I am trying to write a basic blog that i can post blogs and view them blogs. I have posted the blog by form action however what i want to try to do now is that get the data that i got from my csv into h1 h2 p2 on my viewpost.html. How would i be able to do this.
This is my index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Blog</title>
<link type='text/css' rel ='stylesheet' href="style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<form action="form_process.php" method="post">
<label for="title">Title</label>
<input type="text" name="title" id='title'/>
<label for="desc">Description</label>
<input type="text" name="desc" id='desc'/>
<label for="cont">Content</label>
<input type="text" name="cont" id='cont'/>
<input type="submit" name="formSubmit" value="Submit" />
</body>
</html>
This is form_process.php
<?php
if($_POST['formSubmit'] == "Submit")
{
$errorMessage = "";
if(empty($_POST['title']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter a title!</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['desc']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter a description!</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['cont']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>You forgot to enter a description!</li>";
}
$varTitle = $_POST['title'];
$varDesc = $_POST['desc'];
$varCont = $_POST['cont'];
if(empty($errorMessage))
{
$fs = fopen("mydata.csv","a");
fwrite($fs,$varTitle . ", " .$varDesc . ", " .$varCont . "\n");
fclose($fs);
header("Location: index.html");
exit;
}
}
?>
And lastly this is my viewpost.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> View Post</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="post">
<h1>Title</h1>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Content</p>
</body>
</html>

EDITED: Answered by #James solution is bolded in the code below.
Thanks again #James.
I have a form(HTML) which has a text field and upload a file to database.
Before I was using
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="POST" name="form1" enctype="multipart/form-data"></pre>
It was working fine, now I want the page to submit the entries to database and display a different page so I tried this
<form action="page3.php"......>, but didn't worked.
However when I click Submit button it make the entry for text field in database but does not upload the file to database.
What I want it to do is: when I click submit button, text field gets entered in database, file gets uploaded to database folder(and my program make its path entry to database), and new page which is loaded for the user to see.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

<?php
//ob_start();

die("cannot connect.");
}
//else if(!mysql_select_db($db_name)){
// die(" cannot select database.");
//}
session_start();
use foundationphp\UploadFile;
echo "Session value: ".$_SESSION['texas'];
$currentuser=$_SESSION['texas'];
echo $currentuser;
$current_year=date("Y");
//code for upload starts here

You need to include enctype='multipart/form-data' in your form tag:
<form action='<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>' method="POST" name="form1" enctype='multipart/form-data'>
Without it, attachments cannot be sent through the form.
Update
Try the below code. I fixed some HTML errors as well.
<?php
//ob_start();

$username="root";
$password="";
$db_name="newrep";
$table_name="members";

Here's my answer:
echo '<p class="games_image_result"><img src="uploaded_images/'.$row["games_image"].'" />';
You got a syntax error where you include a <?php and ?> inside your php, and on your echo at that.
So when you look at your img's src, it would have those.
Also, you forgot to close your img tag and your other p tags.
Your image tag isn't closed properly and the path to the image is not complete. You are only specifying the filename. I am not sure about your directory structure
echo '<p class="games_image_result"><img src="uploaded_images/<?php echo $row["games_image"];?>" />';
Display Image from DataBase using php
# SQL Statement
$sql = "SELECT `idimage` FROM `yourTableName` WHERE id=" . mysqli_real_escape_string($_GET['id']) . ";";
$result = mysqli_query("$sql") or die("Invalid query: " . mysqli_error());
# Set header
header("Content-type: image/your image name which type of your image");
echo mysqli_result($result, 0);
}
else
echo 'Please check the ID!';
?>

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.

Why will the email not work as planned and is the approach correct?
I am working with this DonationScript
Your problem may be in your regexp, the * is an unknown modifier in your code example. Try this... Delete the validate email function completely. Then change
if(!validate_email($_POST['emailField']))
to
if (!filter_var($_POST['emailField'], FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
and see if that works for you.
I'm trying to pass a value from a select input control on an HTML form.
When I hardcode it, it gets echoed, when not, all I get is this:
The invention type did not go through correctly.
Here is my page1.php:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['invtype'] = $invtype;
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
if ($_POST['firstname'] != "") {
$_POST['firstname'] = filter_var($_POST['firstname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if ($_POST['firstname'] == "") {
$errors .= 'Please enter a valid first name.<br/><br/>';
}
} else {
$errors .= 'Please enter your first name.<br/>';
}
if ($_POST['lastname'] != "") {
$_POST['lastname'] = filter_var($_POST['lastname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if ($_POST['lastname'] == "") {
$errors .= 'Please enter a valid last name.<br/><br/>';
}
} else {
$errors .= 'Please enter your last name.<br/>';
}
if (!$errors) {header("location: offerform_switch.php");
}
else {
echo '<div style="color: red">' . $errors . '<br/>
</div>';
}
}
?>

Here is my offerform_switch.php:
<?php
session_start();
// echo variable from the session, we set this on our other page
echo $_SESSION['invtype'];
$invtype = $_SESSION['invtype'];
//connect to your database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_connect("mysql.myserver.com","myuser","mypassword"); //(host, username, password)
//specify database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_select_db("invention") or die("Unable to select database"); //select which database we're using
switch ($invtype){
case "product":
include("page2_product.php");
break;
case "software":
include("page2_software.php");
break;
default:
echo "The invention type did not go through correctly.";
}
?>
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
It should be
$_SESSION['invtype'] = $_POST['invtype'];
You're missing "session_id();" right below the "session_start();". I don't know why exactly it's required, but if I remember correctly, it is.
