I have a webpage with a form has 3 parameters, like
http://www.likeforex.com/currency-converter/fxconverter.php?f=euro-eur&t=usd-us-dollar&amt=1
I used .htaccess to rewrite the page to: f_t.htm/amt as:
http://www.likeforex.com/currency-converter/euro-eur_usd-us-dollar.htm/1
However, my question is when user change the value of amt(middle of the page), then the form is re-sumbited, and the re-sumbited page is still in parameter format. How to make the url in after rewrite format?
Anything wrong with the submit button, or anything else?
the form:
<form name="e" method="get" action="fxconverter.php">
the amt parameter:
<input type="text" id="amt" name="amt" size="16" maxlength="16" value="'.$amt.'" onclick="this.focus();this.select();" />'
the submit button:
<input type="submit" value="Convert" class="bt" />
the .htaccess line:
RewriteRule ^(.*)_([^_]+)\.htm/([^/]+)$ fxconverter.php?f=$1&t=$2&amt=$3 [NC]
Thank you very very much.
You cant use a form, regardless of POST/GET and expect the parameters to output like a url eg http://www.likeforex.com/currency-converter/euro-eur_usd-us-dollar.htm/1
What you need todo is change the form slightly and use javascript to build the url and then redirect.
<script>
function goForm(form){
f = form.elements["f"].value;
t = form.elements["t"].value;
amt = form.elements["amt"].value;
window.location.href = 'http://www.likeforex.com/currency-converter/'+f+'_'+t+'.htm/'+amt;
}
</script>
<form name="currencyForm" method="GET" action="">
<input id="f" name="f" value="euro-eur" type="hidden">
<input id="t" name="t" value="usd-us-dollar" type="hidden">
<input id="amt" name="amt" size="16" maxlength="16" value="1" onclick="this.focus();this.select();" type="text">
<input type="button" name="button" value="Click" onClick="goForm(this.form)">
</form>
Then you can take advantage of the mod_rewrite.
Tho personally I would scrap the GET(for the fancy url) and just use POST. search engines wont query your form so there is no advantage in using GET only that it may make it easier for someone thinking to scrape your content to digest its workings. Also remember anyone without javascript enabled wont be able to use the form with my solution.

I am trying to pass three parameters from one php file to another. Two of those parameters are in variables that are already determined long before the button is clicked to call the second php file, but one will be taken from a text box at the time the button is clicked.
So far I have the following (snippet) in the first php file. The two parameters that are in the existing variables show up in the URL just fine, but I can't figure out how to get the student number to be included. The URL just has "studentNumber=?&club=..."
Thanks!
<input type="text" id="studentNum" placeholder="Student Number">
<input type="button" value="Add Student" onclick="window.location = '<?php $url = 'http://npapps.peelschools.org/editor/add.php?studentNumber='.$_GET["StudentNum"].'&club='.$club.'&type='.$type.''; echo $url;?>'" />
Is it really necessary to use window.location? I would encourage you to use something like this
function doSubmit() {
document.getElementById("myformid").submit();
}
<form id="myformid" action="receivingPHP.php" method="POST">
<input id="studentnr" type="text" value="42" />
<button onclick="doSubmit()">Send</button>
</form>
Of course there is no receivingPHP.php file on the StackOverflow servers, so if you try this script you will reach a white page (close it in the top right corner where it says close)
If you use $_GET["StudentNum"], it must come from an HTML-form or a html-link:
example
or
<form method="GET"><input name="StudentNum" value="1337"></form>
Good luck
The URL of your current page needs to have had studentNum present as a query parameter to be able to use $_GET. For example, if current page URL =
http://npapps.peelschools.org/myotherpage.php?studentNum=100
then you can $_GET["studentNum"]. Also, if you are accessing this URL via ajax
http://npapps.peelschools.org/myotherpage.php
then it must be passed as a data parameter.
Find out what the URL of the page is where you have the HTML that you have shown, and if studentNum has not been passed as a query parameter or data parameter from however you get there (e.g. an anchor tag href) then add that parameter to the URL.
Ended up reworking it so that all the information was sent in a form rather than trying to embed it in a button. The secret came from w3schools where I figured out how to hide the known parameters in a hidden input element in the form, as follows:
<form action="add.php" method="GET">
<input name="studentNo" type="text" placeholder="Student Number" />
<input name="club" type="hidden" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($club); ?>" />
<input name="type" type="hidden" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($type); ?>" />
<input type="submit" value="Add Student" />
</form>
This form submits url like that
http://www.website.com/page/search.php?search=demo&submit=Search
<form action="search.php?search=" method="GET" id="search-form">
<input id="search-text" name="search" type="text" maxlength="30" placeholder="type keyword"/>
<button type="submit" name="submit" value="Search" id="search-button">Search</button>
</form>
Where I want to post the form like that:
http://www.website.com/page/search/demo.html
How can I do this?
I know it is a small thing but help me..
Thanks
I am unclear what your question is.
If you mean that you want to be able to process the input client-side, that is not possible unless you override the behavior with javascript. For example with jQuery
$( "search-form" ).on( "submit", function( event ) {
// Do stuff here with the form data
event.preventDefault();
});
If you mean that you don't want .php to show up and want to hide the underlying server technology, then you can use something like Apache's mod_rewrite. But you probably don't want that in this case because .html implies that it's a page you visit (GET, not POST) rather than a script you submit variables to.
Save this code as form.html on your desktop then open it with your browser then add some values and click the button. Look at the url afterwards
<form method="get" action="#">
<input type="text" name="input1">
<input type="text" name="input2">
<input type="text" name="input3">
<input type="text" name="input4">
<button type="submit">Click me and look at the url</button>
</form>
After seeing your edited question, try this with the above steps( save on the desktop etc.etc)
<form method="post" onsubmit="this.action=window.location.href.replace('.html',inputurl )">
<input type="text" name="input1" onblur="inputurl='/'+this.value+'.html'">
<button type="submit">Click me and look at the url</button>
</form>
I have very simple form (the file is called message.php):
<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>
<form method="post" target="_top" action="<?php echo CANVAS_URL;?>message.php">
<input type="text" name="your_name" />
<input type="hidden" name="signed_request" value="<?php echo $_REQUEST['signed_request'];?>" />
<input type="submit" name="send" />
</form>
I found one solution of this issue - put into the form hidden input with the signed_request - I did it but unfortunately I am still facing with this problem -- I cannot retrieve sent POST data.
If I change the method to method="get", everything is working well, but I would need to data from POST.
Could anyone help me, how to solve this problem? Thanks!
Try this. I don't believe you need to use target in FB canvas aps anymore. Also a form ID would be good.
<form method="POST" id="my_form" action="message.php">
<input type="text" name="your_name" />
<input type="hidden" value="<?php print $_POST["signed_request"] ?>" name="signed_request" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
POSTing to Canvas URLs (as in http://apps.facebook.com/namespace) is simply not supported.
But why post to the top window instead of simply staying within the iframe? It's way better as it doesn't require the entire page to be reloaded, only the iframe.
I have an
<input type=text name=search />
and I wanted to add the value of input to my href
<a href='index.php?search=$search>submit</a>
But I think that won't work on php alone right?
How can I add the value of my input to my href as it clicks?
NOTE: need to appear in the browser url menu this way
index.php?search=anyvalue
as soon as they click it. because I'm using pagination
Straight HTML - no PHP or JavaScript Needed
<form action="index.php" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search" />
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
Once clicked it will take the user to: index.php?search={value of input}
For pagination to work it would be:
Page 2
Page 3
try this:
<form method="get" action="index.php">
<input name="search" type="text" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
If that's not what your looking for just elaborate a bit on what you are trying to achieve.
you must open a php tag like this:
<a href='index.php?search=<?php echo $search;?>' >submit</a>
but it work after submitting the form.
use javascript
So say I'm currently on index.php or index.php?p=about within my current web build.
I am trying to build a search form that will be displayed on most pages, but I want the form action to go to http://mywebsiteurl.com/?p=search&q=GETDATA, as my website's paging depends on the data passed to the 'p' attribute.
How would I append the search parameter to the URL in a static fashion, upon submission?
Perhaps something like this:
<form method="get" action="index.php">
<input type="hidden" name="p" value="search" />
<input type="text" name="q" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="search" />
</form>
You can use a hidden field in your form to maintain the value of the p parameter:
<input type="hidden"
name="p"
value="<?= htmlentities($_GET['p'], ENT_QUOTES) ?>" />
You should put the value of the parameter p inside a hidden form field inside the search form; something like:
<input type="hidden"
name="p"
value="<?php echo(htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST["p"])); ?>" />
It's not a good idea to put the parameter to the form action parameter; post requests are handled differently than GET requests, the values in a POST request aren't appended to the URL by ? and & as with GET; meaning that you wouldn't actually get the p parameter into the script handling the POST request from the form...
Also take care not to show the request parameter unreflected (hence the htmlspecialchars, thanks for the hint!), since malicious clients could try to inject code into your page (HTML injection / XSS).
