I'm having form and page(Template Page) in WP. Through form, I want send values GET, then the page create query.
form:
<form id="homepage_form" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="48" />
<input class="first" type="text" name="name" />
<input type="text" name="location"/>
<select name="category">
<option value="0" disabled selected>Kategori</option>
</select>
<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
First Question. Do I need send id page in form?(input type="hidden" name="p" value="48"). Maybe is other method.
Second Question. When I sent this form, I saw "page_id_48/?location=asdasd". WP stolen second GET (name).
Now I know... I don't like forms in WP or I don't understand.
you need the attribute value , in order to GET it.
<input class="first" type="text" name="name" value="something" />
In WP can't to send get 'name'
<input class="first" type="text" name="name" />
<- bad
<input class="first" type="text" name="notname" /> <- ok

I was wondering if it would be possible to have a variable in the URL created when submitting a form?
form:
<form class="register_form" action="action.php" method="get">
Team Name*: <input type="text" name="teamname" required />
Team Region*: <input type="text" name="teamregion" maxlength="4" required />
Team Leader*: <input type="text" name="teamleader" maxlength="16" required />
Team Members: <input type="text" name="teammembers" />
<input name="register_submit" type="submit" value="Register" />
</form>
I'd like the link to end up as: http://.../action.php?do=register
My reasoning for this is so that I can use action.php for more than one thing using if statements. Thanks ^^
Just append the variable you want to the action link.
<form class="register_form" action="action.php?do=register" method="get">
Team Name*: <input type="text" name="teamname" required />
Team Region*: <input type="text" name="teamregion" maxlength="4" required />
Team Leader*: <input type="text" name="teamleader" maxlength="16" required />
Team Members: <input type="text" name="teammembers" />
<input name="register_submit" type="submit" value="Register" />
</form>
Or you can add a hidden field to your form:
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="register" />
Sure, the form action URL can have a query string:
<form class="register_form" action="action.php?do=register" method="POST">
The form data will be sent via POST but do will still be available via GET.
You need to add this to the form
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="register">
Yes, it is possible. You can use any one of following methods
1) You can set the name of your submit button "do"; As the value of your submit button is "Register"
<input type="submit" name="do" value="Register" />
OR
2) You can add a hidden field to your form
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="register" />
I'm trying to create a search box that would have 4 inputs but output as one search. Here is my current code:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://sitename.com/">
<input type="text" name="s" />
<input type="text" name="a" />
<input type="text" name="b" />
<input type="text" name="c" />
<div class="clear_space"></div>
<input type="submit" class="submit" name="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>
But that outputs like this in wordpress: /?s=milk&a=eggs&b=cheese&c=garlic&submit=Search
But I need it to output like this: /?s=milk+egg+cheese+garlic&submit=Search
So somehow those additional inputs need to add their text to the first ?s= with just a +... Any help is massively appreciated.
Are you kidding??
The + that you are seeking is simply a space. Have one text field, and when the form is submitted the spaces in between the words will be converted into +.
Wow, you have a lot of problems, but before we get deep into them let me tell you that your "output" is in fact a get parameter, or a URL. Now you should NEVER use the same id for different tags (!!!). If you think about a valid reason to do that, then think again.
Change your form as follows:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="http://sitename.com/">
<input type="text" class="field" placeholder="Search" />
<input type="text" class="field" placeholder="Search" />
<input type="text" class="field" placeholder="Search" />
<input type="text" class="field" placeholder="Search" />
<input type="hidden" name="s" id="s" />
<div class="clear_space"></div>
<input type="submit" class="submit" name="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>
and then implement a form submit event to calculate your value and assign to your input field. Cheers.
EDIT:
Use the following js code to run before you submit your form:
//...
var value = "";
$(".field").each(function(){
value += ((value !== "") ? (" ") : ("")) + $(this).val();
});
$("#s").val(value);
//...
I hope I ask this question correctly, and if not please direct me how to repair it. I have had it deleted as a post once already...
My goal is to submit a form with one drop down, with numbers like 100, 200, 300 (for how many T-shirts you want to order)... Then depending on what is selected from the drop down have a series of text boxes (for number placement) that must add up to the selected number of shirts you want to order from the dropdown.
My idea is to capture all these text fields in an array, and send them off to a function to be added...
Can someone assist me please?
Here is the form code I know does not work, but I want it to work...
<form>
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="PoloDesign" value="100" id="PoloDesign_0" />
100</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="PoloDesign" value="200" id="PoloDesign_1" />
200</label>
<br />
<label>
<input type="checkbox" name="PoloDesign" value="300" id="PoloDesign_2" />
300</label>
<br />
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name1" value="{$name1}"/>
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name2" value="{$name2}"/>
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name3" value="{$name3}"/>
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name4" value="{$name4}"/>
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name5" value="{$name5}"/>
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name6" value="{$name6}"/>
<input type="text" name="name[1]" id="name7" value="{$name7}"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
Just change each
name="name[1]"
To
name="name[]"
Then the fields are posted as an array you can iterate through in PHP
if (is_array($_POST['name']):
foreach ($_POST['name'] as $key=>$field):
// do something here
$yourKey = $key +1;
$yourValue = $field;
I have changed your code a little and tried to make it work using regular expression:
<?php
$name_array = preg_grep('/name[1-9]*/', $_GET);
?>
So, basically it checks all submitted variables and creates array from all variables that have name at start and a number at end. So, the form part should change to look like this:
<input type="text" name="name1" id="name1" value="{$name1}"/>
<input type="text" name="name2" id="name2" value="{$name2}"/>
<input type="text" name="name3" id="name3" value="{$name3}"/>
<input type="text" name="name4" id="name4" value="{$name4}"/>
<input type="text" name="name5" id="name5" value="{$name5}"/>
<input type="text" name="name6" id="name6" value="{$name6}"/>
<input type="text" name="name7" id="name7" value="{$name7}"/>
I tested on Apache2 and PHP 5.3
I have multiple forms and I have one php script that I want to use to process these forms but when I click on submit for any of the forms...the script is processed by the number of forms with the submit button named 'submitForm' in this case, the alert will show 3 times instead of once! What am I not doing right?
NB. I hope this makes much sense?
html code
<form action="" name="form1" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
<form action="" name="form2" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
<form action="" name="form3" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
php script
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitForm'])) {
echo('<script>alert("Form Submitted")</script>');
}
?>
when I click on submit for any particular form, it submits all the forms.
this is not true.
Once your forms have proper formatting, your browser will submit only current one.
(and PHP has nothing to do here)
however, whole page will be reloaded, if you mean that. That is okay - when you submit a form, a page is intended to reload. If you need another behavior, you have to explain your wishes.
Also note that none of your text fields being sent to the server as they have no names.
I guess the question I should be asking is, how do I pass a particular form to php instead of writing multiple php scripts to handle each form!!!
well, it seems you want to ask how to distinguish these forms.
add a hidden field into each
<input type="hidden" name="step" value="1" />
and then in PHP
if ($_POST['step'] == 1) {
//first form
}
if ($_POST['step'] == 2) {
//second
}
This submits one form of many to php. Copy, paste, test, and study.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitForm'])) {
print_r($_POST);
}
?>
<form action="" name="form1" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" name="A" />
<input type="text" value="" name="B" />
<input type="text" value="" name="C" />
<input type="text" value="" name="D" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
<form action="" name="form2" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" name="A" />
<input type="text" value="" name="B" />
<input type="text" value="" name="C" />
<input type="text" value="" name="D" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
<form action="" name="form3" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" name="A" />
<input type="text" value="" name="B" />
<input type="text" value="" name="C" />
<input type="text" value="" name="D" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
Using a,b,c,d for the first form, e,f,g,h for the second form and i,j,k,l for the third form and submitting the second form yields the following output:
Array
(
[A] => e
[B] => f
[C] => g
[D] => h
[submitForm] => Submit Form
)

Actually its not hard.
Once you supply form names, your work is done. the DOM does the rest.
write one php block to do your functions (create/update/retrieve/delete)
Whichever button is clicked, by default it submits only the elements enclosed together with it.
if(!empty($_POST)){
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
print "<pre>";
var_dump($_POST); // write your code here as you would
print "<pre>";
}
}
try this with your form above.
I know this is an old post but here's how I solve this very problem.
All you need to do is make sure the submit buttons in each form have different names. Eg:
<form action="" name="form1" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm1" />
</form>
<form action="" name="form2" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm2" />
</form>
<form action="" name="form3" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="text" value="" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm3" />
</form>
Then, you simply check which form's submit button was pressed.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitForm1'])) {
echo('<script>alert("Form 1 Submitted")</script>');
} elseif (isset($_POST['submitForm2'])) {
echo('<script>alert("Form 2 Submitted")</script>');
} elseif (isset($_POST['submitForm3'])) {
echo('<script>alert("Form 3 Submitted")</script>');
}
?>
If you need dynamic forms, you may try below code. While statement can be changed to fetch data from DB and use foreach instead. Hope you know this.
Here, I used while($n<10) for 10 dynamic forms.
You can also use tag as below if you need separate form names.
<form action="" name="form<?=$n?>" method="post">
This will create separate form names such as form1, form2, etc but not necessary here.
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submitForm'])) {
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_POST);
echo '</pre>';
}
$n=0;
while($n<10) {
$n++;
?>
<form action="" name="form1" method="post">
<input type="text" value="" name="A" />
<input type="text" value="" name="B" />
<input type="text" value="" name="C" />
<input type="text" value="" name="D" />
<input type="Submit" value="Submit Form" name="submitForm" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
Sample page with output when I click row 5..
I have what should be a simple form to pass data to a php page. The form is:
<form action="php/setlist.php" method="post">
<input type="text" id="SetListName" />
<input type="hidden" id="newList" name="newList" value="" readonly="readonly" style="border: none;">
<input type="submit" style="width:150px;"><br /><br />
and the php is:
$SetListSave = $_REQUEST['newList'];
$SetListName= $_REQUEST['SetListName'];
echo $SetListName;
echo $SetListSave;
I am getting the newList from the form just fine but the SetListName isn't getting passed. I am a novice with php so I could be missing something basic here, but I am stumped.
You are missing name attribute in:
<input type="text" id="SetListName" />
Replace
<input type="text" id="SetListName" />
with
<input type="text" id="SetListName" name ="SetListName"/>
You need to have a 'name' attribute in the form for each input field that you want to read in PHP. So you're code should read:
<form action="php/setlist.php" method="post">
<input type="text" id="SetListName" name="SetListName"/>
<input type="hidden" id="newList" name="newList" value="" readonly="readonly" style="border: none;">
<input type="submit" style="width:150px;"><br /><br />
use
<input type="text" id="SetListName" name="SetListName" />
you have not used name attribute
