PHP - Using Hidden Form Fields
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? Similar TutorialsHi I've got a form that users enter an identification pin in for their first question as well as clicking a radio button(Q1.php) . 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> Hi I have an index.php with three drop down boxes on, each drop down uses an SQL statement to pull seatNumber from 'seats' each seat number has a UI and a forgein key field called SrideID. I have the buttons on the dorp down boxes going to dd-check.php, here the seat chosen is posted and a simple echo(just testing it works atm) for me to do any queries I also need the SrideID within the dropdown box, i tried adding it within the <option></option> but it only made the drop down duplicate. 1 1 2 2 3 3 ect..... what i would like is for the SrideID field to be included with in the dropdown box but hidden so i can post it to the dd-check.php and then show the time and price of that particular ride. here is the table and the code so far. Thanks for any help. CREATE TABLE `ride` ( `RrideID` tinyint(1) default NULL, `name` varchar(20) default NULL, `time` tinyint(1) default NULL, `price` varchar(4) default NULL ) INSERT INTO `ride` VALUES (1, 'Swinging Ship', 7, '2.50'); INSERT INTO `ride` VALUES (2, 'Roller Coaster', 5, '3.75'); INSERT INTO `ride` VALUES (3, 'Ice Blast', 4, '3.00'); CREATE TABLE `seats` ( `seatID` int(8) NOT NULL default '0', `SrideID` tinyint(1) default NULL, `seatNumber` int(2) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`seatID`) ) INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (1, 1, 1); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (2, 1, 2); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (3, 1, 3); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (4, 1, 4); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (5, 1, 5); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (49, 2, 1); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (50, 2, 2); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (51, 2, 3); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (52, 2, 4); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (53, 2, 5); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (69, 3, 1); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (70, 3, 2); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (71, 3, 3); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (72, 3, 4); INSERT INTO `seats` VALUES (73, 3, 5); code for index.php <table width="200" border="1"> <tr> <h1>Swinging Ship</h1> <?php echo '<form method="post" name="f1" action="dd-check.php">'; $query_s = "SELECT * FROM `seats` WHERE SrideID='1' ORDER BY seatID"; $result = mysql_query($query_s); echo"<select name='seatNumber'><option value=''>Select Seat</option>"; while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo '<option>'.$row['seatNumber'].'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; mysql_free_result( $result ); echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit'>"; echo "</form>"; ?> </tr> <tr> <h1>Roller Coaster</h1> <?php echo '<form method="post" name="f2" action="dd-check.php">'; $query_r = "SELECT * FROM `seats` WHERE SrideID='2' ORDER BY seatID"; $result = mysql_query($query_r); echo"<select name='seatNumber'><option value=''>Select Seat</option>"; while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo '<option>'.$row['seatNumber'].'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; mysql_free_result( $result ); echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit'>"; echo "</form>"; ?> </tr> <tr> <h1>Ice Blast</h1> <?php echo '<form method="post" name="f3" action="dd-check.php">'; $query_i = "SELECT * FROM `seats` WHERE SrideID='3' ORDER BY seatID"; $result = mysql_query($query_i); echo"<select name='seatNumber'><option value=''>Select Seat</option>"; while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) { echo '<option>'.$row['seatNumber'].'</option>'; } echo '</select>'; mysql_free_result( $result ); echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit'>"; echo "</form>"; ?> </tr> </table> code for dd-check.php <?php $result=$_POST['seatNumber']; echo " <p> the seat choosen is : $result <p> "; //TEST PULL ALL QUERY $testPullAll = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ride"); echo "<table border='1'> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Duration</th> <th>Price</th> </tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($testPullAll)) { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" . $row['name'] .

The problem is that I don't have access to the form processor, or to MySQL. This is just a snippet of my code. The php script itself is called test.php and so it calls itself once the form is submitted. I keep having problems retrieving the data back correctly; I am testing in retrieving the data on the same script from the same page before retrieving the POST data from another webpage. If $decimalSum is a variable that assigns a value that is hard-coded then I would be able to retrieve the same value. However, if the value is computed I can not retrieve it unless I click on the "Find" button twice. This is such a strange behavior and I don't know why. Does anyone have any suggested solutions to this? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title></title> </head> <body> <?php echo '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="test.php">'; echo ' <label for="_firstName">First name : </label>'; echo ' <input type="text" id="_firstName" name ="_firstName">'; echo ' <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="_firstNameChecked"/>'; echo ' <label for="_middleName">Middle name : </label>'; echo ' <input type="text" id="_middleName" name ="_middleName">'; echo ' <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="_middleNameChecked" />'; echo ' <label for="_lastName">Last name : </label>'; echo ' <input type="text" id="_lastName" name ="_lastName">'; echo ' <input type="checkbox" value="1" name="_lastNameChecked" />'; echo '<br />'; echo '<input type="submit" name="Find" value="Find" />'; $firstNameChecked = intval(($_POST['_firstNameChecked'])); $middleNameChecked = intval(($_POST['_middleNameChecked'])); $lastNameChecked = intval(($_POST['_lastNameChecked'])); $decimalSum = (int)((2*2*2)*$firstNameChecked + (2*2)*$middleNameChecked + (2*1)*$lastNameChecked); //$decimalSum = 28; echo '<br />'; echo '$decimalSum = ' . $decimalSum .

However, I want to replicate the form across several pages and give each page a category. For example, if I have a website based on sport. I have a page which enters information into the baseball category, a page which enters information into the ice hockey category, a page which enters information into the soccer category etc. Can someone advise how I would do this? Hey all, i have a little problem. I have a form, and when submitting, i need to use the ID that i put in the $_GET array earlier. When you're entering my site, and clicks a certain link, the $_GET will store show=1, and when you're submitting the form on the page, the value of 'show' is needed on the redirect page.. I thought that it would be smart to transfer it with a hidden textfield, but somehow it fails? <form id="comment-form" action="comment_profile.php" method="POST"> <fieldset> <div class="field"> <textarea name="comment-field" rows="2" cols="66"></textarea> <input type="hidden" name="pofileid-field" value="<?php echo $_GET['show']; ?>" /> // <--- Here is the hidden field. <input type="submit" name="submit-field" class="submit" value=""/><i> (HTML tags kan bruges)</i> </div> </fieldset> </form> Above you can see a piece of my code, and i marked the hidden field aswell. What i do not understand is, why isn't the hidden fields value return the value of show when i check in comment_profile.php, as that is where it returns?

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. If I store a value in a hidden form control, and then use that as a means to pass the value to another PHP script, could that cause any security issues?
Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here? For some reason, the variable doess not seem to be getting passed to the "action" php script this input is in my html form (action=post)... <input type="hidden" name="httpreferer" value="<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] ?>" /> this is in the action script... $httpreferer=$_POST['httpreferer']; echo $httpreferer; Hi Guys i need help on a small matter. if you go to https://www.mywebchambers.co.uk/invoiceman/form.php when submitted all works ok.

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 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!!! Hi I am learning PHP and working on a Contact Us page with a required fields.

I have the error messages working just fine. They do what they are supposed to do. However, when the form is brought back up to have the errors fixed. It puts a "1" in the field box. I looked at the code and I do not see where the "1" is coming from. I am also in the process of trying to figure out how to send email through my mail account using smtp. I want to see if it is going to send me the information that I ask for or the "1". Currently all of my work is being done on my localhost server Here is the code that I am using Code: [Select] <?php $email_form = "<form action='' target='' id='contactform' method='post'>\n"; $email_form .="<p class='form_header'>Contact us</p>\n"; $email_form .= "<fieldset>\n"; $email_form .= "<P>\n"; $email_form .= "<label for='name'><em>*</em> Your Name:</label>\n"; $email_form .= "<input type='text' name='name' id='name' value=".(isset($_POST['name']))." />\n"; $email_form .= "</p>\n"; $email_form .= "<p>\n"; $email_form .= "<label for='email'><em>*</em> E-mail:</label>\n"; $email_form .= "<input type='text' name='email' id='email' value=".(isset($_POST['email']))." />\n"; $email_form .= "</p>\n"; $email_form .= "<p>\n"; $email_form .= "<label for='subject'>Subject:</label>\n"; $email_form .= "<input type='text' name='subject' id='subject' value=".(isset($_POST['subject']))." />\n"; $email_form .= "</p>\n"; $email_form .= "<p>\n"; $email_form .= "<label for='message'><em>*</em> Message:</label>\n"; $email_form .= "<textarea name='message' id='message'>".(isset($_POST['message']))."</textarea>\n"; $email_form .= "</p>\n"; $email_form .= "<input type='submit' id='submit' value='Submit!' name='submitted' /><br />\n"; $email_form .= "<p class='required'>Fields marked with an asterik(*) are required</p>\n"; $email_form .= "</fieldset>\n"; if (!isset($_POST['submitted'])) { echo "$email_form"; } else { $name = (isset($_POST['name'])); $email = (isset($_POST['email'])); $to = "your@email.co.uk"; $subject = (isset($_POST['subject'])); $body = (isset($_POST['message'])); if ($subject == "") { $subject = "Email from website"; } else { $subject == $subject; } if ($_POST['name'] != "") { $_POST['name'] = filter_var($_POST['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); if ($_POST['name'] == "") { $errors .= 'Please enter a valid name.<br/><br/>'; } } else { $errors .= 'Please enter your name.<br/>'; } if ($_POST['email'] != "") { $email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $errors .= "$email is <strong>NOT</strong> a valid email address.<br/>"; } } else { $errors .= 'Please enter your email address.<br/>'; } if ($_POST['message'] != "") { $_POST['message'] = filter_var($_POST['message'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); if ($_POST['message'] == "") { $errors .= 'Please enter a message to send.<br/>'; } } else { $errors .= 'Please enter a message to send.<br/>'; } if (empty($errors)) { $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: " . $email . "\r\n"; $success = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); } if ($success) { echo "<p>The following email has been sent</p>\n"; echo "<p>Name: $name</p>\n"; echo "<p>E-mail: $email</p>"; echo "<p>Subject: $subject</p>\n"; echo "<p><em>*</em> Message: $body</p>\n"; echo "<p>While you are waiting for a response from one of our staff members.

"</span> </div>"; } ?> 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 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 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. What am I doing wrong? Here is the code I am using: contact.html Code: [Select] <form method="post" action="contactengine.php" id="commentForm"> <div class="form"> <p><input type="text" name="fullName" id="firstName" class="required" title="Full name" /></p> <p><input type="text" name="emailAddress" id="emailAddress" class="required" title="Email Address" /></p> <p><textarea type="text" name="message" id="message" class="required" title="Message"></textarea></p> </div> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" class="submit-button" title="Send" /></p> </form> contactengine.php $EmailFrom = "enquiries@aplinnovations.co.uk"; $EmailTo = "info@aplinnovations.co.uk"; $Subject = "Contact Form Submission"; $fullName = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name'])); $emailAddress = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email'])); $message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message'])); $Body = ""; $Body .= "Name: "; $Body .= $fullName; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Email: "; $Body .= $emailAddress; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Message: "; $Body .= $message; $Body .= "\n"; $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: $emailAddress"); I really have no idea how to code in PHP, I know I'm a newbie and I'm sure this is a really dumb question... but please help!
