[PHP] Question: arrays and form elements
Generally, when I set up a form where, for example, I'll be taking multiple selections from a list I would set the variable / element name as myvar[]. So I have the brackets [] after the variable name to make it an array. What I want to know is there a way to get around the use of this syntax ? If the variable name was just myvar (no brackets) is there a way for me to still grab all the selections and put them into an array ? Hope this question is clear.

I think you are missing the point Jason was trying
to make, which is the
difference between '$Ind' and $Ind. If you look
again, you will see that
those are handled differently.
If you read the post Jason suggested I print out using
both single and double quotes.
Regardless that has very little to do with my
question.
Here is just another variation of my multiple select
list.
option value=?php echo
$rsinds-Fields('CareerIDs')??php if
($rsinds-Fields('CareerIDs')== 5) {echo SELECTED;}
??php echo
$rsinds-Fields('CareerCategories')?/option
Here I was just testing with a specific value.
the line == 5 will set the value SELECTED correctly.
If I put in 5, 6, or '5,','6', etc, I get an error.
However, I don't believe that line works for multiple
values. What works is still a mystery to me.

For heaven's sake, do you even know what the HTML
*should* look like? Did you
construct an example to look at? If you're unable to
construct your own
example just look at someone else's, go find a site
that has multi-select
listboxes with pre-selected values and examine the
HTML source.
heaven's sake ? bit over dramatic. The code above is
my created html. I've created a number of them, both
from a table and just listing out some options. To
repeat they all work . Yet all seem to have little in
common when the values are dynamic and from an array.

You tell me, print_r() and var_dump() it before you

One final thing: '$Ind' is not the same as $Ind.
If I choose 1, 2 , 3 then
print_r($Ind); returns

I could not find a difference with '$Ind', or $Ind,

Yes.
An array will print as Array
You'll need to dig into the Array for what you need,
or implode it, or
something.
I'm imploding the arrays and the correct values are
returned. Still this is what I'm struggling with:
If I put this querystring back into the url:
http://www.lurkingforwork.com/myownsearch.php?Ind[]=1JTitle=City=WinchesterDays=Recs=15Submit=Submit
The textfield City is repopulate with the value -
Winchester.
The select list Ind[] though is not.
I thought perhaps I need to do a loop for the Ind[]
value, so I tried this:
select name=Ind[] size=8 multiple=multiple
id=Ind[] value=?php foreach ($Ind as $value) {
echo $value;}?
I was wrong there as well.
Just to repeat. I want to take the query string
created from the user's choices / search parameters
and repopulate the form by applying the querystring on
the form. www.mysite.com/search?querystring.
Does this make sense ? Am I being clear in what I'm
asking ?

[PHP] Question: Repopulating form parameters
I'm hoping that this question will be more succinct.
I am trying to repopulate a search form with a user's
chosen paramters. I am running into a problem with
multiple select lists
First , this is the element when the form is first
presented to the user:
select name=Ind[] size=8 multiple=multiple
id=Ind[]
?php while($row = mysql_fetch_array($inds,
YSQL_BOTH)) { echo 'option
value='.$row['CareerIDs'].''.$row['CareerCategories'].'/option';
}
?
So the element's option are taken from a table.
Now I am grabbing the array and can print out the
chosen values correctly, either using an implode:
if (count($Ind) 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$Ind = '.implode(',', $Ind).';
}
or a for loop:
if (isset($Ind)) {
$j = count($Ind);
for($i=0; $i$j; $i++)
print_r($Ind[$i]);
}
What I can't do is getting the options that were
chosen to be highlighted in the select list.
i.e if there are 5 options for user to choose from:
1-Banking 2-Arts 3-I.T. 4-Accounting 5-Retail
And user chooses 1-Banking and 5-Retail, when I
reapply the query string I want those 2 to be
highlighed in the options list.
It is working fine for textfield.
?Ind%5B%5D=1Ind%5B%5D=2JTitle=City=BronxDays=Recs=15Submit=Submit
If I apply the above query string, Bronx will be
populated in the Citytextfield
Not so, with the Ind[] array.
Anyone know what I am talking about ?

I'm working through this logically, however logic equates in my universe. Tracking the variables is meaningless right now since I haven't set them up in the search form, outside of naming the form elements. When they get passed to the next page (results) they exist I've printed out the arrays, the (SERVER(QUERY_STRING), the resultset, and the array that is formed from exploding and imploding said QueryString. Where I now have done is added this code block into the search page: ?php $queryString = ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); $Ind = $_POST['Ind']; $State = $_POST['State']; $TType = $_POST['TType']; $JTitle = $_POST['JTitle']; $City = $_POST['City']; $Days = $_POST['Days']; $Recs = $_POST['Recs']; ? It is not complete obviously. I'm working along the lines of parsing the query string, and getting the elements into the correct variables. I imagine that is only one way of accomplishing the task. Once the string values are parsed into the variables I can then echo out the values in each form element, aka: select name=Days id=Days title=?php echo((isset($_POST[Days]))?$_POST[Days]:) ? Currently to test and work through all of this I have the search page set to action. The QueryString though does return the correct values. I'm sure none of this makes sense.

In my search page, the url returned comes back with
the ..err I forget what it's called, but query string
looks like this: %5B%5D=3. I think the %5B and 5D
should be [].
What I think is needed is rawurldecode. I've looked
through my code and think it belongs somewhere in this
block:
$queryString_rsVJ = ;
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$params = explode(, $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$newParams = array();
foreach ($params as $param) {
if (stristr($param, pageNum_rsVJ) == false
stristr($param, totalRows_rsVJ) == false) {
array_push($newParams, $param);
}
}
if (count($newParams) != 0) {
$queryString_rsVJ = .
htmlentities(implode(, $newParams));
}
}
would doing something like this make sense?:
$queryString_rsVJ = .
htmlentities(rawurldecode(implode(, $newParams)));
Feedback appreciated.

The first search / results form (the one that works): a: is really proprietary code which is why I want to dump it b: It was created as one page and then I broke the grid(results) portion off, so: c: In the new scripts the search and results were created seperately and most of the code is in the results page. What I'm saying is in the search form, all that exists is the form elements themselves and some resultsets that feed the multi select lists and menu drop downs. The results page, has the resultset for formulating the return records, but it also has the query string code that grabs the parameters explodes and implodes them. I'm wondering if perhaps I need some of this code in the search page. I wouldn't be throwing this out again, as the scripts work, but it's that I need to get the query string back into the search form and have it display the parameters there. I don't even know if that is a standard function of search pages. I've done some googling but have not come up with something that addresses this type of functionality.

[PHP] Variables from database
I haven't try this yet but wondering if it's possible. Can I do something like this: select fieldone from table ; $myvar = $fieldone ? And more so could I do it with a where clause ? i.e. select fieldone from table where fieldone = 3 $myvar = $fieldone ? This is probably a stupid question. I am also wondering about syntax.

[PHP] Differences in arrays
I have arrays set up in a user form. One type is from
a multi-select list. (I'm passing these through a
multi page form as session variables)
The multi select list array code is like this:
To $_POST (going on to next page)I have this:
$_SESSION['industry'] = $_POST['L_Industry'];
Then in the final page where the database insert takes
place:
if ( is_array($_SESSION['industry'] ) ) {
foreach ($_SESSION['industry'] as $p ) {
$query = INSERT INTO Prof_Industries (ProfID, IndID)
VALUES ('$LID', '$p');
$res4 = run_query($query);
This seems to work just fine as the printout(echo) :
INSERT INTO Prof_Industries (ProfID, IndID) VALUES
('118', '1')
NOW here is the problem:
I have 3 textfield elements all named school[]
To post those:
$_SESSION['schools'] = $_POST['school'];
Then in preparation for insert:
if ( is_array($_SESSION['schools'] ) ) {
foreach($_SESSION['schools'] as $h) {
$query = INSERT INTO Prof_Schools (ProfID, School)
VALUES ('$LID', '$h');
$res6 = run_query($query);
echo $query;
}
}
But here is the problem, it seems if the user didn't
input on all 3 textfields the query fails, because the
array is printing out like this:
INSERT INTO Profiles_Schools (ProfID, School)
VALUES ('118', 'Baruch')
INSERT INTO Profiles_Schools (ProfID, School)
VALUES ('118', '')
INSERT INTO Profiles_Schools (ProfID, School) VALUES
('118', '')
So you see there is no value for 2 and 3 as the user
didn't input. But the array moves through the
elements anyway as the ProfID is assigned in the
query.
1-I guess I need a way to make sure in the foreach
that when the first empty element is reached the loop
dies.
2- Why would the second array behave differently then
the first ?

[PHP] How to $_POST from a grid
I have set up a record grid, where the user may see a list of their records. Repeat region, etc. There is a button next to each record the user may click to allow them to update the particular record. This all worked fine with $_GET where I did a link on the button to send the PrimaryID over. Now I'm attempting to use $_POST and not having the same success. I moved the grid into a form and have a submit button now for the update button. Since the grid only is echos of the recordset fields, how does it know the correct PrimaryID to send when I hit the submit button. I'm thinking this is perhaps my problem.

I placed the hidden field in the row with the repeat region on it. Named it the same as I did using the $_GET.

Both the php and HTML. -- I'm preferring not to post the code solely becasue I don't want to expose all my database fields here. Of course this may cost me the help I need. I'm doing my development in Dreamweaver though the code is basic. To get to the grid I'm passing over the userID . Then basic a select statement in the results grid with a while loop the returns all the records related to the userID. It's just odd - because in Dreamweaver I build the grid with one table row, place my echo fieldx in each cell, then create a repeat region around the row. The repeat region is the while loop. The behaviour though is different for whatever reason. Using a link with GET (paramter in the URL) it distinguishes each primaryID correctly. Yet with POST no.

Not sure what context would be useful. The form

When you're building a query string then (in

urlencode(), this is done on the

And about this: $_POST[Ind[]], it's obvious you
haven't absorbed what I
said about this particular construct. Please re-read
my previous post
regarding this and try to understand it.
If the URL on the searchpage was constructed
properly then on
searchresults.php the values passed can be read from
$_GET directly with no
further processing (ie no need for urldecode() and
other such nonsese) on
your part. But remember, you still need to validate
the data you get from
$_GET (and in general from $_POST etc) before you
use them.
Sorry, for some reason my email is out of synch today.
First the searchresults.php is reading the values
properly. The queries are running correct-all fields.
I'm still printing out the sql statement and those
are without the hex values.
The method is $_GET , search.php is nothing more then
some form elements and fields.
For searchresults.php (right below) is the way I'm
grabbing everything:
$HTTP_GET_VARS['Ind'];
// check any item is selected
if (count($Ind) 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$s_Ind = '.implode(',', $Ind).';
}
$HTTP_GET_VARS['State'];
// check any item is selected
if (count($State) 0 AND is_array($State)) {
$s_State = '.implode(',', $State).';
}
$HTTP_GET_VARS['TType'];
// check any item is selected
if (count($TType) 0 AND is_array($TType)) {
$s_TType = '.implode(',', $TType).';
}
//Textfields / Dropdown
$HTTP_GET_VARS['JTitle'];
$HTTP_GET_VARS['City'];
$HTTP_GET_VARS['Days'];
I'm not seeing what is incorrect. I did try
$HTTP_GET_VARS['Ind'] = urldecode('Ind'); (in
searchresults.php) but of course it wasn't imploded
yet. I don't want to confuse this question or myself

[PHP] Database search logic question
For those who recognize this topic from me and perhaps are sick of it , my apologies :) This is actually a different question more about logic then syntax or functionality. One of the uses of my search form is that users may save their search parameters. Typical benefits, they don't have to re-enter all the criteria. Hitting one link or receiving an email can get them the results they need. The way I was approaching this was to grab the url, the part after the ? , so not the referer. Whatever the second part is called. Only now that I've created a search and results page via Post method, of course there is nothing going to the URL. I'm wondering at this point if I should create a way to let users save their search parameters, by grabbing the variables and storing them as an array in the database or go back to the URL method.

}
$sql = SELECT PostStart, JobTitle, Industry,

Hi Stuart
Not sure what's happening with the $Ind variable,
maybe check the $_POST
array as you enter the script to ensure that the

correctly. It is almost as if you are appending it
to itself at some point.
You don't have a line like this anywhere do you :
$Ind[] = $Ind; OR maybe 2
of: $Ind[] = $_POST['Ind']; ??
Part of the problem is with the implode statement.
It is this that is not
adding the initial and final ' to your IN statement,
see below:
if (count($Ind) 0)
{
$IndStr = implode(',', $Ind);
$where[] = VendorJobs.Industry IN('$IndStr');
^---^
}else{
$where[] = VendorJobs.Industry = {$Ind[0]};
}
I would also remove this line:
$Ind[] = ;

I think it's working , at least I get results now with
no error messages. Still some work to go on the
script. Here is the current initializatin and sql
code:
$Ind = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Ind'];
if (count($Ind) 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$s_Ind = '.implode(',', $Ind).';
}
I guess here I should put this in braces as it should
be conditional if $Ind is set, if not the subsequent
sql statement shouldn't go in.
if ($Ind)
$sql .= WHERE VendorJobs.Industry IN ($s_Ind);

Sebastian, I meant to thank you for this code the

are arrays themselves. So for example I have this :
$Ind = ;
$Ind = $HTTP_POST_VARS['Ind'];
if (count($Ind) 0 AND is_array($Ind)) {
$Ind = '.implode(',', $Ind).';

So how would this code , or array get into what you
stated as:
$where = array();
if ( isset($_POST['Ind']) ) {
$where[] = 'vendorjobs.Industry = ' . (int)
$_POST['Ind'];
}
I guess that is putting an array into an array ?
Not quite sure how the loop would go.

$totalRows_inds = mysql_num_rows($inds);

//Here is the element and the php to loop it

do {

$rows = mysql_num_rows($inds);
if($rows 0) {

When I load the page it is blank.

[PHP] Help: Database Search
I am creating a database search form and results.
Running into a problem though.
I have two form elements, both that are fed by tables
that have int values (1, 2 , etc)
my sql statement is such:
SELECT vendorjobs.PostStart, vendorjobs.JobTitle,
vendorjobs.Industry, vendorjobs.VendorID,
vendorjobs.LocationCity, vendorjobs.TaxTerm FROM
vendorjobs WHERE vendorjobs.Industry = '$Ind' AND
Date_Sub(Curdate(), interval '$Days' day) = PostStart
But if the user decides to only use one of the
elements, then I don't want the query to return
nothing because of the And in the where clause so I
have these 2 statements that set a default value
(shown here as 0 in the event one of the two elements
aren't selected: (Having no luck as the form still
only works correctly if I've set both elements)
$Ind = 0;
if (isset($_POST['Ind'])) {
$Ind = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['Ind'] :
addslashes($_POST['Ind']);
}
$Days = 0;
if (isset($_POST['Days'])) {
$Days = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_POST['Days'] :
addslashes($_POST['Days']);

[PHP] Questions about mysql_real_escape_string and addslashes
First I'm a bit unsure , because in the manual it states that you must use mysql_real_escape_string on binary data. So first question, what constitutues binary data, a file or just an integer? Second question - Since magic_quote_gpc is enabled on my server (and I have no choice) - I gather I must use addslashes() 3rd- Some of the user input translates to an int value where I later do a join for the actual label. I believe those fields are protected naturally since the database won't accept anything but an int. 4th - With both of these functions it looks like they become part of the sql query. I could use some help in understanding how to set up variables using both functions. In otherwords, an example of how they get coded.

[PHP] Initializing variables
I'm reading PHP security paper by Chris Shiflett. Trying to figure out what is meant by first initializing a variable. Now, just for the record, I'm not completely dumb. I know you can start with a $var = 2 What I want to know is if the variable assignment is unknown, as in a user form. Would I then just initialize the variables to 0 ?

[PHP] Lost session variables still confounding me
I think I've tried just about everything that I found
googling. Still no luck. I'm throwing this out again,
with the chance that something missed before maybe
noticed.
Page 1:
//Start the Session - begin Block
@session_start();
form method=POST name=form1 action=Page2.php
input name=ListingName type=text id=ListingName
/
Page 2:
//Start the Session - begin Block
@session_start();
//Set the session variable, input on Page 1
$_SESSION['f1a'] = $_POST['ListingName'];
Page 3:
//ON this page, I check that f1a still exist using an
echo - generally it does unless :
//Start the Session - begin Block
@session_start();
if (count($myarray) 5) {
$_SESSION['arrayerr'] = you have selected too many
industries;
header (Location: Page2.php);
exit;
}
If the validation above passes, no problem. But if it
doesn't, once it redirects, the session variable , f1a
is bye bye.
I've tried passing the session_id, session_name, i've
printed out both to make sure they remain the same.
I' ve done relative and absolute paths.
Searching for this problem , it seems I'm not the only
one who has suffered with this issue. Some was prior
php 4.3 when session_write_close was needed. I've
thrown that in as well.
I just don't get it.

--- Richard Davey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Unless I'm mistaken - you are redirecting back to Page 2 upon an error, right? Well according to the code posted, the second you hit Page 2 again, you are over-writing whatever is in the f1a session variable with the contents of the $_POST var, which naturally will not exist, hence you'll blank it out every single time. Your not mistaken. That is what's happening. I just don't know how to fix it . Stuart -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Before setting the session value in Page 2, check
for the existence of
the $_POST value first.
if (isset($_POST['var']))
{
$_SESSION['var'] = $_POST['var'];
}
When you now redirect to Page 2 upon an error, it'll
skip this block
because the $_POST var won't exist.
I'm a bit confused, this fixes the problem ?

Suppose Richard means:
If (isset($_POST['ListingName'])) {
$_SESSION['f1a'] = $_POST['ListingName'];
}
Right, I've tried all three variations , none of
which, I'm sorry to report, have helped.
The variable is alive with any of the code including
the one I had originally. It seems to do a reset
though when it's redirected. I've even tried:
Page3:
if (count($LurkerIndustry) 5) {
$_SESSION['arrayerr'] = you have selected too many
industries;
$_SESSION['f1a'] = $_POST['ListingName'];
header (Location: TestMulti2.php);
exit;
}
Thinking that by sending the variable back to page 2
it would hold. The error variable takes.

--- Reinhart Viane [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, if I understand correct, even with the isset code on the second page $_SESSION['f1a'] is set to empty? That's strange. Still I wonder why you are inputting the error messages and the redirect in a session variable. Yes, the isset is not working. It probably isn't necessary anyone since I've got a validate / required field set. I'm not sending the redirect in a session variable. Only the error message. That is the way I know how to do it.

Well, that's even worse -- because page3 can *never*
be reached as the
result of submitting a form, its $_POST[] will
*always* be empty -- so this
assignment is also bound to set $_SESSION['f1a'] to
NULL.
Mike, I'll heed your advice, since you haven't let me
down before :). But the variable lasts , I echo it on
every page, including page6 where it's transacted into
the database. I'm not sure why you say that

Try sticking this on Page 2 (ensure you have a

Run it - make it error - what does it end up saying?
Before the redirect:
POST value found, setting the session var now
After the redirect:
No POST value found, dumping session contentsArray (
[xx_user_xxx] = username [xx_id_xxx] = 47
[xx_level_xxx] = BasicUser [f1a] = [WAVT_TestMulti2]
= [f1b] = [f1c] = [f1d] = [f1e] = [f1g] =
[inder] = you have selected too many industries )
