Is there a way how link can post data to a form on different page?
I imagine something like this, but this only open the requested page in new window (which is fine), but leaves the form on that page unfilled and also unsubmitted.
<?php echo '
<form action="http://www.someweb.cz/info2/dochazka/dochazka.php" method="post">
<input name="obdobi" type="hidden" value="'.$obdobi[Obdobi].'" />
<input name="kurs" type="hidden" value="'.$kurz_vybrany.'" />
<a target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;"
href="http://www.someweb.cz/info2/dochazka/dochazka.php?doc=start.htm"
onclick="this.form.submit();">'.$pocet_lidi.'</a>
</form>'; ?>
I can slightly modify the "action" page code, but I'd like to keep the POST method.
This is easy to accomplish via cURL. See Example #2 on the manual page:
$ch = curl_init();
$data = array('obdobi' => $obdobi[Obdobi],
'kurs' => $kurz_vybrany);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.someweb.cz/info2/dochazka/dochazka.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_exec($ch);
You can change your javascript a bit, since the use of this is actually referring to the anchor itself and not the window, the form, etc. (thus calling this.form isn't actually capturing the form, it's giving an undefined error).
<form action="http://www.google.com" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="q" />
Submit
</form>
Note the parentNode reference after this. Note this demo.
I could not get either of suggested working. And because this was only a part of bigger project with deadline closing I decided to solve this by removing form, updating anchor to
<a target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;"
href="http://www.someweb.cz/info2/dochazka/dochazka.php
?doc=start.htm&obdobi='.$obdobi[Obdobi].'&kurs='.$kurz_vybrany.'">'.$pocet_lidi.'</a>
and adding
<?php
if (isset($_GET[kurs])) $kurs = $_GET[kurs];
if (isset($_GET[obdobi])) $obdobi = $_GET[obdobi];
?>
to dochazka.php

I have a fairly basic email form
<form name="contactform" method="post" action="send_email.php" id="email_form">
<div class="ContactHeaders">Name</div>
<input type="text" name="Name" class="ContactBoxes" id="name"/><br/><br/>
<div class="ContactHeaders">Email</div>
<input type="email" name="Email" class="ContactBoxes"/><br/><br/>
<div class="ContactHeaders">Message</div>
<div style="width:100%">
<textarea name="Message" maxlength="1000"></textarea><br/>
</div>
<div style="width: 100%">
<input type="submit" class="Submitbtn" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>
Here's 'send_email.php'
<?php
ob_start();
include 'navbar.php';
ob_end_clean();
if(isset($_POST['Email'])) {
//declare variables
$Name = $_POST['Name'];
$Email = $_POST['Email'];
$Message = $_POST['Message'];
$complete = 0;
$email_to = "someone#example.com";
$email_subject = "Website Contact";
//check all forms are filled in correctly
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+#[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(preg_match($email_exp,$Email)) {
$complete++;
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(preg_match($string_exp,$Name)) {
$complete++;
}
if(strlen($Message) > 20) {
$complete++;
}
//send email if $complete = 4
if ($complete == 3){
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$Message = stripslashes($Message);
}
$Message = $Message . "\n\n" . "From " . $Name;
$headers = 'From: '.$Email."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$Email."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
#mail($email_to, $email_subject, $Message, $headers);
echo '<script>
alert("Thank you for contacting me. I will be in touch shortly");
top.location="index.php";
</script>';
}
else {
echo '<script>
alert("The form you submitted is invalid. Please ensure the following: \n You have provided a valid email address. \n Your phone number is entered correctly. \n The message box contains at least 20 characters.")
history.go(-1)
</script>';
}
}
?>
So my problem is that when the form submits to the php file, the browser loads the php file, runs the code and returns the result (It's not really a problem but it's something I don't want) It is then up to java to display the alert and go back one (in my code anyway). Is there a way to make it run the code in the background so the form runs the php file without having to go to it (if that makes sense) and return the result in the same window. I've obviously looked around and found loads of things about AJAX but I didn't really understand it and couldn't get it to work for me.
The reason for doing this is a little complicated but would make things much easier as far as user-friendliness goes for my site, as well as looking cleaner (going to a blank page and displaying an alert doesn't look very good).
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me:)
$('.Submitbtn').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// do some form validation here
if form is valid { // from validation above
var formData = $('#email_form').serialize();
$.post('send_email.php',{data:formData});
} else {
alert('Form no good - fix it!');
return false;
}
});
Here's something you can start with. This is very basic but supplies the necessary foundation for beginning your AJAX adventure.

I am new in codeigniter, I want to send link with data flash message in codeiniter how can I send the link?
this is my session message.
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', '<div id="message" class="alert alert-error">Your account is not active yet. Please activate your account.</div>');
I want to send link like that
<a href="<?php site_url().'/home/link';?></a>
how can I send, please help me to to this thanks in advance
In the controller create a link and assign it in a variable like this
function index(){
$link = site_url('home/link');
//Now assign this variable in flash and redirect
$this->session->set_flashdata('message', '<div id="message" class="alert alert- error">Your account is not active yet. Please activate your account.</div>');
$this->session->set_flashdata('link', $link);
redirect('othercontroller/method');
}
I know there are thousands and thousands of ways to utilize the PHP mail() function, but I am fairly new to PHP and could use some pointers to get me set in the right direction. I have a PHP mail function written into my WordPress driven site and it emails all the information (name, email, & phone) except for the message field. I've done my research on here as well as every PHP related site, but I would prefer to understand my specific issue so I can better understand what I'm writing. So with that said...here's the code:
<?php
function spamcheck($field)
{
$field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);
if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}
if (isset($_POST['email']))
{
$mailcheck = spamcheck($_POST['email']);
if ($mailcheck==FALSE)
{
$submit_message = "Please input your information again.";
}
else
{
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
mail("emailaddress#gmail.com", "From: $name", "Email: $email", "Phone Number: $phone", "Message: $message");
$submit_message = "Thank you for your message";
}
}
?>
And the HTML...
<form name="message-me" id="contact-form" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; ?>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="field-group">
<label>Name:</label><input type="text" name="name" id="form_name" />
</div>
<div class="field-group">
<label>Email:</label><input type="text" name="email" id="form_email" />
</div>
<div class="field-group">
<label>Phone:</label><input type="text" name="phone" id="form_phone" />
</div>
<div class="field-group">
<label>Message:</label><textarea rows="4" cols="31" name="message" id="form_message"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="field-group">
<input type="image" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/Send-Message-Arrow.png" width="90" height="72" class="form-button" />
</div>
</form>
Any information would be greatly appreciated. As I mentioned, I'm still learning PHP and I really want to understand what I'm writing - not just blindly copying & pasting code all the time. Thanks!
Your SMTP want to be configured, first check up that
and
//Header Information for mail
$headers = "YOUR HEADERS INFORMATION HERE";
$msg="Email: $email<br/>Phone Number: $phone<br/>Message: $message";
mail("emailaddress#example.com", $subject, $msg, $headers);
Please have look at Documentation.
You need to provide parameters as
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
Here you have provided "to" email address right.
So this might help you:
$message = $_POST['message'];
//Give mail a subject
$subject = "YOUR SUBJECT HERE";
//Header Information for mail
$headers = "YOUR HEADERS INFORMATION HERE";
mail("emailaddress#gmail.com", $subject, $message, $headers);
$submit_message = "Thank you for your message";
Enjoy!
Kindly read this manual with the directives and examples on it and you'll understand well what you are doing. Just take your time to read and understand well then start asking your questions from that point. Right now, you don't seem to understand even how the PHP mail() works. Read then get back so together you'll understand any solutions pointed out to you and you won't just copy and paste the solution without being able to solve it tomorrow.

I am using the Wufoo API V3 to submit data from a form hosted on my website to my Wufoo account. I followed the example on the [Entries POST API][1] page, and I was able to successfully the data to my account.
I was wondering how I am able to check for error messages, and display the ErrorText for each text input field using PHP?
For example, if someone does not provide their email address in a required email field.
Here is the code I have so far:
<?
function submit() {
$ref = curl_init('https://myname.wufoo.com/api/v3/forms/xxxxxx/entries.json');
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: multipart/form-data'));
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, getPostParams());
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX');
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ref, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Wufoo.com');
$response = curl_exec($ref);
echo $response;
}
function getPostParams() {
return array( 'Field4' => "you#company.com");
}
submit();
?>
UPDATE (Nov 12, 2011):
MinisterOfPower,
Thanks for [the reply and advice][2] about the Wufoo PHP API Wrapper. I am now using the API Wrapper and it rocks. I am having some challenges integrating the code you provided with my form.
For example, if I have a form on index.php (see below) with an email required field. How would I be able to set up the API wrapper to display an error next to the appropriate input field after the form is submitted?
Here's the code for index.php:
<? require_once('my-wrapper.php'); ?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" autocomplete="off" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action="">
<div>
<label id="email" class="icons" for="Field4">Email</label>
<input id="Field4" name="Field4" type="text" class="formreg"/>
</div>
<div>
<label id="name" class="icons" for="Field6">Name</label>
<input id="Field6" name="Field6" type="text" class="formreg"/>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="saveForm" value="Submit" id="submit" class="submit" />
<input type="hidden" id="idstamp" name="idstamp" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
Here's the code for my-wrapper.php:
$wrapper = new WufooApiWrapper('XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX', 'mysubdomain','wufoo.com');
$postArray = array();
foreach ($this->postValues as $value => $key) {
$postArray[] = new WufooSubmitField($key, $value);
}
try {
$result = $wrapper->entryPost('XXXXXX', $postArray);
if (!$result->Success) {
foreach ($result->FieldErrors as $key => $value) {
echo "Error on $key. Error Text: $value <br />";
}
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
//Read the error message.
}
UPDATE (Nov 20, 2011):
I am now able to display the error messages with the help of MinisterofPower's code and the Wufoo API wrapper. I have a couple of follow up questions:
I was wondering how I do set up the form below with PHP so that it posts the entries upon pressing the submit button?
Is it possible to do this using AJAX so the page does not refresh?
Here's the code:
<?
// API
require_once('WufooApiExamples.php');
// Wufoo
$wrapper = new WufooApiWrapper('XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX', 'mysubdomain','wufoo.com');
// Post Entries
$postArray = array();
foreach ($this->postValues as $key => $value) {
$postArray[] = new WufooSubmitField($key, $value);
}
try {
$result = $wrapper->entryPost('xxxxxx', $postArray);
if (!$result->Success) {
foreach ($result->FieldErrors as $key => $value) {
$fieldError[$value->ID] = $value->ErrorText;
}
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
//Read the error message.
}
// Add Errors
function addErrors($fieldName, $fieldError, $add){
if($fieldError[$fieldName] != ''){
if ($add == 'message') return '<p class="errors">'.$fieldError[$fieldName].'</p>';
else if ($add == 'class') return 'class ="errors"';
}
}
?>
<!--Begin Form-->
<div <? echo addErrors('Field4', $fieldError, 'class') ?>>
<label id="profile" class="icons" for="Field4">Email</label>
<input id="Field4" name="Field4" type="text" class="formreg" tabindex="1"/>
<? echo addErrors('Field4', $fieldError, 'message')?>
</div>
<div <? echo addErrors('Field6', $fieldError, 'class') ?>>
<label id="profile" class="icons" for="Field6">Name</label>
<input id="Field6" name="Field6" type="text" class="formreg" tabindex="1"/>
<? echo addErrors('Field6', $fieldError, 'message')?>
</div>
<!--End Form-->
The process of retrieving the response is outlined in the API docs. Also, the markup for field errors in found the Dealing With Failure section.
Is is worth nothing that Wufoo offers API Wrappers for PHP and many other languages. I highly suggest using one of those since they make the process so much easier.
Using the Wufoo API, you'd search for a Success value of 0 in the response object and then parse the Field Errors node, as shown here:
$wrapper = new WufooApiWrapper($this->apiKey, $this->subdomain, 'wufoo.com');
$postArray = array();
foreach ($this->postValues as $value => $key) {
$postArray[] = new WufooSubmitField($key, $value);
}
try {
$result = $wrapper->entryPost($this->formHash, $postArray);
if (!$result->Success) {
foreach ($result->FieldErros as $key => $value) {
echo "Error on $key. Error Text: $value <br />";
}
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
//Read the error message.
}
A followup question was posted above, so I'll add my answer here.
You asked how to display an error next to the form in question. You could do this with either javascript or php. I'll show you the PHP way only.
Using PHP, you could redirect back to the form with a value in the GET param of the URL, enumerating the error fields and messages. So, for example, you could do this:
for($result->FieldErrors as $name => $value) {
$str.="$name=$value&";
}
if($str) {
$str = '?errors=true&'.$str;
$host = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$uri = rtrim(dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']), '/\\');
header("Location: http://$host$uri/$str");
exit;
}
Then, you'd wrap the above code in this if statement to check for error values on postback, like so:
if($_GET['errors']) {
require_once('my-wrapper.php');
else
//Your HTML HERE
endif
After that, add some PHP conditions which append class names to your fields if they contain errors. For example:
<label id="Field4" class="icons <?php if ($_GET['Field4']) echo 'error'; ?>" for="Field4">Email</label>
Finally, add some CSS to call out the error fields with a color or other indicator.
The other way to do this is with javascript.
Use the same logic as above, but add the following script to your page (grabbed from here and here.)
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function getQueryVariable(variable) {
var query = window.location.search.substring(1);
var vars = query.split("&");
for (var i=0;i<vars.length;i++) {
var pair = vars[i].split("=");
if (pair[0] == variable) {
return 'error';
}
}
}
function changeClass (elementID, newClass) {
var element = document.getElementById(elementID);
element.setAttribute("class", newClass); //For Most Browsers
element.setAttribute("className", newClass); //For IE; harmless to other browsers.
}
changeClass('Field4', 'error');
</script>
Then use this markup instead:
<label id="Field4" class="icons" for="Field4">Email</label>
Good luck.
PS: This code was written here in SO, so it will probably contain syntax errors. But you can get the point...
I'm writting a web app, I'm doing a html form with javascript to validate the data, I'm using a servlet to insert the data in a DB, but I need, when the form load, fill a select in the html form with the rows of a table in a MySql DB, I think I have to make a query in a ResultSet and then fill the select in the html form with this info, and then use the HttpServletResponse, but I have no idea how to make this
Use PHP to access the database and then put it into the form. Something like this:
$id = $_GET['id'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE id='$id'");
$info = mysql_fetch_array($result))
$name = $info['name'];
$email = $info['email'];
$anotherField = $info['another_field'];
In this, the info array has all of the database data in it of the id. But of course you would change the values and stuff. Change table_name to the table name, and if you are going to do something in the URL like ?id=373384 or something, then this will work. (I would assume you are doing it this way.) But, if it isn't 'id', just change WHERE id='$id' to what is in the database to identify a line.
$info['name']; would be the "name" column in your table. But, you can change 'name' and stuff to what you have in your database.
Here is the form code to pre-fill it with data:
<form>
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $name ?>" />
<input type="text" name="name" value="<?php echo $email ?>" />
<!--etc...-->
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
You would need to change a lot of this, but I'm sure you get the point of it. :)
Note: This is not a simple copy+paste script. You will have to do a lot of charing because I don't know what your table values are and stuff.
If you have any questions, please do ask.
