Greeting,
I tried to simplify the script as much as possible to make it understandable and here is my question.

 

<?php
// DELETE FILES
$submit_file = $_POST['submit_file'];
echo $filename = $_POST['filename'];
if ($submit_file == '1') {
  unlink($filename);
} else {
}

if($reload == 2) {
	INSERT INTO..
}
else if ($reload > 2) {
	UPDATE ...
} else {}

?>

// BEGIN OF THE FORM
<form action="index.php?lg=<?php echo $lng; ?>&c=new_document" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

// INPUT TEKST AND OTHERS
<input type="text" class="form-control form-control-lg" style="width: 40%;" id="sn_text_page" name="sn_text_page" value="<?php echo $text_page; ?>">

for ($i = 0; $i < count($files); $i++) {
  $image = $files[$i];
 ?>
<div class="col p-3">
<?php

  if ($reload == '1') {
  } else if ($reload > '1') {
    echo '<img class="img-fluid img-thumbnail shadow" src="' . $image . '" alt="" />' . '<small class="font-weight-bold">' . basename($image) . '</small><br /><br />';

?>
// DELETE ONE SELECTED FILE

<input type="hidden" name="filename" value="<?php echo $image; ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="sn_text_id" value="<?php echo $text_id; ?>">

<?php }}?>

</form> // END OF FORM

I would like to delete the file I selected with "submit_file" and at the same time input the texts with UPDATE.
Thanks in advance,

So I posted something like this a while ago but i didn't get any particularly good answers so I redid it. this is what I have now. 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!

I am new to php and I thought it best to start by using a CMS and creating small functions to extend it's functionality. I will start by explaining the situation around what I want to do. I am trying to create a module for the drupal CMS. The module I am trying to create I am creating for my girlfriends son (for when it is complete he will be the one maintaining it through the web interface). He wants a game server (WOW) and a web site that once they create an account on the web site it will create an account on the game server as well. If I understand the way this works correctly for this game server to work you need a logon database and then a character and world database for each realm you have. With that basically what happens is you go to the drupal web site and click create account, input a username, email address and password and agree to terms of service. Then drupal does some checks and writes the information to the drupal database and with the module I creating it will write to the logon database as well. I am working on the admin forms so you can edit how many realms the server has the sql statement to login to the game and add and delete realms. I have been looking at an example of a form for drupal here http://drupal.org/node/717746 but have converted it to my purpose and it brings up some questions here is what I have so far:

If max_realms is set to a large number the way I see it you would have to hard code everything into the php file. Instead of that could you not remove from the if(isset) and have it that when they click on the add realm button check to make sure the textfield contains a number if it doesn't return an error if it does contain a number make sure it is not greater then max_realms and then use a start count and adding that number to all the arrays for that realm and validate all the information is what you expect. I think this would work for adding realms, I think where the problem would come in is in deleting realms (or it could be me over thinking it). For example if you have max_realms set to 4 you could have 5 the one default one that can't be deleted plus 4 others and the ones that can be deleted would be called realm1 - realm4 if you delete the first 2 you would minus count by 2 so if you clicked add realm again it would try and create realm3 which already exists. Is there another way on doing this that you could create the realms and delete them and it not try to add realms with the same array name?

Anyways, I'm trying to get this submit form button to work. This is my first experience trying to alter PHP without direct instructions on what to do and type. My HTML and PHP for the form is below, or you can see it live at http://www.pricepcrepair.com/survey

Dear All

I have a form say i have selected Volva from drop down box . So without clicking on submit button  when i move to next field that is `<input>` the value that is volva should get store in php variable

<html>
<body>

<form action="">
<select name="cars">
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="fiat">Fiat</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

I have two pages. one is insert_events.php and the other is veiw_events.
In insert_events i have a form which have a submit button.
I want when i click on the submit button, it redirects me to the view_events.php page showing the events.

Any idea about this problem will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a form on my page.

<form id="advanced_search" name="advanced_search" method="POST" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">

</form>

Form submits with a regular button
<input type="submit" name="advSearch" id="advSearch" value="Search" />

And i have a detector to see where submit button has been clicked on my next page:
if(isset($_POST['advSearch'])) {
    echo "Button was clicked";
}

However, I wanted a custom button for better styling and control.
So i replaced my regular button with this now which uses javascript to submit the form.

<a class="button" href="javascript:document.advanced_search.submit()" name="advSearch" id="advSearch"><span>Search</span></a>

Now the isset($_POST) is not working anymore.
Can anyone help please??

Thanks!

I have two pages one is db.php and another is form.php.

In form.php i have created a form which contains different fields and a submit button.
But i want to write the queries in db.php.

And when i click on the submit button the insert query in db.php should be executed and insert data in database but the focus remains on form.php.

How can i do this???
 Any Idea?

Hope someone can help put with this - I have inherited a site and am trying to modify some PHP that I am unfamiliar with. I have gotten so far with it, but still have a problem with it.   Its a page on an online store offering optional extras depending on the product. The products are furniture, so and there was an option to buy cushions for some. The change I am trying to make is to have an option for two different sizes of cushion depending on the product.   So there was a field 'cushions' in the product table, and a page 'accessories.php' that offered the option to add cushions.   I have added a new field 'cushions2' and a new page 'accessories2.php' to cover the new size of cushions.   The site is here, with this example product:   http://www.lloydloom...oduct.php?id=32   If you click 'Add to cart' the next page offers you the option to add custom paintwork.   If you enter something there, and click on 'Add colour to order' it works - i.e. the next page is the one offering the cushions.   But if you just click on 'No thank you, proceed with order' it just reloads the page - basically the URL isn't being puled through as it should be.   On that page the PHP at the top of the page looks like this:  

<?php

 session_start();

Hello all,   I am an absolute beginner when it comes to PHP and Javascript but wanted a simple contact form for my website. I used the PHP code from one source and the Javascript validator code from another source and all is working fine except for one very annoying bug: I have to press the Submit button twice in order for the form to send the email. I've found that if the validator is already triggered, however, I only need to press the button once for it to submit. I have scoured the internet for a solution to this problem but am realizing this must be a hangup in the particular code I'm using and I'm just not experienced enough to troubleshoot it.   A little help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.   Here's the client side code (truncated to only show relevant parts):

<html>
<head>
<script src="js/gen_validatorv4.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
</head>
 
<body>
<form method="post" action="contact.php" name="contactform">
    <div class="row collapse-at-2 half">
<div class="6u">
<input name="name" placeholder="Name" type="text" />
</div>
<div class="6u">
<input name="email" placeholder="Email" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="row half">
<div class="12u">
<textarea name="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row half">
<div class="12u">
<ul class="actions">
<li><input type="submit" value="Send Message" /></li>
<li><input type="reset" value="Clear form" /></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var myformValidator = new Validator("contactform");
myformValidator.addValidation("name","req",
        "Please provide your name.");
myformValidator.addValidation("email","req",
        "Please provide your email.");
myformValidator.addValidation("message","req",
        "Please enter your message.");
myformValidator.addValidation("email","email",
        "Please enter a valid email address.");
</script>
</body>
</html>

 

I have posted this problem in the PHP section but someone suggested I take it here because the hangup is likely in the JS. I have tried removing the JS validator with varying results; sometimes the form still requires double-clicking and sometimes it works fine. Please see my original post below:

I'm developing a form which is essentially a simple set of radio buttons. Conceptually, it is like this:   Please select a theme from the list: o  Black o  Blue o  Red   [Submit]  [Reset]   I'm actually showing a slideshow of images showing the appearance of each of the themes in a slideshow that only shows one image at a time. I want my users to click on the image that represents the theme they want and, ideally, not have to click on the Submit button at all.   Then I will save the name of the theme they chose in a cookie (if cookies are enabled).   Many years ago, I dabbled in things like CGI and I have a vague recollection, possibly faulty, that it's not difficult to make a form that has only one set of radio buttons treat the selection of one of the radio buttons as a Submit. I don't remember how to do it though.   Can anyone advise me on whether it is indeed possible and, if it is, how I make the selection of the radio button cause the form to be submitted?
