How to set field value as the result of a calculation - php

I have a form that has a field whose value is from a php calculation. The Calculation is just basic arithmetic involving purely whole numbers. But there is a scenario where the value will be zero. So the form assumes that that filed has been left empty.
How can i go round that ?
Here is a sample of code.
if (
isset($_POST['input1']) &&
isset($_POST['input2']) &&
isset($_POST['ans'])
)
{
// CHECKING IF ANY OF THE FIELDS WERE LEFT EMPTY
$input1 = $_POST['input1'];
$input2 = $_POST['input2'];
$ans = ($input1)-($input2);
$ans_set = 0;
if ($ans === $ans_set ) {
# code...
//echo "Same";
$ans = '0';
} else {
# code...
//echo "Different";
echo "Check data types";
}
if (
!empty($input1) &&
!empty($input2) &&
!empty($ans)
)
{
$query = "INSERT INTO formaths VALUES ( 'NUll', NOW(),
'".mysql_real_escape_string($input1)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($input2)."',
'".mysql_real_escape_string($ans)."' )";
$query_run = mysql_query($query);
if ( $query_run )
{
//header("Location:". __DIR__."../registration_success.php");
echo "<p class='echo'>Data entry was successful.</p>";
}
else
{
echo "<p class='echo'>It seems that we couldn't save that at this time.</p>";
}
}
else
{
echo "<p class='echo'>Please make sure all fields are filled and are correct.<br/>You must fill in the area field last!</p>";
}
}
?>

Why is htmlentities not working in my Autosdb code?

All I am trying to do is escape html injection into my input text boxes. Am I not using htmlentities correctly?
Code:

PHP Insert into MySQL Database doesn't work

I'm trying to input data into MySQL Database. I can log into database. However, whenever I run, the error "Error Querying Database 2" keeps appearing.
I'm suspecting my SQL Query having problems. However, I have checked my SQL query several times but I can't find any errors. (not yet)
Any help is appreciated!

I'm not sure what are the column name available in your table, but try with the following query,
I got the column name form your code, I'm not sure it's right or wrong. just try it.
$sql1="INSERT INTO Events (EventName,MembersAttending,EventDate,Location)

PHP session array and input validation

Currently I am sending error messages and storing the value of my input fields in sessions.
Form example
<label class="errormsg"><?php echo $_SESSION['msgProductPrice']; unset($_SESSION['msgProductPrice']); ?></label>
<input type="text" name="product_price" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['val_ProductPrice']; unset($_SESSION['val_ProductPrice']); ?>" />
PHP
$Price = $_POST['product_price'];
$errorcount = 0;
if(empty($Price) === true){
$PriceErrormsg = "empty";
$errorcount++;
}
if($errorcount === 0) {
// success
} else {
$_SESSION['val_ProductPrice'] = $Price;
$_SESSION['msgProductPrice'] = $PriceErrormsg;
}
This works perfectly with one of a kind input field. If I try with multiple input fields with the same name, it doesn't work.
Form example
<label class="errormsg"><?php echo $_SESSION['msgProductAmount']; unset($_SESSION['msgProductAmount']); ?></label>
<input type="text" name="product_amount[]" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['val_ProductAmount']; unset($_SESSION['val_ProductAmount']); ?>" />
<label class="errormsg"><?php echo $_SESSION['msgProductAmount']; unset($_SESSION['msgProductAmount']); ?></label>
<input type="text" name="product_amount[]" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['val_ProductAmount']; unset($_SESSION['val_ProductAmount']); ?>" />
This is where I'm unsure on how to validate all the input fields, how to keep the value in each input field when you hit submit and how to send an errormsg about each field?
PHP
$Amount= $_POST['product_amount'];
$errorcount = 0;
if(empty($Amount) === true){
$AmountErrormsg = "empty";
$errorcount++;
}
if($errorcount === 0) {
// success
} else {
$_SESSION['val_ProductAmount'] = $Amount;
$_SESSION['msgProductAmount'] = $AmountErrormsg;
}
If I understand your problem, multiple product amounts are being submitted, and you want to validate each one individually and display the error message next to the appropriate textbox?
Because you are receiving an array of values, you need to create a corresponding array of error messages.
It's a while since I've done any PHP, so this might not be 100% correct, but I think you need something along these lines...
$AmountErrorMessage = Array();
foreach ($Amount as $key => $value) {
if (empty($value)) {
$AmountErrorMessage[$key] = 'empty';
}
}
if ($AmountErrorMessage->count() > 0) {
// success
} else {
$_SESSION['val_ProductAmount'] = $Amount;
$_SESSION['msgProductAmount'] = $AmountErrorMessage;
}
You would then also need to iterate through the array in order to generate the HTML for your form, creating a label and input box for each value submitted.
This code help you to do it as per your wish..
<?php
session_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<style>
.errormsg{
color:red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['product_amount']))
{
$errorcount = 0;
for($i=0;$i<count($_POST['product_amount']);$i++){
$Amount[$i] = $_POST['product_amount'][$i];
if(empty($Amount[$i]) === true){
$_SESSION['msgProductAmount'][$i] = "empty";
$errorcount++;
}
else
$_SESSION['val_ProductAmount'][$i] = $Amount[$i];
}
if($errorcount === 0) {
unset($_SESSION['msgProductAmount']);
echo "success";
}
}
?>
<form action="" method="POST">
<?php
$cnt = 10;
for($i=0;$i<$cnt;$i++){
?>
<input type="text" name="product_amount[<?=$i?>]" value="<?php echo isset($_SESSION['val_ProductAmount'][$i]) ? $_SESSION['val_ProductAmount'][$i] : '';?>" />
<label class="errormsg"><?php echo $res = isset($_SESSION['msgProductAmount'][$i]) ? $_SESSION['msgProductAmount'][$i] : '' ; ?></label>
<br/>
<?php
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
unset($_SESSION['msgProductAmount'],$_SESSION['val_ProductAmount']);
?>

PHP - Can not access the checkbox value that has been checked

For my databases project I am doing this form where a user can select the information he wants and it will be displayed on a html page. For the time being I am implementing only the checkboxes where I am encountering a problem.
The problem is that when I check the checkboxes (for my current implementation I am only interested in the case where the user checks "Location"+ "Pipe-Type" + "Amount") in my action page "fe_page2.php", the if condition that checks to see if the checkboxes are checked is never being reached instead it always goes to the else condition. The code is provided below.
This is my basic html page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Flow Element</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="margin-left: 450px">Retrieve Flow Element Information</h1>
<hr>

This is the php page fe_page2.php
<?php
require('dbconf.inc');
db_connect();
print"<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
print"</pre>";
$pipelocation = $_POST[pipelocation];
$pipetype = $_POST[Pipe-Type];
$pipeamount = $_POST[amount];
if($pipelocation=='value1' && $pipetype == 'value2' && $pipeamount == 'value3'){
$qrySel="SELECT `Pipe_ID`, `Location`, `Amount`, `PipeType` FROM pipe order by Pipe_ID desc";
$resSel = mysql_query($qrySel);
if($resSel){
while($rowpipe = mysql_fetch_array($resSel, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
echo "Pipe ID:{$rowpipe['Pipe_ID']} <br> ".
"Location: {$rowpipe['Location']} <br> ".
"Amount: {$rowpipe['Amount']} <br>".

"--------------------------------<br>";
}
echo "Fetched Data Successfully!\n";
}
}
else{
echo"never went in!";
}
db_close();
?>
I have tried different things such as
if(isset($pipelocation) && isset($pipetype) && isset($pipeamount)){
.....
}
and removing the value from html page and using the following piece of code:
if($pipelocation == 'on' && $pipetype == 'on' && $pipeamount == 'on'){
...
}
But still no luck...
Any help would be appreciated.
The code that is presented is purely my work but does include pieces of code that comes from the provided reference below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZtXYa9eGGw
You missed the quotations here:
$pipelocation = $_POST['pipelocation'];
$pipetype = $_POST['Pipe-Type'];
$pipeamount = $_POST['amount'];

variables not posting php form

So I'm working on this password reset form. Where a user clicks on a link sent to their email and they are taken to a webpage to enter a new password. When they submit the form 3 variables (password, key, & email) are passed to my functions file to update the password for the user. The password itself is being posted, but the email and key are not. I did a vardump to see what is actually being sent and its just displaying the code in the values of email/key on the form. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
EDIT
So I figured out that the email/key were not being passed to the updateUserPassword() function. I posted the new correct form code below. SOLVED
<?php session_start();
include("include/DB_Connect.php");
include("include/DB_Functions.php"); // Connect to database server(localhost) with username and password.
mysql_select_db("android_api") or die(mysql_error()); // Select registration database.
$show = 'emailForm'; //which form step to show by default
if (isset($_POST['subStep']) && !isset($_GET['a']))
{
switch($_POST['subStep'])
{
case 1:
//we are submitting a new password (only for encrypted)
if ($_POST['email'] == '' || $_POST['key'] == '') header("location: forgotpw.php");
if (strcmp($_POST['password'],$_POST['pw1']) != 0 || trim($_POST['password']) == '')
{
$error = true;
$show = 'recoverForm';
} else {
$error = false;
$show = 'recoverSuccess';
updateUserPassword($_POST['email'],$_POST['password'],$_POST['key']);
var_dump($_POST['email'],$_POST['password'],$_POST['key']);
}
break;
}
} elseif (isset($_GET['a']) && $_GET['a'] == 'recover' && $_GET['email'] != "") {
$show = 'invalidKey';
$result = checkEmailKey(urldecode(base64_decode($_GET['email'])),$_GET['key']);
if ($result == false)
{
$error = true;
$show = 'invalidKey';
} elseif ($result['status'] == true) {
$error = false;
$show = 'recoverForm';
$securityUser = $result['email'];
