PHP index is not recognized (post method) - php

I am very new to php and am still in the learning phase. I typed a small script 1 to 1 and had to find out that the index from my HTML file is not recognized in php. In the given video the "GET" method is used, but it should actually work exactly the same way. It is just a test script. Nevertheless, an answer would be helpful.
Here are my scripts:
HTML:
<form id="register-form" action="Memeon.php" method="post">
<img class="register_avatar" src="pictures/login_register_avatar.png" oncontextmenu="return false;">
<h2>Welcome to Memeon</h2>
<div class="reg-input-div one">
<div class="i">
<i class="fas fa-user"></i>
</div>
<div>
<h5>Username</h5>
<input id="reg_un" class="reg-input" name="username" type="text" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false">
</div>
</div>
<div class="reg-input-div two">
<div class="i">
<i class="fas fa-at"></i>
</div>
<div>
<h5>Email-Adress</h5>
<input id="reg_ea" class="reg-input" name="email" type="email" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false">
</div>
</div>
<div class="reg-input-div three">
<div class="i">
<i class="fas fa-lock"></i>
</div>
<div>
<h5>Password</h5>
<input id="reg_pw" class="reg-input" name="password" type="password" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false">
</div>
</div>
<a id="rl_l1" href="#">2-Factor-Authentication</a>
<a id="rl_l2" href="#">Forgot Password?</a>
<input type="submit" onclick="setRegisterInfo()" class="register_btn" value="Sign in">
</form>
PHP:
<?php
echo "Hallo ". $_POST["username"];
?><br>
Der sehnlichst erwünschte Newsletter wird gesendet an <?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?>
Both are in the same folder. With a submit button I get to the PHP page. An error always appears there.

Maybe it haves to be with something in your "setRegisterInfo()" function (is it implemented ? if so, you should post it here too :) ) in the "onclick" attribute of the submit input at the very end. If that function breaks, the form won't be submitted.
<input type="submit" onclick="setRegisterInfo()" class="register_btn" value="Sign in">
Try again without that function.
<input type="submit" class="register_btn" value="Sign in">

is it possible to send user entered keyword through anchor tag in php

i have a searchbox in my website like below:
<div style="" class="col-sm-8">
<div class="wrapda">
<div class="searchda">
<a href="https://google.com">
<input type="text" class="searchTermda" placeholder="Search Image">
<button type="submit" class="searchButtonda">
<i class="fa fa-search">Search</i>
</button>
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
am trying to pass the user entered keyword in the input box to next page , is there anyway to do this using anchor tags, please help. thanks in advance
Instead of using anchor tag, the more standard way is to use form.
<div style="" class="col-sm-8">
<div class="wrapda">
<div class="searchda">
<form method="POST" action="your target url">
<input type="text" name="searchInput" class="searchTermda" placeholder="Search Image">
<button type="submit" class="searchButtonda">
<i class="fa fa-search">Search</i>
</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You have to specify the action attribute in the form tag which will be your target url.
You also have to specify the name attribute in the input tag.
This way your input will be sent to your target url.
You can use form for this purpose.
<form action="https://www.google.com/search" method="GET" />
<input type="text" placeholder="Search Image" name="q" />
<input type="submit" value="Search Image" />
</form>

Search form not showing any results

I am making HTML/CSS search form using PHP and MySQL. IT doesn't display data I want. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I already have PHP working output for other options, it is just this search method is not finding any results. Been stuck for a while and decided to ask.
if (isset($_POST["searchcrews"]))
{
$searchparam = "%{$_POST['search']}%";
$stmt=$conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM crewdata WHERE name LIKE ? AND is_approved =? ORDER BY (vote_up - vote_down) DESC LIMIT ?,?");
$stmt->bind_param('s',$searchparam);
$stmt->execute();
$result=$stmt->get_result();
}
HTML/CSS
<form id="searchcrews">
<div class="box">
<div class="container-4">
<input type="text" id="search" placeholder="Search crew.." />
<button type="submit" class="icon"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
try this hope it helps made some modification in form and button
<form id="searchcrews" method="post">
<div class="box">
<div class="container-4">
<input type="text" id="search" name="search" placeholder="Search crew.." />
<input type="submit" class="icon" name="searchcrews">
</div>
</div>
</form>
Add the 'name' attribute to your input tag and the method to the form tag.
<form id="searchcrews" method="POST">
<div class="box">
<div class="container-4">
<input type="text" id="search" placeholder="Search crew.." />
<button type="submit" class="icon"><i class="fa fa-search"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>

two javascript forms on one page

I cant get the two forms to play with each other.. - meaning I have one form that sends an email - and another that is using a search function. The email form is working ok. Validates just fine, but when I click on the search button, it doesn't do anything. ( the search form is working fine if I remove the email form )
What am I missing ??.. ugh..
I've been working on this, but my brain is fried. I am sure it is something simple.
Any help from you guys would be much appreciated.
<form method="post" action="contact.php" name="contactform" id="contactform">
<div class="full-lenght">
<div class="to-left">Name<br>
<span class="small-required">Required</span> </div>
<div class="to-right">
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" value="" class="contact-field" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="full-lenght">
<div class="to-left">Email<br>
<span class="small-required">Required</span> </div>
<div class="to-right">

</div>
</div>

</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="human">3 + 1 = ?<br>
<input name="verify" type="text" id="verify" size="4" value="" style="width: 30px;" />
<input name="e" type="submit" class="contact-button" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>
<div class="search">
<form class="form" action="search_results.php" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text" class="search_field" value="Search.." onfocus="if (this.value=='Search..') this.value='';">
<a onclick=" document.forms[0].submit();return false" href="#"><img class="search_button" title="Search Button" src="images/search_button.jpg" alt="" width="24" height="24"></a> <br>
<br>
</form>
</div>
This is the code. The second form starts in search div. The first one is an email form with ajax validation.
try this,
in the second form
<form class="form" id="searchform" action="search_results.php" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text" class="search_field" value="Search.." onfocus="if (this.value=='Search..') this.value='';" />
<a onclick=" document.getElementById('searchform').submit();return false" href="#"><img class="search_button" title="Search Button" src="images/search_button.jpg" alt="" width="24" height="24"/></a> <br/>
<br/>
</form>
This doesn't have anything to do with PHP, but does have everything to do with JavaScript.
Change:
<a onclick=" document.forms[0].submit();return false" href="#">
to:
<a onclick="document.forms[1].submit();" href="#">
You're using legacy DOM notation in your JavaScript, which is OK but outdated. When you have forms[0] you're referring to the first form in the DOM which isn't the search form (the contact form is), forms[1] is the search form. Clicking the icon will fail without the change, but you could type in the box and hit enter and it will work, since the JavaScript you have won't be triggered (no click). I also see no need to keep the return false statement in there.
<form class="form" action="search_results.php" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text" class="search_field" value="Search.." onfocus="if (this.value=='Search..') this.value='';">
<input type="submit" value='Search'> <br>
<br>
This problem you used anchor tag as button form and it doesn't work for submitting form so you can either replace anchor tag with input tag "submit type" as you see in code or you can use JavaScript to make anchor tag when you click on it, it fires a submitting form.
Enjoy :)

form is sending variables by get method

i got a form.
<form id="site-contact-form">
<div>
<div class="wrapper"><span>Ձեր անունը:</span>
<div class="bg">
<div>
<input type="text" class="input" name="contactname" id="contactname" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="wrapper"><span>Ձեր E-mail-ը:</span>
<div class="bg">
<div>
<input type="text" class="input" name="email" id="email" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="textarea_box"><span>Տեկստ:</span>
<div class="bg">
<div>
<textarea cols="1" rows="1" name="message" id="message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<button id="sub" name="submit">ուղարկել</button>
</div>
</form>
As you see i got no action on it, no method. But when im clicking on button, its refreshing the page (like when it have action) and adding to URL ?contactname=&email=&message=&submit= ... I never met this problem before, why it is sending variables? I dont have any php on page yet...
Beacause the default method is GET and the URL is the same of the page. Use:
<form method="POST" action="/reactor">
<!-- .... -->
</form>
Actually, the action property is mandatory.
Please correct the code with:
<form id="site-contact-form" method="post">
And the submitted values will not be displayed on the URL.
If you do not specify the form method, it will "get" by default.
This is happening here.
Change the type of button as button
<button id="sub" name="submit" type="button">ուղարկել</button>

submit form data into iframe via post [file upload]

UGH.
Hi.
I have a form. I'd like to know how/if I could submit this form to an iFrame that has the page that will handle the file upload/naming.
If I try even something simple like post an input/text to the form, nothing happens (the handler is set to echo the $_POST). I have tried setting the iframe name/id et. al. and setting the form target to the respective iframe name/id. When I hit submit, the iframe just sits there like a dummy. WTF am I doing wrong?
Thx.
<form action="/clients/testAddTrans/<?=$clientID?>" id="reportEdit" class="EditName" method="POST" target="transFrame">
<div class="inputDiv">
<span class="inputLabel">Description:</span>

I don't know why it is putting the </form> tag where it is.. It is supposed to be after the iframe, but whatever. Does that even matter? Is the iframe supposed to be inside the form?
Nice, I was wrong.. I found the problem.
First use html for write html;
With the code below works:
for 'testSubmitiFrame.html':
<form target="transFrame" method="POST" class="EditName" id="reportEdit" action="testSubmitiFrame.php">
<div class="content" id="overDivContent">
<div class="inputDivContainer">
<fieldset class="inputOverDiv" id="tfa_Names">
<legend><b>Add Transmittal:</b></legend>
<div class="data">
<div class="inputDiv">
<span class="inputLabel">Description:</span>
<span class="textInput"><input type="text" class="" size="40" value="" name="transDesc" id="transDesc"/></span>
</div>
<div class="inputDiv">
<span class="inputLabel">Date:</span>
<span class="textInput"><input type="text" class="" size="40" value="" name="transDate" id="date"/></span>
</div>
<div class="inputDiv">
<span class="inputLabel">File:</span>
<span class="textInput"><input type="file" class="" size="40" value="" name="transFile" id="file"/></span>
</div>
<input type="hidden" value="121" name="name_id"/>
<br/>
<div align="center" class="actions" id="overDivActions">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="hideOverDiv()" class="secondaryAction"/>
</div>
<div style="display: none;" class="overDivNotice" id="overDivNotice"></div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<iframe style="" name="transFrame" id="transFrame">tyh</iframe>
for 'testSubmitiFrame.php':
<?php
var_dump($_POST);
?>
Your problem is html syntax. This works.
Apparently, a div or stupid fieldset tag being out of place was preventing the thing from working. I really gotta start checking my code before bothering you nice people.
Thanks anyway.
Your logic appears valid, can you setup a test page?
This page will do what you want, so you may want to look through it and see what may be different from what you are already doing:
http://www.anyexample.com/programming/php/php_ajax_example__asynchronous_file_upload.xml
Is the action in the html the php file that will do the processing?
I think it's because of these two lines:
echo "</div>";
echo "</div><br>
You're closing <div> with no opening tags. This is making Firefox close the <form> early - your submit button isn't inside your form, which is why it's not working.
The position of the iframe inside or outside the form doesn't matter - just make sure the rest of the HTML is valid and it should work.
