Re: [PHP] form variables issue
Can you check the source code?
are there values in source, but it is not displayed on the browser?
input type=text value=My Name is Richard name=first_name
check this code snippet
?php
echo get_magic_quotes_gpc(); // 1
echo $_POST['lastname']; // O\'reilly
echo addslashes($_POST['lastname']); // O\\\'reilly
if (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$lastname = addslashes($_POST['lastname']);
} else {
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
}
echo $lastname; // O\'reilly
$sql = INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname');
?
Thanks

Do you know how I can fix this? The first big problem is that you are outputting stuff like this: input name=foo value=this value has whitespace so is not a value / instead of this: input name=foo value=this value has whitespace but quotes matter / You should call http://php.net/htmlentities on the data right before you print it into the HTML page. ?php $value_html = htmlentities($value)? input name=foo value=?php echo $value_html? / Note that magic_quotes_gpc is enabled. In that case, you need to call http://php.net/stripslashes on the data before you do anything with it, except to cram it into a database. magic_quotes_gpc *ONLY* made sense in the context of the early days of PHP when 99.999% of the data was just getting tossed into a MySQL database and there were a lot less Bad Guys around -- when it was all guestbooks and lovey-dovey surfers. In today's world, Magic Quotes should probably just die... It's a shame, in a way, in that Magic Quotes is a nice simple solution to those simplistic applications that are just tossing data into a database, and not doing much else. But PHP has grown up a lot since then, and the world is a different place. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The approach of using $_GET variables would just make the URL very very long, like imagine having to pass close to 33 variables on the form. The other option wud be to use $_SESSION array to store the form variables. Does anyone have nay other suggestion.?

A logged in User enters details of the company he/she wants to ad to to the MySQL DB. This form is embedded in add_new.php which call add_new_result.php as a POST method. 2. if the company name exists in the DB the user is alerted and and asked to choose a different company name.

Sure.
In the code below, class_type is passed in the query_string (e.g.

Also, below sql values are sent via a post.

switch($_REQUEST['class_type']) {
case 'apartments';
dbConnect(INSERT into c_apart_data (submit_date, apart_type_id, location,
bedrooms, rent, heat, lease, deposit, pets, phone, email, blurb)
Values('$submit_date', '$apart_type_id', '$location', '$bedrooms', '$rent',
'$heat', '$lease', '$deposit', '$pets', '$phone', '$email', '$blurb'));

Re: [PHP] Form variables not working
Because it isn't? Instead of echoing $PHP_SELF, echo
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. With the $_POST problem, it's complaining that
you're using a variable that isn't defined. Use?
?php
if(array_key_exists('formfieldnamegoeshere',$_POST)){
print $_POST['formfieldnamegoeshere'];
}

The PHP_SELF value is contained in the $_SERVER superglobal array and you

This is not an error you see but a Notice or Warning that you are using a
variable (or an array index) that has not been defined yet. While this is
not necessary in this siziation it might point out a possible source of
problems under other circumstances, allowing you to spot why your script
doesn't work as expected.
You could either
if (array_key_exists('answered', $_POST))
to avoid the warning, or
error_reporting(E_ALL ~(E_NOTICE|E_WARNING))
to switch off notices or warnings for this script, if you are prepared to
do so...

Because register globals is disabled you have to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],
that's covered in the manual.
echo $_POST[answered]; on the first run gives an error that says that

That's because the first time you run it you have not submitted a form yet so
it's undefined.
Various ways to get around this, most straight forward (IMO) being:
if (isset($_post['answered'])) { echo $_post['answered']; }

Re: [PHP] Form variables vs Sessions
Follow your instincts and do some research into sessions. I've put enormous amounts of data into sessions before on high-traffic sites without much trouble. You need to have the memory for it, of course, but it takes a lot of form data to equate to any significant amount. Chances are you'll be just fine. Also, consider that the more data you have in the session, the less data you're passing along in every single request and every single response. You might notice some significant performance improvements. Chris John W wrote: I am having a problem with a form system that I am developing. It is a multi page form with over a hundred different possible variables. The problem that I'm having is that when a user enters invalid data on one page and then submits to the next page I want that page to go back to the previous page with the form fields already filled in. Currently I have the form going to the previous page with a custom error message, but am having a problem with getting the fields filled in. I pass the variables from page to page by using PHP to convert them to hidden form fields. I have considered using sessions but am concerned with the high overhead due to the number of variables. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Form Variables
Actually, they are. You are assuming the PHP directive
register_globals = on when using $phrase from the form
below. register_globals = on is what creates $phrase.
As of PHP 4.2.0 the default value for register_globals
has become off. Regardless, there are other options:
Try either:
// Worked since PHP 3 (forever)
print $HTTP_GET_VARS['phrase'];
// Worked since PHP 4.1.0
print $_GET['phrase'];
print $_REQUEST['phrase'];
// Worked since PHP 4.1.0 too
// See docs for details (see also extract())

Why is enter and submit acting differently? I think whether the submitquote=Get+Quote appears in the URL or not depends on the browser. Some browsers (Opera), submits the 'whole' form when you press enter, and it's equivalent to clicking on Submit. Others (IE), do not send the 'whole' form and is not equivalent to clicking on Submit. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk /* Patageometry, n.: The study of those mathematical properties that are invariant under brain transplants. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I think it is a limitation of PHP 3. It should work with PHP 4. HTML is not responsible here. If it's a risky structure to use, I'll find a way to work it into a single dimensional array...

RE: [PHP] Form Variables!!!!!
My problem is:
I wanna know the names of the variables that my actual page
recives from the last page (using the POST method).
while( list( $formVarName, $formVarValue = each( $HTTP_POST_VARS )) {
echo "$formVarName = $formVarValuebr\n";
}

Re: [PHP] form variables showing blank but query shows non-blank ??
Show us all the code you chopped out, or at least every single line that mentions $pass_category. Or, faster for you to figure it out: Echo out $pass_category immediately before the if () statement. I'm betting you set it accidentally in the other code. if ($pass_category "") $sql2 = $sql2 . " and cat = '$pass_category' "; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [PHP] form variables showing blank but query shows non-blank ??
what about the form itself?
I see no problems in here (except of course that you disclosed your mySQL
host, login and password)

Subject: [PHP] form variables showing blank but query shows non-blank ??
Hi,
I have a form that has 4 variables, one, $pass_category, being a select
list. The form posts a php script. Once inside the PHP script if I have not
selected one of the select list variables the value should be blank. If I
echo this out the value shows as blank. However, I later check the value of
the passed select list variable and it passes a "if "" test which has me
baffled. I don't have this problem with my three other variables that are
just form fields versus a select list. Am I missing something basic or ??
What I'm doing here is building a SQL statement based on form variables. A
snippet of the script is below.
I'd sincerely appreciate any help or guidance!!
Andre
?php
mysql_close;
$pass_category = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_cat"];
$pass_company = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_company"];
$pass_contact = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_contact"];
$pass_sort = $HTTP_POST_VARS["form_sort"];
if ($debug =="y")
{
echo "Pass_category=$pass_categorybr"; /* This shows as blank */
echo "Pass_company=$pass_companybr";
echo "Pass_contact=$pass_contactbr";
echo "Pass_sort=$pass_sortbr";
}
$db = mysql_pconnect("mysql1:katychamber.com", "katyc2", "katyc2");
...
...
if ($pass_category "") $sql2 = $sql2 . " and cat = '$pass_category' ";
/* this statement passes this test even though it appears to be blank */
