PHP - How Can I Enable Posting Form Data On To The Same Page.
I ve been having trouble processing form data to the same page as the do on facebook comments. Can php scripts do that.
Help me guys!! Similar TutorialsHi everyone! So, I have recently become interested in the world of webpage design and HTML coding. Thus far, I have created a few simple HTML webpages, the first of which includes some basic facts and information on the state of NC. Everything has gone rather smoothly for me until this point, but I would now like to incorporate a bit of PHP into my knowledge of web development. First, I would like to include a form on my NC page that once submitted, goes to a new PHP page displaying the inputted data to the screen. On the new page, I am attempting to include files: a header and footer. On my other couple of pages for which I would like to add server side includes. And lastly, if possible, it would be great if I could learn how to add some additional features like sending e-mails or displaying the date. Any advice or tips on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated! This topic has been moved to HTML Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=346552.0 Hello. I currently have a web page that allows a user to enter text into a form then select a "Submit Query" button; upon doing this the entered text is saved to a database and displayed for the user on the same page (the page where the form and "Submit Query" button are located). My question is as follows: I wish the results to be displayed on a new page when the "Submit Query" button is clicked, not displayed on the same page. Is this achieved through targeting? I am a bit lost at this point on how to achieve this result. Thank-you in advance for any help. ~Matty Hi everyone, First off thank you very kindly to anyone who can provide some enlightenment to this total php/mysql newb. I am creating my first database and while I have been able to connect to the database within my php script (or so I believe), the form data does not appear to be actually getting sent. I have development experience in other languages but this is completely new to me so if I've missed something that appears painfully obvious like a parse error of some sort, I do apologize. I am creating a website using Godaddy as the hosting account, and attempting to connect to the mysql database at the following URL (maybe this is where I'm going wrong): "pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com" Below is my very simple code: <?php //Verify successful connection to database. $connect = mysql_connect("pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com", "*********", "*********"); if(!$connect) {die("Could not connect!"); } //Initialize variables with form data. $firstname = $_POST['FirstName']; $lastname = $_POST['LastName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $howfound = $_POST['HowFound']; //Post data to database, or return error. mysql_select_db("pnmailinglist", $connect); mysql_query("INSERT INTO mailinglist (First, Last, Email, How_Found) VALUES ($firstname,$lastname,$email,$howfound)"); mysql_close($connect); echo "Thank you for joining our mailing list! We will contact you soon with the dates and times of our upcoming events."; ?> Thank you again very much for any pointers or hints as to where I'm screwing up. I get no runtime errors, no syntax errors, and the echo message does display fine at the end -- just no data when I go to check my database! Best Regards, CL Hi There, I have a series of submit buttons that I would like to update records in a table when they are pressed. For example, when clicked, I would like them to run the following statement: update mytable set completed = 1 where colname = $variable I would then like it to refresh the page. Is there a way of doing this? Thanks Matt Hi all, I have an html form that sends formdata to a php script called example.php with the POST method. example.php then has the following structu Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['var1'])) {$var1 = $_POST['var1'];} else {$var1 = 'English';} if(isset($_POST['var2'])) {$var2 = $_POST['var2'];} else {$var2 = 'French';} print" <html> <body> <form> <select id='select1'> <option>var1</option> <option>var2</option> <option>etc...</option> </select> <input type='text' id='input1'> ETC. ETC. </form> </body> </html> "; ?> So example.php has an embedded html form. How do I specify that some elements of the form should take their values from the variables retrieved at the start of the script via the POST command? For example, I want select1 to have 'var1' pre-selected and I want input1 to display var2. var1 & var2 get sent through to example.php fine, I just don't know how to get the embedded html form to use them. Please help! Thanks a lot. I'm trying to figure out a way to post data directly to a URL. For example: <?php if (isset($_POST["pass"]) && ($_POST["pass"]=="$password")) { echo "You did it"; ?> <?php } else { echo "<form method=\"post\"><p align=\"left\">"; echo "<input name=\"pass\" type=\"text\" size=\"25\" maxlength=\"40\"><input value=\"Enter Pass\" type=\"submit\"></form>"; exit; } ?> Let's assume $password is 'password'. Why can't I simply pass the information through the URL to access the page with something like this: Code: [Select] http://mypage.com/the-same-page.php?pass=password Hi there, OK, there is what I'm trying to accomplish - I want to send POST instantly when the page is loaded without "Submit" button or anything like that. Here how it looks using JavaScript: Code: [Select] <form name="postdata" action="http://www.mywebsite.com/post.php" method="post"> <input name="data" type="text" value="1"/> </form> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> document.postdata.submit(); </script> Works fine with JavaScript, however i can't use it. Here is reference for CURL: http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php I found this curl_post function at php.net to simplify things up. <?php /** * Send a POST requst using cURL * @param string $url to request * @param array $post values to send * @param array $options for cURL * @return string */ function curl_post($url, array $post = NULL, array $options = array()) { $defaults = array( CURLOPT_POST => 1, CURLOPT_HEADER => 0, CURLOPT_URL => $url, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT => 1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE => 1, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 4, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => http_build_query($post) ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($ch, ($options + $defaults)); if( ! $result = curl_exec($ch)) { trigger_error(curl_error($ch)); } curl_close($ch); return $result; } $test = curl_post("http://www.mywebsite.com/post.php", array("data" => "1")); print($test); ?> Looks like it uses GET instead POST (used sniffer to verify this). I'm trying to send POST data to other host, if that matters. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'm not much of a PHP programmer so please excuse the mess but I'm having a problem with some code. I am able to successfully build a table and assign values to radio buttons based one information in a database. The problem comes when I want to update the database when someone changes a radio button. Everthing works up until the foreach statment. Nothing in the database is being updated, if I replace the sql statement with echo $v; all I get is the word Submit so it's like the rest of the values aren't being included in the form. <link href="css/demo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <?php session_start(); // dBase file include "dbconfig.php"; if (!$_SESSION["valid_user"]) { // User not logged in, redirect to login page Header("Location: index.php"); } //Grab GUID passed in the URL $guid=$_GET['guid']; // Create query for student name $sql = "SELECT FirstName, LastName FROM Students where GUID ='". $guid .

I have a database which holds results
Name | Car | etc \ etc | Round 1 | round 2 | round 3 // etc | Total
the points are in the format of;
e.g.
100.5 // 25.6 // 35.8 // 50.0
I input the data manually using a webpage, clicking on the relevant driver, update scores, click submit. I have to manually work out the total, is there a way I can it it automatically add the values from round 1,2,3, etc.
So I have an AJAX call that I'm using to POST 1 variable to a PHP script I have on a separate server. The PHP takes this variable and returns data based off of what the variable is. This works on all browsers except IE9 and below. IE9 returns data but it's an error saying the variable is missing which to me shows that it isn't sending the data. Below I have the AJAX call I'm making:
(function (jQ) { var inviteID = '00000000000'; jQ.ajax({ url: 'www.example.com/test.php', type: 'POST', dataType: 'json', cache: false, data: { classID: inviteID }, error: function (data, status, error) { jQ('.statusField').append('Failu ' + data + status + error); }, success: function (data, status, error) { jQ('.statusField').append('Success: ' + data); } }); })(jQuery); And below I have the PHP script that's being used: <?php //first POST to grab token function runPost($classID) { $postdata = array( 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password' ); //open connection $ch = curl_init(); //set the url, POST data curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/login"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($postdata)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'example'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //execute post $result = curl_exec($ch); //close connection curl_close($ch); list($message, $time, $token, $userID) = split(',', $result); list($one, $two, $three, $four, $five) = split('\"', $token); $four = json_encode($four); $four = str_replace('"','',$four); $secondaryPostData = array( 'token' => $four, 'data' => array( 'invitationID' => $classID )); //open connection $chu = curl_init(); //set the url, POST data curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/classID"); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($secondaryPostData)); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'example'); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); curl_setopt($chu, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //execute post $secondResult = curl_exec($chu); //close connection curl_close($chu); return json_encode($secondResult); } //Grab classID from javascript echo runPost(trim($_POST['classID'])); ?> Again, this works fine in everything except IE. I've tried using just $.post and even XDomainRequest() and get the same result. The network console in IE shows that the Request body does have the classID in it, but I'm guessing it's just not sending the data to the PHP script. I don't know if I'm missing something that IE needs to send this to the PHP script but any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. Hi, I am sending data from a form to a URL using $_GET but I would also like the user to be redirected to a thankyou page which is a different URL. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks, Hi, I am newbie to PHP. If any one explain me with a simple example, it would be really great. I have a form page "queue_info.php". After user hits SUBMIT, this page will redirect to an action page "queue_action.php". from form page data are passed using "$quests=$_POST['quests'];" to this action page. Now i need to resend this same data back to the form page "queue_info.php" from action page. How to do this? Appreciate your inputs on this. thanks, prakash Hello, Curious to know if someone could point me in the right direction, been struggling with this for a bit now. I have a HTML page with a search field, I can enter a search term and hit the submit button and I am directed to my search.php page with the appropriate results. What I am looking to accomplish is having the search results from the search.php page displayed in a text area below my search field in my HTML page. I have included an image to better describe what I am looking to accomplish: Additionally below is the source from my HTML page and search.php page: page.html <form name="search" action='search.php' method="post"> <input type="text" class="myinputstyle" name="search" value="search" onClick="this.value=''"/><br> <input type="submit" value="submit" class="myinputstyle"> </form> search.php <?php $search = "%" . $_POST["search"] . "%"; mysql_connect ("localhost", "game_over", "Ge7Ooc9uPiedee3oos9xoh4th"); mysql_select_db ("game_over"); $query = "SELECT * FROM game_over WHERE first_name LIKE '$search'"; $result = mysql_query ($query); if ($result) { while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { echo "Name: {$row['name']} " . "{$row['lname']} <br>" . "Email: {$row['email]} <br>" . } } ?> Any insight would be most appreciated. Thank you. I have this code with clears the input box onclick... Code: [Select] <input type="text" name="username" value="Username" onclick="value=''"/> however is there any way to use php to get the value of username, before its posted? that way i can make it so it only clears if the value of username is "username" I am working on a PHP/MySQL authorization script. The script seems to work initially, but when I try to Login and post the Form ( echo '<form method="post" action=authorize_1.php">'; echo '<table>'; echo '<tr><td>Userid:</td>'; echo '<td><input type="text" name="userid"></td></tr>'; echo '<tr><td>Password:</td>'; echo '<td><input type="password" name="password"></td></tr>'; echo '<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">'; echo '<input type="submit" value="Log in"></td></tr>'; echo '</table></form>'; ) Internet Explorer returns the error that the page is not found.... but I am using one .php file for the authorization so I am sure the page is found because i can see the Login portion. Any ideas as to what is going wrong? Hi, i have written a form that uses 3 dropdown boxes, one of them being populated from a database. The form code is as follows; Code: [Select] <form id="pointsForm" name="pointsForm" method="post" action="points-engine.php"> <select name="car" id="car"> <?php // result of car name collection $result = mysql_query ($query); //Array stored in $cars while($cars=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ //option values added by looping through array echo "<option value=$cars[id]>$cars[carName]</option>"; } ?> </select> <select name="season" id="season"> <option value="low">Low season</option> <option value="mid">Mid season</option> <option value="high">High season</option> <option value="peak">Peak season</option> </select> <select name="period" id="period"> <option value="day">One day</option> <option value="weekend">Weekend</option> <option value="week">One week</option> </select> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" /> </form> which posts to; Code: [Select] <?php $car=$_POST['car']; echo $car; $season=$_POST['season']; echo $season; $period=$_POST['period']; echo $period; ?> The initial form code is working fine, the car field is being populated from the database.
