Form Itself :
<form action="site.com/formhandler.php" method="POST">
<div class="row">
<fieldset id="contactform" class="wow bounce" data-wow-duration="2s" data-wow-delay="0.5s">
<div id="form_result"></div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 col-md-offset-3">
<input name="email" type="text" id="email" class="form-control" value="" placeholder="Your email">
</div>
<div class="col-md-3">
<input name="phone" type="text" id="phone" class="form-control" value="" placeholder="Your Number">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="5" id="comments" class="form-control" placeholder="Your Message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12 text-center">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default btn-lg" id="submit">SUBMIT</button>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
PHP Code which i tried to connect with the Form :
<?php
class db {
public function base() {
$a = mysql_connect('', '', '');
$b = mysql_select_db('Form', $a);
}
}
class form {
public function postt() {
if ($_POST) {
mysql_query('INSERT INTO Form SET name="' . $_POST['name'] . '",email="' . $_POST['email'] . '",phone=' . $_POST['phone'] . ',message="' . $_POST['message'] . '"');
}
}
}
$q1 = new db;
$q1->base();
$q2 = new form;
$q2->postt();
?>

I'm not sure if it's main suspect, but action="site.com/formhandler.php" is the problem. action attribute needs path in one of two ways. With domain or without. With domain needs to start with http://. If there is no domain then it will append to the current url.
Examples (for let's say current url is http://example.com/users/):
action value what browser see
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
foo http://example.com/users/foo
foo.php http://example.com/users/foo.php
/foo.php http://example.com/foo.php
site.com/formhandler.php http://example.com/users/site.com/formhandler.php
Maybe it will show you some of mistakes :)
In my opinion you wanted one of these:
<form action="http://example.com/formhandler.php" method="POST">
<form action="/formhandler.php" method="POST"> -- script is in main webroot
<form action="formhandler.php" method="POST"> -- script is only in the same dir as current page

Please correct link to action (add http):
<form action="http://example.com/formhandler.php" method="POST">
Also you need to adjust php-code to avoid problems with security and database connection.

Input Id Name showing to URL?

I have a problem, I am trying to make some forms in bootstrap however it messed up.
Once I converted the forms to bootstrap related they are no longer doing the job they're supposed to do.
What I am trying to do is to save form logs to a txt file, but they won't save.
When I add name="test" it won't work, instead it writes in the url.
URL: localhost/save.php?John
save.php
<?php
$myfile = fopen("test.txt", "a+");
$txt = "Name : ".$_POST['test451']." -> Surname: ".$_POST['loki'];
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);
?>
index
<form action="/save.php" class="needs-validation" novalidate>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6 mb-3">
<label for="firstName">First name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="firstName" name="loki" placeholder="" value="" required>
<div class="invalid-feedback">
Valid first name is required.
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 mb-3">
<label for="lastName">Last name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="lastName" name="test451" placeholder="" value="" required>
<div class="invalid-feedback">
Valid last name is required.
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Seeing the comment you left with this code: (edit: you added that in the question just now in an edit)
<form action="/save.php" class="needs-validation" novalidate>
Forms default to a GET method if there is no POST implied. So you're getting the ?John back because of it.
Add method="post" in your form.

Make File Upload Field Optional on Contact Form

I have a basic HTML/PHP web form. Everything works fine when I fill out all fields, except I want to make the file upload optional, not required. I have taken "required" off of the form html for the upload. I checked my handler.php and it does not say that field is required. I checked the formhandler.php and it says that attachments are null. I have looked through similar questions, but any of the more complex solutions I am probably implementing incorrectly. I've expended my knowledge of php looking for a solution. What am I missing?
Here is the html of the form:
<div class="row pb6">
<div class="col-md-6 offset-md-3">
<form role="form" method="post" id="reused_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name"> Name:</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" required maxlength="50">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email"> Email:</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" required maxlength="50">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="tel"> Phone: </label>
<input type="tel" class="form-control" id="tel" name="tel" maxlength="50">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name"> Message:</label>
<textarea class="form-control" type="textarea" name="message" id="message" placeholder="We want to hear all about your performance! Also, please include the date you need the music." maxlength="6000" rows="7"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="file">File Upload (optional)</label>
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="image" name="image">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-lg btn-success pull-right" id="btnContactUs">Post It! →</button>
</form>
<div id="success_message" style="width:100%; height:100%; display:none; "> <h3>Sent your message successfully!</h3> </div>
<div id="error_message" style="width:100%; height:100%; display:none; "><h3>Error</h3>We are very sorry. There was an error sending your form. Email us and we will send you a free demo.</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here is the handler.php:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/*
Tested working with PHP5.4 and above (including PHP 7 )
*/
require_once './vendor/autoload.php';
use FormGuide\Handlx\FormHandler;
$pp = new FormHandler();
$validator = $pp->getValidator();
$validator->fields(['name','email','tel'])->areRequired()->maxLength(50);
$validator->field('email')->isEmail();
$validator->field('message')->maxLength(6000);
if($_FILES['image']){ $pp->attachFiles(['image']); }
$pp->sendEmailTo('email'); //
echo $pp->process($_POST);
after code edit:
1)Chrome and Firefox will send form, Safari will not.
2)All browsers show a perpetual "Sending" message, and do not show a success or failure message for the form.
3) Forms send WITH attachments will not send the form with attachment to email, only the form alone.
You are trying to attach the image whether it exists or not with $pp->attachFiles(['image']);. You should first check if it does indeed exists and only attach it if it does like so:
if($_FILES['image']){
$pp->attachFiles(['image']);
}

Form posting does not work

I am having trouble to post a html form. I am posting one form and getting the post value to my variable and then I am post this form but this form is not posting.
HTML code:
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="POST" autocomplete="off">
<div class="widget-box">
<div class="widget-title"> <span class="icon"> <i class="icon-user"></i> </span>
<h5>Amc details</h5>
</div>
<div class="widget-content">
<div class="controls controls-row">
<div class="control-group span3">
<label for="normal" class="control-label">Installation Date<span style="color:red">*</span></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="amc-ins-date" data-date="01-02-2016" name="amc-ins-date" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy" class="datepicker span12" placeholder="Enter installation date">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group span3">
<label for="normal" class="control-label">Start Date<span style="color:red">*</span></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="amc-start-date" data-date="01-02-2016" name="amc-start-date" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy" placeholder="Enter amc start date" class="datepicker span12 ins-date">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group span3">
<label class="control-label">End Date<span style="color:red">*</span></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="amc-end-date" data-date="01-02-2016" name="amc-end-date" data-date-format="dd-mm-yyyy" placeholder="Enter amc end date" class="datepicker span12 ins-date">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group span3">
<label class="control-label">Amount<span style="color:red">*</span></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="amc-amount" name="amc-amount" class="span12" placeholder="Enter amc amount">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-actions">
<input style="float:right" type="submit" name="amc-installation" class="btn btn-success" value="Save">
</div>
</form>
PHP code:
// i have submitted a form here and its posted
// installation details
$mc_serial = $_POST['mc-serial'];
$mc_model = $_POST['mc-model'];
$contract_type = $_POST['contract_type'];
$no_of_copies = $_POST['no-of-copies'];
$spare_part = join(",",$_POST['spare-part']);
$eng_name = $_POST['eng-name'];
$review = $_POST['review'];
// check if the machine already exits
if(IsMachine($mc_serial,$con)){
echo msgIsMachine();
exit();
}
if($contract_type == 'AMC'){
require './forms/amc.php'; // this is the html i have shown above
} elseif ($contract_type == 'ASC') {
require './forms/asc.php';
} elseif ($contract_type == '4C') {
require './forms/4c.php';
} elseif ($contract_type == 'RENTAL') {
require './forms/rental.php';
} elseif ($contract_type == 'WARRANTY') {
require './forms/warranty.php';
}
if(isset($_POST['amc-installation']) && !empty($_POST['amc-installation'])){
echo "posted";
var_dump($_POST);($_POST);
}
The output of var_dump is NULL. I don't get any problem.
You echo the second form (during the script which responds to the submission of the first one), but then immediately check for values returned from it within the same script execution. You have to wait for the user to post the form back before you can check the submitted values. This would be a separate postback, and therefore a separate execution context for the PHP.
So the code to check the values from the second form needs to be in a separate section (or file) which is triggered by the submission of the second form.
There's no $POST in PHP you should use $_POST instead :
if(isset($_POST['amc-installation']) && !empty($_POST['amc-installation'])){
echo "posted";
var_dump($_POST);
}
NOTE : You should place the var_dump($_POST); inside the if statement, so it will be trrigered just after the submit.
Hope this helps.
if(isset($_POST['amc-installation']) && !empty($_POST['amc-installation'])){
echo "posted";
var_dump($_POST);
}
You should use $_POST not $POST.
Hope this will helps you :)

Update SESSION variable

I have the following code in index.php:
<div class="done">
<b>Thank you<?php
echo $_SESSION['session_vname']." ";
echo $_SESSION['session_lname']."! </b><br><br>Email: ";
echo $_SESSION['session_email']."<br> Status: ";
echo $_SESSION['session_status']."<br>";
?>
</div>
and
<div class="form">
<form method="post" action="process.php">
<div class="element">
<label>First Name</label>
<input type="text" name="vname" class="text" />
</div>
<div class="element">
<label>Last Name</label>
<input type="text" name="lname" class="text" />
</div>
<div class="element">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" class="text" />
</div>
<div class="element">
<label>Status</label>
<input type="text" name="status" class="text" />
</div>
<div class="element">
<input type="submit" id="submit"/>
<div class="loading"></div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
I execute the form with an ajax submit so the index.php gets no refresh. When finished
gets a fadeOut and a fadeIn.
This works fine except for the following part:
When div class="form" is shown, it shows the session variable from the form before the last submit.
Example:
first input: session_vname = testa
first output $_SESSION['session_vname'] = nothing
second input: session_vname = overflow
second output $_SESSION['session_vname'] = testa
So finally the question:
How can I force the to update the session variables after form submitting also index.php is not reloaded?
PHP code is executed on server side, before the page is shown to the viewer. That means you need to update static elements with JavaScript if you don't want to refresh the whole page.
You cant update server side php sessions using javascript, you should be using cookies for that type of functionality

Using "action" in Twitter Boostrap classes

I'm a newbie programmer trying to utilize Twitter Bootstrap to build out a concept. I'm using PHP and assigning actions within HTML tags to POST data and essentially take a user through the navigation. This has been pretty straightforward when using forms: i.e. here is a snippet that does work. For example, for this snippet of HTML:
<form action="?viewnotes" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="<?php htmlout($note['id']); ?>">
</form>
It successfully triggers the following if statement in my index.php:
if (isset($_GET['viewnotes']))
However, I'm trying to do the same thing in my registration page, using a Twitter Bootstrap class for buttons. Here is the HTML:
<a class="btn btn-primary btn-large" action="?register">Sign Up Free!»</a></p>
The PHP code is:
if (isset($_GET['register']))
{
include 'register.html.php';
}
Clicking on the Sign Up button is not invoking the PHP code. If I hard code the URL it works, but then I have a similar issue on the register.html.php page. HTML on the register page has:
<form class="form-horizontal" action="?storeuser" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>It's quick and easy...</legend>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">First Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" name="fname" class="input-xlarge" id="fname">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" name="lname">Last Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" name="lname" class="input-xlarge" id="lname">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" name="email">Email Address</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" name="email" class="input-xlarge" id="email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" name="password">Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="password" name="password" class="input-xlarge" id="password">
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
<button type="submit" name="action" class="btn btn-primary btn-large">Complete Registration</button>
</form>
However, when clicking on the button, the index file does not trigger the following, which would store the fields into the DB.
if (isset($_GET['storeuser']))
If I hardcode the URL to register.html.php, then the resulting URL looks like localhost/register.html.php?storeuser instead of localhost/?storeuser. I'm not sure if that's affecting the behavior here.
Thank you for the help!
I think you're approaching this the wrong way, and it's not Twitter Bootstrap's fault.
Usually, you'd use POST, not GET, to handle user registrations. Your form would look like this:
<form action="register.php" method="post">
<!-- your form -->
<fieldset>
<input type="submit" name="register" value="Register" class="btn btn-primary" />
</fieldset>
</form>
You can then build register.php as follows:
<?php
if (isset($_POST['register'])) {
// handle user registration
}
// display form
?>
This will display the form when the user visits register.php, but will try and process the user registration first if the form's been POSTed.
try passing a value with your GET variable
<form action="?viewnotes=1" method="post">
