paragoniq Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Hi Guys, I'm having some trouble running PHP scripts. I have two forms, each of which redirects to a PHP script (each PHP script is different, but essentially both have the same problem) as an action. The code is below. I'm hosted at Bluehost, which runs PHP on their servers so I know the tech is compatible. Thanks! Cheers! <html> <script type="text/php">include('newform.php');</script> <head> <title>TradeSquared></title> <p align="center">Trade Squared</p> </head> <body> <br> <br> <div align="center"> Create a new Listing: <form action="newform.php" method="get" name="newform"> Type:<select name="type"> <option value="book">Book</option> <option value="apt">Apartment</option> <option value="item">Class Items</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> <br> Search current Listings: <form action="searchform.php" method="get" name="searchform"> Type:<select name="type"> <option value="book">Book</option> <option value="apt">Apartment</option> <option value="item">Class Items</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit"/> </form> </div> </body> </html> This is the PHP code on which action redirects to <?php $type = $_GET=["type"]; if($type=="book") header("location:addbooklisting.html"); else if($type == "apt") header("location:aptform"); else header("location:itemform"); ?> Second page <html> <head> <title>Create New Book Listing</title> <p align="center"> <b>Create a New Book Listing</b> </p> </head> <body> <div align="center"> <br><br> <form name="addlisting" method="get" action="bookvalidation.php"> <table width="100" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center">Title </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="title"/> </td> </tr> <tr><td><p/></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Price </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center">$<input type="text" name="dollars" size="3"/>.<input type="text" name="cents" size="2"/> </td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">ISBN</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="text" name="isbn"/></td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Condition </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><select name="cond"> <option name="used">Used</option> <option name="new">New</option> </select> </td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center">Commentaries </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"><textarea rows="5" cols="30" name="comm"></textarea></td> </tr> <tr><td><br></td></tr> <tr> <td align="center"><input type="submit" value="Add Listing"/></td> </tr> </table> </form> </div> </body> </html> PHP code for second page <html> <head>Results</head> <body> The Following Occurred: <?php $title = $_GET["title"]; $dollar = $_GET["dollars"]; $cents = $_GET["cents"]; $price = $dollar.".".$cents $isbn = $_GET["isbn"]; $cond = $_GET["cond"]; $decide; $comments = $_GET["comm"]; for($i=0; $i<=12; i++) { if(ctype_digit($isbn)) $decide = true; else $decide = false; } if( !(($dollar && $cents)==int) ) echo "Price must be in numbers."; else if($decide == false || strlen($isbn)!=13) echo "ISBN contains 13 characters and must be numbers only" else { $db=mysql_connect("localhost","username","pass!"); mysql_select_db("db_dataabse",$db); $dbsucces=mysql_query("INSERT INTO BookListings (Title, ISBN, Price, Condition, Comments) VALUES ('$title', '$isbn', '$price', '$cond', '$comments')"); if($dbsuccess==true) echo "Posting was succesful"; else echo"Unsuccesful log."; } ?> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/212314-trouble-running-php-scripts-as-actions-on-html-forms/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
