ermmm.... :wtf:

Well.

I can click all three check boxes on your first page.... does that mean I get to pick all 3 headers?

and

The code on your second page doesn't have a $_POST anywhere on it. So, if you're sending data with JS to your php page... then your php page needs to extract which check box I checked.

Seems like you have a lot of work to do. Suggest you research $_POST and how JS wokrs with php.

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

Could you please help me with the code?

I just took some code from a older program that i had and put it in there. Thats how i got the $_post.

Can you please help me and show me how it should look so it will work. Cause i need it done soon.

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

Here is the code that i added to it.... how can i change it so that it will work with mine?

<?php
$bits = $_POST['bitsOne'];

$oct1 = $_POST['octet1'];

$oct2 = $_POST['octet2'];

$oct3 = $_POST['octet3'];

$oct4 = $_POST['octet4'];

echo "<h3>The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us.</h3>";

echo '<br>Your network address is :'.$oct1.'.'.$oct2.'.'.$oct3.'.'.$oct4.' <b> </b>';

switch ($bits) {

case 1:

echo "<br>You Chose 1 Bits";

echo "<br>There are 126 Hosts Per Subnet";

echo "<br>There are 2 Maximum Subnets" ;

echo "<br>Your subnet mask is: 255.255.255.128" ;

break;

^^^ Thats a code from one of my older .php pages

xcandiottix · March 26, 2010

you just want whatever banner that someone checkmarks on your first page to show up on the top of the second page right?

trq · March 26, 2010

i need it so that the person can check the box of the image that they want and it will post it over to my .php page as a header.

That makes little sense. How about describing your issue a little clearer.

We are not hear to write code for people, especially if it is homework. Homework is specifically designed to re-iterate what you have learnt in class, have you tried actually going through your notes?

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

Yes xcandiottix. I just need the box that is checked to print the header over to the next page.

And Thorpe I have been working on this for almost a week. Ive tryed every code that i know even read most of my PhP for beginner book. I still cant figure it out. Please just help me.

ignace · March 26, 2010

First rename your checkboxes to radio buttons

<input type="radio" ..

Then make sure all input's have the same name:

<input type="radio" name="header" value="1" ..

<input type="radio" name="header" value="2" ..

<input type="radio" name="header" value="3" ..

Your user is now only able to select 1 header.

In your PHP you write:

if (isset($_POST['header'])) {
    $header = intval($_POST['header']);
    //echo $header; // outputs: 1, 2 or 3
    //..
}

The rest is up to you

xcandiottix · March 26, 2010

well... i don't remember off hand exactly how to work with the check boxes... but say you had a submit button below each banner.

I would put something like this below each banner:

I'm only going to do banner 1 as an example

// Banner 1's image code here

<form action="yoursecondpage.php" method="post"

enctype="multipart/form-data">

</form>

then on your php page

$chosenbanner = $_POST['whichbanner']

// $chosenbanner is now equal to banner1 from the value field of the script above

if ($chosenbanner == banner1){

//echo your banner image code for banner 1 here

}

and that should work. Try it on a fresh page with nothing else on it because there's wayyyy too much junk going on on your pages.

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

xcandiottix i couldn't get it to work. This is what i put.

IN THE INDEX PAGE

<html>
<body>

// Banner 1's image code here

<img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/stevieterry/PhPHeader.jpg" width=60 height=60 />

<form action="bobbySmith.php" method="post"

enctype="multipart/form-data">

<input type="hidden" name="whichbanner" value="'banner1'">

<br><br><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Pick This One" /></p>

</form>

</body>

</html>

IN THE PHP PAGE

<html>
<body>

<?

$chosenbanner = $_POST['whichbanner']

if ($chosenbanner == banner1){

//echo "<img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/stevieterry/PhPHeader.jpg"/>

";

}

?>

</body>

</html>

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

ignace Yours worked to where people can only pick one. But it didnt print over to the .php page when i checked the picture.

Heres what i had

INDEX CODE

<fieldset>
<form method = "post"

action = "hiUser.php">

<label>

Choose A Header:

</label>

<img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/stevieterry/GOOD1.jpg" width=60 height=60 />

<input type="radio"

name = "header"

value="1" />

<img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/stevieterry/PhPHeader2.jpg" width=60 height=60 />

<input type="radio"

name = "header"

value="2" />

<img src="http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn55/stevieterry/PhPHeader.jpg" width=60 height=60 />

<input type="radio"

name = "header"

value="3" />

.PHP PAGE

<?php

if (isset($_POST['header'])) {

$header = intval($_POST['header']);

//echo $header; // outputs: 1, 2 or 3

//..

}

?>

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

Could this line of code be blocking the image from showing up maybe?

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="ffffff" link="#66cc00" vlink="#9999ff" alink="#cc0000">

Im just guessing... Im really confused atm and its almost 6am here lol. I have to get this done though.

ignace · March 26, 2010

try this:

if (isset($_POST['header'])) {
    $header = intval($_POST['header']);
    echo 'You choose: ', $header; // outputs: 1, 2 or 3
    //..
}

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

Maybe im doing something wrong.

See http://roecomputer.com/stevie4/test2/index2.html

Who the hell is teaching you PHP? If that's homework, You've got a lot to do. Filter_var, I wonder why that function exists.. doesn't do much.

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

lol oni-kun that link was cool.

My teacher is great. Im just very new to PhP this the first of my first year of learning it.

Could you help me out? You seem to know alot.

Wolphie · March 26, 2010

Who the hell is teaching you PHP? If that's homework, You've got a lot to do. Filter_var, I wonder why that function exists.. doesn't do much.

http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php does a lot, actually.

oni-kun · March 26, 2010

http://php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php does a lot, actually.

No it doesn't. If he wants to practise proper security, then he should do it himself.

lol oni-kun that link was cool.

Use htmlspecialchars() on the $_POST query, as you're allowing HTML/JS (thus what we call XSS) on the server, this obviously doesn't matter in this test, but in production there can be major security flaws and problems down the road. Here are a few functions to look into:

htmlspecialchars

strip_tags

mysql_real_escape_string (when working with DB transactions)

Wolphie · March 26, 2010

No it doesn't. If he wants to practise proper security, then he should do it himself.

His use of it doesn't provide a lot of security no, and that function isn't really designed for security. It's designed and it is there for validation purposes and when used correctly, it's very useful, and powerful.

oni-kun · March 26, 2010

Powerful? I could mimick the function entirely in <12 lines. It's relying on a predefined security measure, such as Magic quotes, It's pointless.

ignace · March 26, 2010

Who the hell is teaching you PHP?

If you are amazed over this then you should have seen the things that a teacher wrote in front of class on his beamer in college. And let me tell you that they do not like it when you point out their mistake(s)... Hell I heard they had an internal team working on their website.. and yeah those bugs were present there to. Login was as simple as:

' OR 1=1 --

I even had once a teacher which was a head of a company that created websites for big clients and had their framework open-sourced. So when I took a peak at the code...

stupid21 · March 26, 2010

Can someone please help me with this. :confused:

stupid21 · March 29, 2010

Bump. :confused:

jcbones · March 29, 2010

One last hint:

You are using a black background:

if (isset($_POST['header'])) {
    $header = intval($_POST['header']);
    echo '<span style="color:white;">You choose: ' . $header . '</span>; // outputs: 1, 2 or 3
    //..
}
