Re: [PHP] html forms and php
Philippe,
I recommend using an ID, instead of the NAME attribute to refer to the
various elements. This ought to solve your problem.

Greetings all,
Currently I have a form that has two lists that contain options.
I use javacript to dynamically move options from one select list to
another.
All this works fine...
this is the select:
select name=trucklist size=12 style=width: 150px multiple
option value=LT680LT680/option
option value=LT685LT685/option
option value=LT690LT690/option
option value=LT695LT695/option
option value=LT700LT700/option
option value=LT705LT705/option
/select
Now I wish to post all the options from one list to another page. So
I select all the options in that list and hit the submit button.
Obviously, a select list, will return each value with the same name to
the second web page. Therefore we can only capture the last option posted.
To resolve this we have to create an array out of our select name:
select name=trucklist[] size=12 style=width: 150px multiple
I added the square brakets to the name...now when I select all the
options on the list I can read all values individually.
Here is problem...my javascripts have stopped working, I can't move
options from one list to the next. Here is the javascript I use
currently...I would like help in modifing it so that it may work while
using the brakets on the name of the select:
Thanks a bunch for the help!! Always appreciated
First the two list that transmit the options back and forth: (javascript
below)
select name=trucklist size=12 style=width: 150px multiple
option value=LT680LT680/option
option value=LT685LT685/option
option value=LT690LT690/option
option value=LT695LT695/option
option value=LT700LT700/option
option value=LT705LT705/option

100px; onClick=MoveAll(fleetForm.reportinglist, fleetForm.trucklist)
/td
td
select name=reportinglist[] size=12 style=width: 150px multiple
here is the javascript:
function Move(fromList, toList){
var tempArray = new Array();
var x = 0;
//looping through source element to find selected options
for (var i = 0; i fromList.length; i++) {
if (fromList.options[i].selected) {
//need to move this option to the 'to' list
var selectionLen = toList.length++;
toList.options[selectionLen].text =
fromList.options[i].text;
toList.options[selectionLen].value =
fromList.options[i].value;
}
else {
//storing options that stay to recreate selected trucks
var tempValues = new Object();
tempValues.text = fromList.options[i].text;
tempValues.value = fromList.options[i].value;
tempArray[y] = tempValues;
y++;
}
}
//resetting length of 'from' list

//looping through temp array to recreate intial selection
for (var i = 0; i tempArray.length; i++) {
fromList.options[i].text = tempArray[i].text;
fromList.options[i].value = tempArray[i].value;
fromList.options[i].selected = false;

Keep the trucklist[] as the select list NAME. This will allow PHP to
work.
Add an ID to the select list:
select id=trucklist name=trucklist[] size=12 style=width:
150px multiple
Now modify your JavaScript to use this ID instead of the form element
name when moving.
function Move(fromListID, toListID)
{
fromList = document.getElementById(fromListID);
toList = document.getElementById(toListID);
etc etc
You can now access the fromList select list in the usual way.
Cheers,
Rich

Re: [PHP] html forms in php
I HATE Are you sure? prompts. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't have clicked it in the first place. If you want to make your users happy, trust them when they say Delete, but make it easy to undo. Instead of deleting the records, just set the Delete flag and timestamp. Then when the odd user makes a mistake, just unset that flag. After a period of time, you can really delete the records that were marked a few days ago. Thanks for that comment Scott, it helps me a lot to see what I didn't.

Re: [PHP] html forms in php
Here's some javascript I use for such instances:
[CODE]
if (myForm.hidWhich.value == delete)
{
var verify = prompt(You are about to delete this entry \n +
\n \n +
To delete this entry you must type this phrase in the prompt
and click OK: \n \n +
-- KILL ENTRY!);
if (verify == KILL ENTRY!)
{
myForm.submit();
return(true);
}
else
{
alert(Error: Could not delete entry becuase you either canceled
out or entered the wrong phrase! \n +
Your entry WAS NOT deleted.);
return(false);
}
}
[/CODE]
The user must click a button to delete the entry. This button calls as
function onClick; within that function is the above code. It requires
the user to enter an exact phrase. If the exact phrase is not entered,
it is returned false and the form never submits. If the correct phrase
is entered, it sumbits the form and I remove the entry from Postgresql.
So far I have not had any users accidentally delete anything.
The only problem is IE does not like the prompt() function -works
perfect in FireFox. In IE it doesn't display the text in the prompt
window, but if the correct phrase is entered it still works

RE: [PHP] HTML if no PHP
Hi Bob,
I want to display an HTML page if PHP can't load an
include file or otherwise has an error or just doesn't work.
How do I do this?
Not sure you can, especially not for the just doesn't work scenario.
FWIW, you can test for the existence of a file before including it:
if (file_exists(file/to/be/included)) {
include (file/to/be/included);
} else {
include (backup/plain/HTML/file);
}
but that doesn't cover all the bases you asked about. I'd certainly be
interested to hear any solutions to this one :-)

Quoting Bob Lockie [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
###

### How do I do this?

if (!$variable){print('your html stuff');}
Kinda basic, but it might help.

How do I do this?
include returns false on failure and here's a hack to
demonstrate. Once you implement your own error
handling, be sure to set error_reporting accordingly
or supress with @.
if (!include('foo.php')) {
if (!include('static.html')) {
print 'ut oh, this is serious.';
}
}
Be sure to read about PHP's error handling capabilities to
do something more useful and/or create your own error
handling functions/system.

Re: [PHP] HTML if no PHP
1) Include file not found:
if (file_exists($incfile))
include($incfile);
else
include ($error_html_file);
2) Error in file:
global $php_errormsg;
$php_errormsg = null;
@include($incfile);
$err = $php_errormsg;
if ($err)
echo The include file $incfile has an error: $err;
The trick is to put an @ before the include which will hide the error
(even if it's a critical one).
However, in case of a critical error, your script will silently be aborted.
Thus here's a solution to cature these cases:
3) Include and execute capturing critical errors:
$hf = fopen($incfile, 'r');
if ($hf) {
$buffer = fread($hf, filesize($incfile));
fclose($hf);
}
if ($buffer) {
global $php_errormsg;
$php_errormsg = null;
@eval($buffer);
$err = $php_errormsg;
}
The rest goes as above. The eval statement will gracefully handle any
critical error that would bring your script to an immediate halt in case of
@include.
HTH :)

How about just using set_error_handler() and process the errors from
there?

RE: [PHP] HTML page and php
There are several ways you can do this. The easiest way is to include the file like this: include(path_for_html_file); You can place this line wherever you need the html file included. See the include() function on php.net for more info. If, instead, you want to capture the html file and do something with it, you can use the file functions listed on php.net. It might seem a little difficult to grasp at first, but it will be very straightforward once you get used to using these functions. Just search for FileSystem on php.net and it will get you to the exact place you need to be to start learning about how to deal with files. Here is the direct link, just in case: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php. This site might also help you: http://www.devshed.com.

RE: [PHP] html input and php (newbie)
Hi Anna,
Your REGISTER_GLOBALS is most probably set to OFF (see php.ini file). Try
using the special $_POST array created by PHP:
if ($_POST['submit'] == click){
echo Hello, $_POST[UserName];
}
If your form was using the GET method you would need the $_GET array.

Daniel Kushner

Re: [PHP] html input and php (newbie)
What is of your PHP version?
I guess of your directive register_globals = off in your php.ini, so your
code would be run OK like this:
?php
if ($_POST['submit'] )
{
echo 'Hello'.$_POST['UserName'];
}
?

RE: [PHP] html input and php (newbie) -- What I was asking with my thoughts on Search Engine
This what I was asking, I want someone to press submit then have the returns
print out in one are of the table. So could I do this?
?php
if ($submit == click){
echo $sql_result;
}
?
So instead of doing a search.html that calls on do_search.php like most
books teach. I am wanting to do a search.php. Just print the information on
that page.

Re: [PHP] HTML Checkboxes and PHP variables
If you name the form elements as arrays, then yeah, they are pretty much the same. input type=checkbox name=foo[] value=oneOne input type=checkbox name=foo[] value=twoTwo input type=checkbox name=foo[] value=threeThree When submitted, $foo will be an array containing the values that were checked.

Re: [PHP] HTML Checkboxes and PHP variables
I've been wrestling with the same issue. I had some code loop through and
create an arbitrary number of checkbox inputs with the name 'foo[]'
I then attempted to access the array using:
foreach ($foo as $bar)
{
echo $bar;
}
but I got error messages telling me that $foo is not an array :-(
I'm using Netscape 4.7 something on Red Hat 6.2 ... could this be an
issue? I know Netscape can be pretty buggy and fussy at the best of times.

Re: [PHP] HTML Checkboxes and PHP variables
What version of PHP are you using? Is register_globals on or off?
Try $_GET['foo'] as the array name, instead of $foo, or $_POST['foo'],
depending on the method of your form.
