PHP - Need Help With Uploading Form Data
Hi - I use PHP and CodeIgniter to create a Form which allows the user to amend and then submit the
dates and locations. It looks like this: Code: [Select] Pick Up ID Location Date 1 Date 2 Date 3 Date 4 Remove? 1 Canmore 1 April 1 May 1 June 1 July Delete In order to facilitate easy searches and DB management the Dates Table looks like this: Code: [Select] puid locationid dates 1 1 1331668779 15 1 1383668779 12 1 1311746700 5 1 1321746641 16 2 1381668779 9 2 1331746700 Every date falls within the same DB column. Using Group_CONCAT in the query and EXPLODE in the view , It all works very well for pivoting the dates into a horizontal display. The resulting array which feeds the form looks like this: Code: [Select] Array ( [0] => Array ( [location] => Banff [locationid] => 1 [TheDates] => 1311746700,1321746641,1331668779,1383668779 ) [1] => Array ( [location] => Canmore [locationid] => 3 [TheDates] => 1311746700,1321746641,1331746641,1371668779 ) [2] => Array ( [location] => Collingwood [locationid] => 4 [TheDates] => 1311746700,1321746641,1331746641,1371668779 ) As you can see TheDates for each location is held in a comma delimited string. They are exploded out such that they can be placed into the view using this code: View Code: [Select] <?php foreach ($pickupdates as $item) { $theDates = explode(',', $item['TheDates']); ?> <tr align="center"> <td width="100" align="center"><?php echo $item['locationid'];?></td> <td width="100" align="center"><?php $data = array('name'=>$item['location'], 'size'=>20,'value' => $item['location']); echo form_input ($data); ?></td> <td width="100"><?php $data = array('name'=>$theDates[0],'size'=>15,'value' =>(strftime("%a %d %b %Y",$theDates[0]))); echo form_input($data); ?></td> <td width="100"><?php $data = array('name'=>$theDates[1],'size'=>15,'value' =>(strftime("%a %d %b %Y",$theDates[1]))); echo form_input($data); ?></td> <td width="100"><?php $data = array('name'=>$theDates [2],'size'=>15,'value' => (strftime("%a %d %b %Y",$theDates[2]))); echo form_input($data); ?></td> <td width="100"><?php $data = array('name'=> $theDates [3],'size'=>15,'value' => (strftime("%a %d %b %Y",$theDates[3]))); echo form_input($data); ?></td> <td width="150"> <?php echo anchor ('admin/pickup_detail/deletelocation/'. $item['location'], 'Delete');? ></td> </tr> <?php ;} ?> </table> At this point things stop working properly. The form presents the data fine however my amends to the form do not update the Database. I get an error saying invalid argument of the 'Foreach' in the model code below. I know that my model does not work and is flawed. I am not sure how to properly construct the $Data array in the CI form so that my update controller and update model ( Data Access ) amend the fields correctly bearing in mind the nature of the data structures and the fact that it is being presented in a converted Human readable date yet stored as date stamps. Controller: Code: [Select] function Updatelocation(){ $this->MPickup->Updatelocation(); redirect('admin/pickup_detail','refresh'); } Model Code: [Select] function Updatelocation(){ if( isset( $_POST['locationid'] ) ) { foreach( $_POST['locationid'] as $pickupid=>$location) { // ERROR; "Invalid Arguement provide in Foreach" $data = array( 'locationid' => db_clean($_POST['locationid']), 'dates' => db_clean($_POST['$theDates[0]']), 'dates' => db_clean($_POST['$theDates[1]']), 'dates' => db_clean($_POST['$theDates[2]']), 'dates' => db_clean($_POST['$theDates[3]']), ); $this->db->where('locationid', $locationid); $this->db->update('pudates',$data); $this->session->set_flashdata('message', 'Table Updated'); } } else echo "Update Failed"; } If ANY ONE can provide me a steer in the right direction I will be forever grateful !! Many Thanks !! Similar TutorialsHi there, I have a form submitting to a mysql database. It was requested that I put a multiple file upload option on it. So I added the fields to the form and the database and added the upload script to the form processing file (and of course created the folder on the server with proper permissions to upload to). It should upload the file(s) to the folder on the server and insert the filename into the database. I keep getting: HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request. This leads me to believe the upload script isn't working properly. If someone could take a look at it I would be a very happy guy. This is the upload script: (insert.php) Code: [Select] <?php $con = mysql_connect("server","user","pass"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("db", $con); $dateSubmitted = date("Y-m-d"); $target = "attachments/"; $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc1']['name']); $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc2']['name']); $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc3']['name']); $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc4']['name']); $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['doc5']['name']); $sql="INSERT INTO investments (active, project, inv_amount, account_type, prefix, first_name, last_name, address1, address2, city, province, postal_code, country, phone, email, referral_fee, ref_agent, ship_name, ship_address, ship_city, ship_province, ship_postal, ship_country, notes, dateSubmitted, doc1, doc2, doc3, doc4, doc5) VALUES ('$_POST[active]','$_POST[account_type]','$_POST[project]','$_POST[inv_amount]','$_POST[prefix]','$_POST[prefix]','$_POST[first_name]','$_POST[last_name]','$_POST[address1]', '$_POST[address2]','$_POST[city]','$_POST[province]','$_POST[postal_code]','$_POST[country]','$_POST[phone]','$_POST[email]','$_POST[referral_fee]','$_POST[ref_agent]','$_POST[ship_name]','$_POST[ship_address]','$_POST[ship_city]','$_POST[ship_province]','$_POST[ship_postal]','$_POST[ship_country]','$_POST[notes]','$_POST[dateSubmitted]',$_FILES['doc1']['name'],$_FILES['doc2']['name'],$_FILES['doc3']['name'],$_FILES['doc4']['name'],$_FILES['doc5']['name'])"; //Writes the photo to the server if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['doc1']['tmp_name'], $target)) if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['doc2']['tmp_name'], $target)) if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['doc3']['tmp_name'], $target)) if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['doc4']['tmp_name'], $target)) if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['doc5']['tmp_name'], $target)) { //Tells you if its all ok echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']).

JE Greetings, What I'm trying to do is have users upload their event information into a database which would include a flyer. I don't want the image file to go into the database (other than the filename) rather I'd like it to be dropped into a directory. In the same script I'd like to dynamically generate a thumbnail. I have the two scripts and separately they work fine, but I can't get them to work together. I'm guessing the conflict because the thumbnail script is using $_POST and the mysql script is using $_SESSION. If so how can I modify them to both use $_SESSION? The thumbnail script is goes from line 1 - 146 and the mysql portion is the rest. The results of processing this look something like this.

I want the form data to be 1) stored into a mysql database AND after storing said data, 2) email the same data to our sales department. 1) The form data DOES get stored into mysql database (except for the first two fields, for some weird reason) 2) I added a "mail" section to the php file that stores the data into the database, but it is not working correctly. I have stripped the email portion down to sending just one of the fields in the "message" to make it easier for troubleshooting I have included here, both the form section of the html file, and the formdata.php file that processes the data for your analysis. I am relatively new to php so there are going to be some issues with security, but I can work on those after I get the store & email process to work correctly. Please review my code and see if anyone can be of assistance. I looked through the forums and couldn't find another issue that was the same as mine.

Problem is, I am not that great with HTML and have just been Copy/Pasting tags to get forms I like and editing where I think things should go. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the html tags I am using, because by itself it works fine, but when I Copy/Paste that code to where, I think, it should be on my registration form, the if statement that checks for type and size regulations always returns false. It must have something to do with the form/post/submit button combo being pasted into, the working, registration form page. This is my working upload test code Code: [Select] <html> <body> <form method = "post" enctype = "multipart/form-data"> <label for = "file">Filename:</label> <input type = "file" name = "file" id = "file" /> <input type = "submit" name = "Submit" value ="Submit"> </form> <?php if (!empty($_FILES['file'])) { if ((( $_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 5000000)) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) { header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?upload=".$_FILES["file"]["error"]); exit(); } else if (file_exists("/var/www/pics/".$_FILES["file"]["name"])) { header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?upload=exists"); exit(); } move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/var/www/pics/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]); } } ?> </body> </html> Now, this is what my registration page, after I Copy/Paste the sections together, looks like: Code: [Select] <html> <body> Please enter your details below: <br /> <form name = "Details" method = "post"> <br /> Username: <input type = "text" name = "Username"> <br /> Password: <input type = "text" name = "Password"> <br /> Name: <input type = "text" name = "Name"> <br /> Address: <input type = "text" name = "Line1"> <br /> Line 2: <input type = "text" name = "Line2"> <br /> City: <input type = "text" name = "City"> <br /> State: <input type = "text" name = "State"> <br /> Zip: <input type = "text" name = "Zip"> <br /> Now let's get those daily deals... <br /> Monday: <input type = "text" name = "Monday"> <br /> Tuesday: <input type = "text" name = "Tuesday"> <br /> Wednesday: <input type = "text" name = "Wednesday"> <br /> Thursday: <input type = "text" name = "Thursday"> <br /> Friday: <input type = "text" name = "Friday"> <br /> Saturday: <input type = "text" name = "Saturday"> <br /> Sunday: <input type = "text" name = "Sunday"> <br /> <form method = "post" enctype = "multipart/form-data"> <label for = "file">Filename:</label> <input type = "file" name = "file" id = "file" /> <input type = "submit" name = "Submit" value ="Submit"> </form> <?php include_once("host_class.php"); include_once("event_class.php"); if (!empty($_POST['Username'])) { $host = new Host(); $event = new Event(); if ($host->i_exist($_POST['Username'])) { header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?login=duplicate"); exit(); } else if ((( $_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 5000000)) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) { header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?upload=".$_FILES["file"]["error"]); exit(); } else if (file_exists("/var/www/pics/".$_FILES["file"]["name"])) { header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error.php?upload=exists"); exit(); } move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "/var/www/pics/".$_FILES["file"]["name"]); $host->set_username($_POST['Username']); $host->set_password($_POST['Password']); $host->set_name($_POST['Name']); $host->set_address($_POST['Line1'], $_POST['Line2'], $_POST['City'], $_POST['State'], $_POST['Zip']); $host->set_pic($_FILES['file']['name']); $id = new MongoID($host->add_me()); $host->build_me($id); $host->set_mondayID($event->add_me($_POST['Monday'], $host->get_id())); $host->set_tuesdayID($event->add_me($_POST['Tuesday'], $host->get_id())); $host->set_wednesdayID($event->add_me($_POST['Wednesday'], $host->get_id())); $host->set_thursdayID($event->add_me($_POST['Thursday'], $host->get_id())); $host->set_fridayID($event->add_me($_POST['Friday'], $host->get_id())); $host->set_saturdayID($event->add_me($_POST['Saturday'], $host->get_id())); $host->set_sundayID($event->add_me($_POST['Sunday'], $host->get_id())); $host->update_me(); header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/member.php?ID=".$id); exit(); } else { header("Location: http://www.drink-social.com/error?upload=empty"); exit(); } } ?> </body> </html> It gets past checking to see if post is empty, but when it gets to see if there is a file, it returns false and brings me to my error page and says there was no file selected...? I am clueless, please advise Thanks in advance, and sorry so long! Hello, iv found some guides on how to make this form with restrictions, but some of them are not working. Problems that im having with this: 1) It uploads an image even if its size is bigger than the MAX_SIZE (it shows a message that the file size is too big but uploads anyway) (if i pick a file thats not jpeg/png/jpg/gif it wont upload tho). 2) When i press submit button w/o selecting any files, it gives me the message that file was uploaded. (do i need to add an 'else' in the if(isset) part?) 3) Dunno how to explain this, but when pick some non-image file and click submit, it gives me that the file type is bad (witch it should), however when i choose an image file right after this and click submit again (it says that type is bad again), if i pick same image file for the 3rd time and click submit it gives me the message that it was uploaded. Same if i do it backwards: I) pick image, submit - "file uploaded" II) pick non-image, submit - "file uploaded" III) pick non-image, submit -"bad type" Heres the code that i have (i left it with comments, idk if i should have removed them or not): <?php //define a maxim size for the uploaded images in Kb define ("MAX_SIZE","20"); //This function reads the extension of the file.

Hello: I would like to know how I can add the option to upload JPGs and/or PDFs to the form I have. I believe I will need to allow 3 uploads once the whole form is done, but I'm trying to keep it small as I learn this. Currently, the form saves the data to the database, and emails the results to a contact. This is fine - just what I need to do most of the time. However, what I'm interesting in doing for this form is to allow the end user to upload/attached JPGs and/or PDFs and save then to the database (and I believe I will need to save the files in a folder on the server, I have one called "EmailedImages"), and then email the results to the contact, including links that will allow the contact to click and download the attached JPGs and/or PDFs. I haven't done this before, so can someone point me in the direction of how to do this, or should an example with the code I use: Code: [Select] <?php $error = NULL; $myDate = NULL; $FullName = NULL; $Email = NULL; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $myDate = $_POST['myDate']; $FullName = $_POST['FullName']; $Email = $_POST['Email']; if(empty($FullName)) { $error .= '-- Enter your Full Name. <br />'; } if(empty($Email)) { $error .= '-- Enter your Email. <br />'; } if($error == NULL) { $sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO myContactData(myDate,FullName,Email) VALUES ('%s','%s','%s')", mysql_real_escape_string($myDate), mysql_real_escape_string($FullName), mysql_real_escape_string($Email); if(mysql_query($sql)) { $error .= 'Thank you for contacting us.'; mail( "email@mywebsite.com", "Contact Request", "Date Sent: $myDate\n Full Name: $FullName\n Email: $Email\n", "From: $Email" ); } else { $error .= 'There was an error in our Database, please Try again!'; } } } echo '<span class="textError">' . $error . '</span>'; ?> <form name="myform" action="" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="myDate" size="45" maxlength="50" value="<?php echo date("F j, Y"); ?>" /> Full Name: <input type="text" name="FullName" size="45" maxlength="50" value="<?php echo $FullName; ?>" /> Email: <input type="text" name="Email" size="45" maxlength="50" value="<?php echo $Email; ?>" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I probably have missed something out but I am very new to php so please help!! Thanks Cameron I have been spending the majority of this week figuring out why my files are not showing up at my upload location that I set up in my newly created simple upload form. It just seems like php doesn't like me at all. Here is what my code looks like below. Code: [Select] <?php if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['thefile']['name'], $upload_file)) $destination = "/www/zymichost.com/m/t/l/mtlproductions/htdocs/"; $upload_file = $destination . basename($_FILES['thefile']['name']);{ echo "Your file has been uploaded successfully!"; }/* else { echo "Your file did not upload successfully. Check to make sure your file meets the requirements and then try again."; print_r($_FILES);}*/?> I have the orange marked areas commented out due to the unexpected T_ELSE error thing. What do I do to get my files to show up at my upload location when I use my upload form? Thanks! Hey, been trying to make a form to upload an image to the server and also email the image as attachment. After nearly a week I managed to make it work. Only some validation needs to be done. My next step is to make it work for multiple files, ie. 5. The form will have 5 boxes to upload images and no more. I have tried a few different things with for loops ( ie for $i=0; $i<5; $i++ {...} ) but no luck. I can't think of any solution of a loop to upload multiple files and then email multiple attachment as my code. The code is: <?php session_start(); $imagename1 = $_FILES["uploadFile1"]["name"]; $_SESSION['imagename1'] = $imagename1; $imagename1 = $_SESSION['imagename1']; $imagetype1 = $_SESSION['imagetype1']; $imagesize1 = $_SESSION['imagesize1']; $imagetemp1 = $_SESSION['imagetemp1']; $thankyouurl = 'thankyou.php' ; $errorurl = 'error.php' ; $http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" ); $http_agent = getenv( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" ); $domain = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $filename = $_SESSION['uploadFilename']; if(isset($_POST['send'])) { $fp = fopen($imagetemp1, "rb"); $file = fread($fp, $imagesize1); $file = chunk_split(base64_encode($file)); $num = md5(time()); fclose($fp); // UPLOAD FILE // possible PHP upload errors $errors = array(1 => 'php.ini max file size exceeded', 2 => 'html form max file size exceeded', 3 => 'file upload was only partial', 4 => 'no file was attached'); // check the upload form was actually submitted else print form isset($_POST['send']) or error('the upload form is neaded', $uploadForm); // check for standard uploading errors ($_FILES[$fieldname1]['error'] == 0) or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname1]['error']], $uploadForm); // check that the file we are working on really was an HTTP upload @is_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname1]['tmp_name']) or error('not an HTTP upload', $uploadForm); // validation... since this is an image upload script we // should run a check to make sure the upload is an image @getimagesize($_FILES[$fieldname1]['tmp_name']) or error('only image uploads are allowed', $uploadForm); // make a unique filename for the uploaded file and check it is // not taken... if it is keep trying until we find a vacant one $now = date("y-m-d_H-i-s", time()); while(file_exists($uploadFilename = $uploadsDirectory.$now.'_'.$_FILES[$fieldname1]['name'])) { $now++; } // now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename @move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname1]['tmp_name'] , $uploadFilename) or error('receiving directory insuffiecient permission', $uploadForm); $from= 'youremail@server.co.uk'; $emailTo = 'mail@hotmail.com'; $subject = 'Quote Form'; $body = "equipment_type: $equipment_type \n\nModel: $Model \n\nMake: $Make \n\nModelNumber: $ModelNumber"; $fp = $_SESSION['fp']; $file = $_SESSION['file']; $num = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x".$_SESSION['num']; $headers = 'From: Name <'.$from.'>' .

I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have been trying to solve my problem for hours and I am not having any luck, so I thought I would post and see if anyone can help. I am very stuck and am not making much progress on this project, and I am certain the answer is very simple. I am constructing a form to collect data for a specialized purpose. The form and program actually work for its intended function, but I am trying to enhance the user experience by preventing customers from having to reenter all of their data should there be a problem with any of the data submitted. I have been able to do that with the contact form portion, but what I am having trouble with is the portion which has as many as 400 possible entries. So, in a nutshell, if the customers contact data is incomplete or in error, the form will ask them to return to the page and correct things. The previous data entered has been saved in the session and the input value will equal the previous entry. i.e. <tr> <td align="right" class="infoBox"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></td> <td align=left><?php echo "<input type=text name='cemail' value=\"$cemail\" size=35 maxlength=35>" ?></td> </tr> Works perfectly, all well and good there. On the other 400 more or less entries, I am having a difficult time tweaking the string concatenation to work to achieve similar results. There are 4 columns each with $points entries asking for a dimension in either feet or inches. The <input name=> is one of ptaf,ptai,ptbf,ptbi, appended programatically with the corresponding row number or data point. i.e. "ptaf1", "ptai1", etc... This is produced by the example below and works perfectly also. <?php { $points=100; $i=1; while ($i <= $points) {echo ' <tr><td align="center" width="6"><b> ' .$i . '</b></td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptaf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptai'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptbf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptbi'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> '; $i++; } } ?> I am trying to add <input value=$ptai.$i> for each field but as I mentioned I am not having any luck. It seems as if I have tried every combination imagineable, but still no luck. My head is spinning! The closest I seem to have gotten was with this: <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" size=6 maxlength=3 name="ptaf'.$i.'" value="' . "$ptaf" . $i . '" ></td> But line 17 for example returns this: <input type="text" value="17" name="ptaf17" maxlength="3" size="6"> To recap, I am trying to have the value set to whatever the customer may have entered previously. Again, I would most appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you need clarification on anything please let me know. Thanks AJ Say there is a complex opt in process where people start to enter their data but certain questions stop them where they close out of the page. They already entered their data and I feel there is a way to grab it and post it to mysql even though they do not click submit.
How would this be done?
A super simple example (proof of concept) or a link to a tutorial would be very useful.
Edited by brentman, 23 September 2014 - 10:42 AM. Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you. Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one. FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you: The HTML with the PHP codes: Code: [Select] <?php if ($_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! There are two pieces to this- The HTML Form and the resulting php. I can't seem to make the leap, from the code to having the form produce the php page so others can view it until the form is again submitted overwriting the php, thus generating new content. The environment I am working in is limited to IIs 5.1 and php 5.2.17 without mySQL or other DB I'm new to php, this isn't homework,or commercialization, it's for children. I am thinking perhaps fwrite / fread but can't get my head around it. Code snipets below. Any help, please use portions of this code in hopes I can understand it Thanks Code snipet from Output.php Code: [Select] <?php $t1image = $_POST["t1image"]; $t1title = $_POST["t1title"]; $t1info = $_POST["t1info"]; $t2image = $_POST["t2image"]; $t2title = $_POST["t2title"]; $t2info = $_POST["t2info"]; ?> ... <tbody> <tr><!--Headers--> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Animal</td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Image thumb<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Date<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Information<br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">Monkey </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><img src="<?php echo $t1image.'.gif'; ?>"><!--single image presented selected from radio buttons--> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><?php echo date("m/d/Yh:i A"); ?><!--time stamp generated when submitted form populates all fields at once--> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><a href="#monkey" rel="facebox"><?php echo $t1title ?></a><!--Link name provided by "Title 1", that links to hidden Div generated page with content from "Info1" field--> <div id="Monkey" style="display:none"> <?php echo $t1info; ?> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">Cat<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><img src="<?php echo $t2image.'.gif'?>"></td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><?php echo date("m/d/Yh:i A"); ?></td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><a href="#Cat" rel="facebox"><?php echo $t2title ?></a> <div id="Cat" style="display:none"> <?php echo $t2info; ?> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> This replicates several times down the page around 15-20 times ( t1### - t20###) Code Snipet from HTML Form Code: [Select] <form action="animals.php" method="post"> <div style="text-align: left;"><big style="font-family: Garamond; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><big><big><span>Monkey</span></big></big></big><br> <table style="text-align: left; width: 110px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td style="vertical-align: top;">Image thumb<br> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="No opinion" checked><img src="eh.gif" alt="Eh"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Ok"><img src="ok.gif" alt="ok"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Like"><img src="like.gif" alt="Like"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Dont"><img src="dont.gif" alt="Don't Like"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Hate"><img src="hate.gif" alt="Hate"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Other"><img src="other.gif" alt="Other"> <br> Why Title:<input type="text" name="t1title" size="45" value="..."/></td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> Explain:<br> <textarea name="t1info" cols=45 rows=3 value="..."></textarea> </td></tr></table> <br> <!--Next--> How do I get the Form data to save to the php page for others to view?
