I am starting to build out a class to handle forms. I want to be able to add and edit data in some cases and just add data in other cases. Also want to do some ajax stuff to prevent from having to reload the pages in certain cases. I would like to view how some other form classes work so I can model mine to what I like about others but suit my needs. I was wondering if anyone has worked with any preexisting form classes that they could recommend. I know libraries like zend and so on have these built in and wasnt sure if anyone liked any one specifically and why.

ok i have a questions i making a form so when users sign up to my website they we have an account page and in the account page the will have some more fields they need to filll in which i would use INSERT to put the things inside my db but what if they want to update there account should i use  UPDATE

i need a form that is hidden until the user clicks a button on a calendar only Then the form will be visible and have a field for the day that way pressed on submit the form would go back to being invisible. not sure how to implement this can anyone help

I need someone that is really good with php forms, looking for major help.

Hello,

I just assembly a form and for styling it I am using CSS in an external file. Problem is that IE8 and I don't know about 7  (in IE9 is ok) it doesn't show the styling inside the form... My structure is something like this:
(in any other situation my css styling is displayed normally)
Code: [Select]
<form>
<span class="myclass">

</span>
</form>Is there any fix for it?

Thank you

Hi there,

I'm new to php/MySQL.

Just wondering how to create a multipage form with a back, save and submit button. Also, how do you stored the form data into the datebase and how do you display a list of submitted forms by the user to the user.

We have this form that customers can make their own contact forms, and then it gets inserted to the database.
We can show the forms with no problems, the problem lies when someone hits submit, how do I echo out the values of the form when I'm not sure what the input name or id is going to be?

This sample form generated this code
Code: [Select]
<div class="element">
<label id="label-element-3" class="label" style="color:#4DBCE9;font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:normal;">
<span class="labelelementvalue">Email</span>
<span class="required">*</span></label>
<div class="errormessage" id="errormessage-element-3"></div>
<div class="option-container">
<input class="af-inputtext af-email af-formvalue  " type="text" name="element-3" id="element-3" value="" style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:0.8em;font-weight:normal;width:260px;border-style:solid; border-color:#dcdcdc;-moz-border-radius:5px;-khtml-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;border-radius:5px;border-width:1px;padding:5px;"></div>
</div>
<div class="element">
<label id="label-element-4" class="label" style="color:#4DBCE9;font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:normal;">
<span class="labelelementvalue">Textarea</span></label>
<div class="errormessage" id="errormessage-element-4"></div>
<div class="option-container">
<textarea class="af-textarea af-formvalue  " name="element-4" id="element-4" style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:0.8em;font-weight:normal;width:300px;border-style:solid; border-color:#dcdcdc;-moz-border-radius:5px;-khtml-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;border-radius:5px;border-width:1px;padding:5px;" rows="6"></textarea></div>
</div>
<div class="element">
</div>

If you notice, each input type is named "element-" with a number afterwards.

So each input could be like "element-4", "element-21", and so forth.

How would I post those values of the input fields when they are automatically named?

Thanks in advance

I am attempting to create a login page, but my script is giving errors in relation to the forms.

Involved PHP:
Code: [Select]
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);

if ($_POST['submit']=='Login')
{
$md5pass = md5($_POST['password']);
$sql = "SELECT id,username FROM members WHERE
            username = '$username' AND
            password = '$md5pass'";

//etc etc...

Involved HTML:
Code: [Select]
<form id="f6" action="" method="post" onsubmit="return weCheckForm(this)">
<fieldset id="e6" class="cc32">
<label id="e5" class="cc33" for="e4">
Username
</label>
<input id="e4" class="cc34" type="text" name="username" title="username" size="23"><br>
<label id="e3" class="cc33" for="e2">
Password
</label>
<input id="e2" class="cc34" type="password" name="password" title="password" size="23"><br>
<input id="e1" class="cc35" type="submit" title="submit" value="Login">
</fieldset>
</form>

Errors received:
Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\(etc etc...) on line 4
Notice: Undefined index: submit in C:\(etc etc...) on line 6

Now I know that the problem is username and submit are undefined. However, I do not know how to define them in relation to the forms.
