PHP - Auto Fill Form In

Hi, I've got a pdf catalog which posts an order to a php form.

The idea is that that the php page looks like an order form that the client can check before finally hitting 'submit' (i.e. along the lines of go to shopping cart).
I'd like the php page to be editable. Meaning clients can not only look at their echoed order, but change it before committing to it.

So the catalog order gets put into a php submit form with editable fields.

I've read that others have accomplished this with statements like:

  Code: [Select]
value="<?php echo $clientName; ?>"
Which should fill the client name input box on the order form with the posted variable.

But it doesn't work properly for me, instead, the form field is filled with "<?xml version=" with the expected name on the line benath the input box and " /> on the line beneath that.

Placing the input box declaration entirely within php tags doesn't work either (exactly the same output).

Code: [Select]
<?php 
    echo ("Name: <input class=\"inputbox\" type=\"text\" name=\"clientName\"
maxlength=\"40\" value=\"$clientName\"><br>");
?>
Can anyone help?

Hi, 

I am using this code, what i want is to random fill up stepa field with either option a or option b every time i refresh the page, any help is highly appreciated!:

 

<form action="myc.php" method="get">

<label  for="element_1"> </label>
		<div>
		<select class="element select medium"  name="stepa"> 
			<option value="" selected="selected"></option>


<option value="option a" >Advanced Human option a</option>
<option value="option b">Advanced Human Option b</option>



		</select>
		</div> 

<br>
<input type="submit">
</form>

 

I have this form:    

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?

Greetings,

I am trying to create a basic booking system, for example there may be 3 events that a user can book. If the user clicks 'Book Now' on Event #1

I need it to take them to the HTML/PHP booking form with the information already entered that is relevant to Event #1 (Or whatever event they choose), such as the event name, time, date etc

I know how to create a contact form etc, its just the carrying of the information over to the form I dont know how to do.

Does anyone know if this is possible/ how it could be achieved?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

I'll start by saying that I am a very novice php programmer. But I am working on a file storage website, and I have it working and running properly, what you see here is on a new page called index2.php (Thought you might need to know) and full working version can be found here, http://www.jstpreview.net84.net now want I want the site to do is automatically generate a new .php or .html page once the user presses the "submit" button, I've looked through many tutorials to figure this out but anything I have tried so far didn't work. So anyways, the page generated should be named the name of the file uploaded plus the extension. I also want this page to be generated using a pre-uploaded template but if you look at the code, you will see that I havn't implemented that part yet.

Code: [Select]
<?php 
//Load the settings
require_once("settings.php");


$message = "";
//Has the user uploaded something?
if(isset($_FILES['file']))
{

$target_path = Settings::$uploadFolder;
$target_path = $target_path . time() . '_' . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']); 

//Check the password to verify legal upload
if($_POST['password'] != Settings::$password)
{
$message = "Invalid Password!";
}
else
{
//Try to move the uploaded file into the designated folder
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    $message = "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['file']['name']). 
    " has been uploaded";
} else{
    $message = "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
}
}

//Clear the array
unset($_FILES['file']);
}



if(strlen($message) > 0)
{
$message = '<p class="error">' . $message . '</p>';
}

/** LIST UPLOADED FILES **/
$uploaded_files = "";

//Open directory for reading
$dh = opendir(Settings::$uploadFolder);

//LOOP through the files
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) 
{
if($file != '.' && $file != '..')
{
$filename = Settings::$uploadFolder . $file;
$parts = explode("_", $file);
$size = formatBytes(filesize($filename));
$added = date("m/d/Y", $parts[0]);
$origName = $parts[1];
$filetype = getFileType(substr($file, strlen($file) - 3));
        $uploaded_files .= "<li class=\"$filetype\"><a href=\"$filename\">$origName</a> $size - $added</li>\n";
}
}
closedir($dh);

if(strlen($uploaded_files) == 0)
{
$uploaded_files = "<li><em>No files have been uploaded yet!</em></li>";
}

function getFileType($extension)
{
$images = array('jpg', 'gif', 'png', 'bmp');
$docs  = array('txt', 'rtf', 'doc');
$apps  = array('zip', 'rar', 'exe');

if(in_array($extension, $images)) return "Images";
if(in_array($extension, $docs)) return "Documents";
if(in_array($extension, $apps)) return "Applications";
return "";
}

function formatBytes($bytes, $precision = 2) { 
    $units = array('B', 'KB', 'MB', 'GB', 'TB'); 
   
    $bytes = max($bytes, 0); 
    $pow = floor(($bytes ? log($bytes) : 0) / log(1024)); 
    $pow = min($pow, count($units) - 1); 
   
    $bytes /= pow(1024, $pow); 
   
    return round($bytes, $precision) . ' ' . $units[$pow]; 
}

I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point out and fix the errors in this code, but it would be even more appreciated if someone could provide a working source code of auto-generation of pages on form submit.

Thanks in advanced

Can anyone please help me write out a php script exactly as described below?

In the submission form, users are required to filled in two infos,..
Name and email address.

As soon as the 'submit' button is been clicked, the php script should be able to grab the filled infos and stores it on the server in a txt file and at the same time, it should sends out confirmation email to the email address so filled in the submission form.

Also, can anyone devise a method as how to retrieve the message body of the confirmation email from the previous php script and then pass it on again to the display of the next page as when the submission button is clicked?

Thank you so much in advance.

Here goes. I am trying to retrieve info. from mySql database and update 3 textfields. I also have 4 selects on the form that need populating during the running of the program. My problem is using console I can see the info - Customer name - but it does not appear in the text field. The onchange request in the DIV container seems to be where it fails.

I have a form which creates a drop down list from data in a MySQL database. I would like to be able to have data from my database automatically populate based upon the selection from the list. How can I do that? Javascript? AJAX? Any help would be appreciated.


Code: [Select]
<?php $query2="SELECT tournament,id FROM 2011_Tournament";
$result2=mysql_query($query2);
echo "<select name=2011_Tournament value='tournament'>Tournament</option>";
while($tournament=mysql_fetch_array($result2)){
echo "<option value='$tournament[tournament]'>$tournament[tournament]</option>";
}
echo "</select>";?>

//php code
<?php
include_once('con.php');
if(!empty($_GET['search'])) {
$search = $connect->prepare('SELECT * FROM posts WHERE title LIKE :search');
$search->bindValue(':search', '%'.$_GET['search'].'%', PDO::PARAM_STR);
$search->execute();
?>
<?php
while($row = $search->fetch()) {?>
<li class="result" onClick="searchValue('<?php echo $row['title'];?>')"><?php echo $row['title'];?></li>    
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>

//ajax

$('#inputsch').keyup(function(){
	$.ajax({
	type: 'GET',
	url: 'fetch.php',
	data:'search='+$(this).val(),
	success: function(data){
		$('#box').show();
		$('#box').html(data);
	}
	});
}); 
});
function searchValue(val) {
$('#inputsch').val(val);
$('#box').hide();
}


//search box

 <form action="search.php">
 <input id="inputsch" type="text" name="search" placeholder="search..." autocomplete="off" autofocus>
 <button type="submit" value="search" >search</button> 
 </form>
 <div id="box"></div>


//the problem here is when i click the result is only added to input, but i want it to autosubmit

 

So a project I have simply to learn how it is done is to make an auto updating sitemap with a auto submitter. I have been doing a little research on sitemaps but haven't found much in the way of a tutorial or white paper or similar, anyway I was wondering if I am on the right track or not.

What I was thinking for the auto-updating sitemap is since site maps are XML, when an article is published using my custom CMS/Blogging system, I make it rewrite the sitemap appending the new URL that will be generated.

Then for the auto-submit, I can either make it a cron job or just manual press, but it would go though a for list of URLs, replacing the end part with my site map url. I think that is how it would be done.

If you have a better idea, or can point out an article so I can understand a lot more with sitemaps, I will appreciate it, I am trying to learn as much as possible, I have gone to the offical website (sitemaps.org) but it doesn't have what I am looking for.

Thanks,

James

I have a few questions that deal with cURL.

Question #1
Lets say I'm using cURL to fill out a form with multiple pages. Is cURL able to navigate through each page of the form retaining all the previous pages information until I reach the last page, then submit it all without losing any data?

Question #2
Lets just say theoretically I was trying to fill out a form with a CAPTCHA (which obviously I can't get past). Is there a way to display the web page with all the other information filled out, and just leave the CAPTCHA blank to be manually inputted?

I'm really just looking for yes/no answers, but it would be much appreciated if you are able to point me in the right direction as well! Thanks in advance!

$var=$_POST["fname"];            
$xmlDoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmlDoc->loadXML($var);

$root = $xmlDoc->documentElement;              
$elms = $root->getElementsByTagName("*");      


foreach ($elms as $item) {
  // gets the name and the value of each $item
  $tag = $item->nodeName;
  $value = $item->nodeValue;

  // outputs the $tag and $value
  echo $tag. ' = '. $value . '';


I want to use the code above to get all the xml files parent and child names and values
and get them into the database. is this going to work?
thanks in advance
