I have the following code for my form, and it doesn't seem to work, the query does not insert after all the fields have been filled. I'll really appreciate it if someone can look at it and help me correct any mistake. The method for the form is post and the action is <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>. This is my first code in PHP so kind of new here Thanks.
<?php
$counter=1;
if (isset($_POST["post"])) {
$gender= $_POST['gender'];
$fname= $_POST['fname'];
$lname= $_POST['lname'];
$email= $_POST['email'];

Please show the form code, and be specific in the outcome of the form processing. What exactly didn't work?
In the mean time here are a couple of observations:
Instead of assigning each $_POST element at a time you can do this:
foreach ($_POST as $key=>$value) $$key = $value;
*$output_form* and *$is_error* always have the same value, why the duplication?

when I submit the form the page returns the script of index.php. When i refresh the page then the page shows the content of add_post.php and above all the data content of the form did not add to the database.
I don't know whats causing this problem and how to fix it.

Database:
table fields in administrator are: adminid,password,adminname,address,contactno
table fields in lectures are:
lecid,password,courseid,lecname,gender,address,contactno.
Please provide solution for this issue.
instead of using this code
if(md5($_POST["pwd"])=='$pwdmd5')
use this
if(md5($_POST["pwd"])==$pwdmd5)
In the first case, the hashed pasword is compared to the string $pwdmd5, in the second to the content of $pwdmd5
I've been building a site recently for a friend and I've gotten stuck on this one form. A button links to url in which this form is on and then once you fill out all the information and click submit, instead of returning you back to home.php it just removes the form from view and all you see is a blank new.php and it doesn't submit the information.

I have a php contact form which all works well with its validation etc, but I have one niggle with it. The original code which I have tweaked redirected the page to a new one with a thank you message on submission which I was unhappy with, so I've managed to get a thank you message to display on the original page, however the input form content still stays, i'd rather it didn't. Even better I'd like to be able to hide the form completely and replace it with a thank you.
I ought to mention that when completed it will be placed on a page with other items, so it is just the form that I'm after hiding, or clearing.
This is the code in the Header
<?php
$your_email ='email#example.com';
session_start();
$errors = '';
$name = '';
$company = '';
$visitor_email = '';
$phone = '';
$user_message = '';
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$company = $_POST['company'];
$visitor_email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$user_message = $_POST['message'];
///------------Do Validations-------------
if(empty($name)||empty($visitor_email))
{
$errors .= "\n Name and Email are required fields. ";
}
if(IsInjected($visitor_email))
{
$errors .= "\n Bad email value!";
}
if(empty($_SESSION['6_letters_code'] ) ||
strcasecmp($_SESSION['6_letters_code'], $_POST['6_letters_code']) != 0)
{
//Note: the captcha code is compared case insensitively.
//if you want case sensitive match, update the check above to
// strcmp()
$errors .= "\n The captcha code does not match!";
}
if(empty($errors))
{
//send the email
$to = $your_email;
$subject="New form submission";
$from = $your_email;
$ip = isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : '';
$body = "A user $name submitted the contact form:\n".
"Name: $name\n".
"Company: $company\n".
"Email: $visitor_email \n".
"Phone: $phone\n".
"Message: \n ".
"$user_message\n".
"IP: $ip\n";
$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);
//header('Location: #thanks');
$myForm = '< style="visibility: hidden;">';
$thankyou = file_get_contents("thank-you.html");
}
}
// Function to validate against any email injection attempts
function IsInjected($str)
{
$injections = array('(\n+)',
'(\r+)',
'(\t+)',
'(%0A+)',
'(%0D+)',
'(%08+)',
'(%09+)'
);
$inject = join('|', $injections);
$inject = "/$inject/i";
if(preg_match($inject,$str))
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

And this is the form itself minus a chunk of javascript validation which I didn't think was relevant to the question

I have tried a few methods I've found by searching but have fallen down mainly due to my basic knowledge of PHP.
Any help would be much appreciated.
<?php
if(!empty($errors)){
echo "<p class='err'>".nl2br($errors)."</p>";
}
?>
<div id="footer">
<div class="twelve-column-wrapper">
<div class="six-column-wrapper">
<div class="six-column">
<h3>Why not get in touch</h3>
</div>
<div id='contact_form_errorloc' class='err'></div>
<?php
if(!isset($_POST['submit'])):
?>
<form method="POST" name="contact_form"
action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>">
<div class="three-column">

That will hide the form. But that won't prevent you to be spammed. If you don't want to be spammed to have to track IPs and before submitting the email check that the IP didn't already send an email let's say in the last 30 seconds, for instance.
if(empty($_POST)){
//You form goes here;
}
else{
echo $thankyou;
}
Also you can have something like:
if(empty($thankyou)){
//You form goes here;
}
else{
echo $thankyou;
}
You can trigger this function onsubmit or onclick event on form
<script>
function hideform()
{
document.forms['contact_form'].style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
</script>
You could use jQuery to clear the form div on a successful submission.
$('#myform').submit(function(){
$('#formcontainer').empty;
});
Where myform and form container are the ids of your form and the div containing your form
You better create separate action file and for display thanks message use:
if(isset($_SESSION['msg'])){
echo $_SESSION['msg'];
}
else{
//display from here
}
