I want that when the user submits the form, and some reason happen some error, I want that the fields that the user already wrote to be saved, so I want to be show the values the user already wrote.
Im doing this with code below, but I dont understand why, when I submit the form the fields stay empty.
Somebody there see something wrong?
<?php
if (isset($_POST['sendForm'])) {
$f['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$f['content'] = $_POST['content'];
$f['date'] = $_POST['date'];
} ?>
<form name="form" action="" method="post">
<label class="line">
<span class="data">Name:</span>
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php if (isset($f['name'])) echo $f['name']; ?>"/>
</label>
<label class="line">
<span class="data">Content:</span>
<textarea name="content" rows="3" value="<?php if (isset($f['content'])) echo $f['content']; ?>"></textarea>
</label>
<label class="line">
<span class="data">Date:</span>
<input type="text" name="date" value="<?php if (isset($f['date'])) {
echo $f['date'];
} else {
echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s');
} ?>"/>
</label>
<input type="submit" value="Create" name="sendForm" class="btn"/>
</form>
In short you can set by this way,
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['name'])) echo $_POST['name']; ?>" />
You do not need to use $f['name']. you can get value directly by $_POST['name'] method.

I am currently making a report error form that has 4 fields:
Job ID $jobid
Part ID part_id
Machine
Note
The user clicks on a table corresponding the their work and are brought to a new page with a url that has variable. At the moment all the fields are empty however I want the fields to be populated automatically except for notes.
Current Model
Link to report error form:
$EM_html = ''.$tick.'
Report error form:
<form action="" method="post">
Job Number: <input type="text" value="<?php print ($jobid) ?>" name="jobNum"><br>
Part Number: <input type="text" value="<?php print ($part_id) ?>" name="partNum"><br>
Machine Code: <input type="text" name="machCode"><br>
Note:<br><textarea rows="5" name="note" cols="30" placeholder="More detail... (Is there a way to recreate the error?)"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Example URL
http://sra-pstest/report_error_form.php?JobID=KANBAN16-09-04-01&Machine=EM&PartID=124047
How do "extract" the information out of the url (JobID, Machine, PartID) and automatically fill out the form?
You can use $_GET
<?php
if(isset($_GET))
{
foreach($_GET as $key=>$value)
{
$$key=$value;
}
echo $JobID."<br>".$Machine."<br>".$PartID;
}
?>
Please try this
<?php
$jobid = #$_REQUEST['JobID'];
$part_id = #$_REQUEST['PartID'];
$machCode = #$_REQUEST['Machine'];
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Job Number: <input type="text" value="<?php print ($jobid) ?>" name="jobNum"><br>
Part Number: <input type="text" value="<?php print ($part_id) ?>" name="partNum"><br>
Machine Code: <input type="text" name="machCode"><br>
Note:<br><textarea rows="5" name="note" cols="30" placeholder="More detail... (Is there a way to recreate the error?)"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
You use $_GET Method like this code
<?php
$jobid=$part_id=$machine="";
if(isset($_GET['JobID']))
{
$jobid= $_GET['JobID'];
}
if(isset($_GET['Machine']))
{
$machine= $_GET['Machine'];
}
if(isset($_GET['PartID']))
{
$part_id= $_GET['PartID'];
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<?php $jobNumber = isset($_GET['JobID']) ? $_GET['JobID'] : '' ?>
Job Number: <input type="text" value="<?php echo jobNumber; ?>" name="jobNum"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Try using isset and post method to check if variable are declared and get the variable data on submit of form
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$jobid = $_POST['JobID'];
$part_id = $_POST['PartID'];
$machCode = $_POST['Machine'];
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
Job Number: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $jobid; ?>" name="jobNum"><br>
Part Number: <input type="text" value="<?php echo $part_id; ?>" name="partNum"><br>
Machine Code: <input type="text" name="machCode" value="<?php echo $machCode; ?>"><br>
Note:<br><textarea rows="5" name="note" cols="30" placeholder="More detail... (Is there a way to recreate the error?)"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

the variable is loaded in a form in which product details can be changed. the form links to this page with the code above. but whenever I submit the form and try to change te detail i get an error of an undefined index. which is what the $_GET does in line 5. The foreach loop needs the index to be defined but whenever the form is submitted, the index in the URL is gone so the loop doesnt produce the variables that need to go to the database. I hope this makes sense. Can anybody help me out please?
Your html does not include a field named id.
You are sending the form as POST not GET, so after you add the correct field in the HTML you need to refer to it as $product_id = $_POST['id'];
No need for enctype="multipart/form-data", it will only be helpful when you are uploading files. Otherwise it can cause you problems.

I am using below code for a html form.(it has two forms) I am able to keep the textarea field after the first and second form submission. but issue I am facing here is the dropdown menu selection.
Code:
<html>
<body>
<div class="emcsaninfo-symcli-main">
<form id="form1" name="form1" action=" " method="post" >
<div class="input">Your Name</div>
<div class="response"><span><input class="textbox" id="myname" name="myname" type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myname'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myname']); }?>" /></span> </div>
<div class="input">Your Place</div>
<div class="response"><span><input class="textbox" id="myplace" name="myplace" type="text" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myplace'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myplace']); }?>" /></span> </div>
<div class="input-quest">Graduation Status</div>
<div class="input-resp"><select id="graduation" name="graduation" OnChange="CMT();"><option class="dropdown-options">Graduate</option><option class="dropdown-options">Non Graduate</option></select></div>
<div class="submit">
<input id="first_submit" type="submit" name="first_submit" value="first_submit" />
</div>
</form>
<?php
if(!empty($_POST['myname']) && !empty($_POST['myplace']) || !empty($_POST['output_textarea'] ) )
{
$myname = $_POST['myname'];
$myplace = $_POST['myplace'];
$graduation = $_POST['graduation'];
?>
<form id="form2" name="form2" action=" " method="post" >
<textarea onclick="this.select()" name="output_textarea" id="output_textarea" cols="100" rows="25" readonly value="<?php if(isset($_POST['output_textarea'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['output_textarea']); }?>">
<?php
echo "My name is $myname and I am from $myplace, and I am $graduation";
?>
</textarea>
<input id="submit1" type="submit" name="name_field" value="submit1" />
<input id="submit2" type="submit" name="place_field" value="submit2" />
<input id="myname_hidden" name="myname" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myname'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myname']); }?>"/>
<input id="myplace_hidden" name="myplace" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myplace'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myplace']); }?>" />
<input id="graduation_hidden" name="graduation" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['graduation'])) { $graduation = $_POST['graduation']; }?>" />
</form>
<?php
function name()
{
echo $_POST["output_textarea"];
}
if(isset($_POST['name_field']))
{
name();
}
function place()
{
echo $_POST["output_textarea"];
}
if(isset($_POST['place_field']))
{
place();
}
}
?>
</div>
</html>
</body>
For example if I put name = John, place : UK and selecting graduation status as graduate, it will will give me first form output as in my output textarea
My name is John and I am from UK, and I am Graduate
I have two seperate submit button for second form, using that I am doing some other function with help of the output textarea
If I press any of the second button,I m able to keep entries my name and place area, but it not keeping the dropdown selection. so it will only display like after submitting submit1 or submit2
My name is John and I am from UK, and I am
Here,
How can I keep the the dropdown selection also with the output text area
Will I able to show only the output_textarea content after second form submission without keeping the first form data ?
PHP FIDDLE
You have an error in logic in the hidden input for the "graduate" element.
This is what you have at lines 53-55. Line 55 doesn't have an echo instead it has an $graduation = $_POST['graduation']; which won't help you:
<input id="myname_hidden" name="myname" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myname'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myname']); }?>"/>
<input id="myplace_hidden" name="myplace" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myplace'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myplace']); }?>" />
<input id="graduation_hidden" name="graduation" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['graduation'])) { $graduation = $_POST['graduation']; }?>" />
instead of that, this code should work:
<input id="myname_hidden" name="myname" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myname'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myname']); }?>"/>
<input id="myplace_hidden" name="myplace" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['myplace'])) { echo htmlentities ($_POST['myplace']); }?>" />
<input id="graduation_hidden" name="graduation" type="hidden" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['graduation'])) { echo htmlentities($_POST['graduation']); }?>" />
The script for handling the action of my form redirects to the form page if the values are not in proper format. I want to fill the textfields and textarea with the faulty data the user entered on redirect to the form page. I have written the following script which redirects the page on wrong value submission, but does not fill the fields thereafter.
script on form page:
<?php
if(session_id('stat')=="true")
{
$isbn=$_SESSION['var1'] ;
$name=$_SESSION['var2'] ;
$author=$_SESSION['var3'] ;
$publisher=$_SESSION['var4'];
$price=$_SESSION['var5'];
$descrip=$_SESSION['var6'];
$status=$_SESSION['stat'];
}
else
{
$isbn="";
$name="";
$author="";
$publisher="";
$price="";
$descrip="";
$status=false;
}
?>
The html part of the form:
<form action="scripts/addscript.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="form1" id="form1">
<label for="isbn">ISBN</label>
<input type="text" name="isbn" id="isbn" value="<?php $isbn ?>"/>
<p>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="<?php echo $name; ?>"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="author">Author</label>
<input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $author; ?>"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="publisher">Publisher</label>
<input type="text" name="publisher" id="publisher" value="<?php echo $publisher; ?>"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="price">Price</label>
<input type="text" name="price" id="price" value="<?php echo $price;?>"/>
</p>
<p>
<label for="description">Description</label>
<textarea name="description" id="description" cols="45" rows="5"><?php echo $descrip; ?></textarea>
</p>
<p>
<label for="img">Select an image for the book:
<input type="file" name="img" id="img" />
</label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit"/>
</p>
</form>
The redirecting script on addscript.php to which the form values are submitted:
<?php
// Get values from form
$isbn=$_POST['isbn'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$author=$_POST['author'];
$publisher=$_POST['publisher'];
$price=$_POST['price'];
$descrip=$_POST['description'];
$_SESSION['var1'] = $isbn;
$_SESSION['var2'] = $name;
$_SESSION['var3'] = $author;
$_SESSION['var4'] = $publisher;
$_SESSION['var5'] = $price;
$_SESSION['var6'] = $descrip;
if(strlen($isbn)==0||strlen($name)==0||strlen($author)==0||strlen($publisher)==0||strlen($price)==0)
{
$_SESSION['stat']="true";
header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
}
Please telll me where is the problem and how can I solve the issue?
Thanks in advance.
session_start() must be called at the top of your PHP script to use the $_SESSION variable.
