I am trying to code a basic website as starter test for me and am struggling. It sort of a blog
It has a form and a textarea, the user types in the textarea, and it passes the value to another php page. Where it gets printed as a test.
But it does not get printed. Some help to get me started would be useful. Thanks in advance
<form method="Post" action="testit.php" name = "myform">
<textarea name="blogtext" rows="15" cols="50">
</textarea>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit Blog"><p>
</form>
and the php file is
<html>
<body>
Welcome to you
<?php
$name = $_POST["blogtext"];
print $name
?>
</body>
</html

I've just started using PHP forms for my website prototype, and it wasn't working so I decided to try to make a basic form example. No fancy CSS, just pure data. This is the code.
Index.html
<html>
<body>
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
E-mail: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
welcome.php
<html>
<body>
Welcome <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>
<br />
Your email address is: <?php echo $_POST["email"]; ?>
</body>
</html>
The code works as far as displaying the 'Welcome ___ Your email address is: ____.
It just doesn't display the data entered in the form. For clarification as to whether my PHP works, I have tried just displaying some text and it worked fine. I use the PHP Editor phpDesigner8.
Thanks!
I really don't know why my code isn't working! Let me clear it by example..
I got a file named 'index.html' example...
<html>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="test">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
And of course the form action file test.php .. example..
<?php
$something = ($_POST["test"]);
// from here I have some PHP codes and this "something" variable will be process in this codes and will print out something spacial..
?>
Now example If I post "Hello, It's not working" then the output will show a spacial design.
But Instead process, it's just printing out whatever I submit in that form.
But when I manually add the variable to "something" and if I execute the "test.php" . Example..
$something = "Hello, It's not working";
Then it works perfectly..
And yes. Also tried GET method.. It's still same as POST.
This is my first question here..
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
First Convert, index.html to php and follow this code:-
<html>
<body>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" value="" name="test">
<input name="submit" value="submit" type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$something = $_POST["test"];
}
?>
That's correct _POST:
<?php
//NO ($_POST["test"])
$something = $_POST["test"];
?>
Need help identifying the problem with the following basic html/php code which works correctly when I input plain text in the textarea. Why does it return blank page when I enter a URL e.g. http://www.example.com?
<form action="" method="POST">
<textarea rows="10" cols="100" name="userdata">
<?=$_POST["userdata"]; ?></textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
<?php
echo $_POST["userdata"];
?>
When you load page first time value of $_POST["userdata"] is not set and is empty. and when your submit then only its value changed. just because of post data.
If you again hard refresh then its value will be empty. because of not post.
Simply I must say, store data in DB and fetch and then display. To do so
Post your value to another page or if in same page check by isset($_POST['userdata']) and store into db.
And Fetch from db before your html and display into textarea.
You code is working. Only first time you open the page $_POST["userdata"] does not exist yet, so try this code:
<form action="" method="POST">
<textarea rows="10" cols="100" name="userdata">
<?php
if (isset($_POST["userdata"])) {
echo $_POST["userdata"];
}
?>
</textarea>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" />
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST["userdata"])) {
var_dump( $_POST["userdata"]);
} else{
echo 'No data';
}
?>
When you see a blank page it is an error, to see all errors, put this code on the beginning of you page:
<?php
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
?>
I'll preface this with I'm not a coder nor aspiring to become one.
I just want to play around with something simple.
Please don't feel bad about spoon-feeding me here haha.
All I want is when I hit a my submit button the text entered in the text field is saved to a file called log.text
I want it to overwrite each time.
Once data has been written I want it to redirect to another page.
Tried this but it doesn't create the file nor write to it even if I create it manually. The redirect also doesn't work because I'm an idiot.
Any help guys? :(
<?php
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$file = fopen("log.txt","a+");
fwrite($file,$email);
print_r(error_get_last());
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
?>
<form action= "" method="post" name="form">
<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"><br>
</form>
It is because the action element of the form is empty.
It should be \n
<form action="action.php(or any other php file that is handling the form)" method="post" name="form">
This guide offered me the solution I was after.
Thanks anyway guys!

Because you dint checked whether the form is submitted or not. if submited create log. code given below
<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))// if to check whether submit name is passed or not
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$file = fopen("log.txt","a+");
fwrite($file,$email);
print_r(error_get_last());
header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
}
?>
<html>
<form action= "" method="post" name="form">
<input type="text" name="email">
<br>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"><br>
</form>
</html>
Recently I got this problem that I cannot solve. My HTML form cannot be submitted by using iPad, but the same form CAN be submitted from my laptop (windows machine). Please check this out:
http://www.gomap.ch/admin/pages/test.php - this is submitted correctly
http://ipadpreview.com/previewer?url=www.gomap.ch/admin/pages/test.php - this is not submitted.
This is a very simple form, and code goes like this:
<?php
error_reporting(0);
if($_POST['mirko']){
echo 'hello, Mirko';
}
?>
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="mirko"/>
</form>
Any help, please??
Thanks a lot!
You are not using valid html.Replace your code with this and have u tried on real ipad.
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php
error_reporting(0);
if($_POST['mirko']){
echo 'hello, Mirko';
}
?>
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="mirko"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
You need to add the name of the form which holds the php code into the action. In this case it would be the same form you're on. Follow what I did below with nameOfFile.php being the name of the file you posted.
<?php
error_reporting(0);
if($_POST['mirko']){
echo 'hello, Mirko';
}
?>
<form action="nameOfFile.php" method="POST">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="mirko"/>
</form>
