I want to show a button in my page only if a certain condition is met.
Also i want to run a query (DELETE QUERY) when i press that button.
<?php if (isset($_POST['finduser_btn']) && $noerr) :
echo "<div class='green'>
<button type='submit' class='btn' name='scoreDel'>Delete scores</button>
</div>
endif ?>
I use $noerr as FLAG to display or not the button if another button is pressed (the other button is not shown in code)
Well, how do i use scoreDel button to run a query like:
DELETE FROM scores
WHERE name = '$username$;
I think i have some issue with " and ' into the PHP echoing html tags but i'm not sure... I hope in some help, i'm getting mad.
Thanks in advance
You need a form in order to submit your action.
echo '<form action="mypage.php" method="POST"><div class="green">
<button type="submit" class="btn" name="scoreDel">Delete scores</button>
</div></form>';
Try the following:
<?php if (isset($_POST['finduser_btn']) && $noerr) : ?>
<div class='green'>
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="finduser">
<button type='submit' class='btn' name='scoreDel'>Delete scores</button>
</form>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
Use a form to submit the button tag. Also, write html outside of PHP code if possible.

I have the following code which is causing me problem. The code generates two buttons, one to remove the selected project and the other to cancel the deletion of the project. The remove function works well, however I haven't found a way to make my cancel button redirect to my url (when I click on it, nothing happens). Any clue?
...
echo "<form method='post'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' value='".$currentid."' name='project'/>";
echo "<b>".$project_name."</b>";
?>
<div class="btn_2"> <input type="submit" name="save" value="Remove"><input type="submit" onclick="window.location.replace('www.myurl.ca')" value="Cancel"></div>
</form>
You're using a submit button and tagging JS on to it. I'm expecting that you're actually submitting the form, but I could be wrong.
If nothing is happening with your JS, you may try doing window.location.href = "www.myurl.ca"; return false; where including the return false should avoid the submit.
The best solution would probably be to make it a plain button and wrap it in an A tag. You would avoid submitting your form, redirect, and all without requiring JS be active.
...
echo "<form method='post'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' value='".$currentid."' name='project'/>";
echo "<b>".$project_name."</b>";
?>
<div class="btn_2"> <input type="submit" name="save" value="Remove"><button type="button">Cancel</button></div>
</form>
Using the formaction button attribute works.
<input type="submit" name="save" value="Cancel" formaction="http://www.myurl.ca">
There I have three buttons and when I click them I want to get there value using PHP here's my code
<form action="" method="POST">
<button name="apple" value="apple">apple</button>
<button name="windows" value="windows">windows</button>
<button name="linux" value="linux">linux</button>
</form>
Thank you
You can try this:
//for apple button or change to windows/linux if you want to get the other value
if (isset($_POST['apple'])) {
echo $_POST['apple'];
}
I have a php file that has 3 forms inside and some insert queries and i separate them with if(isset()) based on what variable comes from $_POST. I want to make the forms appear for example on the center of the page and when the user presses submit the form fades out and the next one from the isset appears. How can i do that?
For example this is the first form
<?php if (!isset($_POST['date'])): ?>
<?php if (!isset($_GET['id'])):?>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
Date :
<input type="text" name="date" id="date"> </br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script>
$("#date").datepicker();
</script>
<?php endif;?>
<?php endif;?>
And then if the user presses submit there is an if(isset()) with an insert query.
After the insert query there is another form
<?php if (isset($_GET['id'])): ?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?><?php echo " ?id=" . $_GET['id'] . " &date=" . $_GET['date'] . " &seats=" . $_GET['seats']; ?>" method="post">
Ώρα :
<input type="text" name="time">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>
<?php endif;?>
So what i want is to display them on the center of my page but i dont have to open another page every time i press submit and they will fadeout (or something similar) and display the next form.
Sounds like you could do this with css. Not sure I understand your question though.
display all 3 forms on the page at once -> no isset stuff, I don't get what that is there for
hide the ones you don't want the user to see with a class ".hide"
submit the forms with jquery, as you don't want the page to reload. after submitting, hide the one you just sumbmitted by setting its class to hide and removing hide from the next form
form{
transition: opacity 2s;
}
form.hide{
opacity:0;
}
I am currently trying to make a hyperlink that calls the same page that I am on, but a different PHP function. This seems like a simple enough solution however I don't want any information displayed in the URL. A "post" seems to be the best solution but I cannot find any results as to how to make this work.
<?php
function myFirst(){
echo 'The First ran successfully.';
}
function mySecond(){
echo 'The Second ran successfully.';
}
?>
<html><body>
<?php
if (isset($_GET['run'])){
$linkchoice=$_GET['run'];
}else{
$linkchoice='';
}
switch($linkchoice){
case 'first' :
myFirst();
break;
case 'second' :
mySecond();
break;
default :
echo 'no run';
}
?>
<hr>
Link to First
<br/>
Link to Second
<br/>
Refresh No run
</body></html>
If u want to use POST by pressing something in the page, u can either use JS to turn that into a POST request, or simply submit a form.
Assuming u use jQuery
go somewhere
<form id="koko" style="display:none" target="baba/was/here/this/is/the/url" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="run" value="boo" />
</form>
...
...
function manda_mi(){
$('#koko').submit();
}
If you want to avoid Javascript you could wrap the links in a form, and style the buttons to look like normal links.
Basically:
<button type="submit" value="first" name="action">Link to First</button>
<br/>
<button type="submit" value="second" name="action">Link to Second</button>
<br/>
<button type="submit" value="0" name="run">Refresh no Run</button>
And then just check what button was pressed.
Although the simplest option is probably Javascript.
I have a PHP generated form which consists of a list of items, each with a button next to them saying "Remove This" it outputs similar to below:
Item A - [Remove This]
Item B - [Remove This]
...
I wish to be able to click Remove This and it will detect which item it is, and then remove that from the database. Here's my code so far:
selectPlaces.php
<?php
include 'data.php';
mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Wrong Information");
mysql_select_db($db) or die("Wrong Database");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM reseller_addresses") or die ("Broken Query");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
$placeName = stripslashes($row['b_name']);
$placeCode = stripslashes($row['b_code']);
$placeTown = stripslashes($row['b_town']);
$outputPlaces .= "<strong>$letter:</strong> $placeName, $placeTown, $placeCode <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"removePlace()\" value=\"Remove This\" /><br />";
}
mysql_close();
?>
Coupled with my admin.php
<div id="content" style="display:none">
Remove a Place<br><br>
<?php include 'selectPlaces.php'; echo $outputPlaces; ?>
</div>
I know I need to add some javascript to detect which button is clicked but I can't seem to get it working. I tried modifying the onclick="removePlace()" by perhaps passing a variable in the function removePlace(placeID) or something like that, but I'm new to JavaScript and I have no idea how to receive this in the removePlace function.
This seems easier to do without JavaScript. For each entry instead of generating just a button, generate a form that posts to a PHP script that does the deleting.
<form action="deletePlace.php?id=<?php echo $idOfThePlace?>">
<input type="submit" value="Remove This" />
</form>
$idOfThePlace would be the ID with you use to identify the data row.
You don't need JavaScript for that. Try running this example:
<?php var_dump($_POST); ?>
<form action="post.php" method="post">
<p>
<input type="submit" value="a" name="action" />
<input type="submit" value="b" name="action" />
</p>
</form>
You'll see that $_POST['action'] will depend on which button was pressed. For your example, you just need to set the value to identify the item that needs to be deleted. It might be useful to use the <button> element for that: <button name="delete" type="submit" value="12345">delete item 12345</button>. It'll show up as $_POST['delete'] with 12345 as value when submitted.
