I have a script that runs a PHP MySQL query with information gathered via a form. The query works fine but the weird thing is that it wont update the search variables if someone refreshes and enters new input into the form.
I can actually see the correct variables in the URL but they are just not being repeated in the query.
The really odd thing is if I go and edit the snippet in the ModX back end - even if its just adding a comment - save it and refresh the page it works until I try a new search again.
Would anyone know whats happening here?
Is your form snippet cached? You'll need it uncached to have it run fresh every time:
[[!snippet]]
That goes for any placeholders too:
[[!+placeholder]]

I'm having a problem trying to submit the form automatically using php-webdriver client, everything went fine until one day my script was no longer able to submit the form. The process of filling form is really simple:
I have my fields that I want to populate in that form and click submit button with attribute name="submit". Everything worked fine but now the same code somehow doesn't cut it.
$input = $this->driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::name('first_name'));
$input->sendKeys('Example');
$submit = $this->driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::name('submit'));
$submit->click();
This is pretty much what my script does it finds a few fields and sends some values after that I simply click the submit button. After the submission, I checked what response I get using getPageSource() method, and surprisingly it showed me different page, but in the right circumstances it should be on the same page. If I delete every line of code that uses sendKeys() method then it stays on the same page which is the correct behavior. But I'm not understanding why sendKeys in combination with $submit->click() causes something like 'redirect' it redirects to index page which is initial website page and it used to work correctly, I checked everything many times and it looks that I provide all required fields correctly and able to submit the form. But instead of successful form submission response, I see that I'm on the index page.
Maybe there are known issues with this but I'm just not aware of it? Some advice, ways of how could I debug it would be really helpful because now I'm clueless, there's simply no indication of what went wrong.
I'm trying to learn PHP, and to do so im trying to create a code to register new products, i've made an loggin access where the person to do so needs to be connected, so inside of the cpanel I did differents sections, like add client, add product...
So i did an index in the _cpanel folde where i have my main html and to not repeat the same html i put an include inside this index so i can call others php files inside.
I dont know if its correctly to do like this BUT, as i said Im new at programming..
But everything works pretty good, until i need to call my post in my url..
like.. to add a new product i need to go to :
localhost -> connect... to go to localhost/_cpanel
if i click in add a new produt, i go to localhost/_cpanel/?page=folder/addnewproduct.php
and inside this php file i put a form with an action="?go=addnewproduct"
so, i did everything to put all the info in my db, but when i submit it goes to
localhost/_cpanel/?go=addnewproduct and nothing happens..
i tried to change the action like action="folder/?page=addnewproduct.php&?go=addnewproduct" but it doesnt work either.
BUT i made it works changing to action"folder/addnewproduct.php?go=newproduct
but to do so i need to go to "addnewproduct.php", and this page only is an included page inside my index..
i could call back to the index page after adding a new product, so that it doesnt show this page only, but when posting it loads fast to the page and after than it go back to my _cpanel.
i tried to find solutions but, didnt find... i think its just a problem with the way i put it in my action, maybe theres a way to do it and i dont know it yet.
I don't think I get what you're wanting exactly, but here you go:
If you're trying to redirect the request, you may just use the header function as follows:
header('Location: target/url.php');
If you want to make a external post request with php, you may use curl, as suggested here:
PHP + curl, HTTP POST sample code?
I have a search forum that takes a users input and checks it against a MySQL database. Every thing works great unless I move to the second page of the search results at that point all the forum data erases. I tried to do make it work with $PHP_SELF and <a> to no avail. Code below. Thank you in advance.
$second_prev
Is there any way to refresh the data after I click the submit button? Currently as I click the submit button on my PHP page, there are changes to the database. But, I will have to refresh the page itself to see the updated result, which I think it is quite incompetent.
To add on, what I am doing is on a table form. So example,
1) 14 Dogs.
So after i edit 14 dogs to 13 dogs and submit, the changes are successful as seen in the database, but the value won't change unless I refresh the page. Thank you all.
Additional Info:
I'm using XAMPP, Microsoft Access.
in your script, instead of
code that outputs data from database
code that updates database
do
code that updates database
code that outputs data from database
I just changed the order. Hopefully its obvious why.
im assuming youre using a regular form, no ajax or frames.
I have a form which sends data to a proccess page. Is it possible when the code in the process page is executed for the browser to jump back to the previous page?
EDIT
The reason i want this, is because i have a set of parameters which contains checkboxes. These parameters are echoed out via a while loop. I have a table where it shows which of those parameters are active. I would like to check the checkboxes by defualt where the corresponding parameter is in the table.
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Example ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
PARAMETERS:
T-Shirt: checked
Distance: checked
Race: unchecked
TABLE (parameters)
• T-Shirt
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||the example above checks the box if it already exists in the parameters table. When the user clicks back after the process page, the boxes he selected is checked.
Hope i am clear enough

I think a nice solution might be to implement a front controller for your webbage, a central script to include the appropirate page. Using a system like that, the user stays on the same page all the time even when other pages are loaded.
I haven't used a front controller in quite some time, so I won't write examples due to potential errors and poor coding. You can probably find some examples using google though, I wouldn't be surprised if the subject has been brought up here on Stackoverflow before either.
Even though I'll have to point out Griffin's solution is the best, if you're dead set on a redirect, simply have your PHP script execute the following lines:
echo '<script>document.history.go(-1);</script>';
die();
Or even
die('<script>document.history.go(-1);</script>');
It's a dirty solution, so I must advise against it.
