PHP - Send Post Form Data Through Php

Hi,

I am sending data from a form to a URL using $_GET but I would also like the user to be redirected to a thankyou page which is a different URL.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks,

The top half of this code works great ( where the HR line across ) now I'm trying to get it to post the some of the same data to another process script. I keep getting errors. can some please tell me what I'm doing wrong or missing.

<?php
function dataPost($fieldValue){
   //extract data from the post
   extract($_POST);

   //set POST variables
    $url = 'http://www.domain.com/processform1.phpp';
   
   $fields = array(
      'how_you_heard_about_us'=>$how_you_heard_about_us,
        'how_you_heard_about_us_other'=>$how_you_heard_about_us_other,
        'chk_atm_machines'=>$chk_atm_machines,
      'custom1'=>$custom1,
      'txt_business_adrss'=>$txt_business_adrss,
      'txt_city'=>$txt_city,
      'txt_state'=>$txt_state,
      'txt_zip'=>$txt_zip,
      'txt_country'=>$txt_country,
      'txt_phone'=>$txt_phone,
      'txt_fax'=>$txt_fax,
      'txt_website'=>$txt_website,
      'firstname'=>$firstname,
         );

   //url-ify the data for the POST
   foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
   rtrim($fields_string,'&');

   //open connection
   $ch = curl_init();

   //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
   curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
   curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
   curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);

   //execute post
   $result = curl_exec($ch);

   //close connection
   curl_close($ch);
                                    from here down I'm not to sure with.....

//create array of data to be posted
$post_data['firstname'] = 'firstname';
$post_data['custom1'] = 'custom1';
$post_data['txt_state'] = 'txt_state';
 
//traverse array and prepare data for posting (key1=value1)
foreach ( $post_data as $key => $value) {
    $post_items[] = $key . '=' . $value;
}
 
//create the final string to be posted using implode()
$post_string = implode ('&', $post_items);
 
//create cURL connection
$curl_connection =
  curl_init('http://www.domain.com/processform2.php');

//perform our request
$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);

How can I encrypt POST data from a form? Basically, I want to ensure that the data on the form is not in plain text ever. Is this possible?

<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="email" size="40">
<input type="password" name="password"/>
...


Basically, when this posts, I want to do a foreach on $_POST and see something like:
password = 1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f
  and not
password = stringTheUserTyped

I hope what I'm asking for is clear.

Thanks!

I have a form with lots of fields.

How would I run a loop to get each field name and data into an array, so i can then send it off to a function to process each field name / data differently. Instead of typing all the variables in the main function name for each post.

Would a foreach statement work?

Ok from one brick wall to the next. After lots of help with my last query I moved onto the next task an I'm completely stuck again.

I have a form thats created with a loop.  Here is that form


 <form action="" method="post" id="">
        <?php 
 for ($i = 1; $i <= $totalRows_rs_cacheNum; $i++) {
    echo "<label>Cache ".$i."</label>
          <span id='sprytextfield".$i."'>
         <input name='cache[$i]' type='text' value='".$_POST['cache[$i]']."'/>
         <span class='textfieldRequiredMsg'>Required!</span></span>
         <div class='clear'></div>";
}
?>
 <input name="nextbtn" type="submit" value="Next" />


When a user enters data in all the fields, If one piece of information is incorrect an error pops up saying one of the fields you entered does not match the fields in the database. At the same time however i wish to keep the data they have entered in each of the fields.

Normally you'd just write

value="<?php echo $_POST['fieldName'];?>"

but for some reason in this case it does not work. can someone point me in the right direction.  I've tried Google many different terms but I can not find the correct term to find my answer.  Hence me asking you guys again.

Thanks

ok..ive done this a million times..i have a working example here and i copied it and amended it for this new project but for some reason i cant get a form to post data to another page.

this is the error message i get

Notice: Undefined index: username in C:\wamp\www\uni\fyp\site\mobile\login.php on line 16

Notice: Undefined index: password in C:\wamp\www\uni\fyp\site\mobile\login.php on line 17

here is my form code:

                    <form method="post" action="login.php">
                        <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                        <tr>
                            <td style="vertical-align:top;">Username:&nbsp; </td><td><input type="text" name="username" value="" /></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                            <td style="vertical-align:top;">Password:&nbsp; </td><td><input type="password" name="password" value="" /><br /><input type="submit" id="submit" value="Login" /></td>
                        </tr>
                        </table>
                    </form>


and here is the code within the login.php where the form should post to

$username = $_POST['username'];

$password = $_POST['password'];

// Help protect against MySQL injection

$username = stripslashes($username);

$password = stripslashes($password);

$username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);

$password = mysql_real_escape_string($password);

// Selecting data from database where correct username and password are found

$sql="SELECT * FROM customer WHERE username='$username' and password='$password'";

$result=mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());



i cant see anything wrong..been looking for hours...please please help me

Hi,

I'm working on a web application that will interact with an existing website from another company.

On the other company's site, there will be a form (using POST) that has my web application as the action element. The user who clicked the submit button will be redirected to my site, where I need to receive the $_POST data from this form to process before redirecting into the web application.

I have done work on the other side, using standard form posts to send data to another site, but I've never had to write the code for the receiving end.

How do I receive the form data posted from the other website?  Can I access the $_POST[''] array as I would with any normal same-site POST transaction?

Please let me know if you need additional detail or if my question wasn't clear! I'm fast approaching deadlines and really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

Here's the code that deals with the client side:

<?php 
session_start(); 
if(!isset($_SESSION['Logged_in'])){
header("Location: /page.php?page=login");
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE Html>
<html>
<head>
<!--Connections made and head included-->
<?php require_once("../INC/head.php"); ?>
<?php require_once("../Scripts/DB/connect.php"); ?>
<!--Asynchronously Return User Names-->
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
function search(){
        var textboxvalue = $('input[name=search]').val();
        $.ajax(
        {
            type: "GET",
            url: 'search.php',
            data: {Search: textboxvalue},
            success: function(result)
            {
                $("#results").html(result);
            }
        });
};​
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header-wrapper">
<?php include_once("../INC/nav2.php"); ?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<h1 style="color: red; text-align: center;">Member Directory</h1>
<form onsubmit="search()">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<label for="search">Search for User:</label>
<input type="text" size="70px" id="search" name="search">
</form>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="index.php?do=">Show All Users</a>|<a href="index.php?do=ONLINE">Show All Online Users</a>
<div id="results">
<!--Results will be returned HERE!-->
</div>

  search.php 

<?php
//testing if data is sent ok
echo "<h1>Hello</h1><br>" . $_GET['search'];
?>

This is the link I get after sending foo.    http://www.family-li...php?&search=foo   Is that mean it was sent, but I'm not processing it correctly? I'm new to the whole AJAX thing.

Hey Guys. I am working with a form that shows the grand total on the checkout page. The value of the grand total is inside a hidden field. When click on  submit, the _POST array doesn't get back the last value of the grand total. I need to hit the button twice to get the last value. The weird thing is when I  echo the value of the grand total it display the latest value, but not with the POST array   For example. If the grand total is $10.00 and I click on submit. It will show the POST['grand_total'] as empty. If I click on submit again it will show the grand total of $10.00. Below is my code that I am working with. Any help would be really appreciated.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
/* Doesn't show if i put it after if($_POST['submit'] */
if(isset($_POST['grand_total'])) {
echo $_POST['grand_total'];
}

}

//A bunch of other html/php code. Another class calculates the subtotal assigns it the variable $subtotal



$cart_totals = new cartTotals($subtotal, $discounted_amount,$post_values->tip); // Cart class is shown below

/* Doesn't show if i put it before if($_POST['submit'] */
if(isset($_POST['grand_total'])) {
echo $_POST['grand_total'];
}
echo  "<input name='grand_total' type='hidden' value='$cart_totals->grand_total'  />"; // Shows the grand total after second from submission
echo "$cart_totals->grand_total"; // Shows grand total after the first submission

Hey,

I'm trying to send a form input to a page, and then get the response (as in, the body) from that page without leaving my PHP script.

So instead of when you normally submit a form and it will take you to the 'action="/somepage"'. I want it to get that information and bring it back to the original page. No navigation should happen.

I'm almost certain this is possible, but the only thing I've found at the moment requires a custom addon - which, isn't on most hosting sites.

Sorry if I haven't described this very well, but any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I have a form on our website that a user can fill out for custom product.  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.  If I just overlooked, please tell me the thread post #.  Thanks

I am successfully doing this, however, I believe I am doing it wrong.  I am currently doing the following.  How should I be doing this?  My thought is getObject.php should return JSON, not JavaScript, but I don't know how to assign the received JSON to the myObj variable.  Thanks
