PHP - Form Submit

Can anybody see as to why, if any, this form takes forever to execute?
Code: [Select]
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submitted'])){
    $z = $_POST['zipcode'];
    $r = $_POST['radius'];
    
    $sql = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT m.LocAddZip, m.MktName,m.LocAddSt,m.LocAddCity,m.LocAddState,m.x1,m.y1,z1.lat,z2.long
    FROM mrk m, zip z1, zip z2
    WHERE m.LocAddZip = z1.zipcode
    AND z2.zipcode = $z
    AND ( 3963 * acos( truncate( sin( z2.lat / 57.2958 ) * sin( z1.lat / 57.2958 ) + cos( z2.lat / 57.2958 ) * cos( z1.lat / 57.2958 ) * cos( z1.long / 57.2958 - z2.long / 57.2958 ) , 8 ) ) ) <= $r ")
    
    or die(mysql_error());
        while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $sql )) {
            $store = $row['MktName']."<br />";
            $store .= $row['LocAddSt']."<br />";
            $store .= $row['LocAddCity'].", ".$row['LocAddState']." ".$row['LocAddZip'];
            $lat1 = $row['lat'];
            $lon1 = $row['long'];
            $lat2 = $row['y1'];
            $lon2 = $row['x1'];
            $dis = distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2);
     
            echo "<p>".$store."</p>";        
            echo ceil($dis) . " mile(s) away";
            echo "<hr/>";
        }
}
?>

I get a timeout error sometimes, and sometimes I don't.
Is it the form, or would it be on the server?

Thanks in advance

Code: [Select]
<?php
 
if (isset($_POST['checking'])) { echo $_POST['checking']; }
if (isset($_POST['test'])) { echo $_POST['test']; }
 
?>
 
 
<form id="testform2" action="testform.php" method="post">
 
<select name="checking" onchange="this.form.submit()"><option value="5">5</option><option value="6">6</option></select>
<input type="text" name"test" id="test">
 <a href="#" onclick="this.form.submit()">submit it!</a>
</form>


It works when I try to submit by selecting a new value from the dropdown box but when I try to click the link it won't display the text field value. That is a test case for a problem I m having in one of my codes.

hello everyone, I have a php form, everything works, I do not carry any header() at the end of the form because I have to stay on the same page and because I feel it wipes out the message you sent the form successfully, but for this though if reloading  the page shows me the popup asking me to resend the form.  how can i solve?  I found a function in js with replacestate but I saw that it doesn't work with mobile Safari.

if ( window.history.replaceState ) { window.history.replaceState( null, null, window.location.href ); }

 

Hi, I have setup a basic enquiry form with a Captcha - once the code has been inserted and is correct I want to action the form (submit) in PHP.

<?php

session_start();
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'){
$vResult = '';
if(strtolower($_SESSION['security_code']) != strtolower($_POST['security_code'])){
$vResult = 'Invalid code!';
}
else{
"/enquiry.php"
}
}
?>

I want to submit the form to /enquiry.php - I tried header(Location.. and realised that just redirects, and doesn't submit the form.

Any suggestions or tips would be great.

Cheers,

Paul

I can't submit php form using IE 8.  This works fine on Firefox very well.
I tried following code but none of them is working.   
1.  <button type="submit">Submit</button>

2.  <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit">


 I would appreciate if any one help me in this.

i have a form for my admin to update the products and their deails on my site. but i have decided to add stock and supplier tables to the database. so i have a products table, stock and supplier. each have an id.   in my admin form, id like the admin to submit once to multiple tables...   php code that i need to improve

<?php
// Parse the form data and add inventory item to the system

if (isset($_POST['product_name'])) {

    $product_name = $_POST['product_name'];
    $price = $_POST['price'];
    $category = $_POST['category'];
    $stock = $_POST['stock'];
    $details = $_POST['details'];
    $rating =$_POST['rating'];
    $letter = $_POST['letter'];
    $supplier = $_POST['supplier'];        

    // See if that product name is an identical match to another product in the system
    $sql = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT id FROM products WHERE product_name='$product_name' LIMIT 1");
    $productMatch = mysqli_num_rows($sql); // count the output amount
    //if product match is greater than 0
    if ($productMatch > 0) {
        echo 'Sorry you tried to place a duplicate "Product Name" into the system, <a href="inventory_list.php">click here</a>';
        exit();
    }
    // Add this product into the database now by sql query
    $sql = mysqli_query($con, "INSERT INTO products (product_name, price, details, category, stock, letter, supplier,  rating, date_added)
        VALUES('$product_name','$price','$details','$category', '$stock' ,'$letter',' $supplier' , '$rating' now())") or die (mysqli_error());        
     $pid = mysqli_insert_id($con);    
    // Place image in the folder
        $newname = "$pid.jpg";
        move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileField']['tmp_name'], "../inventory_images/$newname"); //_FILES is a global var
    
    header("location: inventory_list.php"); //auto refresh, and it wont try to re add the item

I have a Feedback form that I use to get peoples input. So far it works But I have 2 Problems

Here is the Code:
Code: [Select]
<?php
include "includes/config.php";
$date   = date('jS \of F  h:i A');



$sql="INSERT INTO news (name, email, comments, date)
VALUES
('$_POST[Name]', '$_POST[email]', '$_POST[comments]', '$date')";

header( 'Location: thanks.php' );

mysql_close($con)
?>
I'm making a VB.net Feedback form and I want to imput like this

http://mysite.com/feedback.php?name=Mike&email=test@test.net&comments=comment&date=20th of April  12:30 AM

But so far from my testing it doesn't register the values and says that there is a Duplicate value for email ".

I'd like it to register values somehow and if there is a duplicate email entered then have it update it or write over it.

Any help appreciated,
Thanks!

Been working on a xhtml website for university. Wanted to add a place where artists for hendohiphopshow.com could submit music. Did some research and came up with 'some' code. Not sure if it is close, or completely off. I have NO php experience. So any input/help would be a major help.

I have a form which people can submit information to and then creates a unique ID number.  I then echo the form results onto another page.  I also want to use the unique id within a link however it echos every id in the database and not just the unique id of the newly submitted form.

For example, on 100th submit:

For Submit: hello my name is Tom.

Echo:          $comment      hello my name is Tom.
                   $id                 1009998979695949392919089.................

Can anyone advise how I can get it so echo just the id number which refers to this submission. IE "hello my name is Tom"

hi i hv a form to submit on this url

http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search

and in my html
<form method="GET" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" name="searchForm">
// my code
</form>

// i also tried 
//http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search&
// but did not helped

now problem is i wants to go that URL so after submit it should look a like this as i am loading search page with action.
http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search&searchstring=word

but it keeps me redirecting to
http://localhost/site/index.php?searchstring=word

how can i make it work so it will goto this URL
http://localhost/site/index.php?action=search&searchstring=word

Thanks for help.

I am fairly new to PHP forms so I am trying to adapt an example that I found online. Right now it IS functioning... showing a error message OR showing a success message and sending all the form information to my email account.

I would like to edit it to redirect to a specific page if it has an error (http://www.mosaleen.com/contact_error.html) and to another if it sends successfully (http://www.mosaleen.com/thankyou_email.html)

I am a bit confused by how the script is looped at the end. However, if I delete out that last few lines of coding, the form stops working.

I am attaching the code below. Keep in mind that I am a newbie!

I'm a bit new to PHP and I'm getting my feet wet with mvc with code igniter. I'm having a bit of trouble with my view accessing a function from my controller. If anyone has seen CodeIgniter from Scratch Day 4, it's that tutorial - i've created an email newsletter signup.   In my my view (newsletter.php), my submit button is not working and isn't able to access a function from my controller (email.php). The inaccessible function is called function send(). Instead, I get a 404 error. I'll post the code from both the view and controller, but I highly suspect the error is contained within the view because my controller loads the view, but my view can't call a function from the controller. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.   Here's the code from my view (newsletter.php):   <html lang='en'>

Hello everyone, this is my first post here! My question covers a PHP, SQL, and HTML so I apologise if this isn't the appropriate section to post this message.

Outline to my problem: A user can search my database for a variety of events, which are then listed on a results form. Next to each result I have an option to add this event to the users personal area as a 'saved event' for future reference. Currently I have a solution whereby an HTML form sends an action to '#', inserts the event ID and member ID into the 'savedevent' table via a PHP/SQL function. The page then displays 'event added'. THIS WORKS.

However, if the user navigates away from the page, and then back to it again, the PHP script is obviously run again, ie- a 'resend data' dialog box is displayed to the user, which I really don't want.

This website:http://www.bandsintown.com/event/3988178-nme-awards-tour-2011-london-united-kingdom-live-at-o2-academy-brixton-on-february-19-2011 achieves exactly what I am trying to do with the 'attending' button, but I cannot figure out how they accomplish this.

Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
