So I want to replace the form submission with a thank you message after you submit, I need the PHP because this will eventually deal with databases in that php, however right now... The only way it works, is that is Type in a name, press submit. It goes back to a blank form, enter nothing (nothing in address) and submit again and it works...
right now the only way i could think of making it work would be some dummy checkbox where when checked value changes the post is sent. However i don't think that will pass with my groupmates
wondering how i can make it only have to submit once.
Index.PHP
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<?php include_once "thankyou.php"; ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-3.1.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("document").ready(function() {
$("#ContactUs_Submit").click(function(evt) {
<?php $inputName = $_POST["ContactUs_Name"]; ?>
$("#ContactUs_CommentsDiv").replaceWith("<?php
thankyou($inputName); ?>");
return false;
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="ContactUs_CommentsDiv">
<form method="post">
<!-- WITH JQUERY USE SINGLE URL, WITH PAGES-->
<label for="ContactUs_Name">Name: </label>
<input type="text" name="ContactUs_Name" id="ContactUs_Name" />
<br/>
<Label for="ContactUs_Email">Email: </Label>
<input type="email" name="ContactUs_Email" id="ContactUs_Email" />
<br/>
<input id="ContactUs_Submit" type="submit">
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
thankyou.php
<?php
function thankyou($name) {
echo "<p> Thank you for your input ";
//if ($_POST["ContactUs_Name"] != "") {
// echo " " . $_POST["ContactUs_Name"];
// }
if ($name != ""){
echo $name;
}
echo "!";
}
?>
Can you not just use AJAX to do this?

I made this simple chat site for my website but I don't know how to make it auto refresh every time a message has been sent.
Site that sends and prints out all messages:
<form action="messages.php" method="POST">
<input name="chat_box" /><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
<?php
include "messages.txt";
?>
Site that sends text input to a text file:
<?php
$messages = $_POST["chat_box"];
$handler=fopen("messages.txt", 'a');
fwrite($handler,$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"].":".$messages."<br>");
fclose($handler);
header("Location: chat_box.php");
?>
Can anyone help me?
Try this code :
This is a messages.php :
<?php
$page = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$sec = "10";
?>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="<?php echo $sec?>;URL='<?php echo $page?>'">
</head>
<body>
<form action="messages.php" method="POST">
<input name="chat_box" /><br>
<input type="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
<?php
include "messages.txt"; //Uncomment this to check the autorefresh
echo "Auto refresh in 10 second!";
$messages = $_POST["chat_box"];
$handler=fopen("messages.txt", 'a');
fwrite($handler,$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"].":".$messages."<br>");
fclose($handler);
?>
</body>
</html>
Hope this help you out... :)
If you mean to get new messages, your best bet is probably to re-load the text file every 10 seconds. to do so replace the php in the bottom of your 1st code set with this:
<div id="messages"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
function functionToLoadFile(){
jQuery.get('messages.txt', function(data) {
$("#messages").html(data)
});
}
setInterval(functionToLoadFile, 10000);
});
</script>
Hi all this is an easy question but right now i can't think about ..
I've a form where people can insert a personal code like "Abcdef301"
On submit i want to redirect them to url:
http://domain.tld/yoururls/Abcdef301
I've tried with some Post and Get (like the emails form but i've failed)
Any help?
<?php
if(isset($_POST['VAI'])) {
if(isset($_POST['text']) && $_POST['text'] != "") {
header("Location: http://domain.tld/yoururls/".$_POST['text']);
} else {
// handle error of no code in form field here if you want to
}
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>page title</title>
</head>
<div id="feedback-form">
<div class="success-block"></div>
<form action="" method="post">
<input name="text" placeholder="Inserire Codice Evento" required type="text">
<input type="submit" value="VAI" class="btn">
</form>
</div>
</html>
Should be what you're looking for.
I've done this so often before on different websites, but can't get it to work now.
I've got a simple form that posts perfectly well using a submit button, but for a specific reason I actually need it to submit via a url link instead. I'm using submit(). The form submits, but the data isn't posting.
What am I missing?
<html>
<body>
<?
if(isset($_POST['bar'])) { echo 'testing button<br>'; }
if(isset($_POST['information'])) {
echo $_POST['information'];
echo '</br>Info successfully posted.';
}
?>
<form action="test.php" method="post" id="fooform">
Hello World.<br>
Select checkbox: <input type="checkbox" id="information" name="information" value="yes">
<input type="submit" name="bar" value="Send"><br>
Confirm and Post<br>
Post Directly
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SubmitForm(formId) {
var oForm = document.getElementById(formId);
alert("Submitting");
if (oForm) { oForm.submit(); }
else { alert("DEBUG - could not find element " + formId); }
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
The form starts to submit, then the href of the link is followed, and this cancels the form submission.
If you are using old-style onclick attributes, then return false; at the end to prevent the default action.
You would, however, be better off using a submit button (you are submitting a form). You can use CSS to change its appearance.
Try this code :
<html>
<body>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['bar'])) {
echo 'testing button<br>';
}
if (isset($_POST['information'])) {
echo $_POST['information'];
echo '</br>Info successfully posted.';
}
?>
<form action="test.php" method="post" id="fooform">
Hello World.<br>
Select checkbox: <input type="checkbox" id="information" name="information" value="yes">
<input type="submit" name="bar" value="Send"><br>
Confirm and Post<br>
Post Directly
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function SubmitForm(formId) {
var oForm = document.getElementById(formId);
alert("Submitting");
if (oForm) {
oForm.submit();
}
else {
alert("DEBUG - could not find element " + formId);
}
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
try to submit form with form id in jquery
<a class="submit">Post Directly </a>
$('a.submit').click(function(){
$('#fooform').submit();
})
OK so I have an email form on index.php. I am using mail_check.php to validate that both fields are filled in.
(there are more that is being validated, but not included as it is not the issue)
The main issue is that from the mail_check.php I want to be sent back to the index.php with a message in placed in the div id="mailrespond". I have chosen both PHP and Javascript to achieve this.
Index.php
<div id="mailrespond"></div>
<form method="post" action="mail_check.php">
<span>Name: <input type="text" name="name" maxlength="30" /></span><br />
<span>Email: <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="30" /></span><br />
<input type="submit" value="Sign Up" name="registration">
</form>
</div>
mail_check.php
if(isset($_POST['registration']))
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
if(empty($email) || empty($name)){
// if email and name are empty
//header ("location: index.php");
?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.location.replace("index.php");
function msg() {
// creating elements are a safer method then innerHTML
dv = document.createElement('div'); // creates a Div element
dv.setAttribute('class', 'error_msg'); // adds error styling
txt = document.createTextNode('please enter your name and email '); // create the message
dv.appendChild(txt); // place the text node on the element
document.getElementById("mailrespond").appendChild(dv);
}
window.onload = msg;
</script>
<?php }
The code goes on, but My issue is that I am not getting the feed back messages. I am a little new to this all - if you can help that would be much appreciated! :)
<---- #downvoter please leave a reason! Thanks
Try this (and don't call a form field name, please since a form can have a name too)
Index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Mail respond</title>
<script>
window.onload=function() {
document.getElementById("mailform").onsubmit=function(){
if (this.fullname.value=="" || this.email.value=="") {
alert("Please fill in name and email");
return false;
}
return true; // allow form submission
}
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="mailrespond"></div>
<form method="post" action="mail_check.php" id="mailform">
<span>Name: <input type="text" name="fullname" maxlength="30" /></span><br />
<span>Email: <input type="text" name="email" maxlength="30" /></span><br />
<input type="submit" value="Sign Up" name="registration">
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
mail_check.php
<?PHP
if(isset($_POST['registration']))
$name = $_POST['fullname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
if(empty($email) || empty($name)){
// if email and name are empty - only seen if JavaScript is turned off
?>
<h3>You did not fill in name and email</h3>
<p>please wait to be redirected or click <a href='index.php'>here</a></p>;
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3; url=http://example.com/index.php" />
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload=function() {
setTimeout(function() {
window.location.replace("index.php");
},3000);
}
</script>
<?php } ?>
You're redirecting to index.php in the msg function, so it does nothing else.
You should do it by pure PHP, set a component in $_SESSION, redirect by PHP to index.php and in the index.php check if the component exists.
I'm having difficulty figuring out why my PHP form is processing on process.php but not returning to the form page with the appropriate $messages. Am I missing a line of code? I wrote this all up myself and it's the first time.
Here is my html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test Contact Form - jQuery</title>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Contact Us</h3>
<?php echo $contact_message; ?>
<form id="myForm" method="post" action="process.php">
<input name="name" type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST[name]; ?>" placeholder="Name" required/>
<br>
<input name="email" type="email" value="<?php echo $_POST[email]; ?>" placeholder="you#yourmail.com" required/>
<br>
<textarea name="message" class="message" placeholder="We can answer your questions." required>
<?php echo $_POST[message]; ?>
</textarea>
<br>
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn send">
<img src="img/send.png">
</button>
<br>
<?php echo $contact_success_message; ?>
</form>
<!--close contact form-->
</body>
</html>
And here is my process.php
<?php
//checks for valid email
function is_valid_email($email) {
$result = true;
$pattern = '/^([a-z0-9])(([-a-z0-9._])*([a-z0-9]))*\#([a-z0-9])(([a-z0-9-])*([a-z0-9]))+(\.([a-z0-9])([-a-z0-9_-])?([a-z0-9])+)+$/i';
if(!preg_match($pattern, $email)) {
$result = false;
}
return $result;
}
//when send is pressed, validate fields
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$valid = true;
$contact_message = '';
if ( $_POST['name'] == "" ) {
$contact_message .= "You forgot to tell us your name. ";
$valid = false;
}
if ( !is_valid_email($_POST['email']) ) {
$contact_message .= "A valid email is required, don't worry we don't share it with anyone. ";
$valid = false;
}
if ( $_POST['message'] == "" ) {
$contact_message .= "What did you want to ask us? ";
$valid = false;
}
//if everything checks out, send the message!
if ( $valid == true ) {
$safe_email = str_replace("\r\n","",$_POST[email]);
$mail = "From: $_POST[name]\n";
$mail .= "Email: $_POST[email]\n";
$mail .= "$_POST[message]\n";
mail('ME#MYEMAIL.COM','New Contact from RN+',$mail,"From: $safe_email\r\n");
$contact_success_message = 'Brilliant I say! We will be in contact with you shortly.';
//clear form when submission is successful
unset($_POST);
}
}
?>
I could have sworn that I've used this before but this time it's not returning to the contact page.
It looks like you meant to use the code like this:
form.php
<?php include 'process.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Test Contact Form - jQuery</title>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Contact Us</h3>
<?php echo $contact_message; ?>
<form id="myForm" method="post" action="process.php">
<input name="name" type="text" value="<?php echo $_POST[name]; ?>" placeholder="Name" required/><br>
<input name="email" type="email" value="<?php echo $_POST[email]; ?>" placeholder="you#yourmail.com" required/><br>
<textarea name="message" class="message" placeholder="We can answer your questions." required><?php echo $_POST[message]; ?></textarea><br>
<button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn send"><img src="img/se
__
formnd.png"></button><br>
<?php echo $contact_success_message; ?>
</form><!--close contact form-->
</body>
</html>
The form processor will set the appropriate variables you are outputting in your HTML code. Since process.php checks if the method is POST, you don't have to do that in the form page.
If you want process.php to redirect back to your form, you need to add a PHP header code like: header('Location: http://www.example.com/form.php');
If you want to carry through any data back to the original page, include it in the URL as a GET variable: header('Location: http://www.example.com/form.php?message='.$messagetext); You can then retrieve this on your form page through use of GET: echo $contact_success_message = $_GET['message'];
Do not forget to exit(); or die(); after your redirect!
If you don't have any reason for excluding a single PHP page, you could merge the two (form and process) into one php page.
<?php
//checks for valid email function
...
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
...
}
?>
...your HTML goes here...
This will display just the form if no data has been submitted, and if the form has been submitted will "reload" the page, perform the action, and display the appropriate message. Change the form action to action="" so the file will post to itself.
I would recommend using jQuery validation. It is easier and will help with any issues you might have in returning the message.
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation
Something like this...
$("#myForm").validate({
rules: {
name: { required: true; }
},
messages: {
name: "You forgot to tell us your name.",
}
});
You can do this for email fields and for your whole form. You can find plenty of examples online.
Just include your other fields. If you do it this way the validation is client side and the form will process and then you forward to a thank you for contacting us page.
