I have a process.php file for processing a comment/message form. If there is an error during the processing, the incorrect form content is echoed and shown as a web page named process.php to the viewer for correction and resubmitting.
The problem is that I need the echoed content to contain various <?php include("xxxx.php");?> elements so that it matches the rest of my site. But this seems to make the page fall over (showing blank page with no content). I've been told that I should use either include("xxxx.php"); or echo file_get_contents("xxxx.php"); from within the echoed content, but neither displays the intended content.
Any help in these issues would be greatly appreciated.
Code: (some items xxxxx for security)
<?php
// Information to be modified
$your_email = "xxxxxxxx#xxxxx.xx.xx"; // email address to which the form data will be sent
$subject = "Contact message"; // subject of the email that is sent
$thanks_page = "thankyou.htm"; // path to the thank you page following successful form submission
$contact_page = "mail_form_styled.php"; // path to the HTML contact page where the form appears
// Nothing needs to be modified below this line
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) {
header( "Location: $contact_page" );
}
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$nam = $_POST["name"];
$ema = trim($_POST["email"]);
$com = $_POST["comments"];

}
if (empty($ema) || !filter_var($ema, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {

You'd simply use CSS as you normally would...
<?php
// index.php
?>
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.myClass {
color: #f00;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<?php
include('myFile.php');
?>
</body>
</html>
<?php
// included myFile.php
echo '<p class="myClass">Echoed content!</p>';
If you're ending up with a blank page with no content then you potentially have errors in your PHP. Ensure error reporting is enabled and you'll be able to see what's going wrong.

I've looked up other questions with possible solutions to my problem, but they don't seem to work for me.
According to the Network console in Firefox, my contact form sends GET when I set the method to POST.
I have checked my HTML code for errors, but can't find any; no unclosed forms, divs, etc. I've checked the syntax for my php, too.
I also tried setting the submit button to <button type="submit" formmethod="post" formaction="form-to-email.php" name="submit" class="button">Und los</button>'but it doesn't help, either.

This is the PHP (saved in the same directory as kontakt.php):
<?php
$titles = $usrmsg = $usrname = $email = "";
$errors = array("email"=>"", "usrname"=>"", "usrmsg"=>"", "titles"=>"");
if(isset($_POST["submit"])){

if(empty($_POST["email"])){

} else {

if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){

}
}
//check name
if(empty($_POST["usrname"])){

} else {
$usrname = $_POST["usrname"];
$usrname = filter_var($usrname, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z\s]+$/", $usrname)){

}
}
//check message
if(empty($_POST["usrmsg"])){
$errors["usrmsg"] = "Hier sollte etwas Text stehen. Muss ja nicht viel sein.";
} else {
$usrmsg = $_POST["usrmsg"];
$usrmsg = filter_var($usrmsg, FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
}
//check titles
$titles = $_POST["titles"];
if ($titles==NULL) {
$errors["titles"] = "Welche Ansprache darf ich verwenden?";
}
}
?>
EDIT: Here's the JS for client-side form validation (it's not a finished version, some validations are still missing/may get changed, but so far it's working as it should):
var myForm = document.forms.myForm;
var message = document.getElementById('message');
myForm.onsubmit = function() {
//get IDs for the title
var mr = document.getElementById('mr');
var mrs = document.getElementById('mrs');
var mx = document.getElementById('mx');
var pers = document.getElementById('person');
//get ID for the textarea
var usrInput = document.getElementById('message-me');
if (myForm.usrname.value == "") {
message.innerHTML = "Moment! Wie heißt du?"
return false;
} else if (usrInput.value == "") {
message.innerHTML = "Das Nachrichtenfeld sollte nicht leer sein..."
return false;
} else if (email.value == "") {
message.innerHTML = "Wie lautet deine Email Adresse?"
return false;
} else if (usrInput.value.length < 10) {
//check min length of textarea
message.innerHTML = "Die Nachricht sollte etwas länger sein..."
return false;
} else if (!mr.checked &&
!mrs.checked &&
!mx.checked &&
!pers.checked) {
message.innerHTML = "Welche Ansprache darf ich verwenden?"
return false;
} else {
message.innerHTML = "";
return true;
}
I'm using XAMPP (Apache) to test this via localhost.
How can I get the form to send POST, not GET? Did I overlook syntax errors, typos or are there errors with my variables that I can't find? Thx for any input.
This happens sometimes. I don't think I am experienced enough to give you a perfect solution but here's a bunch of try outs you can implement:
Try to write the "post" keyword in capitals (like "POST").
Sometimes the xampp server does not reflect changes even after you save and refresh. Try refreshing with (ctrl+F5). This imposes a hard refresh causing the xampp server to reload all the resourses.
Try restarting the xampp server.
Please revert if anything was helpful....

PHP code is not being executed, but the code shows in the browser source code

Closed 5 years ago.
I have just started learning PHP and was trying to create a responsive contact form using PHP.
But the problem is that my PHP code gets printed as it is on the web page as it is and not in the required format as I need it.

Is this page served by a web server and does it have a .php extension?
PHP is a preprocessor which means that it needs to be run by a web server. Try WAMP (Windows) or MAMP (for Mac), rename your file to .php and retry.
I am wanting to put a delete button, so people can delete their post if they want on my simple blog website. I am just a little unsure how to do it. I guess I need to put a value=delete input field on my posting_wall but not sure where to go from there. Thank you in advnace if you can help me.

So i have a form here, and I want on the to do some php so that if the field is empty, it will say once you submit the form after it loads to the post page, that sorry you entered no date. I also want to add strip tags, however I am unsure how, if they go on the posting_wall or if they go in the form.php? I want to use strip all tags.
I believe the empty validation was if(!empty(($date)) { echo "sorry you did not enter a date"; } but i could not get it to work.
Thank you in advance if you can help me with this. I will post the form.php and the posting wall below.

You can check through jquery in the submit function
var datepicker=$("#datepicker").val();
if(datepicker=='') { alert('Please enter date'); return false; }
It should be
if(empty(($date)) {
echo "sorry you did not enter a date";
}
NOT
if(!empty(($date)) {
echo "sorry you did not enter a date";
}
The first expression will print "sorry you did not enter a date" if the date field is empty. The second expression will print that message if the date field is not empty.
You can try the code below. It will print 'This is an empty string'
<?php
$date = '';
if (empty($date)) {
echo 'This is an empty string';
}
if (!empty($date)) {
echo 'The date is ' . $date;
}
I have this file that I need help fixing the errors I am gettng. I checked and it seems fine, but something must be wrong. The errors are
Notice: Undefined index: name in /home/info130/FA13/users/tmh233fa13/www/Test/posting_wall.php on line 62
and my php is listed below, both files.
Thanks!

It means that the HTTP POST lack the 'name' key.
The error is explicit, if you edit the php file and go to line 62, you can understand.
You never set $name, you set $username.
Copyed and clipped from your code:
$username = strip_tags($_REQUEST['name']);
...
$post_fields['username'] = $name;
