Form not submitting Option Input value on POST - php

Got a simple form made of a text input and a option select input. When submititing, Firebug shows me that on POST no value from the option input has been sent, only the value from the text one. After checking other similar questions, don't find any spelling mistake...
FORM:
<form id="turn_conf" method="POST" action="config/forms/turn_conf/turn_insert.php">
<div class="smartFormContent">
<p class="inputForm">
<label for="nombre">Nombre:</label>
<input id="tu_name" class="" type="text" value="" name="tu_name">
</p>
<p class="inputForm">
<label for="tipo">Tipo turno:</label>
<select id="tu_type" class="" name="tu_type">
<option value="1">MaƱana</option>
<option value="2">Tarde</option>
<option value="3">Noche</option>
</select>
</p>
<input class="smartFormSubmit" type="submit" value="Crear" name="submit">
</div>
</form>
Firebug shows posted data as:
FIY: this POST form is sent by jQuery, here is the code:
function validaDatos(e)
{
var turnName = $('input[name=tu_name]').val();
var turnType = $('input[name=tu_type]').val();
$.post($(this).attr('action'), { tu_name:turnName, tu_type:turnType }).success(feedback);
var emptyRow='<div class="tableRow newRow"><div class="contentColumn60"><span class="tableContentText"></span></div><div class="contentColumn20"><span class="tableContentText"></span></div><div class="contentColumn10"><div class="tableIconLink"></div></div><div class="contentColumn10"><div class="tableIconLink"></div></div></div>';
$(emptyRow).prependTo('.tableContent').hide().slideDown(500);
messageInsert();
e.preventDefault();
}
function feedback (datos) {
var content= datos;
$('.newRow').html(datos);
}

There are duplicate FORM tags:
<form method="POST" action="config/forms/turn_conf/turn_insert.php" id="turn_conf">
<form id="turn_conf" method="POST" action="config/forms/turn_conf/turn_insert.php">
This will probably cause the browser not to post the data properly.
The two FORM tags also share the same ID which is not permitted id="turn_conf".

var turnType = $('input[name=tu_type]').val()
tu_type is not an input, is a select. This will work:
var turnType = $('select[name=tu_type]').val()

JQuery: event.preventDefault() isn't preventing a refresh

I've been building a mail form that is supposed to pass the information into a php document that handles sanitization and mailing, but I didn't want it to refresh so i decided to use JQuery and AJAX. I'm fairly new to JQuery and haven't used any AJAX before so I am a bit of a rookie when it comes to this...
Even though I have the .submit(function(e){e.preventDefault();}); it still submits the ordinary way and gives an error when it can't find film_mail in the PHP. Which means that it isn't stopping the submit and isn't passing the code to the PHP.
I've tested with alerts and the JQuery works in to the if() but after that some thing goes wrong.
Here is the code that causes the issue (some of the classes and ids are in swedish but that shouldn't cause an error...)
HTML
<div id="film" class="hidden" >
<form id="film_form" action="formular-send.php" method="post">
<input id="film_mail" type="text" name="mail" placeholder="Mail adress">
<input id="film_nr" type="number" name="nr" min="1">
<input id="film_antal" type="number" name="antal" min="1">
<input id="film_namn" type="text" name="namn" placeholder="Namn">
<input id="film_adress" type="text" name="adress" placeholder="Adress">
<input id="film_ort" type="text" name="ort" placeholder="Ort">
<input id="film_postnr" type="text" name="postnr" placeholder="Postnummer">
<textarea id="film_medelande" name="medelande" placeholder="Medelande"></textarea>
<button id="film_submit" type="submit" name="submit">Skicka</button>
<div class="error-mesage" ></div>
</form>
</div>
JQuery
$(document).ready(() => {
var emne = $('#emneid').val();
if (emne == 'film') {
$('#film_form').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var mail = $('#film_mail').val();
var nr = $('#film_nr').val();
var antal = $('#film_antal').val();
var namn = $('#film_namn').val();
var adress = $('#film_adress').val();
var ort = $('#film_ort').val();
var postnr = $('#film_postnr').val();
var medelande = $('#film_medelande').val();
var submit = $('#film_submit').val();
$.post('formular-send.php', {
film_mail: mail,
film_nr: nr,
film_antal: antal,
film_namn: namn,
film_adress: adress,
film_ort: ort,
film_postnr: postnr,
film_medelande: medelande,
film_submit: submit,
emne: emne
});
// I heard that .load() had been removed in 3.0 so i tried to use $.post() because I thougt that might work but it sadly didn't...
// but I kept the .load() incase it'd be useful
/*$('#film_form').load('formular-send.php', {
film_mail: mail,
film_nr: nr,
film_antal: antal,
film_namn: namn,
film_adress: adress,
film_ort: ort,
film_postnr: postnr,
film_medelande: medelande,
film_submit: submit,
emne: emne
});*/
});
} else {
}
})
PHP
<?php
$filmmail = $_POST['film_mail'];
?>
If there is anything else that is needed i'd be happy to post it to.
I think $('#emneid').val() returns something different than 'film' and your listener is never attached.
Can you please double check the returned value of $('#emneid').val();
In addition of other comments, I think you need to add the correct name for you button or your PHP form will not work.
<?php
$filmmail = $_POST['film_mail']; //for the moment your need to put $_POST['mail'] because your button is named mail instead of film_mail
?>
Please also take care in production / later use, don't use directly $_POST or your code will be vulnerable from some SQL injection and so on. Take a look at htmlspecialchars function.
Edit :
I think you can just use HTML form and php to post your data, without posting it via JS/Jquery. If you want to have some data validation before sending it, you can just call an event before submit like described in this post : (Validate form before submit jquery)
I think you maybe have a problem with your selector to trigger the function, I don't know the submit function but maybe try with on('submit') or at least it will work with on('click').
$(document).on('click', '#film_submit button[type=submit]', function(e) {
var isValid = $(e.target).parents('form').isValid();
if(!isValid) {
e.preventDefault(); //prevent the default action
}
});
<button> does not have attribute type, but <input> has, try change <button> to <input>
UPD
Where is the tag with id of #emneid?
Try this. Please replace your HTML with my HTML code.
<div id="film" class="hidden" >
<form id="film_form" action="formular-send.php" method="post">
<input id="film_mail" type="text" name="film_mail" placeholder="Mail adress">
<input id="film_nr" type="number" name="film_nr" min="1">
<input id="film_antal" type="number" name="film_antal" min="1">
<input id="film_namn" type="text" name="film_namn" placeholder="Namn">
<input id="film_adress" type="text" name="film_adress" placeholder="Adress">
<input id="film_ort" type="text" name="ort" placeholder="Ort">
<input id="film_postnr" type="text" name="film_ort" placeholder="Postnummer">
<textarea id="film_medelande" name="film_medelande" placeholder="Medelande"></textarea>
<button id="film_submit" type="submit" name="submit">Skicka</button>
<div class="error-mesage" ></div>
</form>
</div>

jQuery making forms disappear and appear after each other

As the title says This is the code that I tried with. The forms must appear one by one because information from previous forms determine how the next ones will look.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#first_form').submit(function(){
$('#first_form').fadeOut('fast');
$('#second_form').fadeIn('fast');
});
});
<form action="new_patch.php" method="POST" id="first_form">
Title: <input type="text" name="patch" placeholder="Patch 4.20">
<br/>
Number of Champions: <input type="number" name="champ_number" min="1" max="99">
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<form action="new_patch.php" method="POST" id="second_form" style="display: none;" >
<input type="text" value="text">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
<?php
$champ_number = null;
if(isset($_POST['champ_number']))
{
$champ_number = $_POST['champ_number'];
for($champ_number;$champ_number>0;$champ_number--)
{
echo "<br/>Champion ".$champ_number."<input type=\"number\" name=".$champ_number." min=\"1\" max=\"99\">";
}
}
?>
</form>
You're mixing client-side and server-side form code. Submitting the form will reload the page entirely, so from the looks of your code it will fade in the new form when the old form is submitted, but then reload the page so the old form will show again anyway.
You could either:
Let the PHP determine how the next form appears based on the submission of the first form, e.g. if (isset($_POST["First_form_submit"]) { Show second form... }
Probably better and more user-friendly: make the second form appear below once the user has filled in the relevant inputs on the first form before they've submitted
you can use:
$('#first_form').submit(function(){
$('#first_form').fadeOut(function() {
$('#second_form').fadeIn('fast');
});
return false;
});
From the jQuery documentation the syntax is fadeIn( [duration ] [, complete ] ) it accepts a duration and a onComplete callback that you can use to execute the next action when the first is completed.
I did this once too, just add a submit class to the button and make it like this:
<input type="submit" value="submit" class="submit">
Change script to a click function.
$(document).ready(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$('.submit').click(function(){
$('#first_form').fadeOut(400);
$('#second_form').fadeIn(400);
});
});
PS, also you need to prevent submit default...otherwise it will just submit the form, see this JSfiddle

can i submit a form without submit button or without hitting enter?

Can I submit value of <select> in php form without having submit button?
In my html/php code I am using two form or we can say two <select> as you can see in coding. In the second <select>(sub category) I want to use value of first <select>(main category) so that it can show me sub category of main <select>. but I am getting confused, how to do this on a single page without using js.
See my code:
<body>
<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>" method="post">
main course name <select name ="bcate" ><option value=''>choose</option><?php $auth->cmaster_array(); ?></select>
</form>
<form action="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);?>" method="post">
sub course name <select name ="sbcate" ><option value=''>select sub course</option><?php $auth->clmaster_array($frsbct); ?></select>
section name <input type="text" name="cname" required/>
remarks <input type="text" name="remarks" required/>
<input type="submit" name="section_master" value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
The thing you've asked that , You need value of first select input for second input values.
You can do this only by using jQuery without submitting form.
write change event of first select input box.
then send data to your server by jQuery ajax.
and then fill the second input box received from ajax
Code :
// To get value of select box
$('#select_box_id').change(function()
{
var select_box_one_value = $(this).val();
});
$.ajax
({
type: "POST",
url: HOST + "/path/to_your_controller_function",
data: 'data_of_select_box='+select_box_one_value,
cache: false,
success: function(msg)
{
}
});
using this , your controller will get the value of select box value and then return data from there , and you will receive that data in msg variable.
You can submit the form using javascript.
You can use this code to submit the form
document.getElementById("[ur form id should be here]").submit();
You can use following code
<form id="jsform" action="whatever you want">
// input fields
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('jsform').submit();
</script>

PHP: change page action of a form by url in select

hy, i have a problem with a form. i know the question is simple but i can not have a solution. Well, this is my form:
<form id="search" method="post" action="cerca_redirect2.php" >
<select id="tipo" name="tipo"class="chzn-select" style="width:165px;" tabindex="1" >
<option value="http://case.vortigo.it/vendita-immobili/index.php"> Vendita</option>
<option value="http://case.vortigo.it/affitto-immobili/index.php">Affitto</option>
</select>
<input id="field" name="field" type="text" value=""/>
<input id="submit" type="submit" value="" />
</form>
my goal is when i select "Vendita" and i submit the form i have to go to the url in the select "Vendita", for each select. someone can help me? thanks
In the server side php code, do something like this
if (isset($_POST['tipo']) && !empty($_POST['tipo']))
{
header('Location: ' . $_POST['tipo']);
}
Note: This is a very basic version, you will want to ensure the url is valid by either maintaining a list of urls on the server, or something similar.
There are many different ways, but you can for example use following:
See the onsubmit part in the form definition
<form id="search" method="post" action="cerca_redirect2.php" onsubmit="this.action=document.getElementById('tipo')[document.getElementById('tipo').selectedIndex].value" >
If I understan your question correctly, you need a way to change the action value to the selected option's value
this is how to do that
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#tipo").on("change", function(){
$("#search").attr("action", $(this).val());
});
});
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/6ybMP/
You want to change the action of the form based on the select? The following should be along the lines of what you want.
$('#tipo').on('change', function() {
var newAction = this.val();
$('#search').prop('action', newAction);
}
UPDATE
You will want to wrap this code in $(document).ready() so that the event will be registered after the DOM has been loaded.
Like so:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tipo').on('change', function() {
var newAction = this.val();
$('#search').prop('action', newAction);
}
});

Reading and printing user inputs in HTML in PHP

I have got a form (php in html or the other way around). Once user selects an option in a drop down list, it would get the input value and create a few text boxes. It seems like I have to use onchange(). How do I read the input and perform logics within the script inself? Instead of opening another .php script?
Currently this is what I have.
<?php
$tables = $_POST["tables"];
?>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">
Table Name: <div id="tables">
<select name="tables">
<option value="Applications">Application</option>
<option value="Device">Device</option>
</select>
</div>
</form>
<?
echo "".$tables."";
?>
You can't interact with PHP once the HTML is sent to the browser without either
Refreshing the page, or
Using AJAX (JavaScript).
If you know the options in the <select> beforehand (which it seems like you do), you should write some JavaScript to accomplish what you need. Here is a simple example using jQuery.
$('#tables_select').change(
function( eventObject ){
alert('You chose ' + $(this).val());
switch( $( this ).val())
{
case 'Applications':
$('#tables').append('<input type="text" name="application_name" value="Enter an application name" />"');
break;
case 'Device':
$('#tables').append('<input type="text" name="device_name" value="Enter a device name" />"');
break;
}
}
);
You will need to add additional logic to remove the inserted elements if the user changes their choice, and to insert the correct <input> elements when the page first loads, but it is a good starting point.
if you want to add any input type ... here is the demo demo with code
you use following method.
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>" onChange="return createTxtbox()">
Table Name: <div id="tables">
<select name="tables">
<option value="Applications">Application</option>
<option value="Device">Device</option>
</select>
</div>
<span id="fooBar"> </span>
</form>
then write javascript,
<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function createTxtbox() {
var type="text";
//Create an input type dynamically.
var element = document.createElement("input");
//Assign different attributes to the element.
element.setAttribute("type", type);
element.setAttribute("value", type);
element.setAttribute("name", type);
var foo = document.getElementById("fooBar");
//Append the element in page (in span).
foo.appendChild(element);
}
</SCRIPT>
