PHP - Pre-populating Field With Data That The User Just Entered. (registration Form)
I'm building a php program that registers users onto a website. With the help of people from this thread http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=332260.15
I was able to accomplish the goal and now the signup works with conditions that check for a valid email, and if the password is strong enough. T he program correctly displays the the problem when a user does NOT enter a valid email, or a strong enough password, but the user has to re-enter the email and password everytime. I want to make it so that the fields remained populated with what the user entered previously, so he or she does not have to re-enter his or her email/password. Here is the code (its really ghetto) Code: [Select] <?php function check_email_address($email) { // First, we check that there's one @ symbol, and that the lengths are right if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) { // Email invalid because wrong number of characters in one section, or wrong number of @ symbols. return false; } // Split it into sections to make life easier $email_array = explode("@", $email); $local_array = explode(".", $email_array[0]); for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($local_array); $i++) { if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) { return false; } } if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) { // Check if domain is IP. If not, it should be valid domain name $domain_array = explode(".", $email_array[1]); if (sizeof($domain_array) < 2) { return false; // Not enough parts to domain } for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($domain_array); $i++) { if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])|([A-Za-z0-9]+))$", $domain_array[$i])) { return false; } } } return true; } define('DB_NAME', 'catch'); define('DB_USER', 'username'); define('DB_PASS', 'password'); define('DB_HOST', 'page.sqlserver.com'); // contact to database $connect = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASS) or die('Error , check your server connection.'); mysql_select_db(DB_NAME); //Get data in local variable $v_name=$_POST['name']; $v_email=$_POST['email']; $v_msg=$_POST['msg']; if ( check_email_address($_POST['name']) == false) { $query = "INSERT INTO contact(name,email,msg) VALUES ('$v_name','$v_email','$v_msg')"; $result = mysql_query( $query ); if( !$result ) { die( mysql_error() ); } echo <<<EOD <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://hedgezoo.com/signup.css"> </head> <h2>Free Registration</h2> <form action="contact_insert2.php" method="POST" id="insert"> <table> <tr> <td>Email</td> <td ><input type="text" size="40" name="name"></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password</td> <td><input type="password" size="40" name="msg" ></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan=2 id="sub"> You must enter a valid email. <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"> </td> </tr> </Table> </form> EOD;

Query About How To Retrieve A Password From The Database And Compare To The One The User Has Entered
I have read around and can't seem to find the right coding for what I need on this forum and some other other forums. I have a contact form (as listed below) and I need 2 locations (Print Name and Title) fields to auto-populate on a separate form (can be a doc, pdf, etc. any form of document which is easiest) and this form can be totally back end and the individual using the form never is going to see the form. It's going on a contract form, that we would like to auto-populate. Also is there a simple attachment code so individuals can attach documents to the code? <p style: align="center"><form action="mailtest.php" method="POST"> <?php $ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR"); $httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER"); $httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT"); ?> <input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" /> <div align="center"> <p class="style1">Name</p> <input type="text" name="name"> <p class="style1">Address</p> <input type="text" name="address"> <p class="style1">Email</p> <input type="text" name="email"> <p class="style1">Phone</p> <input type="text" name="phone"> <p class="style1">Debtor</p> <input type="text" name="debtor"> <p class="style1">Debtor Address</p> <input type="text" name="debtora"> <br /> <br /> <a href="authoforms.php" target="_blank" style="color:#ffcb00" vlink="#ffcb00">Click here to view Assignment Agreement and Contract Agreement</a> <p class="style1"><input type='checkbox' name='chk' value='I Have read and Agree to the terms.'> I have read and agree to the Assignment and Contract Agreement <br></p> <p class="style1">Print Name</p> <input type="text" name="pname"> <p class="style1">Title</p> <input type="text" name="title"> <p class="style1">I hear by agree that the information I have provided is true, accurate and the information I am submitting is <br /> not fraudulent.

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" . $i . '" ></td> But line 17 for example returns this: <input type="text" value="17" name="ptaf17" maxlength="3" size="6"> To recap, I am trying to have the value set to whatever the customer may have entered previously. Again, I would most appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you need clarification on anything please let me know. Thanks AJ I need help with this ASAP!!! I pretty sure my boss will fire me if I can not figure this out tonight... PLEASE HELP! I am a graphic designer and not a programmer... PLEASE HELP ME!!! My form will not display the echoed message ("Please fill in all required (*) feilds", "Maximum length for username is 25 characters", etc.) when I hit submit... It wouldn't even show the variables when I tried to just have the form only echo the various strings... nothing appeared... the only way I could get the string values to appear was through a array like this: if(is_array($_POST)){ echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; } ^^This returned the data fine... but when I try to echo on particular string and not using the array, nothing appears... This is crucial as this is how the custom error messages are displayed...

Anyone can help me? BTW I can manually query in the information using sql with phpmyadmin. so can someone please review my code for me? thanks big help! You can see what is happening.

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. Hi, I want to add another form field to determine if a user is human and not spam bots. I looked into CAPTCHA, but I think those are annoying. I was thinking about just having the user enter (5+5) and if the answer is not ten, then displaying a incorrect value message. If correct submit form and info to the Database. Not sure how to do that with what I currently have coded though so need some help with that part. Here is the current code. <?PHP require_once "formvalidator.php"; $show_form=true; if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) { $validator = new FormValidator(); $validator->addValidation("FirstName","req","Please fill in FirstName"); $validator->addValidation("LastName","req","Please fill in LastName"); $validator->addValidation("UserName","req","Please fill in UserName"); $validator->addValidation("Password","req","Please fill in a Password"); $validator->addValidation("Password2","req","Please re-enter your password"); $validator->addValidation("Password2","eqelmnt=Password","Your passwords do not match!"); $validator->addValidation("email","email","The input for Email should be a valid email value"); $validator->addValidation("email","req","Please fill in Email"); $validator->addValidation("Zip","req","Please fill in your Zip Code"); $validator->addValidation("Security","req","Please fill in your Security Question"); $validator->addValidation("Security2","req","Please fill in your Security Answer"); if($validator->ValidateForm()) { $con = mysql_connect("localhost","beatthis","Jim2Drew!") or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("beatthis_beatthis") or die(mysql_error()); $FirstName=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['FirstName']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $LastName=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['LastName']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $UserName=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['UserName']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $Password= md5($_POST['Password']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $Password2= md5($_POST['Password2']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $email=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $Zip=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Zip']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $Birthday=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Birthday']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $Security=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Security']); //This value has to be the same as in the HTML form file $Security2=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['Security2']);

What I'm trying to do is save a value from a URL to populate a field on a form, but then I also want the value to be saved to the users cache so that is available to other pages on the site. Then once returning to the page with the form the field will repopulate with the data from the cache. I hope that makes sense. example of link: www.awebsite.com/pagename?id=1234 I know I can use Code: [Select] $_GET["id"]; to read the value in the URL and populate the field on the form. What I don't know how to do is save the value to the cache and then load it from cache automatically if the page doesn't have the value in the link. Any help would be appreciated. Hi! I'm attempting to do this and feel that I'm fairly close. Would you take a look and throw me any bones? PHP Code: Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['ppassword']) && (stristr($string,'') === TRUE)) { switch($_POST['ppassword']) { case "Google": header("Location: http://www.google.com"); exit(); case "Yahoo": header("Location: http://www.yahoo.com"); exit(); case "Bing": header("Location: http://www.bing.com"); exit(); } } ?> The Form: Code: [Select] <form name="portal" id="portal" method="post" action=""> <input name="ppassword" type="text" id="ppassword" maxlength="25" onfocus="this.select()" onblur="this.value=!this.value?'company name':this.value;" value="company name" onclick="this.value=''" /> <input name="login" type="submit" id="login" value="Continue" /> </form> I appreciate any of your help. I feel close and this part Code: [Select] (stristr($string,'') feels like the missing piece of the puzzle. Code what i made so far.

Edited by jacob21, 16 October 2014 - 08:31 AM. Hi, after following lots of advice and changing to MySqli I am running into a few probs. This is me just probably missing something stupid, I know what I want, but can't figure out what query I should use and where I should place it. All the queries I have tried have failed.
I just need a query that gets the $current_stored_password from the password field on the database, to confirm the last check
elseif
($current_password !== $current_stored_password) {
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
echo $current_password . ' AND ' . $_POST['current_password'] . ' Password and password again do not match';
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
}
Here is the whole script.
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(0);
//ini_set('display_errors', '1');
require( 'database.php' );
$username = $_SESSION['loggedinuser'];
$current_stored_password = $_SESSION['password'];
$current_password = $_POST['current_password'];
$password = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, md5( $_POST['password']));
$password_again = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, md5( $_POST['password_again']));
// Run checks
if (isset($_POST['current_password'], $_POST['password'], $_POST['password_again'])) {
if( strlen( $_POST['current_password'] ) < 8 )
{
include('includes/overall/header.php');
echo "Password Must Be 8 or More Characters.";
include('includes/overall/footer.php');
}
elseif( strlen( $_POST['password'] ) < 8 )
{
include('includes/overall/header.php');
echo "Password Must Be 8 or More Characters.";
include('includes/overall/footer.php');
}
elseif
( strlen( $_POST['password_again'] ) < 8 )
{
include('includes/overall/header.php');
echo "Password Must Be 8 or More Characters.";
include('includes/overall/footer.php');
}
elseif
($password !== $password_again) {
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
echo ' Password and password again do not match';
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
}
elseif
($current_password !== $current_stored_password) {
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
echo $current_password . ' AND ' . $_POST['current_password'] . ' Password and password again do not match';
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
} else {
// Define a query to run
$query = "UPDATE `user` SET `password` = '$password' WHERE `username` = '$username'";
// Query the database
$result = mysqli_query($con,$query);
// Check if the query failed
if( !$result )
{
die('There was a problem executing the query ('.$query.'):<br>('.mysqli_errno($con).') '.mysqli_error($con));
}
else {
include 'includes/overall/header.php';
echo 'Password has been changed';
include 'includes/overall/footer.php';
}
}
}
// Close the connection
mysqli_close($con);
?>
At the moment the message displayed when the form is submitted is
echo $current_password . ' AND ' . $_POST['current_password'] . ' Password and password again do not match';How do I retrieve the password from the database to compare against the current password entered by the user? Any help is much appreciated. PS. Yes I know I have repeated code and that md5 is not secure, but I am just building onto a template I got and will be making changes to shorten the code and secure the password soon New to php and starting to feel way in over my head. Please help, point me in the right direction here. How do i create a new folder with a index.html like (www.mydomain.com/NEWUSER/index.html) when a user registers for my site and have it do live check for AVAILABILITY? I want to give my users a unique url for there profile. how then do i automate the creation of x.com/newuser/index.html and write it with the users input from my database at the same time? Hi Can anyone help with this problem it seems very simple, I am not an experienced PHP coder but keen to progress. I am trying to create a User Registration project but have a problem. every time I try to login using mysqli_fetch_assoc it drops through to my error Invalid Email /Password it seems that the mysqli code is not working correctly but I do not understand this function enough can anyone help. I have attached the coding if this helps. This is the function
function Login_Attempt($Email,$Password){
This is the code I am using Login.php
<?php require_once("Include/Session.php"); ?>
<br><input type="Submit" Name="Submit" value="Login"><br> Hope this Helps Ossieboy
Im trying to build mysql php user registration. For some reason i cannot insert values into my database. Code: [Select] <?php $submit = $_POST['submit']; $fullname = strip_tags($_POST['fullname']); $username = strip_tags($_POST['username']); $password = strip_tags($_POST['password']); // Connect the database $connection = mysql_connect("bla", "bla", "bla") or die ("Could not connect"); mysql_select_db("my_db", $connection); // mysql query $query = "INSERT INTO users VALUES (''.

Feel free to move this post if it is in the incorrect category. I was using a validation method for usernames on my website but I would like to make some improvements on it. You typed in your name and it would search and pop-up whether it was available or not. I am looking for a method similar to the one used on this website and many others that checks when the field loses focus. The php code and easiest example I have found is he http://shawngo.com/wp/blog/gafyd/index.html Code: [Select] $username = $_POST['username']; // get the username $username = trim(htmlentities($username)); // strip some crap out of it $file = '/home/js4hire/public_html/gafyd/data.csv'; // Here's the file. Notice the full path. echo check_username($file,$username); // call the check_username function and echo the results. function check_username($file_in,$username){ $username=strtolower($username); $file = file($file_in); foreach ($file as $line_num => $line) { $line = explode(',',$line); $user = trim(str_replace('"','',$line[0])); if($username == strtolower($user)){ return '<span style="color:#f00">Username Unavailable</span>'; } } return '<span style="color:#0c0">Username Available</span>'; } That example uses a flat file CSV, but I would like to use my MySQL database instead. I have included a snippet from my previous that I believe would tie into this, I'm just not sure how exactly: Code: [Select] require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../includes/common.inc.php'; require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../includes/user_functions.inc.php'; $output=''; if (!empty($_POST['user'])) { $user=sanitize_and_format($_POST['user'],TYPE_STRING,$__field2format[FIELD_TEXTFIELD]); if (get_userid_by_user($user) || $user=='guest') { $output=1; } } echo $output; That common.inc.php calls for the database connection in session.inc.php: Code: [Select] $josh_dblink=db_connect(_DBHOST_,_DBUSER_,_DBPASS_,_DBNAME_); if (!defined('NO_SESSION')) { require _BASEPATH_.'/includes/sessions.inc.php'; } I don't want to have to call the db connection again in that file but I need to get the relevant information and pass it through the php. Any help would be appreciated! I'm trying to teach myself how to use functions and includes in my scripts. As an exercise I am trying to create a registration system that I can re-use on other future projects. I have my main register.php page as follows: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" /> <title>Register</title> </head> <body> <?php ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('log_errors', 1); ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt'); error_reporting(E_ALL); // Check to see if query string is set, if not pass empty array to function. if((!isset($_GET['success'])) && (!isset($_GET['active'])) && (!isset($_GET['valid']))) { include ('registerform.php'); $invalidcode = array(); regform($invalidcode); } //If success is set, use value to determine response if(isset($_GET['success'])) { if($_GET['success'] == "false") { echo "There has been an error with your registration. You will be redirected to the registration page in 5 SECONDS."; echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content =\"5; URL=index.php\">"; } if($_GET['success'] == "true") { echo "Thanks for registering. An activation email has been sent to your registered email address.<br />"; echo "Please check you email and follow the activation link contained within it."; } } //if active is set, determine response (note: code to be added here in future) if(isset($_GET['active'])) { if($_GET['active'] == "true") { echo "Thank you for activating this account.<br />"; echo "You may now return to the home page and login!"; } } //if valid is set there was a problem with the form validation. //get valid from query string, convert back to an array and pass array to the form display script if(isset($_GET['valid'])) { $invalidcode = $_GET['valid']; $invalidcode = unserialize(urldecode($invalidcode)); include ('registerform.php'); regform($invalidcode); } ?> </body> </html> When the page loads it first checks for any variables passed in the url to determine action. Heres the code for the function regform(): <?php function regform($errors) { //set variables to initial value to prevent undefined variable error $errors0 = 0; $errors1 = 0; $errors2 = 0; $errors3 = 0; $errors4 = 0; $errors5 = 0; $errors6 = 0; $errors7 = 0; //check to make sure the array that was passed was not empty //from my validation script the errors are in matching order to the display on this page. //I have only prepared 2 errors for this inital testing, there will be one for each field on the form. $i = count($errors); if($i > 0){ $errors0 = $errors[0]; $errors1 = $errors[1]; //$errors2 = $errors[2]; //$errors3 = $errors[3]; //$errors4 = $errors[4]; //$errors5 = $errors[5]; //$errors6 = $errors[6]; //$errors7 = $errors[7]; } echo "<form id='register' name='register' method='post' action='doreg.php' >"; echo "<table>"; //if the variable = 1 there was an error validating the field in the validate script if($errors0 == 1){ echo "<tr><td><font color='red'>First Name</font></td><td><input type='text' name='firstname' /></td><tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>First Name</td><td><input type='text' name='firstname' /></td><tr>"; } if($errors1 == 1){ echo "<tr><td><font color='red'>Last Name</font></td><td><input type='text' name='lastname' /></td><tr>"; } else { echo "<tr><td>Last Name</td><td><input type='text' name='lastname' /></td><tr>"; } //additional errors to be added, as per abov,e for the code below echo "<tr><td>Email Address</td><td><input type='text' name='email' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Password</td><td><input type='password' name='password1' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Confirm Password</td><td><input type='password' name='password2' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Accept Terms?</td><td><input type='checkbox' name='accept' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td>Security String</td><td><input type='text' name='secstring' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type='submit' name='submit' value='submit' /></td><tr>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td><input type='hidden' name='form_submit' value='1' /></td><tr>"; echo "</table>"; echo "</form>"; } ?> So the form takes the array ?valid passed to the register page and determines which fields had a validation error and highlights them red. (I'll modify this highlighting to be what ever I need later...just testing my logic ) The form then calls doreg.php on submit. This will firstly run the validate script, then perform DB actions if all ok, else it will return to register with the error array passed in a query string: <?php if($_POST['form_submit'] == 1) { include ('validate.php'); //the validate script returns $errorarray. Need to figure out better way to test values to determine if any error flags are set if(($errorarray[0]!=0) or ($errorarray[1]!=0) or ($errorarray[2]!=0)) { $errorarray = urlencode(serialize($errorarray)); echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=\"0; URL=register.php?valid=$errorarray\">" ; } echo "<meta http-equiv=refresh content=\"0; URL=register.php?success=true\">"; } ?> php] And finally there is the actual validation script. I was hoping to be able to use this for all form validations across the site. I'll just add if(isset) for the various form fields and make sure I standardize my field names across my sites forms. [php] <?php $errorarray = array(); if($_POST['firstname'] == "") { $errorarray[0] = 1; } else {$errorarray[0] = 0; } if($_POST['lastname'] == "") { $errorarray[1] = 1; } else {$errorarray[1] = 0; } if($_POST['email'] == "") { $errorarray[2] = 1; } else {$errorarray[2] = 0; } return $errorarray; ?> For this example I have just done simple empty string checks. I'd really appreciate any advice on the code I've written to date. Im quite sure there are more elegant ways to achieve what these scripts do and I would greatfully accept any feedback. (Be gentle...I'm new ) Thanks |
