PHP - Php Form In Wordpress Wysiwyg - Select Onchange This.form.submit Error

Hi.  Pretty straight forward I guess but as the name suggests am a newbie.  I have a form that requires the user to enter certain parameters.  If the values are blank it submits to itself and loads the error messages.  What I want to do is create PHP code that submits the form to a different url.  What I thought was create two forms (the second with hidden fields replicating the first form), each form having a different url in the action"" code.  What I cant work out is the PHP IF ELSE code to submit form 2 if Form1 is is validated correctly.  This is the PHP code relevant to the form validation.  Help?

<?php
      //If form was submitted
      if ($_POST['submitted']==1) {
          $errormsg = ""; //Initialize errors
          if ($_POST[width]){
             $title = $_POST[width]; //If title was entered
          }
          else{
             $errormsg = "Please enter width";
          }
          if ($_POST[drop]){
             $textentry = $_POST[drop]; //If comment was entered
          }
          else{
             if ($errormsg){ //If there is already an error, add next error
                $errormsg = $errormsg . " & content";
             }else{
                $errormsg = "Please enter drop";
             }
          }
      }

      if ($errormsg){ //If any errors display them
          echo "<div class=\"box red\">$errormsg</div>";
      }

      //If all fields present
      if ($title && $textentry){
         //Do something
          
echo 'THIS IS WHERE I WANT THE CODE TO SUBMIT FORM 2 or SUBMIT FORM 1 TO A DIFFERENT URL';
      }   
      ?>

Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you.

Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one.

FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you:

The HTML with the PHP codes:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {

//Assigning variables to elements
$first = htmlentities($_POST['first']);
$last = htmlentities($_POST['last']);
$sub = htmlentities($_POST['subject']);
$email = htmlentities($_POST['email']);
$web = htmlentities($_POST['website']);
$heard = htmlentities($_POST['heard']);
$comment = htmlentities($_POST['message']);
$cap = htmlentities($_POST['captcha']);

//Declaring the email address with body content
$to = 'alithebestofall2010@gmail.com';
$body ="First name: '$first' \n\n Last name: '$last' \n\n Subject: '$sub' \n\n Email: '$email' \n\n Website: '$web' \n\n Heard from us: '$heard' \n\n Comments: '$comment'";

//Validate the forms
if (empty($first) || empty($last) || empty($sub) || empty($email) || empty($comment) || empty($cap)) {
echo '<p class="error">Required fields must be filled!</p>';
header ('refresh= 3; url= index.php');
return false;

} 
elseif (filter_var($first, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) || filter_var($last, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) {
echo '<p class="error">You cannot enter a number as either the first or last name!</p>';
return false;
} 
elseif (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo '<p class="error">Incorrect email address!</p>';
return false;
}
elseif (!($cap === '12')){
echo '<p class="error">Invalid captcha, try again!</p>';
return false;
}
else {
mail ($to, $sub, $body);
echo '<p class="success">Thank you for contacting us!</p>';
}
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
<p>Your first name: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="first" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Paul"/></p>

<p>Your last name: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="last" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Smith"/></p>

<p>Subject: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="subject" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Contact"/></p>

<p>Your email address: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Ex: example@xxx.com"/></p>

<p>Website:</p>
<p><input type="text" name="website" size="40" placeholder="Ex: http//:google.com"/></p>

<p>Where you have heard us?: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><select name="heard">
<option>Internet</option>
<option>Newspapers</option>
<option>Friends or relatives</option>
<option>Others</option>
</select></p>

<p>Your message: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><textarea cols="75" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p>

<p>Are you human? Sum this please: 5 + 7 = ?: <span class="required">*</span></p></p>
<p><input type="text" name="captcha" size="10"/></p>

<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button"/></p>
</form>

SECOND PROBLEM:If a user has made a mistake, he gets the error message so that he can correct! However, when a mistake in the form occurs, all the data the user has entered are disappeared! I want the data to keep appearing so that the user does not start over again to fill the form.

THIRD: When the erro message is displayed to notify the user that he made a mistake when submitting the form, the message is displaying on the top of the page. I want it to appear below each respective field. How to do that? In JQuery it is simple, but in PHP, I am confusing!

Hi, I have built a custom php program for a client which takes information submitted in a html form and calculates a persons bmi. I have tested and it works fine, this is in one page (one file). My problem is I have tried to insert it in to wordpress using both shortcodes and php tag plugins (you can't insert php in to posts and pages as standard on wordpress) and I can't get it to work.   The closest I've got is using a php tag plugin that uses shortcodes to replace <?php & ?> but when I submit, it just reloads the page and form rather than showing the result. as I've said it works fine outside of wordpress.  :-\

Alright, I am struggling to get back into the world of programming. I have background in C++ and Javascript, but this was 7 years ago. I am now trying to develop a plugin for a wordpress website I manage and am having a simple problem. It seems like it is at least.

Here is what I need to accomplish. I am designing a plugin that generates a random string of text on a wordpress page. It uses a shortcode to return a form onto the page where it is placed. The form has 3 elements, a textbox, a dropdown list, and a submit button. I can do all of this so far.

Here is where I am a bit lost. When the submit button is pressed, I need it to run a function passing the value selected in the dropdown list. I would like this to be contained on the same page. So I am not sure what I need to put in the action="", and my guess is I would use the post method.

The function that generates the text returns a paragraph. So it would function like this...

$paraText = genParagraph($txtType); //txtType would be the drop down value

Currently, I do this and return the value (after slightly more processing). My guess is I have to use the $_POST[] function to somehow return the data into the text box on the page. I am not exactly sure how to achieve this.

Thank you for your help!

Hey phpFreaks, im having some troubles getting my script to work correctly and im also not sure if this issue is in the right section of the forum. but heres what i have going on.
I have a query result that displays a list of images with a checkbox and a couple buttons for edit and delete. everything works fine other than the checkbox stuff. I had it working when i was using a submit button, but i wanted to get rid of that button cuz it was only dealing with the checkboxes. so whats going on when using the checkboxes is that when checked or uncheck it would submit the form. It works to submit but its not submitting any data to the database.

heres what i got for code for this section of checkbox.
Code: [Select]
<?php
echo '<form method="post">';
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
foreach($_POST['id'] as $id){
$value = (isset($_POST['location'][$id]) && $_POST['location'][$id]=="0" ? '0' : '1');
$insert = mysql_query("UPDATE items SET location='$value' WHERE id='$id'") or die('Insert Error: '.mysql_error());
}
}
     $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM items")
or die("Query Failed: ".mysql_error());
$counter = 0;
echo '<div class="specialcontainer">';
 while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
list($id, $item_info, $item_img, $price, $sale, $location) = $row;
if($location == '0'){
$set_checked = 'checked="checked"';
}else{
$set_checked = '';
}
if($counter % 5==0) {
echo '</div>';
echo '<div class="specialcontainer">';
}
echo '<div class="special"><img src="../images/items/'.$item_img.'" width="130" /><br />'.$item_info.'<br />$'.$price.'<br />$'.$sale.'<br />Slide Show: <input type="checkbox" id='.$id.' value="0" name="location['.$id.']" '.$set_checked.'  onchange="this.form.submit()"/><br /><input type="button" value="Edit" name="edit" id="'.$id.'" onclick="window.location.href=\'specials.php?action=edit&id='.$id.'\'"><input type="button" value="Delete" name="Delete" id="'.$id.'" onclick="window.location.href=\'specials.php?action=delete&id='.$id.'\'"><input type="hidden" name="id[]" value='.$id.' /></div>';

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

Hi,
I want to submit a form using ajax ans jquery with two fields input text and file.

Code: [Select]
<script>
$(document).ready(
function()
{


$('#basicinfofrm').ajaxForm(function() {
url: ''+PN+'.php',
type:'POST',
data:'action=yes&'+frmFeilds,
success: function(html)
{ 
 alert(html);

}

    }).submit();
</script>
<form action='' method='post'>
    <label>name</label>
    <input type='text' name='txtname' />
    <input type='file' name  = 'txtfile' />
   <input type='submit' value='save' />
</form>

but is is not working...
can anyone tell me how to?
i don't want to refresh my page
Thanks

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.

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.

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'];

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

I have a form in the follwoing link:
 http://isupportentourage.dyndns.info//CARES/application.htm

I would like to send the inputs to an email address so I have used a php file called sendEmail.php which has the following code:

<?php

$redirectTo = "http://www.yahoo.com";
$to = "fatemeh.elmi@gmail.com";

$subject = "Form Submission";
$headers  = "From:\r\n";

$message = "";
$formFields = array_keys($_POST);

for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($formFields); $i++)
{
   $theField = strip_tags($formFields[$i]);
   $theValue = strip_tags($_POST[$theField]);
   $message .= $theField;
   $message .= " = ";
   $message .= $theValue;
   $message .= "\n";
}

$success = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if ($success)
{
   header("Location: " . $redirectTo);
}
else
{
   echo "An error occurred when sending the email.";
}


?>
Could someone tell me why it is not working at all.
