PHP - Posted Value Not Showing In Ie6
Hi Friends,
I have form in that i am sending some values using POST method. But i cant able to get values using $_POST['var'] or $_REQEUST['var'] Data is not coming in IE6, But it is coming in firefox and other browsers even in IE8. What may be problem? any settings i have to make for IE6. ? Any suggestions Similar TutorialsI need to echo back the users drop down selection. How can I do this without storing the value? Code: [Select] $isset = $_POST['industry']; foreach ($industries as $industry) { if (isset($isset) && $industry['industry_id'] == $isset) { echo "<option value=\"{$industry['industry_id'] }\" selected=\"selected\">${industry['industry']}</option>\n"; } else { echo "<option value=\"{$industry['industry_id'] }\">${industry['industry']}</option>\n"; } } When I submit my form the variables are sent to the url in my address bar and not to the php post page (resersend.php). Here is the pertinent html page code (index.html)... Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function showMonth(str) { if (str=="") { document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=""; return; } if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","reserv.php?q="+str,true); xmlhttp.send(); } </script> </head> <body> <form> <p><font face="arial" size="2" color="#336600">Reservation month:</font> <select name="months" onchange="showMonth(this.value)"> <option value="" selected="selected">Choose One</option> <option value="May 2011">May 2011</option> <option value="June 2011">June 2011</option> <option value="July 2011">July 2011</option> <option value="August 2011">August 2011</option> <option value="September 2011">September 2011</option> <option value="October 2011">October 2011</option> <option value="November 2011">November 2011</option> <option value="December 2011">December 2011</option> <option value="January 2012">January 2012</option> <option value="February 2012">February 2012</option> <option value="March 2012">March 2012</option> <option value="April 2012">April 2012</option> </select> </form></p> </body> </html> And here is the php code from the page (reserv.php) that works with the above html page...

Thanks. I have a status system, built with ajax, and I need to get the unique id that the database assigns to the post and return it in the results that are appended to the page via javascript, however I'm not sure how the bessst way would be to do this? I have been doing this: ///variables that are sent to the database $session = $_COOKIE['id']; $uid = $_POST['id']; $post = $_POST['post']; $date = mktime(); //way I have got the unique id of this post $query = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE from_id='$session' AND to_id='$uid' AND post='$post' AND date='$date'")); $id = $query['id']; Although that does work, It feels like it might not always be accurate. How can I echo the $id? Every time I post approved it refreshes my page and I can see the echoed out ID. I need to know what the ID value is. Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['approve'])) { if(is_array($_POST['approve'])) { $keys = array_keys($_POST['approve']); $id = $keys[0]; echo $id; die(); //$sql = "UPDATE `blog_comments` SET `approved` = 1 WHERE `post_id` = '$id'"; //header("Location: " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ); } } I need some help displaying the posted values onto a second page. I thought I was doing it right, but nothing is showing up on my second page. I have my form set to PHP_SELF to validate before sending the user to the second page, and it's working just fine. If no errors are present, the user is redirected to the second page, but it's supposed to be displaying their posted data, but it's not. What am I doing wrong? Code: [Select] <?php /*$name = ""; $address = ""; $city = ""; $state = ""; $zip = ""; $phone = ""; $position = ""; $display_errors = "";*/ if (@$_POST['submitted']){ $name = (@$_POST['name']); $address = (@$_POST['address']); $city = (@$_POST['city']); $state = (@$_POST['state']); $zip = (@$_POST['zip']); $phone = (@$_POST['phone']); $position = (@$_POST['position']); if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()){ $name = stripslashes($name); $address = stripslashes($address); $city = stripslashes($city); $state = stripslashes($state); $zip = stripslashes($zip); $phone = stripslashes($phone); $position = stripslashes($position); } $error_msg=array(); if ($name==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your name"; } if ($address==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your address"; } if ($city==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your city"; } if ($state==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your state"; } if ($zip==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your zip code"; } if ($phone==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your phone number"; } if ($position==""){ $error_msg[]="Please enter your desired position"; } if ($error_msg){ $display_errors = "<ul style=color:red>\n"; foreach ($error_msg as $err){ $display_errors .= "<li>".$err."</li>\n"; } $display_errors .= "</ul>\n"; } if (!$error_msg){ //echo $name .

Can anyone help? am coming across the problem. When I use copied text in my input form it gives some characters this � character.
I am not sure how to post text so this doesn't happen.
Example:
This line copied:

My code:
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $description_clean_magic = stripslashes($description); } else { $description_clean_magic = $description; } Hi everyone,
I've been running a self-written php shopping cart for the last 8 years, with lots of success. Recently however, the credit card processor (Linkpoint) I use upgraded their gateway, and now I have a problem.
Basically, the last page of my checkout does a _POST to a specific url for their gateway. I send through a bunch of <input> variables, some of them hidden, but all of them check out okay. I have combed over their specs, made sure I'm not sending any bad characters, made sure I've got the right format for the fields they want, etc...
Right now the transaction is successful, the customer's card is charged, but Linkpoint's system is returning an error message: We are unable to process your request due to invalid data.
Long story short, their support staff has asked me to "send them the xml string" via email. I have no idea how to do this (even after spending a few hours online trying to figure it out).
Is there a simple way to generate the xml string that's being passed during the _POST? Some kind of php code I can incorporate into my final checkout page, run a test transaction, and maybe write the string out somewhere so I can get it to them?
Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Danny Hi, I only want to display some included PHP code only if a value is displayed from form input. The value is a zip code which is used to display weather information, but the app produces an error when you first enter the page, because their is no value for the zip variable. I know I need an if/else statement, but not sure what to put in it. The form code is this <h3>Enter your zip code to receive weather info.</h3> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>"> Enter Zip Code:<input type="text" size="12" maxlength="12" name="zip"><br /> <input id="submit" type="submit" name="Submit" value="Enter Zip"/> </form> <?php // this is how we bring in the weather file include 'weather_report.php' ?> the zip variable is set-up in the weather_report.php file as follows $zip = $_POST["zip"]; but like I said until that value is set, an error is thrown by the weather app code. How can I prioritize the data posted. Right now this if statements are being posted at different times. If I hit submit and all the if statements post to mysql it is saying that they all receive the same time stamp, but the data is never posted in the same order. Can I order the posting process in php? Code: [Select] if ((isset($_POST['companywebsiteas'])) && ($_POST['companywebsiteas'] != $r['companywebsite'])) { $details = $_POST['companywebsiteas']; update_company_actions($info['companyid'], 18, $details); } if ((isset($_POST['companyindustryas'])) && ($_POST['companyindustryas'] != $info['industry'])) { $details = $_POST['companyindustryas']; update_company_actions($info['companyid'], 17, $details); } if ((isset($_POST['companystageas'])) && ($_POST['companystageas'] != $info['stage'])) { $details = $_POST['companystageas']; update_company_actions($info['companyid'], 10, $details); } if ((!isset($_POST['companystateas'])) && (($_POST['companycountryas'] != $info['country']) || ($_POST['companycityas'] != $info['city']))) { $details = $_POST['companycityas'].', '.$_POST['companycountryas']; update_company_actions($info['companyid'], 11, $details); } else if ((isset($_POST['companystateas'], $_POST['companycityas'])) && (($_POST['companystateas'] != $info['state']) || ($_POST['companycityas'] != $info['city']))) { $details = $_POST['companycityas'].', '.$_POST['companystateas']; update_company_actions($info['companyid'], 11, $details); } <?php include("add_p2.php"); //basic pdo connection (with added option for error handling) if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { try { $stmt = $dbh->prepare("INSERT INTO passwords (description, username, password ) VALUES (:description, :username, :AES_ENCRYPT)"); $stmt->bindParam(':description', $description); $stmt->bindParam(':username', $username); $stmt->bindParam(':password', $password); try { $statement->execute(array( "description" => "description", "username" => "username", "password" => "password" )); } catch(PDOException $e) { echo "Exception caught: $e"; } //insert one row $name = 'one'; $value = 1; $stmt->execute(); header( 'Location: localhost/password_added.php' ); exit(); ?> <?php $dsn = "mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=pword_db;charset=utf8"; $opt = array( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION, PDO::ATTR_DEFAULT_FETCH_MODE => PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ); $pdo = new PDO($dsn,'root','', $opt); ?> <form action="add_p.php" method="post"> <span class="cursive">Description: </span><br> <textarea name="description" rows="20" cols="50"></textarea> <br> <span class="cursive">Username: </span><br> <input type="text" name="username" /> <br> <span class="cursive">Password: </span><br> <input type="text" name="password" /> <br> <input type="submit"/> </form>Hi, above is the 3 components that should add form data into MySQL database using PDO. all it's doing is entering empty values, I'm really not sure why this is? please could someone help me with pointing me in the right direction, offer hint's making this work Thanks Attached Files PHPmyadmin.JPG 64.83KB 0 downloads To anyone, Apache 2.2.21/PHP5.3.5/MySQL 5.2.36.

This is a post for all of you ajax/php pimps who don't mind helping a beginner. I have been working on a little ajax script to filter a table called "recipes2" in a database called "recipes" using a dropdown menu. Once I get this script to work, I can run queries without having to refresh the page.
The problem, something is not right, the php script does not seem to be getting the posted data. even though the ajax script returns success when i check for it. What am I doing wrong?
Also please note that, if possible, I'd like all the code to stay on one page.
This is the SQL script if you want to create the database and table:

Here is the code, the file should be named 'filterRecipes.php'.

Hi, I have a feeling that this is going to be an easy miss but I've been over is a good few times and cannot see what it could be.

If it was posted longer ago than yesterday, then I would like it to just be the normal date.
