Submit form, and it adds to a list of names.

[neogrant]

I want to create a simple form

====

Name

====

 

And want that to update real time onto the same page, so i end up with a list of names (after submission of the form)

 

Try searching, but still learning.

 

Any help appreciated.  Found your site via google and registered because it seemed the most active.  Thanks again

This question should be in the AJAX forum.

To do it via PHP, something like this should work.

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { //execute only if an item is posted.
$name = preg_replace('~([^a-zA-Z])~','',$_POST['name']) . "\n"; //strip out all but alpha characters in the posted name.
$file = fopen('names.txt','a'); //open file('names.txt') or create if it doesn't exist.
fwrite($file,$name); //write the name to the end of the file.
fclose($file); //close the file.
}
echo implode('<br />',file('names.txt'));  //print the contents to the page, one name per line.
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<label>Name: </label><br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value=" Submit " />
</form>

*modified for newline.

And want that to update real time onto the same page, so i end up with a list of names (after submission of the form)

 

I thought you said you wanted to do this real-time onto the same page?

That seems fine what we have right now..just another one for your tests

http://webisol.com/xwis/submit/

What is entered into the form i have here..

 

Is it possible to make those names click able links by the names that are in this website? http://xwis.net/ra2/players/

 

So e.g

 

We have neogrant on the list here, but i want a link on that profile http://xwis.net/ra2/players/neogrant/

 

I'm guessing it needs  http://xwis.net/ra2/players/$name?

 

[phpSensei]

You got it, just use the $name variable

[neogrant]

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { //execute only if an item is posted.
$name = preg_replace('~([^a-zA-Z])~','',$_POST['name']) . "\n"; //strip out all but alpha characters in the posted name.
$file = fopen('names.txt','a'); //open file('names.txt') or create if it doesn't exist.
fwrite($file,http://xwis.net/ra2/players/$name); //write the name to the end of the file.
fclose($file); //close the file.
}
echo implode('<br />',file('names.txt'));  //print the contents to the page, one name per line.
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<label>Name: </label><br />
<input type="text" name="name" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value=" Submit " />
</form>

The data your putting into the text file has to be in quotations..

 

 

fwrite($file,"<a href='http://xwis.net/ra2/players/$name'>".$name."</a>"); //write the name to the end of the file.

Hmm the links are then given <br> at the end?

[neogrant]

Tried to work it out but to no avail

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

When you type a nickname and submit it, you end up with a clicky link like so : http://xwis.net/ra2/players/neogrant%3Cbr%20/%3E  instead of http://xwis.net/ra2/players/neogrant/
