Why the form cannot be submitted? - php

The problem here is that when I want to submit the form, it will return to its original state (empty form). There are 2 parts in the form where user have to type in the input and also to upload files.
Here is the form..

I've try comment the file upload process and just proceed with the type-in process.. but it still return without do anything. I hope it can show some error so I can fix. When it returns empty I also feel empty.
Can someone help me. I really dont know how to proceed.

You're using if(isset($_POST['submit']) and this is looking for a button named "submit", where you have:
<input type="submit" value="Submit the form" id="submit" align="center">
which should read as:
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit the form" id="submit" align="center">
---------------------^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Cant work. If i understood your code right, you send the data via $_POST to student_newSubmission.php. Then you locate via "header" back to your old page, but you dont send the $_POST with it. You have to save the data send to the student_newSubmission and send it back to the other page. $_POST gets deleted after every script, you cant use it so save informations permanently. You have to use either $_COOKIE or $_SESSION for it.

Cannot POST php

I have a really simple php form to learn php. I have the code from a tutorial. My html is:
<form action="php/learnphp.php" method="post">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" name="username" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address</td>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" name="streetaddress" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City</td>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" name="cityaddress" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
my php file is:
<?php
$usersName = $_POST['username'];
$streetAddress = $_POST['streetaddress'];
$cityAddress = $_POST['cityaddress'];
echo '<p>Your Information</p>';
// You can combine variables with text using a .
echo $usersName. ' lives at </br>';
echo $streetAddress. ' in </br>';
echo $cityAddress. '</br></br>'; ?>
If I press the submit button i get an error that says: Cannot POST /php/learnphp.php.
i have the form in the root map and my php in a map called 'php'. I know it's probably really simple but i cant seem to figure it out.
Could be the path folder is not correct. Try make it like learnphp.php same level with <yourhtmlfile>.html. Example root/learnphp.php and root/<yourhtmlfile>.html. And you need to edit your form action
<form action="learnphp.php" method="post">
can you please try this.It's work for me.
my.php
<form action="learnphp.php" method="post">
<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" name="username" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Address</td>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" name="streetaddress" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>City</td>
<td align="center">
<input type="text" name="cityaddress" size="30" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
learnphp.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
$usersName = $_POST['username'];
$streetAddress = $_POST['streetaddress'];
$cityAddress = $_POST['cityaddress'];
echo '<p>Your Information</p>';
// You can combine variables with text using a .
echo $usersName. ' lives at </br>';
echo $streetAddress. ' in </br>';
echo $cityAddress. '</br></br>';
}
?>
You can try checking if the submit button is pressed first. If not, print an error message:
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
$usersName = $_POST['username'];
$streetAddress = $_POST['streetaddress'];
$cityAddress = $_POST['cityaddress'];
echo '<p>Your Information</p>';
// You can combine variables with text using a .
echo $usersName. ' lives at </br>';
echo $streetAddress. ' in </br>';
echo $cityAddress. '</br></br>';
}else {
echo "Post Submit is not clicked";
}

PHP update data to mysql (ERROR with undefined variable)

This is the part of the code:
It first retrieves the information according to the id. but When i change one of the information and clicked update, it gives me undefined variable error and couldnt update at all.
<?php
include("includes/connect.php");
if(isset($_GET['edit'])) {

while ($edit_row=mysqli_fetch_array($run_edit)) {
$post_id = $edit_row['post_id'];
$post_title = $edit_row['post_title'];
$post_author = $edit_row['post_author'];
$post_keywords = $edit_row['post_keywords'];
$post_image = $edit_row['post_image'];
$post_content = $edit_row['post_content'];

if(mysqli_query($con,$update_query)) {
echo "<script>alert('Post has been updated')</script>";
echo "<script>window.open('view_posts.php','_self')</script>";
}
}
}
?>
Here is the Error. It says undefined variable:
In my opinion, at the first you load script, everything is ok because you GET a page. At this time, isset($_GET['edit']) would true .
After you clicked update (I guess you submit page itself). At this point, isset($_GET['edit']) would false because you're doing POST. So, block code inside
if(isset($_GET['edit'])) {
.....
}
will be skipped. And those variables would be undefined.
Sorry for my english.

Your pro_id field is commented out in your HTML using <!-- and -->, so the following never is true:
if(isset($_GET['pro_id']))
Also, you have a mismatch between your form method POST and $_GET that you are looking for.
Your query of update is correct? I think you must use
UPDATE products1 SET dept_id='$dept_id',cat_id ='$cat_id'... the rest of values
WHERE pro_id='$id'
And verify if your dept_id is INT as well cat_id, so if they are INT you don't need ''
UPDATE products1 SET dept_id=$dept_id,cat_id =$cat_id
Try to do this steps:
First thing comment out this line,
<!--<td width="231"><input type="hidden" name="pro_id" id="pro_id" value="<t?php echo $pro_id; ?>" /></td>-->
next step,
you are sending data using POST i.e. (form method="post"), so use this
if(isset($_POST['pro_id'])) , then comment out $pro_id = $_POST['pro_id'];
you will get $pro_id value.

How to use nl2br to fetch data of textarea using php?

I am new in php. I have a web form. In which i use textarea. I have another PHP page where I display data from db and applying CRUD operation. Now here is the problem when I click on Edit button my all form data has been fetched from db but the formatting of textarea Text has been changed. It shows \r\r\r\n I use nl2br but its not working. I want to display my data in same formating.
<textarea rows="20" cols="100" id="text" name="text" style="font-size:14px;" > <?php echo !empty(nl2br($text))?(nl2br($text)):'';?> </textarea><td>

You should change your php echo code as you dont need to include the !empty verification. If you do then you will have to create that before you echo the textbox. I suggest you change your code to this:
<textarea rows="20" cols="100" id="text" name="text" style="font-size:14px;" > <?php echo nl2br($text);?> </textarea><td>
You can also find some documentation of the nl2br here :
http://php.net/manual/en/function.nl2br.php
Upon inserting to the database, apply the nl2br - as you are likely to be presenting that data as text on a page more often than an textarea.
$mysql->real_escape_string(trim(nl2br($_POST['text'])))
Where $mysql is the mysqli database connection
Disclaimer As Bartdude mentioned, this is not especially good practice, since the information in the database should be as free from tags as possible - however, if this data is to be used in HTML pages only, then this solution should work.
Then when returning the data to a textarea, simply remove the <br> tags, the newline characters will be there anyway and should be interpreted by the browser correctly.
str_replace("<br>", " ", $row['text'])
