PHP - Html Versus Php

Hi, I found a tutorial online for a form which used PHP/MySQL and JQuery to submit data. I am making some modifications and the form no-longer submits the data. The problem I have is no errors display so I am not sure where the problem lies. I need to be able to display a success or failure message on the form itself, but this is either not there or not working. The code is below.

Code: [Select]
<form id="ContactForm" action="">
                <p>
                    <label>First Name</label>
                    <input id="FirstName" name="FirstName" class="inplaceError" maxlength="120" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
<span class="error" style="display:none;"></span>
                </p>
                <p>
                    <label>Last Name</label>
                    <input id="LastName" name="LastName" class="inplaceError" maxlength="120" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
<span class="error" style="display:none;"></span>
                </p>
                <p>
                    <label>User Name</label>
                    <input id="UserName" name="UserName" class="inplaceError" maxlength="120" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
<span class="error" style="display:none;"></span>
                </p>
                <p>
                    <label>Email</label>
                    <input id="email" name="email" class="inplaceError" maxlength="120" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
<span class="error" style="display:none;"></span>
                </p>
                <p>
                    <label>Website<span>(optional)</span></label>
                    <input id="website" name="website" class="inplaceError" maxlength="120" type="text" autocomplete="off"/>
                </p>
                <p>
                    <label>Your message<br /> <span>300 characters allowed</span></label>
                    <textarea id="message" name="message" class="inplaceError" cols="6" rows="5" autocomplete="off"></textarea>
<span class="error" style="display:none;"></span>
                </p>
                <p class="submit">
                    <input id="send" type="button" value="Submit"/>
                    <span id="loader" class="loader" style="display:none;"></span>
<span id="success_message" class="success"></span>
                </p>
<input id="newcontact" name="newcontact" type="hidden" value="1"></input>
            </form>

I launched my new website about a month ago.  I switched from one web host to another due to poor hosting performance.  Now I'm running into the same issue again -- poor web hosting performance.   My first web host was Hostgator.  My current web host is AT&T.  I hate the thought of switching to a different web host every month trying to find one that will reliably host my site.  Does anyone here have a reliable web host that they use and would recommend?   My question is relative since what is reliable for a simple web site, may not be reliable for one that is more complex.  For this reason, I can't simply trust web host reviews.   My website isn't overly complicated, but it's more complex than just basic HTML.  It uses a lot of PHP, as well as a MySQL database that only has two small tables.  The website uploads and downloads small text files regularly.  It also sends E-mail attatchments quite often.   Because I just launched, my website isn't getting a ton of traffic -- about 10 users per day.  However, I'm beginning to run into the same problem as before.  My web host's server is starting to show itself as being unreliable.  As with my first web host, it seems as if it may be due to overcrowding on the shared server.   Do any of you run any moderately complex websites?  If so, who do you use for a reliable web host?   I've considered setting up my own server with a LAMP configuration and hosting the site myself.  However, I don't know a lot about Linux or Apache, and so would like to avoid this.  But because the computer would only be hosting my own website, and no one else's, I have to believe that a LAMP setup would be more reliable than a shared server that is overcrowded.   A reliable web host is really what I'm looking for.  But I don't want to keep going down the road of trial and error.  If anyone uses a web host that reliably supports their moderately-complex website, then I would love to hear from you.  I'm sick of my site failing due to server issues.  Like the Duracel commercial says, "It just has to work!"   Please forgive me if you feel that my post doesn't correctly fit the forum category.  I tried to figure out which category best fits this topic, but none of them seemed to be perfectly suitable.   Thank you for your time, as well as for any suggestions.

I know that magic __get and __set are invoked automatically when an object is instantiated, but what about stuff like getName() and setName()

Code: [Select]
class NameClass {
private $_name;
public function getName() {
return $this->_name;
    }
public function setName($value) {
$this->_name = $value;
    }
}

$someName = new NameClass();
$someName->setName('Bob');
echo $someName->getName();
1. Could the setName() and getName() just as easily be named something generic like:

hotName()
coldName()

Code: [Select]
class NameClass {
private $_name;
public function hotName() {
return $this->_name;
    }
public function coldName($value) {
$this->_name = $value;
    }
}

$someName = new NameClass();
$someName->coldName('Bob');
echo $someName->hotName();
2. Also, the setName() and getName() methods must be called manually, right? Unless they are manually called, they just sit there, do nothing, am I correct?

Thanks

How can I make index.php?view=cart work in place of cart.php in the following code?
Works:
header("Location: cart.php?msg=Thank you. Check your e-mail for Login details.");
die;
} else header("Location: cart.php?msg=Account with given email does not exist.");
die;
Doesn't work:
header("Location: index.php?view=cart?msg=Thank you. Check your e-mail for Login details.");
die;
} else header("Location: index.php?view=cart?msg=Account with given email does not exist.");
die;

i'm running code on what i only want to be the HOME page, but the current site it built using GET variables with index.php

needless to say, the home page is accessed either as domain.com/ or domain.com/index.php - i'm hoping someone can show me how to check for this condition, that it is only index.php without anything further

I'm only slightly familiar with $_SERVER['uri'], etc... So i don't know just what to ask.

thanks for anyone's help.

I have a form that users input user name, password, and email... all writes to csv fine.  My problem is I need to concatenate a a string with a variable and some html code will preserving the html when written to the csv..

I need the csv to be this

username,password,email,user,category,text with http://sub.domain..com/splash/,something,something

here's what i have

Code: [Select]
<?php
if($_POST['formSubmit'] == "Submit")

$varUserName = $_POST['username'];
$varPW = $_POST['PW'];
$varEmail = $_POST['email'];
{
$fs = fopen("testcsv.csv","a");
fputcsv($fs, array($varUserName,$varPW,$varEmail,"user","title",",category","some text '<a href="http://$varUserName.url.com/splash/>site.com</a>',));
fclose($fs);

exit;
}
?>
and of course I'm getting

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' on line 9

Hey guys,

I'm a total newbie here, and just about as a new to php. 

My issue:
I have a very large .html file that contain multiple articles (I actually have a few of these, but we'll start with one for practicality).  The article titles are all wrapped in <h2> tags, there are 10 articles in one file.  The articles are very simple, just a title wrapped with <h2> and then a few paragraphs wrapped in <p> tags. 

What I want to know how to do:
I want to know if there's a way to open that file, and have each article saved as it's own .html or .txt document (the title & following paragraphs of each article).
Ultimately taking my 1 large file, and creating the subsequent 10 smaller files from the articles inside of it.

I am having trouble explaining this in text so I'll try to illustrate:
I have "Articles.html" - which contains (article1,article2,article3.. ..article10)
I want to split "Articles.html" and create "Article1.html", "Article2.html", "Article3.html", etc.

Is that possible?  Or am I looking at something far more complex than I can imagine at this point - perhaps something I'd be better off doing by hand?




Ultimately I intend to stick all these articles into a database, but that's the 2nd part of what I want to do (and I think will be the easier of the tasks).
Let me know if you need any additional information in the event my description above is unclear... I simply am having issues figuring out how to separate out the text into individual articles.

require_once 'phpSimpleHtmlDomClass.php'; $html = '<div> <div class="man">Name: madac</div> <div class="man">Age: 18 <div class="man">Class: 12</div> </div>' $name=$html->find('div[class="man"]', 0)->innertext; $age=$html->find('div[class="man"]', 1)->innertext; $cls=$html->find('div[class="man"]', 2)->innertext;

wanna get a text from each div class="man" but it didn't work because there is a missing closing div tag on 2nd line of html code. please help me to fix this.

thanks in advance.

Hi,

How do I open all HTML file contained in a folder, then search for the title of the page, and save the title in the database?
Also, is it possible to do this using functions?

Cheers.

Hi Everybody.

I hope someone here can advise the correct method for storing html/text in a MySQL DB AND retrieving it for updating via a <textarea>

Basically, I need to store in my DB knowlege base articles, which have a title, category, product version/edition, description, solution, notes, etc... standard KB fields.. sorta...

The issue I am experiencing, or the trouble I am having, is when I need to store both formatting HTML and output HTML in the solution or notes fields, html special chars are being interpreted and the HTML that should be displayed is not there. The char codes are interpreted and the browser then "hides" the HTML tags.

For example, the solution may be this:

Code: [Select]
Find the following line:

&lt;serverURL&gt;URL&lt;/serverURL&gt;

Change the URL to reflect your current server URL.

The html chars are interpreted and changed to the actual less than and greater than signs rather than their &...; form (ie: &lt; &gt; &nbsp etc.)

Some code snippets if it helps...

Creating a record:

Code: [Select]
...
$sol = addslashes($_POST['asol']);
$notes = addslashes($_POST['anotes']);
include('./conf/connect.php');
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `faq_kb`.`articles` (`id`, `solution`, `notes`, `updated`) VALUES (NULL, '$sol', '$notes', NULL) ") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_close($conn);
...

Retrieving a record:

Code: [Select]
...
include('./connect.php');
$get = $_GET['a'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM articles WHERE id='$get'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
mysql_close($conn);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$solution = $row['solution'];
$notes = $row['notes'];
}
...
<h4>Solution:</h4>
<div align="right"><textarea name="rsol" style="width:550px;height:150px;">
<?php echo $solution; ?>
</textarea></div>
<h4>Notes:</h4>
<div align="right"><textarea name="rnotes" style="width:550px;height:150px;">
<?php echo $notes; ?>
</textarea></div>
...

Updating a record:

Code: [Select]
...
$aid = $_POST['id'];
$sol = addslashes($_POST['rsol']);
$notes = addslashes($_POST['rnotes']);
include('./conf/connect.php');
mysql_query("UPDATE `faq_kb`.`articles` SET solution='$sol', notes='$notes' WHERE id='$aid'") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_close($conn);
...

I guess, you can ignore my whole spiel above and simply answer this question:

what function do I need to use to encode the variable for inserting into the database, and what function do I then need to use to decode the variable for output so that it retains it's formatting html and my output/displayed html (&lt; &gt;)???

Thanks guys!

I hope that this makes sense...

Further Example:

This is what is output (inside the dashes):

To configure your SysAid Server logging to debug mode please do the following.

Open the file serverConf.xml located in the directory:

    [...\SysAidServer\root\WEB-INF\conf\]

Change
    <sysaidLogLevel>info</sysaidLogLevel>
to
    <sysaidLogLevel>debug</sysaidLogLevel>

Save the change and then restart the SysAid Server service.
--------------------------

And this is what the source of that looks like:

How do I make this work


Thanks guys

I'm trying to submit html/php code through an html form and then insert it into a mysql database. I've got the following code so far (without the insert into database query), however when I submit the form I get pushed through to my 403 page. If i comment out the textarea that contains the code I am trying to submit, then it goes through fine.

Any ideas?


Code: [Select]
<?
if (isset($_POST['optone'])) {$optone=$_POST['optone']; $opttwo=$_POST['opttwo'];}
if (isset($_POST['type'])) {if ($_POST['type']=='Theory') {$optone=1;} if ($_POST['type']=='Demo') {$optone=2;} $opttwo=$_POST['module'];}

?>

<script>
function setOptions(chosen) {
var selbox = document.myform.opttwo;
 
selbox.options.length = 0;
if (chosen == " ") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Please select an option first',' ');
  document.myform.go.disabled=true;
 
}
if (chosen == "1") {
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 1','1');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 2','2');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 3','3');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 4','4');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 5','5');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 6','6');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 7','7');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 8','8');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 9','9');
  selbox.options[selbox.options.length] = new Option('Module 10','10');

Say I have the following text stored in a MySQL database...

Code: [Select]
<b>Classic Quote from movie</b>
and I retrieve it into a variable called $text, how do I properly echo that so that it keeps the bold tags and actually display the text "Classic quote from movie" in BOLD?

I'm doing something wrong somewhere along the line (simply doing "echo $text;") because it displays on the page as...

Code: [Select]
<b>Classic Quote from movie</b>

Instead of...

Classic Quote from movie

Any info on properly storing and echoing back HTML would be very appreciated.

Hi all,

I have an html form that sends formdata to a php script called example.php with the POST method.

example.php then has the following structu

Code: [Select]
<?php
if(isset($_POST['var1'])) {$var1 = $_POST['var1'];} 
else {$var1 = 'English';}
if(isset($_POST['var2'])) {$var2 = $_POST['var2'];} 
else {$var2 = 'French';}

print"
<html>
<body>
<form>
<select id='select1'>
<option>var1</option>
<option>var2</option>
<option>etc...</option>
</select>
<input type='text' id='input1'>
ETC. ETC.
</form>
</body>
</html>
";
?>
So example.php has an embedded html form. How do I specify that some elements of the form should take their values from the variables retrieved at the start of the script via the POST command?

For example, I want select1 to have 'var1' pre-selected and I want input1 to display var2. var1 & var2 get sent through to example.php fine, I just don't know how to get the embedded html form to use them.

Please help! Thanks a lot.

Hi   I try to echo out random lines of a html file and want after submit password to whole content of the same html file. I have two Problems. 1st Problem When I echo out the random lines of the html file I don't get just the text but the code of the html file as well. I don't want that. I just want the text. How to do that?

for($x = 1;$x<=40;$x++) {
		$lines = file("$filename.html");
        echo $lines[rand(0, count($lines)-1)]."<br>";
        }

I tried instead of "file("$filename.html");" "readfile("$filename.html");" But then I get the random lines plus the whole content. Is there anything else I can use instead of file so that I get the random lines of text  without the html code?P.S file_get_contents doesn't work either have tried that one.     2nd Problem:   As you could see in my first problem I have a file called $filename.html. After I submit the value of a password I want the whole content. But it is like the program did forget what $filename.html is. How can I make the program remember what $filename.html is? Or with other words how to get the whole content of the html file?   My code:

if($_POST['submitPasswordIT']){
if ($_POST['passIT']== $password ){
$my_file = file_get_contents("$filename.html");
echo $my_file;
}
else{
echo "You entered wrong password";
}
}

If the password isn't correct I get: You entered wrong password. If the password is correct I get nothing. I probably need to create a path to the file "$filename.html", but I don't know exactly how to do that.   

Hello

I have the following PHP file:

<?php

?>

<html>

<? $address = "cnn.com"; ?>
<A href="<?=$address?>">Go To</A>


</html>

I want the link value to be "cnn.com", and take it from a variable as I did. What's wrong here, and how I can fix it ?
( PHP 5.2.6, but tried it on PHP 5.3.3 too)

thanks.
