[SOLVED] Displaying manipulated user entered data (via a html form) using PHP

davewit13 · August 21, 2009

Hi guys,

First time using this site. And quiet new to php/server side scripts, so might be a easy one i dunno.

Basically i have a html form with drop downs etc. and im sending this to a php file. At the moment i just want to store the values in variable and display them to the screen before manipulating them (which should be the easy bit, i think!).

While i do see the information set in the html form on the address bar on the next screen, i cant seem to do

At the moment heres how it looks:

<html>

........

.......

</form>

....</html>

domestic.php looks like:

<?php

$FullPallet=$_GET["FullPallet"]

$QuarterPallet=$_GET["QuarterPallet"]

$DeliveryType=$_GET["DeliveryType"]

$DeliveryFrom=$_GET["DeliveryFrom"]

$DeliveryTo=$_GET["DeliveryTo"]

?>

<html>

......

Hello, You have queried an order of <?php echo $FullPallet ?> full pallets and <?php echo $QuarterPallet; ?> quarter pallets. The delivery is from <?php $DeliveryFrom ?> and is going to <?php $DeliveryTo ?>. This is a <?php $HTTP_GET_VARS['DeliveryType'] ?> delivery.

.....

</html>

As you can see to display it to the screen i have tried quiet a few different things, not sure if thats the problem or how i set the variables etc.

Please Help!!

Maybe putting them in a " "?

<?php echo "$FullPallet "; ?>

@Aravinthan...why would you want to put quotes around variables?

---------------------------------------

In your php code at the top of the page it is missing the line termination symbol of semi-colon--------> ;

* Your page code be crashing... a lot of hosting companies turn off errors for some reason????

Your code should be:

<?php
$FullPallet=$_GET["FullPallet"];
$QuarterPallet=$_GET["QuarterPallet"];
$DeliveryType=$_GET["DeliveryType"];
$DeliveryFrom=$_GET["DeliveryFrom"];
$DeliveryTo=$_GET["DeliveryTo"];
?>

other than that your code looks correct...what is the page doing exactly...does it print the text but just not the variable values?

@sdhi,

I experienced some problems... And I put the quotes and it starts working...

But yeah the semi-colon is the problem...

I was looking in the wrong place lol.

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you want to NOT display the 'you have ordered.....' part unless they actually do?

<?php
$FullPallet=$_POST["FullPallet"];
$QuarterPallet=$_POST["QuarterPallet"];
$DeliveryType=$_POST["DeliveryType"];
$DeliveryFrom=$_POST["DeliveryFrom"];
$DeliveryTo=$_POST["DeliveryTo"];
?>

You should put them in a POST to void user modification.. htmlspecialchar is smart to.. unless you want the user to be able to change something in the GET requests and mess with the order..

<form name="myform"  method="POST" action="domestic.php">

And simply..

if (isset($_POST['FullPallet'])){ 
   echo "Hello, You have queried an order of $FullPallet full pallets and $QuarterPallet  quarter pallets. The delivery is from $DeliveryFrom and is going to $DeliveryTo. This is a ".$HTTP_GET_VARS['DeliveryType']."delivery."
} else {
  echo "Pleas enter form.";
}

I have put the semi colon in, however it doesnt seem to display anything back to the screen from my php code. This is in the domestic.php part.

"Hello, You have queried an order of

<?php echo "Hello, You have queried an order of $FullPallet full pallets and $QuarterPallet quarter pallets. The delivery is from $DeliveryFrom and is going to $DeliveryTo. This is a ".$HTTP_GET_VARS['DeliveryType']."delivery."?>

hi test <?php echo php test "quote test" ?>

</table>

However the page does not display anything. only the "hello you have queries an order of, and te hi test part also. It seems to ignore anything in the <?php... ?>

Aravinthan · August 22, 2009

Post the form code.

$FullPallet=$_GET["FullPallet"];
