PHP - Client Wants Ability To Change Photos And Text, How To?

I am trying to set the hidden input in the javascript but it doesn't set it in the php. 

This is the form with the hidden input. It corresponds to a field in the database table with the name of draggables.

<form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" id="myForm2" action="/mealplans/add">

<input type="hidden" name="draggables" id="drag12"/>

<button id="myId" type="submit">Submit Form</button>

</form>

This is where I change the value in the javascript:

if(data == "draggable3"){
alert("data " + data);
var x = document.getElementById("drag12").value;
x =  "draggable3";
alert(x);
} //end if

                
The alert pops up with draggable3 as it should but the value of null is what gets saved in the database. The javascript doesn't change the PHP value; it only changes the client side value.         

I've also tried getElementsByName but that didn't work either.

var y = document.getElementsByName("draggables").value;    //only changes it on the client

This is actually a cakephp site but this problem is with the PHP so I am publishing it here.

Okay, I'm not quite sure how to state this, so I'll try my best.

Is it possible to setup some kind of "after so long, it changes the state of something from 'fighting' to 'active'" query or function?

What is happening is that people are fighting in my game, then choosing to just close their browser rather than quit the fight, to change the monster's state back to 'active', so other people can fight it.

Does that make sense?

Any thoughts or could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

I wish to create validation rules once which are used both on the client and on the server.   For instance, I will start off with the following PHP object:

stdClass Object
(
    [rules] => stdClass Object
        (
            [email] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [required] => 1
                    [email] => 1
                    [remote] => stdClass Object
                        (
                            [url] => check-email.php
                            [type] => post
                            [data] => stdClass Object
                                (
                                    [username] => function() {return $( '#username' ).val();}
                                )
                        )
                )
        )

    [messages] => stdClass Object
        (
            [email] => stdClass Object
                (
                    [required] => an email is required
                )
        )
)

When the edit page is downloaded to the client, I will include this object in some format suitable to the client.   The client will then use the jQuery Validation plugin (http://jqueryvalidation.org/) along with the validation object, and client side validate the page.   When the form passes client side validation and is uploaded, PHP will use the same validation object to serverside validate the form (I have this part working as desired).   My question is how should I pass this data to the client?  Originally, I would just use PHP to write some JavaScript.

exit('var myObj='.json_encode($myObj));

Note that when I json_encode the object, the value of $myObj->rules->email->remote->data->username is a string with quotes around it, however, I can easily use PHP to strip these tags before sending it to the client.   As Jacques1 pointed out in http://forums.phpfre...ascript-client/, I should never ever use PHP to generate JavaScript, and should use AJAX to download the JSON directly.  I tried doing the later, but found that a callback function could not be included in the JSON.     Please advise on the best way to accomplish this.   Thank you

I am working on getting members that are ready to make a payment after they have logged in and want to view their emails to make the payment first. How can I reprogram my session to stop them from entering the email section and make a payment first.

This is my codes which work fine. Just need to know how to amend it to redirect them to payment.


<?php

//Start session

session_start();

//Check whether the session variable SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not

if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_ID']) || (trim($_SESSION['SESS_ID']) == '')) {

header("location: access-denied.php");

exit();

}
?>

Hi

Have got my form working for all standard bits.  Just need to add the functionality for people to upload photos.  I copied and modified the form from a site and there is a section that I think is redundant it still works when I comment it out can you clarify for me:

Code: [Select]

    // validation expected data exists
 /*   if(!isset($_POST['first_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['last_name']) ||
        !isset($_POST['email']) ||
        !isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
        !isset($_POST['comments'])) {
        died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');       
    }
     */

Below is the full code for the form:

Code: [Select]

<?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {
     
    // EDIT THE 2 LINES BELOW AS REQUIRED
    $email_to = "asdfasdf@asdfasdf.com";
    $email_subject = "adsfasdf asdfasdf Application Form";

From what I've been reading you need to tell the php to put it to a temporary file from the submit.. then move it to the file name and then somehow include that file name in the php email back.  So maybe a url and its private or htaccess? or does it get included as attachment in the mail?

Im not sure if i should be using 'id' or 'name' in the html form etc and how to tie it together.

Any help or guides much appreciated.

Thanks
