PHP - Can You Suggest Form Improvements?
I have the following form (attached to this post as a Thumbnail).
I want to make it user-friendly, specifically, bring it up to the modern web standards, namely, I am looking for things that that I think are modern and are user friendly and are great when considered by themselves, but together they may even conflict. And I need some help figuring out what will work best for my situation and what is technically possible.
Right now the user enteres fields into the form, into the editable fields on the left. Then user can save the fields by clicking Save, or click Del to delete the row. User can Add a new row at the bottom.
The things I think will improve the form a
* implement a double-click feature on the editable fields to make them editable, and save them automatically upon `blur` event * user can use `Tab` key to navigate from one `<input>` field to the next, normally, as before, and edit values inside. * user can save all fields entered so far, and restore them via some mechanism (i.e. either to web page or to clipboard, and restore via direct paste for example, or file upload..) * Maybe I can use DataTables, but I have never used it so I don't know what could be done Can you help suggest form or UI improvements for the current form that I have? I may also have some questions on first steps or first examples of implementing particular ones (possibly making a separate post for those) Attached Files form.png 7.94KB 0 downloads Similar TutorialsThis topic has been moved to Ajax Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=326703.0 I've written the script below to import a csv file into the database. I've tried to make this as secure as possible by sanitizing and validating the data, but is there anything else I could do to improve it? I'm happy with the way it works so far.
All I can think to add is a meme check via php but I can't find a way to check whether it's specifically a csv file (other than just checking the extension but that's not secure)
<?php if ($_FILES[csv][size] > 0) { //get the csv file $file = $_FILES[csv][tmp_name]; $handle = fopen($file,"r"); //set the row counter $csv_row = 0; //loop through the csv file and insert into database do { // start the import if ($data[0]) { //add 1 the row counter $csv_row++; //clear errors $errors = ''; //sanitize the inputs $firstName = addslashes($data[0]); $lastName = addslashes($data[1]); $email = addslashes($data[2]); //validate the inputs - set $errors as 'YES' if any fail if(!ctype_alpha($firstName)){ $errors = 'YES'; } if(!ctype_alpha($lastName)){ $errors = 'YES'; } if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ $errors = 'YES'; } //check whether there were any errors in the validation if($errors!=='YES'){ //insert into database $stmt = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO test (firstName,lastName,email) VALUES (?,?,?)"); $stmt->bind_param('sss',$firstName,$lastName,$email); $stmt->execute(); } //there was an error, store the affected row number in the error array else { $error_report[] = "There was an error on row $csv_row"; } //end error check } //end single row import } while ($data = fgetcsv($handle)); if($csv_row>0){ $success = 'YES'; } } // end csv import ?> Edited by paddyfields, 11 June 2014 - 01:06 PM.

Like the phpfreaks bible of coding, best practices.
A lot of members post some valuable information that gets lost old posts or too hard to search for.
Everyone repeating themselves on bad practices or deprecated code, turning on error reporting and such.
how to update the record of one table in which condition is that the it should similar to the other table feild only. e.g field of table1 will update only when the feild1 of table1 is equal to field2 of table2 in php?? while im using following command mysql_select_db("db1",$con); $query = "SELECT table2.feild1 , table2.feild1 " .

Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you. Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one. FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you: The HTML with the PHP codes: Code: [Select] <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { //Assigning variables to elements $first = htmlentities($_POST['first']); $last = htmlentities($_POST['last']); $sub = htmlentities($_POST['subject']); $email = htmlentities($_POST['email']); $web = htmlentities($_POST['website']); $heard = htmlentities($_POST['heard']); $comment = htmlentities($_POST['message']); $cap = htmlentities($_POST['captcha']); //Declaring the email address with body content $to = 'alithebestofall2010@gmail.com'; $body ="First name: '$first' \n\n Last name: '$last' \n\n Subject: '$sub' \n\n Email: '$email' \n\n Website: '$web' \n\n Heard from us: '$heard' \n\n Comments: '$comment'"; //Validate the forms if (empty($first) || empty($last) || empty($sub) || empty($email) || empty($comment) || empty($cap)) { echo '<p class="error">Required fields must be filled!</p>'; header ('refresh= 3; url= index.php'); return false; } elseif (filter_var($first, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) || filter_var($last, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) { echo '<p class="error">You cannot enter a number as either the first or last name!</p>'; return false; } elseif (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { echo '<p class="error">Incorrect email address!</p>'; return false; } elseif (!($cap === '12')){ echo '<p class="error">Invalid captcha, try again!</p>'; return false; } else { mail ($to, $sub, $body); echo '<p class="success">Thank you for contacting us!</p>'; } } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> <p>Your first name: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="first" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Paul"/></p> <p>Your last name: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="last" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Smith"/></p> <p>Subject: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="subject" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Contact"/></p> <p>Your email address: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Ex: example@xxx.com"/></p> <p>Website:</p> <p><input type="text" name="website" size="40" placeholder="Ex: http//:google.com"/></p> <p>Where you have heard us?: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><select name="heard"> <option>Internet</option> <option>Newspapers</option> <option>Friends or relatives</option> <option>Others</option> </select></p> <p>Your message: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><textarea cols="75" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p> <p>Are you human? Sum this please: 5 + 7 = ?: <span class="required">*</span></p></p> <p><input type="text" name="captcha" size="10"/></p> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button"/> <input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button"/></p> </form> SECOND PROBLEM:If a user has made a mistake, he gets the error message so that he can correct! However, when a mistake in the form occurs, all the data the user has entered are disappeared! I want the data to keep appearing so that the user does not start over again to fill the form. THIRD: When the erro message is displayed to notify the user that he made a mistake when submitting the form, the message is displaying on the top of the page. I want it to appear below each respective field. How to do that? In JQuery it is simple, but in PHP, I am confusing! 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.

" -" . "<a href='index.php' style='text-decoration:none;color:#ffcb00;'> Return Home</a>"; $ip = $_POST['visitoraddress'] ?> Stumped! I have a client who has a form where they upload files to their server: title, two password fields, and the file
They have been unable to upload anything over 10m
Small (under 10mb) files work.
Larger doesn’t
I’ve tracked it down, I think, that the processing page appears to be dropping the form values when the file takes a bit to upload.
I echo’ed the values that are grabbed from the form, and they return empty strings if it takes a while for the file to upload (a large file) - they pass fine if the file is smaller.
I think I've got the php info set correctly, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to adjust the timing out issue, or even where to troubleshoot.

Hello, first time poster.. I've looked the web over for a long time and can't figure this one out. - Below is basic code that successfully checks MySQL for a match and displays result. I was debugging and forced the "height" and "width" to be 24 and 36 to make sure that wasn't the problem. That's good.. - I'd like to give the user ability to select width and height from a form.. and have it do an onchange this.form.submit so the form can be changing as fields are altered (thus the onchange interaction) - In a normal coding environment I've done this numerous times with no "Page cannot be displayed" problems. It would simply change one select-option value at a time til they get down the form and click submit... but in WordPress I'm having trouble making even ONE single onchange work! - I've implemented the plugins they offer which allows you to "copy+paste" your php code directly into their wysiwyg editor. That works with basic tests like my first bullet point above. - I've copied and pasted the wordpress url (including the little ?page_id=123) into the form "action" url... that didn't work... tried forcing it into an <option value=""> tag.. didn't work. I'm just not sure. I've obviously put xx's in place of private info.. Why does this form give me Page Cannot Be Displayed in WordPress every time? It won't do anything no matter how simple.. using onchange.. Code.. $con = mysql_connect("xxxx.xxxxxxx.com","xxxxxx","xxxxx"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("xxxxxx", $con); $myprodwidth=24; $myprodheight=36; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM product_sizes WHERE prodwidth='$myprodwidth' and prodheight='$myprodheight'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['prodprice']; } mysql_close($con); <form method="post" action=""> <select name="myheight" onchange="this.form.submit();"> <option selected="selected" value="">select height</option> <option value="xxxxxxxxx.com/wordpress/?page_id=199&height=36">36</option> <option value="xxxxxxxxx.com/wordpress/?page_id=199&height=36">48</option> </select> There are two pieces to this- The HTML Form and the resulting php. I can't seem to make the leap, from the code to having the form produce the php page so others can view it until the form is again submitted overwriting the php, thus generating new content. The environment I am working in is limited to IIs 5.1 and php 5.2.17 without mySQL or other DB I'm new to php, this isn't homework,or commercialization, it's for children. I am thinking perhaps fwrite / fread but can't get my head around it. Code snipets below.

What if JavaScript is turned off on the browser?! why after someone refreshing a page on the browser, the variables used to echo error after invalid data is being submitted will return the undefined variables error?! And how to handle form validation including an empty form field, maximum amount of value entered and so on Which one is better for standards practices in PHP. 1. Using the same form for everything. (Add and edit). Meaning setting up one form to handle adding new records, as well as editing existing records. Or 2. Using two different forms for both actions. Use one form/area to handle Adding, and one form/area to handle editing. Which one of these are better from a standards/practice point of a view. Which one better fits into the MVC platform (a framework like Codeignitor, or Cake). Should their be separate controller functions/views for add and edit or should they all be in the same controller function/form. Thanks for the feedback.
