PHP - Cookie Not Repopulating Textarea In Form
Hi everyone,
I have a form which is repopulated with cookies of user entries following an unsuccessful submit. It works on all fields except the textarea which is just blank. Can anybody suggest why this isn't working? Here is the form page code: Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd"> <?php include("functions.php"); getcompanyname(company); ?> <html> <head> <title>Nominate <?php echo getuserdetails("company", company); ?> for The WOW!

KN Similar TutorialsHere is my code: <?php //input will be start date $startdate=0; function getMondays($day,$month,$year,$i,$end){ $x = 7; $add=0; for($i; $i<$end; $i++){ $add++; //This will get the first set of Mondays //store it inside an array //time stamp 11 pm GMT on date $array[$i] = date('U', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day+$counter, $year)); //$firstDay = date('d/m/y', mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, 4+$counter, $year)); $counter = $x * $add; } return $array; } This gets the four weeks following the date set and store it in an array: $Weeks = getMondays(04,04,2011,0,5); Each slot is the equivalent of a week e.g. week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4,week 5 //perform equivilence test if($week1==$currentdate || $currentdate<=$week2){ //for all week 1 stick the following sentence echo "data for week 1"; } if($currentdate>$week2 && $currentdate<=$week3){ //for all week 2 stick the following sentence echo "data for week 2"; } if($currentdate>$week3 && $currentdate<=$week4){ //for all week 3 stick the following sentence echo "data for week 3"; } if($currentdate>$week4 && $currentdate<=$week5){ //for all week 4 stick the following sentence echo "data for week 3"; } if($currentdate==$week5){ //where d/m/y = the date on week 5. //will now become week 1 data getMondays(d,m,y,0,4); } Now depending on which week it is, a set data is displayed which is hardcoded. Now what I want to do is to reset the array on week 4 (for the new month), without the array being repopulated with the old date: $Weeks = getMondays(04,04,2011,0,4); everytime the script is run. How do I do this? I'm trying to repopulate a dropdown list when the user hits the submit button to add another item to the dropdown.

This is the second part of a question: Question: In the program you created in question 4, allow your user the option of saving the information for the next time they visit. If they choose "yes", save information in a cookie. At the bottom of question5.php I added a checkbox to save the information. I then created an if statement on the processing page (question5display.php. I would appreciate some help, thanks guys. Here is the form ( called it question5.php): <html> <head> <title> Please Enter Your Text</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="question5display.php"> <p>Enter the text you want formatted please: <input type="text" name="textformat" maxlength="30" size="30" /> <table> <tr> <td><label for="font">Select Font:</label></td> <td><select id="font" name="font"> <option value="Verdana">Verdana</option> <option value="Arial">Arial</option> <option value="Times New Roman">Times New Roman</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for ="size">Select Size:</label></td> <td><select id="size" name="size"> <option value="10px">10px</option> <option value="12px">12px</option> <option value="14px">14px</option> <option value="20px">20px</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><label for="color">Select Color:</label></td> <td><select id="color" name="color"> <option value="green">Green</option> <option value="blue">Blue</option> <option value="red">Red</option> </select> </td> </tr> </table> <input type="checkbox" id="save_prefs" name="save_prefs" /> <label for="save_prefs">Save these preferences for the next time you log in.</label> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> Here is the page it goes to (called it question5display): <?php if (isset($_POST['save_prefs'])) { setcookie('font', $_POST['font'], time() + 60); setcookie('size', $_POST['size'], time() + 60); setcookie('color', $_POST['color'], time() + 60); $_COOKIE['font'] = $_SESSION['font']; $_COOKIE['size'] = $_SESSION['size']; $_COOKIE['color'] = $_SESSION['color']; } session_start(); $_SESSION['textformat'] = $_POST['textformat']; $_SESSION['font'] = $_POST['font']; $_SESSION['size'] = $_POST['size']; $_SESSION['color'] = $_POST['color']; ?> <html> <head> </head> <body> <p <?php echo ' style="font-family: ' . $_SESSION['font'] .

I have a form that I have programmed in PHP and upon completion of the form, sends the inputed information to my clients e-mail (acts as a lead) and redirects the user to the main part of the website, where you can access all of the content. Now, I need a little assistance on how to make it so if the same user comes back to the site again, they won't always have to fill out the form and it will just forward them to the main page. Clarification: This is what I'm trying to figure out When you go to the url for the first time, the index page has the form on it that must be filled out before you can access the rest of the pages on the website (I have this set as a redirect in the php processing after you submit the form). What coding would I have to add to the html on the form page (index) and/or my php processor and/or the html on the page you are redirected to? My overall goal is for the user to only see the form page once, after they have submitted it the first time, the next time they visit the url, I want them automatically re-directed to the main part of the site since they already completed the form. For Example: (I have this part programmed and working already) The user goes to http://www.example.com for the first time and they see the page with the form on it. They fill it out and click "Submit" and are re-directed to http://www.example.com/page2.html, this redirect is handled with a header "location" command. (This is the part I need help with) At a future time the same user returns to http://www.example.com and since they have already filled out the form they are automatically re-directed to http://www.example.com/page2.html without having to hit the "Submit" button or really even see the form page. Thank you very much in advance, I appreciate your help! I want to update a value by setting cookie. I use this code: Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['ChangeOrdering'])) { setcookie("Ordering", $_POST['ChangeOrdering'], time() + 31536000); } echo $_COOKIE["Ordering"]; ?> <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] ?>"> Reorder messages: <select name="ChangeOrdering"> <option value="DateAdded ASC">Oldest first</option> <option value="DateAdded DESC">Newest first</option> <option value="Title ASC">By Title, A-Z</option> <option value="Title DESC">By Title, Z-A</option> </select> <input type="submit" value=" Save Settings " /> </form> Problem is that echo will return the previous cookie set, not the last value. As a matter of fact, my problem is about updating the cookie. It seems that the browser load the cookie before it is updated by the POST value. I have a form where people have to fill in some fields and send an email. When there is an error the user has to go back to the form with: Code: [Select] if (!isset($_POST['checkbox'])) { $msgToUser = '<br /><br /><font color="#FF0000">You did not add any recipients!<br><a href="javascript: history.go(-1)">Go Back</a></font>'; include_once 'msgToUser.php'; exit(); } I want to save the data that has been filled in the textarea so he doesn't have to type eveything again. I tried several options but the textarea keeps getting blank. Code: [Select] <?php $message = isset($_POST['message']) ? $_POST['message'] : ''; $fhtml = "<p>Welcome <b>'$logOptions_username'</b> write your email here. <a href=\"#\" onclick=\"return false\" onmousedown=\"javascript:toggleViewFlags('country_flags');\">Add Recipients</a> <br> </p><input type=hidden name=post value=yes><p> Subject:<br> <input type=text name=name size=100> </p> <p> Message:<br> <textarea name=message rows=10 cols=75>$message</textarea> </p> <p> <input type=submit name=submit value=\"Send\"> $sendMsg </p> "; echo $fhtml; ?> This code is apparently not working. Marco hi im trying to display the form entities in the textarea field so they can be sent to the user in an email, but its not working properly it prints out the variable $idName instead of its value?? any help would be greatly appricated ive been stuck on this bit of ages <?php function display_output_page() { $idName = trim($_REQUEST['username']); $firstName = trim($_REQUEST['firstname']); $Surname = trim($_REQUEST['surname']); $Address = trim($_REQUEST['address']); $Email = trim($_REQUEST['email']); $Phone = trim($_REQUEST['phone']); $Fitness = isset($_REQUEST['fitness']) ? $_REQUEST['fitness'] : ''; $goGym = isset($_REQUEST['gogym']) ? $_REQUEST['gogym'] : ''; $whyGym = isset($_REQUEST['whyGym']) ? $_REQUEST['whyGym']: array(); ?> <html> <head><title>Form Results</title></head> <body> <h1>Form Results</h1> <form action='mailto:$Email?subject=user comments' method='post'enctype='text/plain'> <textarea name='Topic' rows=15 cols=90> idName: ". $idName\n; Firstname: ". $_POST["firstname"]\n; Surname: ". $_POST["surname"]\n; Address: ". $_POST["address"]\n; Email: ". $_POST["email"]\n; Phone no.: ". $_POST["phone"]\n; Your fitness level: ". $_POST["fitness"]\n; How often do you go to the gym: ". $_POST["goGym"]\n; Why do you go to the Gym: ". $_POST["whyGym"]; </textarea></br> <input type='submit' value='Send Thru Email'> </form> </body> </html> <?php } ?> Hia, I'm having a form, containing an image upload, a textarea and some other fields. I have a fileupload, where I check if the upload thingy is empty, with Code: [Select] if(empty($_POST['image'])) { echo "Error"; } else { //Do the imageUpload here } using the empty, isn't working for some reason, it proceed to the else anyway. Also, I have a textarea with name="productDesc", when I do: Code: [Select] <?php var_dump($_POST); ?> It doesn't return the textarea, and I can't see why it doesn't. Also the textarea proceed to the 'else' in the if else in the following code: http://codepad.org/wMd6SnoK Having a lot of questions these days Thank you guys! I have a form that generates html code, and displays it in a textarea with submit button. I want to submit button to take the data entered in that textarea1 on page 1, and upload to textarea2 on page 2 How can I do this? I have no idea where to start. Ok I have my login form and previously I was using $_SESSION untill I learned this removes data when browser is closed. Someone said to me to use cookies but I have no clue where to begin on setting a cookie or reading information from it. Can anyone point me to a tutorial on cookies? Hi all, I'm struggling with a program I'm trying to write with cookies, so any help would be very much appreciated!! What I'm wanting to do is when someone visits my site, I want to display content until the end of the day, and once the days up it disappears forever/until the cookies are deleted. Could someone help me with this? Thanks lots in advance, Jake Hey PHPFreaks! I have a problem with my login script, because when i login it sets a cookie and it all works. But when i got redirected and refresh the page, my script turns an error which says i'm not logged in? how come? This is what finds the cookie and redirects me Code: [Select] if(!isset($_SESSION['auth']) && !isset($_COOKIE['authcookie'])) { $_SESSION['ERROR'] = 7; header('location: index.php?login'); } if a user clicks ?hide=1 or ?hide=2 it does Code: [Select] if (isset($_GET['hide'])){ $id = intval($_GET['hide']); setcookie('hide', ''.$id.'',time()+32000000); header('Location: index.php'); exit; } How do I make it so if they click ?hide=1 it ad's 1, but what if they do ?hide=2 also? it would need to be 1,2 not just 2. I have a question about cookies I want the cookie to work on all the paths / folders / directorys located in a root path. So say like.. http://www.site.com/members/login.php is the folder which sets the cookie, then this cookie will also work on like.. http://www.site.com/bla/boo/works.php I'm trying to do: setcookie(Data1, 'valueofthecookie', '/', '.site.com', 1); But its not working... how can i set cookie like a*dm*n@**t*r*c**.*c** ?? Code: [Select] $cookkiee = $islem_1['mail'] ; $sayisi = strlen($cookkiee)-1 ; $cok = $islem_1['mail'] ; for($i=0;$i<=$sayisi;$i++) { $sifr = rand(0,2); if($sifr ==0) { $cok[$i]= '*'; } $dizik = $cok[$i]; setrawcookie("kayip",$dizik,time()+(60*30),"/"); $_COOKIE['kayip'] = $dizik; echo $dizi // etc . a*dm*n@**t*r*c**.*c** } echo $_COOKIE['kayip']; // etc. just one char being like random a I have part of my script that I have used many times in many diffrent applications that works just fine. But in this use it refuses to set the cookie or do anything besides the redirect for that matter. // if login is ok then we add a cookie $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $datem = date("j F Y, g:i a"); mysql_query("UPDATE YBK_Login SET date = '$datem' AND ip = '$ip' WHERE ID = '{{$info['ID']}'")or die(mysql_error()); $_POST['username'] = stripslashes($_POST['username']); $hour = time() + 3600; setcookie('ID_WatsonN', $_POST['username'], 0); setcookie('Key_WatsonN', $_POST['pass'], 0); setcookie('UID_WatsonN', $info['ID'], 0); setcookie('LOGIN', $info['ID'], time()+3); //then redirect them to the members area Header("Location: dashboard.php"); |
