I'm new to PHP. I have this html file with php in it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Php torturail 1</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>php ahead:</p>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
printf('User Name: %s', $_POST['name']);
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<p>name:</p>
<input type="text" name="name">
<p>pass:</p>
<input type="password" name="pwd">
<p>massage:</p>
<textarea name="area"></textarea>
<p>accept:</p>
<input type="checkbox" name="chb" value="on">
<p>lucky number:</p>
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="option1">1
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="option2">2
<p>button:</p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
When I open it on on a browser and click submit, the form's fileds are empty again but nothing is printed.
What is the problem?
Thank you.
2 things:
1-you must save your file as .php file.
2-fill action in your form tag
<form method="post" action="where.php">

If I have two inputs like the following
<input type="text" name="id">
<input type="text" name="name">
Then it is possible to get values in array on backend like this
array("id"=>"name")
If it is possible then how it can be done?
Hope you are doing well and good.
Umm, I just got your query. You want to make id as a key and name as a value in array. So here, May be i found your solution.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="id[]">
<input type="text" name="name[]">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$combineArr = array_combine($_POST['id'], $_POST['name']);
print_r($combineArr);
}
?>
From the above code you can get answer like below,
Array ( [id] => name )
You can send your post via POST method.
<form name="form" action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="id">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="submit" name="submit_button"
value="Send"/>
</form>
After that :
<?php
$array = [$_POST['id'] => $_POST['name']];
So the goal is to take the input from a form append it to the end of the URL and then return the HTML from that page.
I am not entirely sure how to take the forms value (in this case $2) and attach it to the URL.
<html>
<head>
<title>Metar Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<p>IACO Code: <input type="text" name="$2" value=""></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php $html=file_get_contents("http://www.metar.mysite.net/metar?id=$2")?>
<?php echo $_POST ["$html"];?>
</body>
</html>
On submit any input from a form with method="POST" will be stored in the $_POST global. You can access it from there and append it to your URL string.
<html>
<head>
<title>Metar Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<p>IACO Code: <input type="text" name="iacoCode" value=""></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["iacoCode"])) {
$html = file_get_contents("http://www.metar.mysite.net/metar?id=" . $_POST["iacoCode"]);
echo $html;
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Using the IF statement to check if it is set will prevent it from loading the URL with no variable.
The way we extract data via php from a form is like below
<html>
<head>
<title>Metar Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="" method="POST">
<p>IACO Code: <input type="text" name="$2" value=""></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
<?php $html=file_get_contents("http://www.metar.mysite.net/metar?id=$_POST['$2']")?>
<?php echo $_POST ["$html"];?>
Was trying to follow a tuitorial online on how to submit data using html to mysql database.
I created 2 php files named index.php and process.php. What i wanted to show was what I typed in inside index.php will show on process.php when I clicked on the button "add employee". But nothing showed up.
Here is what's inside index.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
label{display:inline-block;width:100px;margin-bottom:10px;}
</style>
<title>Add Employee</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="">
<label>First Name</label>
<input type="text" name="first_name" />
<br />
<label>Last Name</label>
<input type="text" name="last_name" />
<br />
<label>Department</label>
<input type="text" name="department" />
<br />
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" />
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Add Employee">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here is a Screenshot of the form.
click here for index.php image
Wile here is what's inside the process.php
<?php
print_r($_POST);
This is what shows up
process.php image
Sorry a beginner at this. Hope you guys can help. Thank you!
Maybe you are missing the "action"?
<form method="post" action="/process.php">
You should specify what you need.Somethings like this:
<?php
print_r($_POST['first_name']);
Or use foreach loop to get full array value.
You can go through with fill up action tag so when you submit the form it will go to proccess.php page.
<form method="post" action="process.php">
index.php
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function submitForms()
{
document.forms["form-1"].submit();
document.forms["form-2"].submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="form.php" id='form-1'>
<input type="text" name="txt1" />
</form>
<form method="POST" action="form.php" id='form-2'>
<input type="text" name="txt2" />
</form>
<input type="button" value="Click Me!" onclick="submitForms();" />
</body>
</html>
form.php
<?php
echo $_POST['txt1'];
echo $_POST['txt2'];
?>
Above is my code and when i submit both forms then both text-fields with their value it does not shoe me both text-field values.It only shoe me second text-field value.Please help me quickly.
I think because you try to get the params after sumbit two forms. You have sent the two forms at once and the second has stepped to the first, so the result is the return of the second form.
I think this will be better:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="form.php">
<input type="text" name="txt1" />
<input type="text" name="txt2" />
<input type="submit" value="Click Me!" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
echo $_POST['txt1'];
echo $_POST['txt2'];
?>
Sorry for my english
I've looked all over the net for probably a common and simple task and have found nothing but deadends. I'm trying to grab a response from my own html page that uses POST to submit data to a website so I can parse it and show/print the parsed text on the same html page.
Here's what my html page looks like:
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<form
method="post"
action="http://somesite.com"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="function" value="login">
<input type="text" name="username" value="client">
<input type="text" name="password" value="qwerty">
<input type="file" name="upload">
<input type="text" name="upload_to" value="0">
<input type="text" name="upload_type" value="0">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
</head><body></body></html>
Just do <?php echo $_POST['username']; ?>
use the Predefined Variable $_POST
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<form
method="post"
action=""
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="function" value="login">
<input type="text" name="username" value="client">
<input type="text" name="password" value="qwerty">
<input type="file" name="upload">
<input type="text" name="upload_to" value="0">
<input type="text" name="upload_type" value="0">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</form>
<?php if("Send" == $_POST['submit']){ var_dump($_POST); } ?>
</head><body></body></html>
Would recommend that you read on http://www.php.net/form as it contains both examples and good comments. As your calling the fields username and password I guess you might also be looking at database connections, be very careful of SQL injections (http://php.net/manual/en/security.database.sql-injection.php).
