displaying the html entities in php code - php

How to display the input type elements in the php code in the same page
I am trying this code but it is not working
HTML
<html>
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywordsid" value="sample keyword" />
</html>
PHP code
<?php
echo $kewords;
?>
To display html input type fields in the php code what should we do?

index.php file
<html>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywordsid" value="sample keyword" />
<input typ="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['keywords']))
{
$keywords = $_POST['keywords'];
echo $keywords;
}
?>

Use PHP pre defined $_SERVER variable :
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
<html>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywordsid" value="sample keyword" />
<input type="submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isset( $_POST['keywords']))
{
echo $_POST['keywords'];
}
?>
</body>
</html>
Here, <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?> helps you to get result on the same page without sending the request to another page.

First of all without form you dont get input type field name in php.
so, use form and after submmit form you are using $_POST['keywords'] instead of $kewords to echo input field name.

let, your page url is index.php
<html>
<body>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywordsid" value="sample keyword" />
<input type="submit">
</form>
<?php
if(isset( $_POST['keywords']))
echo $_POST['keywords'];
?>
</body>
</html>

Try something like this
<html>
<form action ="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywordsid" value="sample keyword" />
<input type="submit">
</html>
and write php code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['keywords']))
{
echo $_POST['keywords'];
}
?>
This is the way to write php and html

You can use the code bellow to echo the keywords.
<?php
echo '<input type="text" name="keywords" id="keywordsid" value="'.$keywords.'" />';
?>

Input from form to url?

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"];?>

Display text after submit button is clicked. PHP

I am trying to catch some text from the textbox, to save it in a variable and then post it on my browser if I click the submit button. My code is this:
<?php
$var1=$_POST['text1'];
$var2=$_POST['display'];
if(isset($var2)){
var_dump( $var1);
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<input type="text" value="gdf" name="text1" id="text1" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" id="display" name="display"><br /><br />
</body>
</html>
I don't know what is wrong. The code on rextester
For starters you need to implement a form on you HTML page and set the action to a new .php page.
<form action='display.php' method='post'>
*your input fields go here*
Now create a new php page (in this case display.php)
Declare the variables as you did....
$var1=$_POST['text1'];
$var2=$_POST['display'];
if(isset($var2)){
var_dump( $var1);
then you can simply echo each variable accordingly...
Final Result
HTML PAGE:
<form action='result.php' method='post'>
<input type="text" value="gdf" name="text1" id="text1" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" id="display" name="display"><br /><br />
</form>
result.php
<?php
$var1 = $_POST['text1']; // create variables of your form elements
$var2 = $_POST['display'];
echo '$var1 . ' ' . $display . '.';
?>
Basically the php page is saying get text1 and display from the form (names) and create variables of them...
Then echo (print) these variables on the screen. (in plain english xD)
p.s
Your rextester isn't working because you haven't specified a form.
You need to setup the FORM tags so they have the correct attributes for POST. Try:
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST">
<input type="text" value="gdf" name="text1" id="text1" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" id="display" name="display"><br /><br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
You need to use a form, otherwise you aren't posting anything.
Something like:
form.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="yourphpfile.php">
<input type="text" value="gdf" name="text1" id="text1" /><br /><br />
<input type="text" value="display" name="display" id="display" /><br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="submit"><br /><br />
</form>
</body>
</html>
yourphpfile.php
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['text1']) and !empty($_POST['display'])){
$var1=$_POST['text1'];
$var2=$_POST['display'];
echo "$var1 $var2";
}
?>

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

How do you get user inpup and display it in php

I am trying to get user input from a text box and then echo it using php. Here is my code, and it is not seeming to work.
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo $_POST['value'];
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="value">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<html>
<body>
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['value']))
{
echo filter_var($_POST['value'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<input type="text" name="value">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
First check if form posted.

Printing text box value on page in PHP

I am new to PHP (in-fact I am learning it). I am trying to get the value of textbox defined in HTML and print it on HTML page through PHP code. I am able to send the value of textbox to another page using form post and getting it using $_POST['name'] on other page.
I am not able to print the value of textbox on same page.
Here is my code:
<html>
<head>
<?php
function myfunction()
{
printf($_POST['fname']);
}
?>
</head>
<body>
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
<input type="button" onClick="myfunction()" value="Click" />
</body>
</html>
First of all it's not required to write php function within <head> tags. Second,
you can't POST data without <form> tags. try this
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']) && $_POST['submit']=='Submit'){
$name=$_POST['fname'];
echo $name;
}
else {
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="<?=$_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]?>">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php } ?>
you can not call PHP function by button's click event...
if you want to print on same page then you can do by below code..
<html>
<?php
if(count($_POST)>0){
echo $_POST['fname'];
}
?>
<body>
<form method='post'>
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
<input type="submit" value="Click" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
hope you will get what you want by my answer..
