Is there anything wrong (or insecure) with using hidden form fields? I am working on a page where the user can choose one of 4 different subscription options. The approach I was going to use is to have a separate form for each plan, and when the user chooses one, submit a hidden form value so my script knows which subscription plan to grab out of the database. Thoughts? Hello. So I already know an extremely elementary way to check to see if a form field is blank using PHP. For example: Code: [Select] if ($subject == "") The question I have is, is there a way to have php check every field in a form to make sure it has some sort of value? I want to create an 'if' statement which basically says, "If all form fields have something filled in, then do this" For example Code: [Select] if ($subject == "any value") & ($name == "any value") & ($comment == "any value") Not sure if that makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I have got another of those problems that should be easy to solve but I cannot get my head round it! I have a form to enter data into a table and one of the fields can be left blank. However, I'd data is entered in the field it can be a Zero. This is leaving me a problem as I cannot find a way to get the script to insert NULL if the field is blank but actually put the Zero in if that is what is entered. I have tried several permutations of nested if's using empty or isset, but whatever I try, the same result is inserted in both scenarios. The arguments I need to pass are...... If field is empty INSERT null If field is 0 INSERT 0 If field is not empty and not 0 INSERT field Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Steve Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this and to help if you can I have a flex app that is sending data to a php script that will then perform tasks based on the data found inthe array, my problem is that there are over 270 items in the array and I need to alter many of them BEFORE the script performs its task, what I need is a way to alter the data in the array without having to do it one at a time which I will have to do, below is some exxamples of what I am looking to do for example the array will have data on aprox 35 colors and I need to check and these values and change them if needed, my current system is as follows $color1 = $skin['color1']; if (preg_match("/0x/i", $color1)) { $color1 = str_replace("0x", "", $color1); } else { $color1 = str_pad(dechex($color1), 6, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT); } if($color1=="" || $color1=="000000"){$color1="100000";} now currently I would have to do this individualy for $skin['color1'], $skin['color2'], $skin['color3'] etc etc so is there a way I can do it without such bloated code, for example a while or a foreach statement etc? im not great at php so I am not sure how I would go about this if its possible another thing is that the rest of the values in the array are for image values and I need to fillter through them to find out which are the default images and which are not (no tasks are performed on default images) the following are example values from the array for the arrar item $clockface = $skin['clockface'] /home/thesite/public_html/flex_app/assets/default/clockface.png /home/thesite/public_html/flex_app/gallery/clock/clockface_3.png /home/thesite/public_html/flex_app/uploads/uploaded_file.jpg now depending on the value of the array I would wat the following for the 3 values above $clockface = ""; // if its the first value $clockface = "/home/thesite/public_html/flex_app/gallery/clock/pack3/clockface.svg" // if its the second value $clockface = "/home/thesite/public_html/flex_app/uploads/uploaded_file.jpg" // if its the third value now the above is easy to do on an individual basis but I want to streamline my code and not have an if statement with str_replace etc for each and every value which means I would have to do the code over 200 times for the images now as you can see from the first set of values there are certain things that give clues as to what and where the image is ("assests/default", "gallery/clock/clockface_3.png" and "uploads/uploaded_file.jpg") and I would use these to produce the final values above but again I would have to do it on an individual basis for each array value so is there any way I can streamline the process with again a while or a foreach statement or another way of doing this? your help is very much appriciated regards wayne I have html form that looks like: <form method="post" action="?a=up"> ...some mysql query... while ($i = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { <input name="name[]" type="text" value="<?=$i['name'];?>" /> <input name="years[]" type="text" value="<?=abs($age);?>"/> <input name="to[]" type="checkbox" value="<?=$i['id'];?>" /> } <input name="" type="submit" value="go" /> </form> The problem I have is that I can not get the values of the form fields such as "name" and "years". I can only get a list of the ids (value of "to" checkbox). The php code looks like: $cnt = 0; for($p = 0; $p <= (sizeof($to)-1); $p++) { echo $to[$p].$name[$p].$years[$p]"<br>"; $cnt++; } $tm = array($cnt); What I'm doing wrong? I'm making a contact form using PHP, I've got the look of the form done and I'm very happy with the look - but the actual email bit is a bit challenging. I'm using the code from a contact form on css-tricks.com, and the script does send emails... and I receive them but the emails are completely blank apart from the 'name: email: message:' stuff and the subject.

Thanks Hello everyone I need your assitance a great deal, so I have a form which i submitted to a php file throug ajax and jquery. It is working A ok but I want to be able to submit it with javascript instead, so i don't load any lib. And it is now a problem.

So i want to post my jquery script, for you all my mighty programmers to assist me get a javascript Clone for me, thank you very much for Helping Jquery file $("form.ajax").on("submit", function(){ var that= $(this); that.find('[name]').each(function(index,value){ var that = $(this), name =that.attr('name'), value =that.val(); data[name]=value; }); return false;}); Now the above code is just my major focus of the script. What it does is that select the form with an ajax class attribute and run a function after the user submits the form. The var that get reference to the above form throug the (this) reference. Next i use find fuction to look through out the open and close of our form.ajax form for any element that has the name attribute and set it into array using the .each(function (index,value){}) this is my main focus how to ilterate through the form looking for name attribute and set my finding into array using javascript. The next that var reference to the find statement and then we steal the name attribute and value from our findings and set an array called data with the stolen name variable as its index n value attribute as its value.

I have a database field `color` enum('red','blue','green','white') DEFAULT NULL, and php form <label for="color">Colors</label><br /> <input type="text" name="color" /> How do i display enum value on the php form from mysql database? Please help php mysql Hello, I'm using the following code to echo what fields have been left blank: if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $emailconfirm = $_POST['emailconfirm']; $name = trim($_POST['name']); $visitor_email = trim($_POST['email']); $user_message = trim($_POST['message']); if(empty($name)){ $name1 .= "<br>Name is empty."; } if(empty($visitor_email)){ $email1 .= "<br>Email is empty."; } if(empty($user_message)){ $message1 .= "<br>User Message is empty."; } But what seems to happen, is once you submit the form with blank fields, the echo does show, however, when you click submit again, the form submits even though the fields were blank. Is their a way of blocking 'post' if the fields are blank? Thanks Hi I am learning PHP and working on a Contact Us page with a required fields.

They click submit and the answers are put through a couple of multiplication function and then placed in a table (alongside the pin) via Q2.php. On the Q2 page I want to place the 2nd question that the user needs to answer. Rather than making them retype the pin I was hoping to process it as a hidden field - being picked up from their Q1.php entry. This 'hidden pin echo ' process will continue throughout Q2- Q10 pages. However - I can't seem to include any php in the page after the Q1 form has been processed. Have I got my php tags messed up? <?php $con = mysql_connect("localhost","ca","d"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("candango", $con); $q1 =$_POST['q1']; $pin =$_POST['pin']; $ans1 = $q1 * 3; $ans2 = $q1 * 5; $ans3 = $q1 * 2; $enter_sql= "INSERT INTO aapcm2 (pin,ans1, ans2, ans3) VALUES ('$pin','$ans1','$ans2','$ans3')"; $enter_query =mysql_query($enter_sql) or die (mysql_error()); ?> <body> <p>Thank you - You have successfully entered your answers.</p><form action="q2.php" method="post"> <p>What do you think the answer to this one is? <input type="radio" name="q2" id="q2" value="-3"> <label for="q2"></label> <input name="Hidden" type="hidden" id="Hidden" value="$pin" /></p> <p> <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit"> </p> </form> <p></p> </body> The ID field doesn't display the data but it must be there because it was the key for the query.
