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']); }?>" />

<form action="" method="post">
<?php
$abc = 10;
for($key=1;$key<=30;$key++)
{
?>
<input type="hidden" name="hidden_id" value="<?php echo $key;?>" />
<textarea name="vids" rows="4" cols="50"><?php echo $abc; ?> </textarea>
<?php
$abc++;
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="abc" />
</form>
The above code is returning only the last value of the textarea and hidden field.
I want to get the the hidden field value for the textarea updated along with the updated value of the textarea.
Please help me with the solution.
First you have to change name="hidden_id" to name="hidden_id[]" and name="vids" to name="vids[]" . Then them can hold multiple values. When you submit the form hidden_id[], vids[] will return arrays. Therefor you have to loop them for access one by one.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['abc'])){
// $_POST['hidden_id'] return as a array
if(!empty($_POST['hidden_id'])){
foreach ($_POST['hidden_id'] as $id) {
echo $id;
}
}
// access textarea values
if(!empty($_POST['vids'])){
foreach ($_POST['vids'] as $text) {
echo $text;
}
}
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<?php
$abc = 10;
for($key=1;$key<=30;$key++)
{
?>
<input type="hidden" name="hidden_id[]" value="<?php echo $key;?>" />
<textarea name="vids[]" rows="4" cols="50"><?php echo $abc; ?></textarea>
<?php
$abc++;
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="abc" value="submit" />
</form>
the problem lies on the input's name which are name="hidden_id" and name="vids".
You should change them into name="hidden_id[]" and name="vids[]" in order for them to hold multiple values. Please see the code below
<input type="hidden" name="hidden_id" value="<?php echo $key;?>"/>
<textarea name="vids" rows="4" cols="50"><?php echo $abc; ?></textarea>

thanks all and sorry for my poor english
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 $_POST['name'] method.
I have two text boxes and one button. I want when i will type any value in 1st textbox and click on a button the value which i'll type in 1st text box should be the value of 2nd text box. And i was using this code. Can some one help me on this?
<?php
if(isset($_POST['sum']))
{
$v1=$_POST['abc'];
if($v1=="vivek")
{
echo "welcome Mr.".$v1;
}
else
{
echo "Unauthorised User Mr. ".$v1;
}
}
?>
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="">
<p>Name:     
<input type="text" name="abc" value=""/>  
</br></br>
Passed Value: <input type="text" name="xyz" value="<?php echo $v1;?>"/>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="sum" value=" Submit "/>
</p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
try this one.
<form method="post" action="">
<p>Name:     
<input type="text" name="abc" value=""/>  
</br></br>
Passed Value: <input type="text" name="xyz" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['abc'])) { echo $_POST['abc']; } ?>"/>
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" name="sum" value=" Submit "/>
</p>
</form>
Passed Value:
<input type="text" name="xyz" value="<?php
if(isset($_POST['abc']))
echo htmlentities($_POST['abc'],ENT_QUOTES);
?>"/>
This should do it :)
Try this code.
<script type="text/javascript">
function sub() {
document.getElementById('xyz').value = document.getElementById('abc').value;
}
</script>
<form>
<label>Amonut</label>
<input type="text" name="abc" onkeyup="sub();" id="abc" />
<br /><br />
<label>Discount</label>
<input type="text" name="xyz" id="xyz" />
<input type="submit" name="sum" value=" Submit "/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function sub() {
document.getElementById('xyz').value = document.getElementById('abc').value;
}
</script>
<form onsubmit="sub();">
<label>Amonut</label>
<input type="text" name="abc" id="abc" />
<br /><br />
<label>Discount</label>
<input type="text" name="xyz" id="xyz" />
<input type="submit" name="sum" value=" Submit "/>
</form>
I think you want this.
Try this code
$v1='';
if(isset($_POST['sum']))
{
if($v1=="vivek")
{
echo "welcome Mr.".$v1;
$v1=$_POST['abc'];
}
else
{
echo "Unauthorised User Mr. ".$v1;
}
}
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.
