PHP - Multiple Inputs And Submits In A Form
I generated a table from the database, and at the end of each row there are two submits, one for save and another for delete. The values are generated as either text and select box input.
Right now, I have all the submits named differently (ends a number), so I can loop through all available submits based on the number to check which row needs to be updated, and to retrieve the values during form processing, then only perform the query. I have also hidden input in each row to send the "primary key" that is used during query. Is there a better approach than to have so many different names for the buttons, not having to loop through all of them each time, and still keep a similar layout? I'm trying to avoid anything else than PHP. The table looks something like: col1____| col2_______| col3____|__________________ txt input | select input | txt input |save bttn | delete bttn txt input | select input | txt input |save bttn | delete bttn Similar Tutorialshave a form with three list/menu items. Each one when selected acts a filter. I would like to submit the form when the user changes the value on each list.menu: I have tried adding an onchange="this.form.submit()" command on each list/menu but only the first one works. I guess the form only recognises one submit item. Is there a way to get the form to submit on each of the three list/menu items ? Many thanks, code ... <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <label>Team <select name="myTeam" id="myTeam" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <?php do { ?> <option value="<?php echo $row_myTeam['title']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_myTeam['title'], $_POST['myTeam']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_myTeam['title']?></option> <?php } while ($row_myTeam = mysql_fetch_assoc($myTeam)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($myTeam); if($rows > 0) { mysql_data_seek($myTeam, 0); $row_myTeam = mysql_fetch_assoc($myTeam); } ?> </select> </label> <label>Qct <select name="myQCT" id="myQCT" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <?php do { ?> <option value="<?php echo $row_chooseQCT['name']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_chooseQCT['name'], $_POST['myQCT']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_chooseQCT['name']?></option> <?php } while ($row_chooseQCT = mysql_fetch_assoc($chooseQCT)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($chooseQCT); if($rows > 0) { mysql_data_seek($chooseQCT, 0); $row_chooseQCT = mysql_fetch_assoc($chooseQCT); } ?> </select> </label> <label>Year <select name="myYear" id="myYear" onchange="this.form.submit()"> <?php do { ?> <option value="<?php echo $row_myYear['year']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_myYear['year'], $_POST['myYear']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_myYear['year']?></option> <?php } while ($row_myYear = mysql_fetch_assoc($myYear)); $rows = mysql_num_rows($myYear); if($rows > 0) { mysql_data_seek($myYear, 0); $row_myYear = mysql_fetch_assoc($myYear); } ?> </select> </label> </form> </body> Hello,
I'm developing one website for a real-estate agency. I have a html form that is used to submit property details, There is multiple form inputs and also I need to upload multiple property images using Dropzone JS multiple image upload. Here I'm validating form inputs using jQuery Validation library. Validation works perfect and data Is being to posted to php file called submit_property_data.php. But when I implement the Dropzone JS image upload its not working.
JS File (property-submit.js)
$('document').ready(function() { $("#notification-property").hide(); /* handling form validation */ $("#property-form").validate({ rules: { prop_title: "required", prop_price: { required: true, digits: true }, prop_area: { required: true, digits: true }, prop_address: "required", prop_message: { required: true, minlength: 10, maxlength: 2000 }, prop_owner_name: "required", prop_owner_email: { required: true, email: true }, prop_owner_phone: { required: true, digits: true }, }, messages: { 'prop_title': { required: "Please enter title for your property" }, prop_price: { required: "Please enter price of your property", digits: "Please enter price in digits (AED)" }, prop_area: "Please enter Sqft of your property", prop_address: "Please enter address of your property", prop_message: { required: "Please enter detailed Information", minlength: "Please enter something about your property in 50 - 20000 characters", maxlength: "Please enter something about your property in 50 - 20000 characters" }, prop_owner_name: "Please enter your name", prop_owner_email: { required: "Please enter your email address", email: "Please enter valid email address" }, prop_owner_phone: { required: "Please enter your phone number", digits: "Please enter valid phone number" }, }, submitHandler: submitPropertyForm }); /* Handling login functionality */ function submitPropertyForm() { var data = $("#property-form").serialize(); $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: 'submit_property_data.php', data: data, beforeSend: function() { $("#submit-button").html('<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-transfer"></span> Submiting ...'); }, success: function(response) { if (response == "ok") { console.log(1); document.getElementById("property-form").reset(); $("#notification-property").html('<b> ' + response + ' !</b>').show(); //setTimeout(' window.location.href = "dashboard.php"; ',4000); } else { $("#notification-property").fadeIn(1000, function() { $("#notification-property").html('<b>' + response + ' !</b>').fadeOut(); $("#submit-button").html(' Send'); }); } }, complete:function(){ $('body, html').animate({scrollTop:$('form').offset().top}, 'slow'); } }); return false; } $("#submit-button").bind('click', function() { if ( $("#property-form").valid() ) { submitPropertyForm(); } else { console.log('form invalid'); } }) Dropzone.autoDiscover = false; $(function () { $("div#myDropzone").dropzone({ url: 'submit_property_data.php', addRemoveLinks: true, maxFiles:11, uploadMultiple: true, autoProcessQueue: false, parallelUploads: 10, init: function () { var myDropzone = this; // Update selector to match your button $("#submit-button").click(function (e) { e.preventDefault(); myDropzone.processQueue(); }); this.on('sending', function(file, xhr, formData) { // Append all form inputs to the formData Dropzone will POST var data = $('#property-form').serializeArray(); $.each(data, function(key, el) { formData.append(el.name, el.value); }); }); this.on("success", function(file, responseText) { alert(responseText); }); }, }); }); });

What I actually need ?
I need to validate the form inputs first & upload the images once the form is valid also I need to post all the inputs to my php file called submit_property_data.php Also I need the image inputs to store into my database.
Hello, I am having an issue where PHP nulls the donation amount after multiple form submits. Here is a synopsis of what is happening. 1: User enters donation amount and clicks 'submit' 2: Is taken to a confirmation page where they must agree to terms 3: User fails to agree to the terms, the page is reloaded with an error message, and the donation amount is set to null I want to make the donation amount display despite multiple confirm page reloads. How would I do this? Here is the site to test it yourself. Ignore the steamid input and check "do not change my rank upon donation" to test. http://forums.stgdarkrp.org/donate2/check.php Please note: If you use IE, the formatting is messed up, that is a problem I will look into later Hey guys, im new to php and have become stuck with having more than one html form/submit that will relays to another piece of code to view something At the moment my first form works but once i submit my second form it relays back to the first form how can i prevent this so i can have many submit forms on one php page? Thanks Code: [Select] <?php $dbname = $_POST['dbname']; $tblname = $_POST['tblname']; checksubmit( $dbname); function checksubmit( $dbname){ if(isset($_POST['enter'])) { checkform( $dbname); } else { page1( $dbname); } } function checkform ($dbname){ if(empty($_POST['dbname'])){ echo 'fill out database name'; } else page2( $dbname ); } function page1( $dbname){ echo " <form method='post' action=''> <table> <tr> <td>Database name:</td><td><input type='text' name='dbname' /></td> </tr><tr> <td colspan='2' align='right'><input type='submit' name='enter' value='enter' /></td> </tr> </table> </form> "; } function page2( $dbname ){ echo " <form method='post' action=''> <table> <tr> <td>Table Name:</td><td><input type='text' name='tblname' /></td> </tr><tr> <td colspan='2' align='right'><input type='submit' name='return' value='return' /></td> </tr> </table> </form> "; if(isset($_POST['return'])) { page3( $dbname ); } } function page3( $dbname ) { echo 'I want to make it here'; } ?> Hello, I've looked around at some previous posts and can't seem to get them to work for me. I'm occasionally receiving blank emails from my contact form, i.e. Name: Email: Subject: Message: with no fields filled out. No doubt the cause is my form. It has validation, and I'm aware that with JS turned off, the validation won't work, but I find it hard to believe that people are just submitting blank forms, I'm confused, and am worried that I'm getting emails and not realizing it!

It takes clicking the reply three times before it changes changes the form but then after that initial session of reply button clicks it only takes two which is what I want. This is the last thing on my forum (at least till I find some other bug :p) and I need it fixed but I can't figure it out. IT\t wouldn't be a huge issue but the thing is that the first reply you make someone would fill it all in and then press reply then they would lose all their stuff and have to start over before it was submitted, Help please! thanks!

When I have added text with the form to the MySQL database... 2. ... and I have clicked on "page reload" in Firefox to reload the page... 3. ... then the before submitted text gets submitted again to the MySQL database. So basically, add text with the form to the MySQL database, reload the page in Firefox, and the before added text will get submitted to the MySQL database again. My Question Is: What is the proper way to avoid this? Edited by glassfish, 06 October 2014 - 10:18 AM. How is it possible, in PHP, to display an error message next to a form input text field if a user is attempting to submit a form with empty fields? Moreover, how is it possible to remove the same error message when the user fills in the input field with the required data and/or refreshes the page? I have 2 files that I am working with: application.php and process.php.
application.php mainly has the HTML of the form. I am very new to learning PHP (I started learning it last week) and I have been searching for hours for a clear answer. I have already tried different methods for generating the error message including: using empty(), !isset, $_POST["name"] = "", etc, and have tried using session_start();, $row, echo, print, and other variables to try and display error message on the page, and I have tried using unset();, and = null, to try and remove the error message once the input field has been filled but all to no avail. Either the method I try only half works, or nothing works, and I cannot pinpoint which is the part that is not working. I only have 2 files to work with, and as an example of what I want to do is:
1. If the first name field is empty when the user clicks submit, an error message should appear next to the input. Is this possible with PHP? I have a html form that submits to another website. Everything works fine in firefox and chrome however the data is duplicated in IE. Is there some quirk in IE when submitting a form to a different website? I have an existing GET form that I use and want to write to a MYSQL table everytime a user uses that form. Code: [Select] <FORM ACTION="https://someurl.com" METHOD=GET> Would the easiest to be a javascript function that uses the onclick event? What would be the best way to continue to pass the user along while capturing data and writing that to a MYSQL table. Thanks! I am echoing out 2 radio input fields in a foreach statement. I would like to have the first option checked in all the radio input fields that gets echoed out.
But for some reason it marks the radio input field "checked" all the way in the bottom. (The last one)
How can I make it so that every input field that gets echoed out will be marked checked?

I'm working on an online php program that can have a few hundred form inputs. Mainly just numbers from 1 to 50,000 depending on the field. I wanted to use cookies so the user can keep the data entered on their browser but i found out the hard way that the browsers have a limitation that I've exceeded. Does anyone have any ideas? What is the best way to force a user to input numeric value into a form, with the following condition: Either the number is an integer (positive or negative or zero), or non integer but limited to the one digit behind the dot (e.g. 1.2 is valid, but 1.21 is not)? I know I can test it in the server side, but I prefer it to be on the form side. Can it be in the HTML level? Hi, I'm putting together a database that once logged in, a user is able to insert, update and delete records via html forms. The login is secured using mysql_real_escape_string, but I'm wondering should I do the same for all form elements that pass data to the db? There are a wide range of inputs, from numeric, alphanumeric, dates and more. I'd appreciate your feedback. Regards, James I don't have any PHP skills at all. In fact I'm probably looking for a script that can help accomplish what I'm asking about. Regardless, I'm having a hard time getting any answers or solutions to this. I would like to make a web form that collects cc#'s from my customers that is PCI Compliant in as simple a manner as possible. 99% of the time my clients are not being charged at all, and the cc is used simply to ensure a service is confirmed. If they were to be charged, I would have to do that manually as no payment gateways currently deposit into banks in the country I am in. One thought I had would be if I could have the cc# either split, or broken up into separate fields and emailed separately. I am told this is PCI Compliant. I would also be fine with the cc# being split between database and email. I know this is possible w/ zen cart, but I have been unable to find any scripts that do this and don't have a need for a shopping cart addition to my site. But, I am aware that zen cart and other shopping cart add ons have options for X's to cover a bunch of numbers in the middle of the string and write that directly to the database. One thing that is a necessity is that the majority of the data input to the form be emailed. So, I'm basically hoping to protect the cc data in the simplest way possible, which I thought would be to break it up. I'll be trashing the cc #'s once I get them. I have no need to file them. I do have a SSL on my server. I am completely open to other suggestions. Is something like this, or another option a possibility? My skills are rudimentary. I taught myself to write some html and also use Dreamweaver to subsidize for what I can't code myself. I apologize if this should be in one of the other forums. Hello, I am very very new to PHP and have created a form that changes depending on a selection option. The website is here http://www.rmdesignstudio.com.au/wraptinprint/quotes.php and the PHP is all on the quotes.php page. The form sends to the email but when you fill in one form (example: Business Cards) the form sends, but along with all the entered fields the email also includes all the fields in all the hidden forms that werent filled in. I believe it is because they are drop down boxes and it is sending the first option in the list which happens to be "-----Please Select-----" Is there something I should be doing to my selection input field for this not to show up? Otherwise is there something I need to add to my PHP so it checks for the fields being filled in? I dont know how to add my code to this post, so if you could either show me or view my code via view source that would be awesome. Hello, I am doing a php registration form, file name is register.php Code: [Select] <?php include("config.php"); $submit = strip_tags($_POST['submit']); $username = strip_tags($_POST['user_box']); $password = md5(strip_tags($_POST['pass_box'])); $cpassword = md5(strip_tags($_POST['c_pass_box'])); $email = strip_tags($_POST['email_box']); $mobile = $_POST['mobile_box']; $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $date = date('Y-m-d'); $time = date('h-i-s'); $i = 0; $checkusername = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE username='$username'")); $checkemail = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email'")); /* Validating username field */ if($username != NULL) { if (strlen($username) > 15 || strlen($username) < 6) { echo "<p>Username must be in range of 6 to 15 Characters.</p>"; } else { //check in DB if ($checkusername == 1) { echo "<p>Username already exist in database.</p>"; } else { $i++; } } } else { echo "<p>Username cannot be Blank</p>"; } /* ----------validating password field---------- */ if ($password != "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" || $cpassword != "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e") { if ($password == $cpassword) { if (strlen($password) > 16 && strlen($password) < 4) { echo "<p>password must be in range of 4 to 16 Characters.</p>"; } else { $i++; } } else { echo "<p>Passwords do not match.</p>"; } } else { echo "<p>Password cannot be empty</p>"; } /* ----------Validating Passwords End---------- */ /* ----------Validating Email field Starts---------- */ if($email != NULL) { if($checkemail == 1) { echo "<p>Email already exist.</p>"; } else { $i++; } } else { echo "<p>Email field cannot be empty.</p>"; } /* ----------Validating Email fiend ends---------- */ /* ----------Validating Email field Starts---------- */ if($mobile != NULL) { if(strlen($mobile) >10) { echo "<p>Mobile cannot be more than 10 digits long</p>"; } else { $i++; } } else { echo "<p>Mobile field cannot be empty.</p>"; } /* ----------Validating Email fiend ends---------- */ if ($i == 4) { mysql_query("INSERT INTO members (username, password, email, mobile, ip, date, time) VALUES ('$username', '$cpassword', '$email', '$mobile', '$ip', '$date', '$time')"); echo "<p>Successful Registration Done !</p>"; } ?> <!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> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action=""> <table width="576" height="229" border="0"> <tr> <td width="139">Username :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="user_box"></label> <input type="text" name="user_box" id="user_box" size="30" height="30" /> (Between 6 to 15 Characters)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="pass_box"></label> <input type="password" name="pass_box" id="pass_box" size="30" height="30" /> (Between 4 to 16 Characters)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Confirm Password :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="c_pass_box"></label> <input type="password" name="c_pass_box" id="c_pass_box" size="30" height="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email Address :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="email_box"></label> <input type="text" name="email_box" id="email_box" size="30" height="30" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Mobile No. :</td> <td colspan="2"><label for="mobile_box"></label> <input type="text" name="mobile_box" id="mobile_box" size="30" height="30" /> (10 Characters)</td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td width="171"><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /></td> <td width="252"><input type="reset" name="button2" id="button2" value="Reset" /></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> When I load page, it shows following errors before Username cannot be Blank Password cannot be empty Email field cannot be empty. Mobile field cannot be empty. What I want is on loading page i.e. before giving any inputs, it should not show any errors. Need help I read ages ago (and checked to see if it's true, it was and given how it works, it must still be) the end user can alter the value of any form field, using Firebug or similar, before submitting it. Two things I've figured out today: 1) a form input doesn't need a value - doesn't even need the attribute - if you're only checking whether the POST var isset and the actual value isn't important 2) Although it appears not to matter in the example I'm working on now, if the script doesn't check what the value is, and potentially sanitise it, the user could submit the form with any value, true, false, malicious, idk... So my question is: is this one of the ways malicious bad things can happen and do I *have to* specify a value, not because the script won't work without it, it does, but because in the real world it opens a security door if I don't check for malicious script by saying "if value not as expected, script has to die". Having formulated the question properly and thought about it I can't imagine simply making a form, without obvious connections to anything important, could be a problem in the way I'm asking about but I asked it now so Edited by appobs, 03 July 2014 - 12:08 PM. |
