixed with html. The for loop will count the number of element and add a number to the select control. The an If statment is used to make a decision if the count variable equals the value in the array element $sel_subject['position'] then select that value. This does not happen, and I can not seem to get it to work.

                                           <p>Position:
                  <select name="position">
                     <!--use a php block so as to use some php variables -->
                     <!--Use these variables with the get_all_sublects function. -->
                     <!-- This function will return all the dataset -->
                     <?php
                        $sel_subject = get_all_subjects();
                        //Then use the mysql fuction to retuen the numberic value of all the rows.
                        $subject_count = mysql_num_rows($sel_subject);
                        //$subject_count + 1 becauce we are adding a subject
                        for($count=1; $count <= $subject_count+1; $count++)
                        {
                           echo "<option value=\"{$count}\"";

                           if ($sel_subject['position'] == $count)
                           {
                              echo " selected";
                           }
                           
                           echo ">{$count}</option>";
                        }
                     ?>
                  </select>
               </p>

Secondly the radio buttons do something similar in that i want them to reflect the value in the array element. If a 1 then True and so be checked or 0 and so false and so be unchecked.

                                             <p>Visible:

                  <input type= "radio" name= "visible" value= "0"
                  <?php if ($sel_subject['visible'] == 0)
                  {
                     echo 'checked=" checked"';
                  }
                  ?>
                  >No</input>
               &nbsp;
                  <input type= "radio" name= "visible" value= "1"
                  <?php if ($sel_subject['visible'] == 1)
                  {
                     echo 'checked=" checked"';
                  }
                  ?>
                  >Yes</input>
               </p>

Again this doesn't work either. So in summary, I cant get the php code to affect the html form controls and relay the stored data to the user.
I have been racking my brain for days and getting no where. Please can anyone help me with this.

I would be very grateful.
All the best Irish_Dave

Hi guys,

Hi,

I have a feeling that this is going to be an easy miss but I've been over is a good few times and cannot see what it could be. Essentially, when I post the form in the first set of code (I've got rid of a load of unecessary html) the SESSION variables are not loaded into the second piece of code. Any ideas?

Code: [Select]
<?php 
session_start();
require ("connect.php");
$timeout = 1800;
$logout_redirect_url = "login.php";
if (isset($_SESSION['start_time'])) {
    $elapsed_time = time() - $_SESSION['start_time'];
    if ($elapsed_time >= $timeout) {
        session_destroy();
        header("Location: $logout_redirect_url");
    }
}
$_SESSION['start_time'] = time();
?>

<div id="leftlink">
<a href="logout.php">Logout</a>
</div>
<table align="center" width="600px" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<td>
<h2 align="center"><a href="index.php"><img src="images/logo.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br />  Emergency</h2>

    <td width="40">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="230"><div align="left">

  </tr>
