I have the assignment below and I'm stuck at Step # 3 with the code file named inputforassignment2.php --basically, I am trying to append (add) rows to the existing data (songs.csv file) via that file with input fields. I tried to fix that code (which i obtained from a website, see sample source code far below, but it's returning errors or creates blank and numerical data in rows for each input.
Assignment: Create a simple PHP page that reads/writes to and from a .CSV file
The .CSV file should contain a list of your favorite items (for
example: songs, games, books, authors, etc,..). Each record in your
file should contain at least 3 attributes for your favorite item.
Also, it should have at least 7 records. --this part is done
The PHP should read the file and display the records in a TABLE with
the corresponding headers for each attribute of your favorite item.
--this part is done
Also, in the page should be a link (<< I did that part) that takes to another page where a new record can be added to the file. Then the list should display all previous records plus the new one. (<< where I am stuck)

I know this question has been asked many times before over the years. However, I am facing the wall after attempting to correctly implement all the potential solutions that others have listed in this post: "https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17242346/php-session-lost-after-redirect".
I know my session variables exist before using "header("location: nextPage.php");" to redirect. As soon as I put the line in the code, the session variables disappear. I am posting all my code because I did tried all the solutions I have seen. So maybe, the problem is my code and someone can find what I am doing wrong.
Thank you in advance.

I've wrote this code for a comment section for my website. But that was suppose to show error message beside the '*' sign when anyone types in incorrect email or empty comment. It was doing good, but after I've added the CSS styles it is not working.
I'm reading the input and passing that to PHP. After PHP checks that, I save that to a comment folder. Or else if the format is wrong, I give an error message. But now the error message is not showing for some reason.

You get error cause the variables are not defined.
I have a form that writes an array to CSV, and then displays a password. Each time the form is used data is written to a new line in the CSV and the same password is displayed.
I would like to display a different password each time the form is submitted.
So the first time someone uses the form, their $name,$starttime,$endtime,$today,$message & #pwrd[0] are all written to the CSV, and then #pwrd[0] is displayed on the page.
The second time someone fills the form, their $name,$starttime,$endtime,$today,$message & #pwrd[1] are all written to the CSV, and then #pwrd[1] is displzyed on the page.
Essentially I want to give out different credentials to each visitor, and record their details each time. Ideally these creds are pulled from a fairly secure place, but an array,text file or CSV will do for this application..
Many Thanks in advance!! :)

I have a form set up and a php file (as shown below) that I have saved data in csv file to validate the input and then redirect to a different website (index.html). The validation and csv export works perfectly, but I can't figure out how to get the form to redirect to the wanted page instead of just showing the post return.
Try below code:
<?php
header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
?>
I'm unable to solve the logical error in the code. I'm not sure what is wrong though it seems the logic is correct
This is my php:
<?php require_once("includes/connection.php"); ?>
<?php
include_once("includes/form_functions.php");
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$errors = array();
if(isset($_POST['txtSpace']))
{
$choice_spc_port = $_POST["txtSpace"];
}
if(isset($_POST['txtNumber']))
{
$choice_no = $_POST["txtNumber"];
}
if(isset($_POST['txtLocation']))
{
$choice_loc = $_POST["txtLocation"];
if($choice_loc =="txtSetXY")
{
$x = $_POST["txtXLocation"];
$y = $_POST["txtYLocation"];
if($x == "")
{
$message = "You forgot to enter X Value";
}
elseif($y == "")
{
$message = "You forgot to enter Y Value";
}
else
{
$choice_loc = $x . "," . $y;
}
}
}
$user_name = $_POST["txtUserName"];
$user_email = $_POST["txtUserEMail"];
$animal_name = $_POST["txtAnimalName"];
$disp_msg = $_POST["txtDispMsg"];
$comments = $_POST["txtComments"];
if(!isset($_POST['txtSpace']))
{
$message = "Please select Space Portion";
}
elseif(!isset($_POST['txtNumber']))
{
$message = "Please select the number of animals";
}
elseif(!isset($_POST['txtLocation']))
{
$message = "Please select the desired location of animal";
}
elseif($user_name == "")
{
$message = "Please enter your name.";
}
elseif($user_email == "")
{
$message = "Please enter your email.";
}
elseif($animal_name == "")
{
$message = "Please enter the name of the animal.";
}
elseif($disp_msg == "")
{
$message = "What message you want to dedicate to the animal?.";
}
else
{
// validation
$required_fields = array('txtUserName','txtUserEMail','txtAnimalName','txtDispMsg');
$errors = array_merge($errors, check_required_fields($required_fields, $_POST));
$user_name = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['txtUserName']));
$user_email = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['txtUserEMail']));
$animal_name = trim(mysql_prep($_POST['txtAnimalName']));

if(empty($errors))
{
/*if($choice_loc == "txtSetXY")

if($choice_no == "other")
{

}
$insert = "INSERT INTO db_form (db_space_portion, db_number, db_location, db_user_name, db_user_email, db_animal_name, db_message, db_comments) VALUES ('{$choice_spc_port}', '{$choice_no}', '{$choice_loc}', '{$user_name}', '{$user_email}','{$animal_name}','{$disp_msg}','{$comments}')";
$result = mysql_query($insert);
if($result)
{
echo("<br>Input data is succeed");
}
else
{
$message = "The data cannot be inserted.";
$message .= "<br />" . mysql_error();
}
}
else
{
if(count($errors) == 1)

Errors:
Check this php fiddle here.
line 25. This is never shown even if I leave x textfield blank
$message = "You forgot to enter X Value";
same is with line 29. This is never shown even if I leave y textfield blank
$message = "You forgot to enter Y Value";
However if I enter the values in x and y textfield i.e. in txtXLocation and in txtYLocation they are being saved in db meaning it is just not checking the validation.
Thanks in advance
make sure you have connection.php file in includes folder and you have given correct path to reach that file.
