http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=319400.0

HI recently we have been starting to recieved about 30 spam emails aday. I read that the issue was how my forms were submitting and that it kept bypassing the javascript.  I found some code i could use at http://chrisplaneta....with_recaptcha/ but i cannot seem to get the form to function correctly.   It is supposed to email me once the form is validated but the email does not seem to be sending.   Also i would like the form to redirect to a thank you page once it has been agreed. I did try but it kept telling me the headers had already been called.  i am calling the page in with php include.  Can you please advise the best way for me to relocate.   I have attached a copy of my form.php page  which has every thing on. I have also included the code at the bottom of this email   Also i would appreciate any comments on what i can include on my form to limit the spammers

I have a basic question for anyone that can help me.
Ive added a captcha input field to the form below, as Im having problems with spam appearing on my testimonial page.

1) How can I prevent the form from being sent if the wrong or no answer is in the form field.
2) How can i have a message appear saying "Sorry wrong answer" if the from isnt sent for the above reason?

add.php
Code: [Select]
<form method="post" action="process2.php" >
<textarea rows="25" cols="100" wrap="physical" name="data">
</textarea>
<input type="hidden" name="area" value="testimonial"/>
What is 5+5?
<input type="text" name="captcha"/>
<input type="submit" value="Add ">
</form>   

process2.php
Code: [Select]
<p class="add">Thankyou for submitting your testimonial;</br>
<?php $data="<br><br>" . $_POST["data"]; ?><br />
<?php $area=$_POST["area"]; ?>
<?php echo $data; ?></p>
 
<?php mysql_query("UPDATE wheelchairwizard SET data = CONCAT(data, '$data') WHERE area = '$area'"); ?>

Just a bit of background first: I have a contact form set up on one of my domains. It hasn't been updated in 7 years and recently I started getting about 3-8 spam messages daily through it. At some point I updated other sites with code that includes a CAPTCHA.   Out of sheer laziness, instead of recoding the contact form that was getting spammed, I just copied & pasted one of the updated forms and changed the necessary details like which e-mail address, URL, etc. Unfortunately, this hasn’t worked out properly.   For some reason the CAPTCHA image isn’t being displayed. I keep looking but can't find the error(s). Could someone please take a look at the code and tell me what went wrong? I’d be ever so grateful for any help!
The code for the form itself:

<form method="post" action="mail-e.php">
<p><input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="who are you?" size="25" /></p>
<p><input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="you@whatever.bla" size="25" /></p>
<p><input type="text" name="url" id="url" value="http://" size="25" /></p>
<p><textarea name="comments" id="comments" rows="1" cols="20">Go on, then. Tell me a story, wingy!</textarea></p>

I don’t know where it all went wrong as I’m using pretty much the same code without problems here, here and here.   The form isn't being used presently (apart from the spam) but I am itching to know what the problem is.   P.S. The link to the CAPTCHA image wasn’t always http://echoing.org/captcha.php in the code. On the other forms and initially with this one the code was ./captcha.php but I changed it in case that was the problem. Looks like it isn’t.   Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,   I am unable to get the any of the form values to stay after submission with captcha.   My code is below.   Please help. Also the error of the validation doesnt display on submission

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie trying to improve my script below.
The script works fine but I would like to add the 3 radio buttons computations enhancements
Ergo,  if a user chooses 'Matte Paper" a 10% would be added to the Price Quote result.
If a user chooses ' Gloss Paper,  a 10% would be added to the Price Quote result.
If a user chooses 'Canvas" , a 20 % would be added to the Price Quote result.
If someone could assist with the math or post me a helpful link it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Paul from Melbourne, Australia.

Is jquery/Ajax better than real/raw PHP for form validation ?!

What if JavaScript is turned off on the browser?!

why after someone refreshing a page on the browser, the variables used to echo error after invalid data is being submitted will return the undefined variables error?!

And how to handle form validation including an empty form field, maximum amount of value entered and so on

I'm making a registration form and i want to add a user when i click the registration button, but the user can not already be in the database, i set  the user to be unique inside of the database and when i try to add a new user it gives an error message, but instead of that error message i would like to input please enter another user-name or user already exist something like that the error message says duplicate entry 'username' inside of db basically...
can someone help me with this ?

Hi Guys,

When i do a test signup on: http://www.digicures.com/sign-up.php everything works great i get an email and the entry is saved in the database, over the paste week or so i have had about 8 emails saying people have signed up but when i check the database there nothing there!

i can't understand it, only when the insert query is true should it send me the mail eh?

can anyone see any problems with the code at all?

cheers guys

Currently I'm trying to get a registration form to work adding a username and password into a database. That bit I understand and have managed to do aswell as getting the password to hash using  the line below:

$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

 

What I'm trying to do now is have the passwords check to see if they are the same, if so the user is able to register, if not they are sent back to the registration page(which was working before I started tampering with the next bit). I also want to checkto see if the username is taken, the following code is what I have so far:

<?php
session_start();

/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "rockinrochester");
 
// Check connection
if($link === false){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
 
$sql= mysql_query("SELECT FROM register (username, password) WHERE username=$username");
 if(mysql_num_rows($sql)>=1)
   {
    echo"name already exists";
   }
 else
    {
   	$username = $_POST['username'];
	$password = $_POST['password'];
	$password2 = $_POST['password2'];
	$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
	
if($password != $password2) {   //checks to see if passwords match, if they don't it redirects person back to registration form
		header('Location: register.php');
		echo "passwords didn't match";
	    
}
else {
	
 $sql = "INSERT INTO register (username, password) VALUES ( '$username','$hashed')"; // if passwords match inputs them into database
	
}

if(mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
   header('Location: registered.php'); // if it works relocated person to registered.html
} else{
    echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link); // if it fails it prints an error message
}
 
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);
    }


?>

<?php
session_start();

/* Attempt MySQL server connection. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost", "root", "", "rockinrochester");
 
// Check connection
if($link === false){
    die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
 

	$username = $_POST['username'];
	$password = $_POST['password'];
	$password2 = $_POST['password2'];
	$hashed = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT FROM register(username, password, ) WHERE username=$username");

 if(mysql_num_rows($sql)>=1)
   {
    echo"name already exists";
   }
 else{

if($password != $password2) {   //checks to see if passwords match, if they don't it redirects person back to registration form
		header('Location: register.php');
		echo "passwords didn't match";
	     }


else {
	
    $sql = "INSERT INTO register (username, password) VALUES ( '$username','$hashed')"; // if passwords match inputs them into database
	
}

if(mysqli_query($link, $sql)){
   header('Location: registered.php'); // if it works relocated person to registered.html
} else{
    echo "ERROR: Could not able to execute $sql. " . mysqli_error($link); // if it fails it prints an error message
}
 
// Close connection
mysqli_close($link);

    }


?>

at the minute It's throwing back the following error

changing code

I need an Event Registration Script that allows for payment with Paypal & saves form details and Paypal transaction ID to my MySQL DB After the payment has been finalized.

I want to have ppl be able to register for camp, and with that choose if they want to preorder the new camp DVD, order last camps DVD, order both DVD's or neither DVD.

I am not incredible gifted with PHP since I am new so please be gentle. What do you recommend?

I would like to learn a little from this process instead of buying a completed script.

Thanks

Any body please, Why my registration form page stoped working, don't feed the dbase any more, I'm the only one with access to make changes but I did not make any changes, just stoped out of no where, any ideas?

below is the code for a registration form. It "works",I mean that the insert query is being performed, some error messages appear. the problem is, i don't understand how "root" is being automatically sent to the database as a username.

when logging into phpmyadmin, the username root appears because it is on autofill. but, i don't get why it's filling the registration form with root. i don't see "root" entered on the form, but, after registering, it says "Congratulations root!". If i leave the form blank, i don't get the error message for blank username either.

i've just started learning php,so i guess something might be wrong with the code.
any help, please?

Hi, php newbie here, web developer newbie too!

Some time ago I did a website which included a course registration form which someone else created for me in php.  This worked fine and I amended the original to work on another website.  I am currently updating this second website and the php has stopped working, and I am no longer in contact with the original developer of the code.

The form is at: http://www.bisntechnologies.com/register.htm, and the php is:

<?php

/* ------- Stuff You Can Change --------- */

$recipient = 'registration@bisntechnologies.com';
$redirect  = 'confirmation.php';

/* -------------------------------------- */

$name = $HTTP_POST_VARS['name'];
$company = $HTTP_POST_VARS['company'];
$position = $HTTP_POST_VARS['position'];
$telephone = $HTTP_POST_VARS['telephone'];
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS['email'];
$interest = $HTTP_POST_VARS['interest'];
$clientip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

$msg = "Name: $name\nCompany: $company\nPosition: $position\nTelephone: $telephone\nE-mail: $email\nInterest: $interest\n\nIP Address: $clientip";

$replymsg = "<html><body style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: 13px\"><p>Dear $name,</p><p>Thank you for registering.</p><p><a href=\"http://www.bisntechnologies.com\"><img border=0 src=\"http://www.bisntechnologies.com/images/NewLogo.jpg\" alt=\"BiSN Technologies Ltd\"></a></p></body></html>";

if (mail($email,'Registration',$replymsg,"MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1\r\nFrom: registration@bisntechnologies.com")) {
 mail($recipient,'Registration Confirmation',$msg,"From: $email");
 include($redirect);
} else {
  echo "<h4>\"$email\" is an invalid e-mail address. Please click the browser's Back button.</h4>";
}

?>

Putting in valid information gives the error:  "" is an invalid e-mail address. Please click the browser's Back button." which it didn't used to do.  I expect it is a very simple mistake but I cannot trace it.

Any help to pinpoint the problem greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I am currently coding a site from scratch. I know i can use templates and everything else but i want the experience. The HTML I've had down for years but it seems PHP is getting a little elusive for me. I'm trying to create a registration form and when i test my site i keep getting parse errors and syntax errors... mainly regarding the use of {} and if/else. Any help would be appreciated. Most of the code is still incomplete, I have to go back and fill in some areas I've left blank for now, but i have commented using // Where the browser is kicking back my errors.
