I want to echo the textarea value with PHP, so I create a simple form with HTML, and inside it I include textarea element with name of b64_place and then input to submit the values.
I check if b64_place is set, and if it is I echo the value of the textarea. But my program doesn't even get into the condition block, I try debugging and it is just not doing nothing.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="GET">
<textarea name="b64_place" form="encode">Enter text here:</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Encode">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_GET['b64_place'])) {
$base64e_text = htmlspecialchars($_GET['b64_place']);
echo $base64e_text;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Your textarea contains an attribute form This attribute is used to define the id of the form this input is attached to. So, when you submit the form, the textarea isn't bound with that form and the datas aren't send
You can either add an id to the form :
<!-- check this ----------------------v---------v -->
<form action="index.php" method="GET" id="encode">
<textarea name="b64_place" form="encode">Enter text here:</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Encode">
</form>
or simply remove the form="encode"
Edit based on suggestion from senior SO members,
The reason i recommend you to change the method to POST is because of the length limit of the GET method. At some point you may want to encode very large data and it may get trimmed of because of URL length limit. But with POST you don't have to worry about this restriction.
Steps to solve your issue.
If your Form and your PHP code is in the same file changethe action="index.php" to action="" and change the method="GET" to method="POST"
In text area use placeholder to tell the user what to input instead of writing it between the tags.
change $_GET to $_POST everywhere in your code.
You can copy the following code into the index.php and it will work fine.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<textarea name="b64_place" placeholder="Enter text here:"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Encode">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['b64_place'])) {
$base64e_text = htmlspecialchars($_POST['b64_place']);
echo $base64e_text;
}
?>
</body>
</html>

it is only displaying not set everytime I click on the submit button. I am unable to submit the form this is a sample code my actual code is also not working nor this. if there is something wrong with my system please help me with is too.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo "Button clicked";
} else{
echo "not set";
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample page</title>
</head>
<body>
<form name="form1" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
The default value of a form's method attribute is GET. The data is being submitted in the query string where it will be available through the $_GET superglobal.
To move the data to the request body, where it will be available through the $_POST superglobal, you need to specify method="POST" as an attribute on the <form>.
I have the code but it doesn't seem to work and I don't know why.
I don't know what the this.php is for.
here is the instruction:
Create a form with one input that accepts text.
Once the user submits the form, their original input should be shown in the input field and the number of words in their input should be shown below the form.
Display an error message if the user submits no input.
As a bonus, also display the number of characters in the input below the form.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body class="container">
<h1>Word Counter</h1>
<form action="this.php" method="post" class="form">
<textarea name="input" class="form-control" style="width:50%">
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['input'])){
echo $_POST['input'];
}
?>
</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Count!" />
</form>
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['input'])){
echo "<p><strong>Output:</strong><br>Number of Words: $words<br>Number of Characters: $chars</p>";
}
?>
</body>

I'm wondering if it would be possible to place two forms on the same page
and saving their cookie values respectively after clicking submit buttons.
With code below, when I click submit button on the first form, its cookie value is saved successfully but when I click on the second form, second value is saved but the first value is overwritten.
<?php
setcookie('username[user111]', $_POST['user111'], time()+60);
setcookie('username[user222]', $_POST['user222'], time()+60);
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>name：<?php echo $_POST['user111']; ?></p>
<form method="POST" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="user111" value="TOM">
<input type="submit" value="close">
</form>
<p>name：<?php echo $_POST['user222']; ?></p>
<form method="POST" action="">
<input type="hidden" name="user222" value="BOB">
<input type="submit" value="close">
</form>
</body>
</html>
I'd like to save both
Name:username[user111] Value:BOB
Name:username[user222] Value:TOM
If I could save the values respectively, it'd not necessary to use form submit
but if possible I'd like to use PHP instead of JavaScript.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi im trying to upload an image to a database using php but every time i press the submit button i get the error
accept-file.php was not found
i dont see anywhere in my code where it will be directing to that is there something im missing?
<?php
session_start();
$link = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","pictureupload");
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$imagename=$_FILES["iamge"]["name"];
$imagetmp=addslashes (file_get_contents($_FILES['image']['tmp_name']));
$insert_image="INSERT INTO images VALUES('$imagetmp','$imagename')";
mysqli_query($link,$insert_image);
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<Title>HomePage</Title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
<form action="accept-file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Your Image: <input type="file" name="image" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
change your form tag to
<form action="?"
Your form has "accept-file.php" set as action:
<form action="accept-file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
This is where the form data will be sent to via the set method (POST in this case) and using the given encoding type.
After you click on "submit" your browser will call this script, which in your case does not exist. Therefore your webserver will return the error message instead of handling the upload.
To make it work you need to change the action to the filename of your script, which you have posted above.
I have following codes

No problem, It works fine.
I used java script to sum two numbers.
Is it possible to add two numbers with php without using any submit button?
If yes then please guide me.

If you want to do it without a submit button and in php, you can use an AJAX request in javascript to the server, which will compute to value and then return it to the client.
here is the working sample.
First of all we need to create a html file named add.html.
here is the code of the add.html file…
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Addition</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="result.php" method="post">
Enter first Integer: <input type="text" name="first" size="5" /><br/>
Enter second Integer: <input type="text" name="sec" size="5" /><br/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Add" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
place it in the pseudo server folder. If your pseudo server is WampServer, then the path of the file will be
C:/wamp/www/add.html
now open your favorite browser and to the address bar type
localhost/add.html
You can see the add.html page. add with number
You can see two text box where you can input the numbers and a submit button. You can input two numbers into the input boxes and press the submit button (The Add button). But nothing will happen. Because the php will do the adding job.
Lets create the php file. You can name it result.php. As I have already declared in the add.html form action is the result.php.
<form action="result.php" method="post">
if you give different name of the php file then please change the form action php name in add.html.
Here is the php code of result.php…
<?php //Starting of php
$first = $_POST['first']; //Getting Value of first integer from add.html
$sec = $_POST['sec']; //Getting Value of Second integer from add.html
$res = $first + $sec; //Adding the two values and placing the added result to 'res' variable
echo 'Added Result:';
echo $first." + ".$sec." = ".$res; //Showing the result to the screen
//Ending of php
?>
save this result.php file in the server path where you have already placed the add.html file.
Now it is the time to test. Open your favorite browser and in the address bar type…
localhost/add.html
enter two numbers and hit the Add button. you will see that the browser will direct you to the result.php page where you can see the added result.
hope this will help you.
