I have a firm that post to my database. When I tested it always posted my information correctly. I require the user to be logged in before they can access the page with the form. I do I ensure that each php variable has a value in it before the data is posted? Any help would be appreciated. I can post my code if needed.

i have a php script and i want it to submit to itself having the php script on the same page, the problem is when i do it it tries to upload the file without waiting for the form resaulting in format you tried to upload was not allowed" (its an image uploader)

heres my code Code: [Select]
<?php

   $ext = substr($filename, strpos($filename,'.'), strlen($filename)-1); // Get the extension from the filename.
 
   // Check if the filetype is allowed, if not DIE and inform the user.
   if(!in_array($ext,$allowed_filetypes))
      die('<font size="4"><font color="red">The file you attempted to upload is not allowed.</font></font>');

i just want it so it doesn't display that error

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?

I am trying to learn how to program in PHP. For a long time i was using WAMP and my localhost. When i ran into trouble i searched the web, watched videos and eventually find a solution.   Trying to upload my scripts into a shared hosting web server i had some difficulties in basic things, like using $_SESSION superglobal variable.   What i want to do is to use a hidden field with a value inside a form, and after submitting the form, to compare the $_SESSION variable to the $_POST variable in order to check for CSRF.

<?php

	//call all custom functions
	require_once('Custom_Functions/functions.php');

	//session must be send before HTML headers

	secure_session_start();

?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<?php 

	if(isset($_POST['submit']))
	{
		$postvalue = $_POST['input1'];
		$sessionvalue = $_SESSION['hashed_token'];

		echo '<br />==========================<br />';
		echo '<br />AFTER PRESSING SUBMIT<br />';

		echo '<br />==========================<br />';

		echo 'Value of  $_POST["hashed_token"] = '.$postvalue.'<br />';
		echo 'Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = '.$sessionvalue.'<br />';
		

	}


$hashed_token = hash('sha256', uniqid(mt_rand(), TRUE));

$_SESSION['hashed_token'] = $hashed_token;


echo '<br />==========================<br />';
echo '<br />BEFORE PRESSING SUBMIT<br />';

echo '<br />==========================<br />';


echo '<br />Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = '.$hashed_token.'<br />';


?>

<form action="" method="POST">
	<input type="hidden" name="input1" value="<?php echo $hashed_token; ?>" />
	<p><input type="submit" name="submit" /></p>
</form>


</body>


</html>

In this script i have 1 custom function:   a) secure_session_start()

function secure_session_start(){

	//Set a custom session name
	$session_name = 'TESTSESSID';

	ini_set('session.use_only_cookies', 1);

	ini_set('session.entropy_file', '/dev/urandom');

	
	if (in_array('sha512', hash_algos())) {
	  
	    ini_set('session.hash_function', 'sha256');
	 }

	ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', 0);

	ini_set('session.hash_bits_per_character', 5);

	ini_set('session.cookie_secure', 1);

	$secure = TRUE;

	$httponly = TRUE;


	$cookieParams = session_get_cookie_params();
	
	session_set_cookie_params($cookieParams['lifetime'], $cookieParams['path'], $cookieParams['domain'], $secure, $httponly);

	session_name($session_name);

	
	ini_set("session.save_path", "/home/SESSIONS");

	session_start();

}

The procedure goes as follows:   FIRST COMMUNICATION WITH THE SERVER: The superglobal variable $_SESSION['hashed_token'] is assigned the random hash value, which is then passed to the hidden input field. I then echo it.   RESULT:   ==========================

BEFORE PRESSING SUBMIT

==========================

Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = 93438a1b9b72085ce9430291acebdc4cfdee9d001b91a26207aebc22e04689fc   SECOND COMMUNICATION WITH THE SERVER: The user press the submit button, the script then checks if the submit button is pressed, and gets in the if statement(because is TRUE). Then i collect the $_POST and $_SESSION values and echo them. New random hash is assigned to the $_SESSION superglobal variable.   RESULT:   ==========================

AFTER PRESSING SUBMIT

==========================
Value of $_POST["hashed_token"] = 93438a1b9b72085ce9430291acebdc4cfdee9d001b91a26207aebc22e04689fc
Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = 8f176aeb3a09a1b30e0ea862c78625d7c11743da933d366cface3fa238388e57

==========================

BEFORE PRESSING SUBMIT

==========================

Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = c3442382b146f03394ad86911018247c57fa19d4a653d0bf6bb9bc7506e88ca0   For me this is very weird. The random hash is assigned to the $_SESSION variable, but when i try to call it after the submit is pressed its giving me a complete different value. If i remove the function secure_session_start() and just use session_start() it works:   RESULT (using session_start() ) ==========================

AFTER PRESSING SUBMIT

==========================
Value of $_POST["hashed_token"] = a5eaaaa38c428af623a599e664ea9c64a2ff0674e18e9250c54e52bbc586b614
Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = a5eaaaa38c428af623a599e664ea9c64a2ff0674e18e9250c54e52bbc586b614

==========================

BEFORE PRESSING SUBMIT

==========================

Value of $_SESSION["hashed_token"] = e2d4acc239a747217860d71a80553abd41142dbeb8f6fafab511caff8a081fc4   Any ideas why this is happening? The problem is inside the secure_session_start() function but i cant find out why.   Also, when i use the secure_session_start() function and more specifically the ini_set("session.save_path", "/home/SESSIONS"); i am forcing the session to be stored inside the /home/SESSIONS folder. But when i only use the session_start() the session i still gets stored inside that path. I checked my .htaccess and there is nothing storing the sessions in that folder. Why is that?   One last thing: When using FIREBUG-->Cookies is see 2 names: the custom one (TESTSESSID) and PHPSESSID(which is the default). Shouldnt i only see the custom session name only?   Thanks in advance.

Got this page, a player clicks the "accept challenge" button, then it is recorded in the database that the challenge as been started and once the form has been self submitted, the button is disabled. It does what I expect, but I have to refresh the page again for the button to be displayed as disabled. How can I do it so the page is changed once the form has been submitted?
Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();what  but after clicking a button I have to refresh the page again, before the button is displayed as disabled

I have  PHP forms that are not submitting to my database. I think it is something minor but I just can't see it! Can anyone help?

These forms open from the right side of my website by clicking "Register." The top of the form has an option for login and by clicking "Need to Register?" The rest of the form expands.

Any ideas? My database is set up correctly.


MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Hi - I have a form which is populated with values from a DB. This is done by looping through the DB values using a foreach. It works fine. I populate my form with those values. However, I want to be able to amend those values, and then submit the new values back to the DB with 1 single submit button. I don't want a separate submit button for each row of my form.

The problem is that because the form is built with a foreach, as the it loops through the variables on each pass of the DB, only the final row of DB are present in the form variables.

Question: My 'foreach' approach must be faulty. What is the mechanism or approach I need to use to update the values from the whole form  ??

MANY THANKS for all your help !!

Hi there,

If a form was submitted without any proper method , how can we grab that particular information on the other side ?

For example :

index.php

Code: [Select]

<form action="process.php" method="">

Userame: <input type="text" name="userName" />
Password: <input type="password" name="pass" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"

</form>



process.php



$userName = $_REQUEST['userName']; 
$password = $_REQUEST['pass']; 

echo ("Welcome " . $username . " to our page.");




Now what if a user deliberately alters the method, and uses "$_POST or $_GET or Leaves it blank. How can I can make it fool proof on the server side without using the $_REQUEST Global Variable?

Is there any other way to grab that submitted information like in $_SERVER Global Variable ?

*For those who think the form will not submit without disclosing the method, then they must try this after disabling their Java-script.

I hope you understand my question and would reply me in as detail as possible.

Thanks

Hello, I have a problem with my login form, when i press the submit button, it returns a valitation error that I made.

The error message is triggered when the submit button isn't pressed, but the form still tries to submit.

session_start();

include "sources/php/class.php";

$e = $_POST['loginname'];
$p = $_POST['loginpass'];
$s = $_POST['submit'];

if(!isset($s)) {
    header('location: '.$_SESSION['psite'].'.php?p=error&ploca=login&pid=0');
    exit();
}

Heres a piece of my code, first i define the variables, then check if the button was pressed, but something is wrong there? - But what?

Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Here's my PHP form code:

Code: [Select]
<form method='POST' action="<?php basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);?>" onSubmit="return stripInputBoxes(1)">
<?php
echo "<div id = 'purchaseOrderRow1' style = 'display:none;border: 1px solid black;'>";
echo $integrityBuildingProductsPDF;
echo '<input type = "hidden" id = "pdf1" value = "" name = "pdf1" />';
echo '<button name = "savePurchaseOrder" type = "submit">Save Purchase Order</button>';
echo "</div>";
?>


</form>
Here's my Javascript:
Code: [Select]
function stripInputBoxes(pdfNumber)
{
if (!document.getElementsByTagName) return;

for (i = 0; i < document.getElementById('tableBody').getElementsByTagName('tr').length - 3; i++)
{
document.getElementById(i).parentNode.innerHTML = document.getElementById(i).value;
}

document.getElementById("pdf" + pdfNumber).value = "ljkasdkljf";

return true;
}
Will this set the value of the hidden variable? I'm trying to echo the value of $_POST['pdf1'] but it comes out to nothing when the page reloads. How do I do this?
What I'm trying to do here is display a purchase order on the screen and the user can edit the quantities in the purchase order. They click SAVE to save the new updated quantities and it auto generates a PDF that's saved on the server with those new quantities. The problem is I need to run the stripInputBoxes function to take the <input> tags out of the HTML code before creating the PDF because the PDF generator doesn't recognize the tags.
