Post Raw Data

[phpnewbie112]

I had a problem with using the $_POST['text']; so I searched around and found file_get_contents('php://input',); this command is outputting all the form fields, how can I choose to output only the "text" field? thanks

I believe it would probably be easier to fix your code where you are having the problem with the $_POST['text'] rather then getting the POST another way.

[phpnewbie112]

I have an output problem with the POST for example:

 

"Alert" is returning \"Alert\"

 

and the form enctype is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

[MasterACE14]

what is the $_POST being used for?

 

because if its returning...

 

\"Alert\"

 

you can use stripslashes();

[True`Logic]

try stripslashes($_POST['text']);  for more information search http://php.net for stripslashes

[phpnewbie112]

It's not only a matter of slashes also for example the new line is returning an _

[MasterACE14]

you can use str_replace(); for that

[phpnewbie112]

Even the str_replace(); is not doing the right job.

[MasterACE14]

post some code lol

[phpnewbie112]

yes lol

 

 

Form:

 

<form action="post.php" name="form1" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" >
<p>To: <input type="text" name="to" size="20"></p>
<p>Text:<textarea rows="2" name="text" cols="20"></textarea></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>

 

and the post.php file

 

<?

$url = "www.clickatell.com/api....the clickatell api link here";

$to = $_POST['to']);
$text = $_POST['text']);

if ( (!empty($to)) && (!empty($text)) )
{
$ret = file($url);
$send = split(":",$ret[0]);

if ($send[0] == "OK")  {
echo "Good";

}

else {
echo "Rejected";

}
exit();
}
?>

 

no correct text is received on mobiles

[MasterACE14]

see what happens if you remove

 

enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

 

from the form.

[phpnewbie112]

the enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" was not in the form, I added to see if it fix the problem but did not

[MasterACE14]

ok, going back to your question, whats do you want to happen? and what is currently happening... ?

Can you show us the code where you display the data? It cant be raw postdata if its adding slashes to quotation marks and stuff.

[phpnewbie112]

very simple, this code is a contact form to send instant short messages to my mobile. this is for example a text inside a form and how it appears on mobile phone

 

Form Text:

 

It's a first test

 

It's a 2nd [test]

 

 

Mobile:

 

It\'s a first test__It\'s a 2nd [test

 

 

[phpnewbie112]

Yes Andy-H it is not raw data, I wont to know how to post it as RAW data for the text field only

[Andy-H]

Is the data displayed on screen or inserted into a database? Or does it simply just send to the mobile?

[phpnewbie112]

on screen and mobile.

[Andy-H]

$to = $_POST['to']);

$text = $_POST['text']);

 

I duno what the problem is but I just noticed that in your code...
