I try to write HTML to file, everything is working fine but im not able to insert string based on user input into it - can you please tell me what am i doing wrong here ?
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$file = 'content.html';
$title = $_POST ['title'];
$content = '<li class="level-2"> <a class="level-2a" href="#">';
$content .= echo $title;
$content .= '
Lorem</a>
<div class="contentlevel2">
<span class="contentlilevel-2">
<!--ONEPAGECMS-START-';
$content .= echo $title;
$content .='
-->
Lorem Ipsum Doran....
<!--ONEPAGECMS-END-->
</span>
</div>
</li>';
file_put_contents($file, $content, FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
}
?>
<div class="container">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<h1 class="text-center">Create new project</h1>
<form action="project.php" method="post">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="title">Project title</label>
<input type="text" name="title" class="form-control">
</div>
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" name="submit" value="Create project">
</form>
</div>
$content .= echo $title;
should just be
$content .= $title;
your creating a string, echo outputs to 'screen'
also: $title = $_POST ['title']; no space between T and [ (it will work it's just a little odd)

So I have a simple image uploading website I'm creating for a little project. It's all working just great, except for the file path column in the database.
For some reason it will sometimes include the variables i'm telling it to, and sometimes not.
$user = $_SESSION['user'];
//file properties
$fileName = $_FILES["uploadedImage"]["name"];
$fileType = $_FILES["uploadedImage"]["type"];
$fileSize = $_FILES["uploadedImage"]["size"];
$fileTempName = $_FILES["uploadedImage"]["tmp_name"];
$error = $_FILES["uploadedImage"]["error"];
$random = substr(md5(microtime()),rand(0,26),16); //create random characters to avoid name duplication.
$path = "uploads/" . $_SESSION['userName'] . $random . $fileName;
The path always contains "uploads/" but only sometimes would contain the session user name, random, and only rarely the filename, even on the same files. I'm echoing out these variables before I submit the form, and they are all correct before submitting the form and uploading to the database. All other columns are correctly filled when I submit the form.
if ( isset( $_POST['formSubmit'] )) {
//prevent SQL injections and invalid inputs
$title = trim($_POST['title']);
$title = strip_tags($title);
$title = htmlspecialchars($title);
$title = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $title);
$description = trim($_POST['description']);
$description = strip_tags($description);
$description = htmlspecialchars($description);
$description = mysqli_real_escape_string($db, $description);
if (empty($title) || strlen($title) < 1) {
$titleError = "Title required.";
$formError = true;
}
if ($formError) {
$errorMessage = "Please fill out the upload form properly.";
} else {
$query = mysqli_query($db, "INSERT INTO IMAGE(imageID,userID,title,description,path)
VALUES('','$user','$title','$description','$path')");
Here's the form itself:
<form method="POST" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<span class="errorText"><?php echo $errorMessage; ?></span>
<br><br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class='col-sm-1'><!--spacer--></div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<label for="title">Title:</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" id="title" name="title" placeholder="Enter your image title here..." >
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><span class="errorText"><?php echo $titleError; ?></span></div>
<div class='col-sm-1'><!--spacer--></div>
</div>
<br>
<div class="row">
<div class='col-sm-1'><!--spacer--></div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<label for="description">Description:</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input type="text" id="description" name="description" placeholder="Describe your image here...">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><span class="errorText"><?php echo $descriptionError; ?></span></div>
<div class='col-sm-1'><!--spacer--></div>
</div>
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name = "formSubmit" id="formSubmit" class="btn">
<br>
<br>
</form>
The form is missing enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute.
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Also, even if this is unrelated to the question, I strongly recommend you to use MySQLi prepared statement. It help you avoid SQL injection without the need to manually escaping parameters.

with this example I recap my problem:
The first time I execute this php page I want to echo "I have two buttons".When the user click buttons "next" or "next1" I want to echo "I already said I have two buttons" and not "I have to buttons" again.I proved also with hidden input text but it doesn't work. thk for help
<?php
if ($_SESSION['already_said'] == false ){
echo "I have two buttons". date('h:i:s')."<br>";
}
$_SESSION['already_said']=true;
if( isset($_GET["next"]) || isset($_GET["next1"])) {
echo "I already said I have two buttons". date('h:i:s')."<br>";
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form name="form" method="GET" action="" >
<button type="submit" name="next">
<span class="label">Next</span>
</button>
<button type="submit" name="next1">
<span class="label">Next1</span>
</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Of course the important thing is to remember to put the session_start() at the top of any script that uses the session. In fact it is a good idea to put it in all your scripts even if a few dont use the session just to keep the session alive.
<?php
session_start();
$msg = "I have two buttons ". date('h:i:s')."<br>";
if (! isset($_SESSION['already_said']) ){
$_SESSION['already_said'] = true;
}
if( (isset($_GET["next"]) || isset($_GET["next1"]) ) && isset($_SESSION['already_said'])) {
$msg = "I already said " . $msg;
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<div> <?php echo $msg; ?></div>
<form name="form" method="GET" action="" >
<button type="submit" name="next">
<span class="label">Next</span>
</button>
<button type="submit" name="next1">
<span class="label">Next1</span>
</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>

I created a HTML form which should submit the inputted text into a .txt file with PHP, but it only creates a blank line and I don't know what the issue is.
Help is greatly appreciated!
<form class="form-inline validate" name="form1" method="post" action="signup.php" target="_blank" novalidate>
<div class="row no-gutter">
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input type="email" value="" name="mail" class="form-control" placeholder="Subscribe to our newsletter" required>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-3">
<input type="submit" value="SUBSCRIBE" name="Submit">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<?php
$username = $_POST['user'];
//the data
$data = "$email\n";
//open the file and choose the mode
$fh = fopen("users.txt", "a");
fwrite($fh, $data);
//close the file
fclose($fh);
print "User Submitted";
?>
If you want to get mail change your php code to
<?php
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
$email = $_POST['mail'];
//the data
$data = "$email\n";
//open the file and choose the mode
$fh = fopen("users.txt", "a+");
fwrite($fh, $data);
//close the file
fclose($fh);
print "User Submitted";
}
?>

I have an HTML Form and I am trying to get the values from the form in my php file.
<div id="qForm">
<form action="postComment.php" method="post" name="comment">
Name: <input type="text" name="askerName"><br>
Title: <input type="text" name="qTitle"><br>
<textarea maxlength="255" name="theQ"></textarea>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</div>
My PHP file looks like this but It echos as Welcome
<?php
$name = $_POST["askerName"];
echo $name; //this works
$textArea = $_POST["theQ"];
echo $textArea; //this does not work
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
welcome <?php $_POST["askerName"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
Use
<body>
welcome <?php echo $_POST["askerName"]; ?>
</body>
instead.
you have to use print/echo to display your php output these two basic ways to get output: echo and print
<body>
welcome <?php print $_POST["askerName"]; ?>
</body>
else
<body>
welcome <?php echo $_POST["askerName"]; ?>
</body>
echo is marginally faster compared to print as echo does not return any value
NOTE: Here is the fiddle, and since that looks awful, Here is the full screen result
Here is the fiddle after I do my changes on my computer and generate the html, and here is the full screen
Note on the fiddle:
I added the entire code into the fiddle since it won't work unless it's the whole code.
Thanks to anyone who will give hints! My only problem here is the one in the title, nothing else. :)
=====
I'm working on an undergraduate project to create an interface that accesses a database (though I'm not a CS student). My code is behaving very strangely. I have code for one window that displays one large div encasing three divs side byside, which is structured this way:
<div id="container">
<div id="window1">
<form></form> //my buttons
</div>
<div id="window2">
<form></form> //my body
</div>
<div id="window3">
//I havent written anything here yet
</div>
</div>
But I realized it makes more sense for me to encase them all in just one form. Like this:
<div id="container">
<form>
<div id="tab1">
</div>
<div id="tab2">
</div>
<div id="tab3">
</div>
</form>
</div>
So in the first case, this is what my website looks like:
But after I change it:
What's weird is, if I put forms in my forms, it starts working again! So this works:
<div id="container">
<form>
<div id="tab1">
<form></form>
</div>
<div id="tab2">
<form></form>
</div>
<div id="tab3">
</div>
</form>
</div>
If you need to see my code, I actually am using PHP to generate the html since it's a lot, so (this is the method that doesn't work):
<div id="search_separator" class="upper_tab">
<form action="" method="post">
<div id="button_container">
<?php
$tbs_a = 1;
$tbs_name = 'table_selector';
$printRetain_button = '';
$fg = input::get($tbs_name);
echo '<label for="',$tbs_name,'"></label>';
foreach($table_arrays AS $ta => $table){
$tbs_val = "table".$tbs_a;
if($tbs_a==1){
echo '<div class="button"><input type="radio" class="tabl_selector" name="',$tbs_name,'" value="',$tbs_val,'" checked="default"/><div class="table_selector">',$ta,'</div></div>';
}else{
echo '<div class="button"><input type="radio" class="tabl_selector" name="',$tbs_name,'" value="',$tbs_val,'"';
if($tbs_val == $fg){
echo ' checked="checked"';
}//make a separate echo for table1 radio button with the default turned on.
echo '/><div class="table_selector">',$ta,'</div></div>';
}
$tbs_a++;
}
?>
<!--<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />-->

<div id="search_container" class="content">

$a = 1;
$search = DB::getInstance();

echo "<h2>",$t_a,'</h2><table align="center" id="actualhtmltable">';
foreach($table AS $t => $field){
$name = "table".$a."_field".$y;
$val_sticky = escape(input::get($name));

As far as I can tell, it is supposed to work! I don't see anything in my HTML, and as for my CSS, I have styled nothing about forms in there, only divs and labels and input tags. What could be wrong?
Thanks to anyone who'll give hints or ideas!
I found the solution, which really is just so simple. But, I don't know why it happened this way.
I added an id="search_form" into the form I need, then used CSS to say .search_form{ height: 100% } as apparently, when the form was made, it made the height of everything into just a few pixels. This is weird, but at least I found the answer.
