I don't see anything on the left tab. In fact, I don't think I see a left tab at all.

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

yes, i'm an idiot who is so stupid when she made her site, i used old school frames

open with IE pleasse

Ken2k7 · May 19, 2009

You mean this -

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/vhosts/planez.orgfree.com/infra.php on line 1216

That's just an error. If you can post line 1215-1216 here, I'm sure we can resolve that syntax error of yours. Don't worry, nothing leaked, except the line number.

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

I think I fixed that error. Turned out I did the <?php.. and then I opened PHP again without closing it

I did a ?> before the new open, and now it works.

problem is now.. its not doing what.. its not told to do... your right that doesnt make sense really

my problem is... since im such a noob.. i dont know how ot "hookup, my code to the submit button."

In the form, I have ... the code is on my laptop, let me login here on my laptop, and i can paste the code on there to show you what i mean. 1 sec pls sir

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

wow it doesnt look like that... the copy paste is messing things up... is there a code thing on here...

<?php

$sql="INSERT INTO wings (CC1, GB1, Radar1, Runway1, Factory1, NP1, Residence1, PP1, Oil1)

VALUES ($_POST[1], $_POST[2], $_POST[3], $_POST[4], $_POST[5], $_POST[6], $_POST[7], $_POST[8]);";

$result=mysql_query($sql)or die ("Error. Could not do SQL query!");

?>

<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">

/

<input style="font-size:8pt;" type=button name=dest value=Destroy onClick="Go(0,this.form);"> buildings to highlighted sector

there we go!

<?php

<form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">

Can't see the error since it's an IE thing and I'm using Linux.. which doesn't come with IE, but did you assing a value to that $PHP_SELF?

I think you might have wanted to use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] there.

As for the code bbcode, see my signature

eRott · May 19, 2009

I am unsure if this will help you. Hope it does.

<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="example" />
<input type="submit" name="test" value="Submit" />
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST['test']))
{

// RUN CODE ON FORM SUBMIT. EXAMPLE BELOW.

$example = $_POST['example'];
echo $example;

}
?>

EDIT: Aye. Ken2k7 is correct, my mistake. $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; is not required when posting to the same page.

Ken2k7 · May 19, 2009

1. Please don't call me sir. Nothing against you. I just feel weird about it. I'm not even 21

2. $PHP_SELF is deprecated. If you're submitting to the same page, you don't need the action attribute.

3. In your query, there are a few things wrong. I don't think $_POST[1] works. I think you have to call it by the name. For example, if your input field (I'll use the first one for example), has the name attribute set to "cons", then you use $_POST['cons'] for the value.

4. Don't put your $sql variable next to <?php that closely. Put a space between them.

Example of hooking a form with a submit button to PHP -

<form method="post">
Username: <input type="text" name="username" /><br />
Age: <input type="text" name="age" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

<?php
// this checks if the submit button is clicked. When you submit that form above,
// PHP's $_POST has the submit key in its array with the value, which is "Submit"
if (!empty($_POST['submit'])) { // so if it's not empty, then get the other input fields
     $username = $_POST['username'];  // see how it matches the name of the input field?
     $age = $_POST['age'];
     
     // let's check if the data is empty
     if (empty($username)) {
          // error
         echo 'username is empty';
         exit; // quits the script
     }

     // same for age
     if (empty($age)) {
          echo 'age is empty';
          exit;
     }
     
     // now that we know the data aren't empty, let's continue.
     
     // so in a SQL, you want to first use mysql_real_escape_string() on the user input to prevent SQL injection.
     $username = mysql_real_escape_string($username);
     // generally, you don't have to use it on numbers, so we'll just cast $age as a number
     $age = intval($age);   // you could have done - $age = (int) $age; as well
     
     $sql = 'INSERT INTO table (username, age) VALUES ("$username", "$age")';
     // See how there is a quote around values? Well you need those.
     $query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
}

// the closing ?> php tag is optional.

Hope that helps.

This is what the entire form looks like.

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

ok... so see how they are named $_POST[1], and thne 2.. 3 4 5.. and so on

thats becasue each field is a text field in the form.. this is a very big form

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

3. In your query, there are a few things wrong. I don't think $_POST[1] works. I think you have to call it by the name. For example, if your input field (I'll use the first one for example), has the name attribute set to "cons", then you use $_POST['cons'] for the value.

I did... each text field is named a number... 1 2 3 4... so on... so thats why its post 1

eRott · May 19, 2009

My eyes... Please place the BBCode code tags around that.

Maq · May 19, 2009

I think I just went blind...

Please surround your code with

tags for proper formatting and syntax highlighting, you don't have to create your own

EDIT: Damnit eRott, I said the same thing you did now I have to change it, hmm let's see...

eRott · May 19, 2009

Maq, how did you do that? I had been trying for 5 blasted minutes to type the BBCode without it actually turning into well... BBcode (if you know what I mean).

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

there done

sorry about that im blonde lol

Maq · May 19, 2009

Maq, how did you do that? I had been trying for 5 blasted minutes to type the BBCode without it actually turning into well... BBcode (if you know what I mean).

Use [nobbc][/nobbc] tags around the BBC you don't want parsed.

studygirl15 · May 19, 2009

ok i think im getting closer to the problem...

it says that.. its cant do the SQL query... the problem is... the SQL query tells it to instert the data into the database... that is only saposed to happen when i pressed the button... so why is is trying to do it right when the page loads up...

Maq · May 19, 2009

You're right, your have your SQL execution because you even check to see if anything has been submitted. You're also using a lot of javascript for some reason while you're still processing everything server side...

Anyway, try changing this portion:

$sql="INSERT INTO wings (CC1, GB1, Radar1, Runway1, Factory1, NP1, Residence1, PP1, Oil1)
VALUES ($_POST[1], $_POST[2], $_POST[3], $_POST[4], $_POST[5], $_POST[6], $_POST[7], $_POST[8]);";  

$result=mysql_query($sql)or die ("Error. Could not do SQL query!");

?>

</pre>
<form method="post">
<

to this:

if(isset($_POST['cons']))
{
   $sql="INSERT INTO wings (CC1, GB1, Radar1, Runway1, Factory1, NP1, Residence1, PP1, Oil1)
   VALUES ($_POST[1], $_POST[2], $_POST[3], $_POST[4], $_POST[5], $_POST[6], $_POST[7], $_POST[8]);";  
   $result=mysql_query($sql)or die ("Error. Could not do SQL query! " . mysql_error()); 
}

?>
</pre>
<form method="POST" action="<?php%20echo%20%24_SERVER%5B'PHP_SELF'%5D;%20?>">
   <

eRott, you can quote someone's post to see.

studygirl15 · May 20, 2009

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);for (var $e = 0; $e < 10; $e++) { ?>

Is there something wrong with thie line?

Ken2k7 · May 20, 2009

Yeah, var shouldn't be there.
