PHP - Highlighting Text Field When Button Is Clicked
I have a comment section. It is comprised of 3 major files. One file creates the form where you fill in your name and comment. Another file sends your comment to the DB. The third file displays the already existing comments on the page. You have the option to reply to the existing comments on the page. When you click the reply button I would like the comment text box to light up so the user knows its working but I have hit a brick wall.
This is the comment form the user actually types into:
<div id="comment-container" > <form id="comment_form" action="/comm_1/post_comment.php" method='post' onsubmit=" return validateForm()"> <table> <tr> <td id="error"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><textarea name="comment_body" id='comment_body' placeholder="Comment"></textarea></td> </tr> <?php if(!$username && !$userid): ?> <tr> <td><input type="text" name="name" class="input_style" placeholder="Name"/> <input type="submit" id="loginbtn" value="Or Login" onclick="window.location='/login_scripts/login.php'" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td><input type="email" name="email" class="input_style" placeholder="Email"/></td> </tr> <?php endif; ?> <?php if($username && $userid): ?> <input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($username) ?>"/> <input type="hidden" name="email" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($email) ?>"/> <?php endif; ?> <tr> <input type='hidden' name='parent_id' id='parent_id' value='0'/> <td><input type="submit" name="submitbtn" id="submitbtn" value="Add comment"/></td> </tr> </table> </form>This how the existing comments are displayed on the page: You can see on line 7 is the button to the reply to a comment. When this is clicked I need the "comment_body" from the above code to highlight. <?php function getComments($row) { echo "<li class='comment'>"; echo "<div class='aut'>".$row['author']."</div>"; echo "<div class='timestamp'>".$row['created_at']."</div>"; echo "<div class='comment-body'>".$row['comment']."</div>"; echo "<a href='#comment_form' name='replybtn' class='reply' id='".$row['id']."'>Reply</a></script>"; $q = "SELECT * FROM threaded_comments WHERE parent_id = ".$row['id'].""; $r = mysql_query($q); echo "</li>"; if(mysql_num_rows($r)>0) { echo "<ul>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($r)) { getComments($row); } echo "</ul>"; } } ?>I tried this with JS, but it does not work: $(function(){ $("a.reply").click(function() { var id = $(this).attr("id"); $("#parent_id").attr("value", id); $("#comment_body").focus(); }); }); Edited by ryanmetzler3, 26 January 2015 - 09:48 PM. Similar TutorialsHi, I need to make it so the items on my page are only displayed if the value in their database column is set to 1 (and 0 for no display). And I should be able to change those values with a checkbox toggle on my admin panel. Ideally I wouldn't have to click submit either. Table: <table id="datatables" class="table table-striped table-no-bordered table-hover" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="width:100%"> <thead> <tr> <th>ID</th> <th>Item name</th> <th>Item group</th> <th>Actions</th> <th>Display</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <?php if($result -> num_rows > 0){ while($row = $result-> fetch_assoc()){ echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" . $row["id"] ."</td>"; echo "<td>" . $row["item_name"]. "</td>"; echo "<td>" . $row["group_name"] ."</td>"; ?> <?php require_once "deleteitem.php"; ?> <td> <a href="edititem.php?edit=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" name="edit"><i class="material-icons">edit</i></a> <a href="?delete=<?php echo $row['id']; ?>" name="delete"><i class="material-icons">delete</i></a> </td> <td> <form action="displayitem.php" method="POST"> <div class="togglebutton"> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="display"> <span class="toggle"></span> </label> </div> </form> </td> <?php echo "</tr>"; } } ?> </tbody> </table> https://i.imgur.com/Qyz6s8v.png In displayitem.php <?php if(isset($_POST['display'])){ echo '<p>'.$_POST['display'].'</p>'; // queries etc here } ?> I'm not getting the value here unless I add a submit button. Guessing jQuery / AJAX is the way to go but can't seem to find any good tutorials on it, are there any other suitable approaches to this?
Hey guys, I am a webmaster for my church and I am fairly new to PHP. What am trying to is when a visitor goes to our radio ministry page and clicks a button which the message number is displayed in the read only textbox, it will go to my request CD page and auto populate the message number in that text field form the readonly text field from the previous page. I will show my code for both pages for you to review. This is the Radio page (where I want to take the message number value from) 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> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="Living Word Community Church radio ministry" /> <meta name="keywords" content="reformed radio fort worth, reformed radio dallas, biblical radio fort worth, biblical radio dfw" /> <title>In Light of Scripture-Radio Ministry</title> <link href="_css/Main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script src="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link href="SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div class="header"><a href="index.php"><img src="_images/LWCCWeb.jpg" alt="Insert Logo Here" name="Insert_logo" width="960" height="200" id="Insert_logo" style="background: #D8BF78; display:block;" /></a> <?php include("_includes/header.php"); ?> <div class="sidebar1"> <p></p> <table width="150" border="0" cellpadding="10" align="left"> <tr> <td><a href="directions.php"><img src="_images/ChurchBox.png" width="150" height="125" alt="Directions" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="_images/Service Times.png" width="150" height="778" alt="Service Times" /></td> </tr> </table> <!-- end .sidebar1 --></div> <div class="content"> <div id="radio"></div> <table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="10"> <tr> <td><img src="_images/ILOS.png" width="600" height="111" alt="In Light of Scripture" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style=" padding-top:25px"><p><font size="5"><b>In Light of Scripture</b> has been locally broadcast for more than 25 years.<br /> This Sunday morning radio program features the expositional teaching of Pastor Stan McGehee Jr. </font><p/></td> </tr> </table> <div id="mediagraph"><a href="http://kdkr.org" target="_blank"><img src="_images/kdkr.jpg" width="300" height="200" alt="Braodcast on KDKR 91.3 Sunday Mornings at 7:30" /></a></div> <br /><br /> <font size="2"><p align="center"><b>The sermon featured this week on "In Light of Scipture" is</b></p></font> <font size="2"><p align="center" style="color:#711726"><b><i>Peace Despite Tribulation</i></b></p></font> <div id="messagenumber" align="center"> <form action="" method="get" name="messagenumber"> <input name="" type="text" value="JR-843" size="6" readonly="readonly" /> <input name="GetMessage" type="button" value="Get Message" /> </form> </div> <!-- end .content --></div></div> <div class="sidebar2"> <table width="150" border="0" cellpadding="16" align="left"> <tr> <td><a href="reformation.php"><img src="_images/MenuBox1.png" width="150" height="125" alt="What Do We Mean by Reformed?" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="ServiceTimesAndCal.php"><img src="_images/MenuBox2.png" width="150" height="125" alt="Worship Service Schedule and Calendar" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="radio.php"><img src="_images/MenuBox3.png" width="150" height="125" alt="In Light of Scripture Radio Ministry" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="cable.php"><img src="_images/MenuBox4.png" width="150" height="125" alt="Living Word Today Cable Program" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="Sermons.php"><img src="_images/MenuBox5.png" width="150" height="125" alt="Listen to Sermons Online" /></a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.lwcchurch.org/blog/" target="_blank"><img src="_images/MenuBox6.png" width= "150" height="125" alt="Read our reformed blog" /></a></td> </tr> </table> <!-- end .sidebar2 --></div> <?php include("_includes/footer.php"); ?> <!-- end .container --></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var MenuBar1 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar1", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"}); var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", {imgDown:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarDownHover.gif", imgRight:"SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarRightHover.gif"}); </script> </body> </html> This is for the CD request form.

I am very limited in php code. All I know is from what little I have used My Custom Functions plugin. Please be very detailed. This stored procedure I run truncates and re-populates a number of tables I use for various reports. I am pulling data from the wp db and creating tables in the external db which make the data easier to read than through the wp meta data. The tables are housed in a separate db so as not to slow down the wp db. The hosting company does not allow 'Events' to run on the mySql db so I am left with figuring out how to create a cron job using a php file which would be the best. Aside from that, I thought a button on an admin page for execution would make it easier if I have to do it be hand. Thanks for your help. Hi, I am new to PHP world!! I am just trying to find a way to disable a button after its been clicked for lets say 5 minutes. I have searched google and haven't found what I am looking for. I just dont want the users to be able to refresh the page and the button becomes enabled again. any code examples with explanation or a simple tutorial will be much appreciated. Thanks Hi All, I am trying to create a search system - in which part of it I would like to highlight the matched terminology from the relative $_POST value that is coming from the search box. The SQL that I am using to get the query results is: Code: [Select] select * from queue where id like '%$searchvalue%' or subject like '%$searchvalue%' or body like '%$searchvalue%' This returns any rows that include like $searchvalue. So if $searchvalue was say "linux" - I would like the code to highlight the word Linux on the page. I am displaying the results on the page using an MSSQL_FETCH_ARRAY, but only displaying the ID and subject fields. Hope that makes sense? Thanks Matt Is it possible to have a text field on my site, and the text that is entered into it, be given to another site that I auto redirect the user to? If it is possible, could somebody give me the exact code (I'm not a programmer) I would need to use? Thanks for any help on this. This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=331164.0 I know with a submit button I can have a new record created when clicking it, but is it possible to do with a text link? I feel like a moron asking this question as it seems to be one of the most common things done with php but I cannot find a tutorial (probably because I don't know the correct wording to search under) on this specific thing.. Anyhow. I'm spitting out a list of the Titles of my test table like so (and its working as expected): <?php $posting_sql = "SELECT * FROM postings"; $posting_results = (mysqli_query($cxn, $posting_sql)) or die("Was not able to grab the Postings!"); while($posting_row = mysqli_fetch_array($posting_results)) { echo "<li><a href='posting_details.php'>$posting_row[title]</a></li>"; } ?> Now as you can see: <a href='posting_details.php'> I am calling a new page, and that page contains this: <h2><?php echo "$posting_row[title]"; ?></h2> <p><?php echo "$posting_row[description]"; ?></p> It's no surprise it's not working (with many variations etc), but I am only familiar with using <form> GET or POST, and these of course are not form elements, so I cant seem to call them the same way. My suspicion (and from the research data I could find) is that I need to pass values in my link: <a href='posting_details.php'> ... I could not get it to work, but I was trying variations like: <a href='posting_details.php?get[title&get[description]]'> but it seems like I am screwing things up even more by doing this.. Anyhow. If anyone could show me a tutorial that covers this specifically or some suggestions on the best approach to this would be much appreciated.. Hi i have this edit form that allows user to mofy data but the problems on the text box is that it deletes the rest of the data after the space from the first word i tried to increase the size of the varChars on mysql but did no work why it happens how can i stop from happening?? this the form input <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class='text_box' value="<?php echo $_GET['name'];?>"/> Hi there once again, sry for previous wrong section, i guess this time i'm on the right place ;p Well i need following: I have few forms (input fields) with requested informations, also i have other .php file which i'm calling to send a form. Now i need to know how can i do a check for those fields if they are empty or not. If they are, i need to STOP submiting the form (calling the other .php). Codes: Form: Code: [Select] <form name="f1" form method="post" action="posalji.php"/>Field: Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="hp1" size="20"/>Submit: Code: [Select] <input name="f1" type="image" src="registruj.png" onclick="if(f1.hp1.value.length==0) alert('Error: field can't be empty'); else f1.submit(); if(f1.hp2.value.length==0) alert('Error: field can't be empty'); else f1.submit();"/>There are more than one field, that's why you can see more errors in submit. Well all i need is "die" or "stop" calling the "posalji.php" from action above. Sry 4 poor english. Hi People. I am building a logbook application and have a form field where the user will enter a date. However, I would like to simplify it for the user and give them a button which would add "todays" date into the box for them. Please could someone tell me the code to do so. The date format in my DB is YYYY-MM-DD. The form would also need to take input from the user if they were adding info from a different day instead of today. Thanks in advance. Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="date" id="date" size = "25"/> </label> <input type="submit" name="today" id="today" value="Add Today" /> Hello all , here is another problem of my project.

I’m trying to construct a button that simply writes an "aleph" character into a text area, see below.
My code does not work, can anyone tell me why ? How should I fix it ?
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <head> <title>Example</title> <script type="text/javascript"> //JavaScript code goes here function insertAtEnd(text) { var theArea = document.getElementById("thisArea"); theArea.value += '' + text + '';; } </script> </head> <body> <input type="button" id="aleph" name="aleph" value="Write an aleph" onClick="javascript:insertAtEnd(\'<span>א</span>\');return(false)" /> <textarea id="thisArea"> </textarea> </body> </html> Hello, I have a field in which when a user types something into it, it saves it into a table in my SQL. But is it possible to remove a particular phrase from the field if the user enters it. Example: I have a text field that says 'please enter your website domain here'. The user then enters 'www.domain.com'. Is it possible for PHP to remove the 'www.' and only save the 'domain.com' to my SQL (bearing in mind that not all users may enter www.) Here is the code for the text field: Code: [Select] <input name="website_name" type="text" class="text-box" id="website_name" value="<?php echo $website_name; ?>" size="24" /> Here is the code for the _POST: if(isset($_POST['send'])) { $database->updateUserField($session->username, "website_name", $_POST['website_name']); } (the code so far all works fine - I just want to add an extra 'variable', if you will, to the code) Thanks for your help!! Hi all, I am relatively new to coding but wondered if someone can helpe me with this. I currently have a PHP file which outputs text that has been entered into a text box and saved. The original output code was this: if ( $this->theme->conf->item_description AND $this->doc->data->dmdescription ) : <?php echo $this->doc->data->dmdescription;?> but I want the text that shows to be truncated to say, 100 characters plus '...' so I came up with the following... <?php $someText = ($this->doc->data->dmdescription);?> <?php echo(substr($someText, 0,100)).'...'; ?> However it shows nothing. I guess $someText is bing linked to dmdescription rather than the text within dmdescription? Any ideas greatly appreciated! bplumb I have a form that you can add email boxes and recipients to. when you add the boxes it actually submits. I did it this way to change the session that determines how many boxes you get. The problem is if I (as a web user) have entered X number of emails and recipients then submit to add another set of text fields then how can I keep the 3 already entered populated? <?php $start = $_SESSION['NOCStart']; $stop = $_SESSION['NOCStop']; for($m = $start; $m < $stop; $m++){ echo " <tr> <td>$m: <input id='text' type='text' name='invEmail[]' value='WHATS GOES HERE??' /></td> <td><input id='text' type='text' name='invName[]' value='WHATS GOES HERE??' /></td> </tr> "; } ?> The submitted info is captured with the following code: For testing it simply outputs the info... if (isset($_SESSION['NOC']) && $current_page == "invitations.php"){ if(isset($_POST['addemail'])){ $impEmail = implode(",", $_POST['invEmail']); $expEmail = explode(",", $impEmail); $impName = implode(",", $_POST['invName']); $expName = explode(",", $impName); $sendit = array_combine($expEmail, $expName); foreach ($sendit as $key => $value) { echo "$key belongs to $value<br />\n"; } if ($_SESSION['NOCStop'] == $_SESSION['NOC'] + 1){ $message = "<script>alert('Max Emails Reached')</script>"; }else{ $_SESSION['NOCStart'] = 1; $_SESSION['NOCStop'] = $_SESSION['NOCStop'] + 1; } }else{ $stopper = $_SESSION['NOC'] * .5; $rounder = round($stopper) + 1; $_SESSION['NOCStart'] = 1; $_SESSION['NOCStop'] = $rounder; } } Thank you for your help! Merry xmas and happy new in advance to you all. I have a web form where user submit an ad. Everything is working just fine. However there is a field name brief. The brief field is where user add info about their ad. Now people are including web url, phone numbers and email address in this field which make the ad look like spam. In the code there is already a function that check if they have entered their email address in the email field. I want to add a function to the check field to include the brief field. The function should either automatically delete any phone number/email addr/web url or replace with with my website name if detected in the brief field. Your help will be highly appreciated.

The first text field basically allows the user to input a duration of an event in the format of Hours:Minutes:Seconds such as: 02:30:00 is two and a half hours. The second textfield allows the user to put in an average time 'something' does something in the same format as above. So for example 00:20:00 is 20 minutes. 1st Textfield: Code: [Select] <input name="tmarrtextfield" type="text" class="textbox" id="tmarrtextfield" value="00:00:00"> 2nd Textfield: Code: [Select] <input name="tmatttextfield" type="text" class="textbox" id="tmatttextfield" value="00:00:00"> What I need is for when the form is submitted to the same page.. the code to...: 1. Convert the normal text info into actual time data. 2. Divide the duration by the average timing so for example: 02:30:00 (150 minutes) / 00:20:00 (20 minutes) = 7.5 (Would return a rounded down number or up, doesn't matter) then store the number as a variable that will be echoed later. Harry. Does anyone know how I can validate US currency using php that is entered into a textbox? The textbox is setup as a decimal in mysql and i'm trying to make sure only decimals are entered so when php calculates the values entered I don't receive errors. |
