Here is my code:
<form action=\"index.php?m=".$mm."&y=".$y."\">
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"<\">
</form>
The variables $mm and $y are initialized and have a value.
But I am only getting redirected to:
index.php?
What did I do wrong?
Submitting a form with method="get" (the default) will replace any query string in the action with one generated by the form data.
Store your m and y values in <input type="hidden" …> elements instead.
That is because you need to echo the values of $mm and $y
<form action="index.php?m=<?php echo $mm;?>&y=<?php echo $y;?>">
<input type="submit" value="" />
</form>

I have a HTML form that acts as a "confirm deletion?" page and my "Back" button is playing up.
$string = "foo.php?id=" . $_POST['fooid'] . "&id2=" . $_POST['barid'];
<!-- ^^ this ends up being "foo.php?id=1&id2=2" -->
<form action='<?php echo $string; ?>'>
<input type='submit' value='Back'>
</form>
the problem is, when the button is pressed it links to foo.php without any of the $_GET data in my string, even though the string contains "id=1&id2=2"
P.S I changed the code above so people could better understand it, here is the raw code:
<?php
$string = "xrays.php?id=" . $_POST['visitid'] . "&id2=" . $_POST['patientid'];
?>
<form action='delete.php' method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='xrayid' value='<?php $_POST['xrayid']?>'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Confirm Delete?'>
</form>
<form action='<?php echo $string; ?>'>
<input type='submit' value='Back'>
</form>
Maybe it's not the best answer but I would like do something like that:
$string = "foo.php?id=" . $_POST['fooid'] . "&id2=" . $_POST['barid'];
<!-- ^^ this ends up being "foo.php?id=1&id2=2" -->
<form action='foo.php'>
<input type="hidden" name="fooid" value ="<php echo $_POST['fooid']; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="barid" value ="<php echo $_POST['barid']; ?>" />
<input type='submit' value='Back'>
</form>
This should work properly.
EDIT: change $_GET na $_POST
You need to put the get variable in the form hidden inputs, like so:
<form action='foo.php'>
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="id2" value="2" />
<input type='submit' value='Back'>
</form>
Or you could use a link:
Back
Let's start with form submission in general. W3C: Form Submission
Next, let's review $_GET and $_POST. PHP Manual: $_GET | PHP Manual: $_POST
In summary, inside of your <form> tag, use either method="get" or method="post". Only one of the superglobal arrays will be populated by successful controls, based upon your method of sending the data. I believe the query string must result from a GET request url (which may be the default), not just a plain string slapped into the action="" attribute. I could be wrong about the query string, but you have another problem. You are using two forms on one page. Presently, I think only one form's controls can be submitted successful at a time.
<form action='delete.php' method='post'> <!-- FORM 1 -->
<input type='hidden' name='xrayid' value='<?php $_POST['xrayid']?>'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Confirm Delete?'>
</form>
<form action='<?php echo $string; ?>'> <!-- FORM 2, add a method="" attribute -->
<input type='submit' value='Back'>
</form>
Upon adding a method="get" to form two, it should become clear that a composite $_POST + $_GET request is not possible in the two form approach, and that you need to start with making a single, monolithic form instead of two modular ones. Using the type="hidden" attribute of an <input /> tag, inside of one form, as in #machineaddict's answer, will help. However, what will really help is if you explicitly use all the correct attributes of each tag so that you can spot errors like this in the future.
In a situation like this, it is helpful to know that the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] element would hold the complete query string if your web server received one.
PHP Manual: $_SERVER
BEFORE hitting the submit button on a form, I need to send form variables and their values into a php serialized array (name=>value). And then upon post, I need to pass the array to a php function called modify($vararray). For example:
<form action = "someaction.php" method="post"/>
<input type="text" name="var1" id="var1" <br>
<input type="text" name="var2" id="var2" <br>
<?php
(DO SOMETHING HERE TO CREATE A PHP SERIALIZED ARRAY OF NAME=>VALUE INTO $VARARRAY OF ALL PREVIOUS INPUT VARIABLES ABOVE)
echo "input type=\"hidden\" name=\"modvar" id=\"modvar\" value=\"" . modify($vararray) . "\">\n";
?>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
Any suggestions?
You should use JQuery.serializeArray() for this here you can find an example:
URL: .serializeArray()
I hope this helps!
My question is how do I call input value of user selected which has show by php code from another php.
Normal simple way we get the input this way
$calendar_id_val = $_GET['calendar_id'];
and now it is not working:
For example Show.php, I have one form which show the values from Database and show the result with php variable with While Loop.
<input name="calendar_id" value="<?php echo $calendar_id;?>">
and when user is submit that form I will carry these user selected value and perform insert.php
While you are doing echo in the input use echo $calendar_id_val
You should use form like,
<form action="insert.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="calendar_id" value="<?php echo $calendar_id;?>"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit_id" value="Insert"/>
</form>
Insert.php
echo $calendar_id_val = $_GET['calendar_id'];
Does this answer your question?
<form action="insert.php" method="GET">
<input name="calendar_id" value="<?php echo $calendar_id;?>">
</form>
If you want to redirect the user back to show.php, add this to the end of your insert.php script
header('Location: show.php');
exit();
I suggest $_POST var like this:
<form action="insert.php" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="calendar_id" value="<?php echo $calendar_id;?>" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
insert.php file:
echo $calendar_id = $_POST['calendar_id'];
I have a simple registration form.
I want to pass value entered in one page to other in a text field.
how to pass and access it from next page in php.
this is my first php page.
Thanks in advance.
You can add hidden fields within HTML and access them in PHP:
<input type="hidden" name="myFieldName" value="someValue"/>
Then in PHP:
$val = $_POST['myFieldName'];
If you're going to ouput this again you should use htmlspecialchars or something similar to prevent injection attacks.
<input type="hidden" name="myFieldName" value="<?=htmlspecialchars($_POST['myFieldName']);?>"/>
Suppose this the form input in page A
<form name="" action="" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="myvalue" value="">
<input type=submit>
</form>
In page B
In the page you want to get values put this code
<?PHP
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value ) {
$$key=(stripslashes($value));
}
?>
<form name="" action="" method=post enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="myvalue" value="<?PHP echo $myvalue" ?>">
<input type=submit>
</form>
So yo can use or attach variable value to another form do what else you want to do
use following code, that should help you.
<form action ="formhandler.php" method ="POST" >
<input name = "inputfield" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
on formhandler.php file yo need to enter following code to get the value of inputfiled.
$inputfield = isset($_POST['inputfield'])?$_POST['inputfield']:"";
// now you can do what ever you want with $inputfield value
echo($inputfield);
I have the following form in my form.php file:
<form action="operation.php?part=dictionary&operation=<?php echo (($_GET['action']=='addword')?'save':'edit&id='.$_GET['id'])?>" method="get">
.....
....
</form>
And in my operation.php file:
if($_GET['operation']=='save'){
echo "This is true";
}else{
die(mysql_error());
}
And it shows the message that it does not recognize the operation parameter.
So if anyone have any idea of how to distinguish the operation between save and edit would be really appreciated. Thanks you
You can try using:
<form action="operation.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="part" value="dictionary">
<input type="hidden" name="operation" value="<?php echo (($_GET['action']=='addword')?'save':'edit&id='.$_GET['id'])?>">
</form>
Setting a form's method to "GET" results in ignoring all GET-parameter added to the action of the form. In order to get those parameter to work you will have to add them as hidden input fields otherwise you switch your form's method to "POST". This results in setting POST-parameter according to form fields and setting GET-parameter according to the link additions made at form's action.
You need to use hidden parameters to submit values to your form, like so:
<form action="operation.php" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="part" value="dictionary" />
<input type="hidden" name="operation" value="<?php echo (($_GET['action']=='addword')?'save':'edit&id='.$_GET['id'])?>" />
</form>
