PHP - My Form Isn't Accepting Inputted Values?

I manage a simple website for a small business - nothin fancy. I'm interested using some php to enhance the site a bit. I'm looking to accept some user input and put it into a database then display it back to them on another page. What php functions would be best to use to accomplish this?

Thanks for the input!

I’ve got a well proven php-mysqli website that works perfectly on desktops. It requests the email and password on the login page, taking that data and inspecting it before processing further. I’ve designed the presentation using CSS to be responsive and it’s working well, except for .. .. when I used it on my Nexus 4 and 7 the web site appeared. I touched the menu item ‘login’ and I entered both the correct email and password. However, the application bounced back as it should if either the email or password was wrong. So I inserted PHP scripting and confirmed that the site was receiving the correct email but a wrong password. The logic is 100% proven and the data entry correct. Is there something with the google nexus (and smartphones in general) that disallows web site passwords until some parameter is set? I'm hoping a responsive website developer accommodating nexus 4 or 7 can assist here.

Not sure if this is in the right forum (if not can a mod move it please)....

Im creating a site that is based on a subscription basis. Therefore i need to allow the user to input their card details for me to store to allow payments every month (and also for them to update when needed).

How do you recommend storing card details in the database, im guessing its not secure just to store them as plain text?

Opinions needed

hi i was wondering how i can display the values for a form that already in db. users submitted a form and then when they log in to their profile they can change the value in a form, but the original value would show the one that they first submitted. makes sense?

at the moment its set as blank, how would i display the option value to the one in the db on their profile? thanks

Code: [Select]
<form name="test" method="post">
<select name="ApplicationStatus">
<option value="'">------</option>
<option value="In process">In process</option>
<option value="Withdrawn">Withdrawn</option>
                </select>

Hi, how would i display the date that is already in db and was submitted by user when he logs in to their profile?
That code below works for the values like 'approved' 'denied' so on, but how would i do same for a date? thank you.

Code: [Select]
<?php
include('config.php');
$uname=$_SESSION['username'];
if($_SESSION['username']){
$sql="SELECT ApplicationStatus FROM table1 WHERE uname='$uname'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);}
echo '<form name="test" method="post">
<select name="ApplicationStatus">
<option value="">------</option>
<option value="In process" '.(($row['column1']=='In process')?'selected="selected"':'').'>In process</option>
<option value="Withdrawn" '.(($row['column1']=='Withdrawn')?'selected="selected"':'').'>Withdrawn</option>
                </select>';

Hello Everyone..

Im a programer in php with little experience.
I have a form with 3 pages. 1st page display categories which come from category table. then user can select 1 or upto 3 category there. Then 2nd page display that selected categories and need to display relevant subject to that categories. In second page I use radio button for selected categories to keep a one category as a main category. each categories' subjects display with check boxes. In there too, user can select 1 or 3 more subject in to a particular category. In third form page, that my problem was encounter, there I need to print out  selected category and their subjects in a table.

first two pages are no problem for me and third form I have a problem in how to get categories and their subjects and they print as apiece in the page. like this

category1 | subject1, subject2, subject3
category2 | subject1, subject2, subject3, subject  and so forth.

This same to my first form page
Code: [Select]
$q = 'SELECT * FROM category ORDER BY category_id';
$r = mysqli_query( $dbc, $q);
$c = 0;
$i = 0;
echo '<form action="subjects.php" method="post">';
echo '<table class="form_table" ><tr>';

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array( $r, MYSQLI_ASSOC  )){

// if remainder is zero after 2 iterations (for 2 columns) and when $c > 0, end row and start a new row: 
if( ($c % 2) == 0 && $c != 0){
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
echo '<td width="50%"><input type="checkbox" name="category[]"  value="' . $row['category_id'] . '" />&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $row['category_name'] . '</td>';
$c++;
} // while..
// in case you need to fill a last empty cell:
if ( ( $i % 2 ) != 0 ){

// str_repeat() will be handy when you want more than 2 columns
  echo str_repeat( "<td>&nbsp;</td>", ( 2 - ( $i % 2 ) ) );
}
echo "</tr></table>";

?>

In second page 'subjects.php'  I use

Code: [Select]
if ( isset($_POST['submitted1']) && isset($_POST['category']) && sizeof( $_POST['category']) == 3 ) {

$_SESSION['category'] = $_POST['category'];

print_r ( $_SESSION['category']);

$q = 'SELECT * FROM category ORDER BY category_id';
$r = mysqli_query( $dbc, $q);

while($_SESSION = mysqli_fetch_array( $r, MYSQLI_ASSOC  )){

foreach( $_POST['category'] as $value ) {

if ( $value == $_SESSION['category_id']) {

$q = "SELECT category_subject.category_id, category_subject.subject_id, subjects
FROM category_subject
INNER JOIN category ON category_subject.category_id = category.category_id
INNER JOIN subject ON category_subject.subject_id = subject.subject_id
WHERE category_subject.category_id = {$_SESSION['category_id']}";

$r1 = mysqli_query( $dbc, $q);

$c = $i = 0;

echo '<table class="form_table" ><tr>';

while($_SESSION = mysqli_fetch_array( $r1, MYSQLI_ASSOC  )){

// if remainder is zero after 2 iterations (for 2 columns) and when $c > 0, end row and start a new row: 
if( ($c % 2) == 0 && $c != 0){
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
echo '<td width="50%"><input type="checkbox" name="subject[]"  value="' . $_SESSION['subject_id'] . '" />&nbsp;&nbsp;' . $_SESSION['subjects'] . '</td>';

$c++;

} // while..

// in case you need to fill a last empty cell:
if ( ( $i % 2 ) != 0 ){

// str_repeat() will be handy when you want more than 2 columns
  echo str_repeat( "<td>&nbsp;</td>", ( 2 - ( $i % 2 ) ) );
}

echo "</tr></table>";
}
}
}

}

Those two pages working properly.

In third page that my problem page I tried something like this , but its not working.
value come from subject.php page.

Code: [Select]
if ( ( isset($_POST['submitted2'])) && ( isset($_SESSION['category'])) && (isset( $_SESSION['subjects'])) && sizeof( $_SESSION['category']) == 1) {

//$_SESSION['category'] = $_POST['category'];

print_r ( $_SESSION['category']);

echo 'good';


} elseif ( ( isset($_POST['submitted2'])) && ( isset($_SESSION['category'])) &&
(isset( $_POST['main_category'] ))) {

print_r ( $_SESSION );


echo 'very good';

}
So can any body tell me where is my mistake and help me fix this problem.

any help greatly appreciated.

thank you.

I have a form for  a sign in page that I want the label for the form field to actually be displayed in the text box and clear when the box is selected to enter text.  I've accomplished this using the code below and it works fine.  The problem that I'm having is in IE the password field does not change to display dots or asterisk in place of each character.  It works fine in Fire Fox but not in IE.  Is there way to accomplish this using php or so that it is compatible with most browsers?

Here's the code that I'm using:
Code: [Select]
<?php

echo "<input type=\"text\" name=\"pword\" size=\"17\" value=\"Password...\" style=\"color: #999999\" onfocus=\"if (this.value == 'Password...') {this.value=''; this.style.color='#000000'; this.type='password';}\"> ";

?>

On one of my calculators : https://bizztools.net/2017/qccu/bizztools2015_budgetTest.php

When you press on the envelope in the middle you can send a form to yourself.
Currently it sends all the subtotals for each section .. Income, Personal, Debts etc and I wanted it to now  send  each individual value.

I've added the code in the file that gets used to send the form to the person's email.

Header section:

for ($i = 0; $i <= 79; $i++) {
$item_Annual[$i]  = number_format($_REQUEST['itemAnnualDisplay[$i]']); 
}

Body:     (each line of the form has a different value for $item_Annual)  from 1 to 79

		<TD bgcolor="#EEEEEE" align="left"  valign="middle" height="1"><Font style="font-family:Arial; font-size: 12px;"><font color="#000000">&nbsp;&nbsp;'.$currencySymbol.$item_Annual[1].' &nbsp;</TD>

I've also  added the return code in the  calculations php file.
This section of code is just for the Income sub section

for ($i = 0; $i <= 6; $i++) {
    $incomeSubtotal += $values[$i] * $periods[$i];
    $itemAnnual[$i] = $values[$i] * $periods[$i]; 
    $return['itemAnnualDisplay[$i]'] = $itemAnnual[$i]; 
}
                    
                    //New addtions are lines 3 and 4, the others were already there

 

Now, I've done some process of elimination and when testing to see if   $periods[$i] and values[$i] would show up on the form, the values were zero for each. So each $itemAnnual[$i]is calculated to be $0.

You can see from the form screenshot, the subtotals are calculating, but the individual items are not.

Could this have anything to do with the  form on the calculator page? It's in bootstrap.

 

Help please!! 

 

 

 

 

I've got a form that submits values to itself and the user input values are saved into the database in a table with an auto incrementing ID. After SUBMIT is clicked, it reloads the page and all the values are gone, I'm wondering how I can get it to keep the values so that the user can make a single change and resubmit again.

I know I can save all the values into the session or in the URL or pass them through $_POST in an array but I'm wondering what is the proper way to do this. Thanks.

How does everyone take data input from an HTML Form and convert it into an Object in OOP?

I am thinking it would be better if user inputs resided in an object so that I could manipulate the data in OOP terms instead of referencing the Form procedurally.

Hi, I got this form which passes hidden values as well as a select menu.  The only thing is, it doesnt seem to post the form data to the script.   Here is the form

echo '<form action="regsale.php" method="POST">';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $username ?>"';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="listing_title" value="<?php echo $listing_title ?>"';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="speciesCommon" value="<?php echo $speciesCommon ?>"';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="cost" value="<?php echo $cost ?>"';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="business" value="<?php echo $business ?>"';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="postage_cost" value="<?php echo $postage_cost ?>"';
echo '<input type="hidden" name="multipostage" value="<?php echo $multipostage ?>"';

echo "<ul class='results'>";
echo '<li>Quantity:</li>';      
echo '<select name="quantity">';
echo "<option value='$quantity'>Maximum of $quantity available</option>";
for ($q=1; $q<=$quantity; $q++) 
{
    echo "<option value='$q'>$q</option>";
}
echo '</select>';
echo' </ul><br>';



echo '<div align="center">';
echo '<br>';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Confirm Purchase"><br>';
echo '</form><br>';

And here is the script that the form is posted to

<?php
include 'init.php';

include 'includes/logo.php';


if (!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
   die("You must be logged in to submit care guides"); //this causes to script to stop executing and lets the user know there is a problem

/*

<h1>Payment to <?php echo $username ?></h1><br> works, but I think that is because it is passed in the SESSION.   Any other $variable such as those below

echo '<strong>Thank you for confirming you would like to purchase $speciesCommon; </strong>';
echo '<br>';
echo '<strong>Your payment comes to a total of $total; </strong></h2>';

does not work.   Why is the form not posting the values to the database.   Just in case it helps, the form gets its values from the database, and the values are displayed in the sales page on which the form is contained. Here is the page containing the form.

<?php

Hey everyone. I have a project I'm working on and am having some issues. I'm trying to build a web-based FTP program for a client. I have all the ftp stuff down packed, but I'm having issues with connecting to a local computer. I can get the directories an a local disk viewing and changing just fine, my problem is I'm wondering how I might pass each value of the array generated by the scandir() function into a form element value such as a checkbox. The furthest I've been able to get with this is displaying the last object in the array. Here is some code:

<?php

foreach ($d as $key => $val)
{
   echo "<table width=auto height=auto border=0>
  <tr>
    <td><img src=".$icon." width=16 height=16></td>
    <td>".$val."</td>
    <td><input name=selection type=checkbox value=".$val."></td>
  </tr>
</table>";
?>

All I get is the last item in the array. any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to pass values from an array into a form. As a newbie, I've came up with the code underneath, but I want to pinpoint all the first values toward 1 selection list in the form. Any suggestions how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

This is really cool if I can get it to work

My PHP CODE:

Code: [Select]
$ids = implode (",", $ibforums->input['checkbox']);
Grabs from this data in my HTML FORM:

Code: [Select]
<input name="checkbox[]"  type="checkbox" value="{$r['id']},{$r['friendid']}">

Now when I pass my input, I will get 2 different values in both array's how do I separate them out? I know how to seperate them out using implode, but I need to seperate BOTH of the array's that are being passed, and I need to use them separately.

Well, folks, thanks to all the help, I've narrowed my problem
down to needing a way to allow a variable value to traverse
into subsequent calls of a function.

I have a simple integer - "companyID", and it's set in "actionfile.php"
which is called by two forms.  The first time it's called by Form A,
it's set.  I'd LIKE to put it into $_SESSION, but apparently $_SESSION
is zeroed out before I can use it in the second call to "actionfile.php"
by Form B.  A new form/function call is a new session?

I've tried setting it to global and static, to no avail.

Anything more elegant than writing the value to SQL for later
retrieval?

Thanks!

Mark
