allie.nicole Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi everyone! So, I have recently become interested in the world of webpage design and HTML coding. Thus far, I have created a few simple HTML webpages, the first of which includes some basic facts and information on the state of NC. Everything has gone rather smoothly for me until this point, but I would now like to incorporate a bit of PHP into my knowledge of web development. First, I would like to include a form on my NC page that once submitted, goes to a new PHP page displaying the inputted data to the screen. On the new page, I am attempting to include files: a header and footer. On my other couple of pages for which I would like to add server side includes. And lastly, if possible, it would be great if I could learn how to add some additional features like sending e-mails or displaying the date. Any advice or tips on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated!

Zane Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Alright Allie, welcome. First off, it would help a lot more if you post the HTML code you already have for the NC page. Then I can explain to you how the data is sent. Right now, all i can tell you is that the key to it is in your opening tag. You'll have attributes in it like - method ... This is the attribute that determines how your data is sent - action .... This is the attribute that contains your PHP file... for data reception. there are more, but there not exactly necessary at this time to know, but if you're curious. - name - enctype - and a few more that I can't remember.

Zane Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You don't need this line, because you've already opened the body tag .. right before your img tag. So get rid of that for starters. Next, you need to actually have a form. You can easily start one where you deleted that line I'm talking about. "Every kid - no matter where he or she lives in NC - must graduate from high school with what it really takes to succeed in a career, in a two- or four-year college or in Technical training." - NC Governor Beverly Perdue Interested in learning more about Governor Perdue and what she has done for the people of North Carolina?

Zane Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 So, given that you had no form to begin with, what exactly are you wanting in the form? - Dropdowns? - radio buttons - checkboxes - text inputs In other words... what is this form supposed to do?

allie.nicole Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thanks for the tutorial. I have worked on the HTML page a bit more, and I have decided to create a quiz on random facts about North Carolina. So far, I have created the code for most of the questions (I believe I will be using about 10, and I have created 7 so far). I also have my 'Submit' button in place. I am now at the stage where I'd like to be able to have the quiz scored automatically. Once the 'Get Score' button is clicked, I want to have the results of the quiz displayed on the PHP page. Below is the code that I have finished so far on the HTML page: <html> <head> <title>All About North Carolina!</title> </head> <body bgcolor="lightblue"> <img src=http://www.vincecartersanctuary.org/Portals/61544/images//NCSateFlag.jpg align="right" height="100" width="100" alt="Official Flag of the State of NC"/> <h2>North Carolina</h2> <h3><blockquote>"Every kid - no matter where he or she lives in NC - must graduate from high school with what it really takes to succeed in a career, in a two- or four-year college or in Technical training."</blockquote><br/> <P ALIGN="RIGHT">- NC Governor Beverly Perdue</h3> <P><P><em>Interested in learning more about Governor Perdue and what she has done for the people of North Carolina? <a href="http://www.state.nc.us"><b>Click here</a></b> to visit the Official Web Site of the State of NC.</em></P></P> <P> <blockquote>Have you enjoyed the tidbits of information provided here about the Tar Heel State?

Zane Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Looks good Allie, ... you don't exactly have a doctype set so telling you to change to won't make much difference. Maybe you just forgot to post the rest of your HTML, because the bottom half is missing. There is no submit button for your second form (The quiz form).. which I don't understand why it points to NorthCarolina.php Your first form points to quizresults.php, but it only has two form fields... do you even need that form anymore? tags are automatically put on another line.. so there's no point in having a after each list item .. aka So long as you have a submit button, you should be ready for your PHP.. This will involve using arrays and the use of the isset function. The first thing to do in your PHP script... that is after you fix your HTML.. is to check for the submit button In order to check for it, it must have a name. So if your submit button looks like this Your PHP will look something like this if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { /* Quiz grading code inside here */ } ?> If you can, provide me with a link to your page so I can see what it looks like.. and offer a few tips Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249821-posting-form-data/#findComment-1282488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
allie.nicole Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi Zane, At first, I thought that <br /> was the correct way to enter it, but then again I wasn't sure if it made much difference - regardless, I have corrected that. I looked back over my last post, and it looks like I accidentally left out the line of code that creates my 'Submit' button - sorry about that. I know that the <li> tags will be put on another line, but I entered the <br> to put an additional line between each of the questions so that it wouldn't look so crowded. Is there a better way to do this? I've removed the code for the first form and linked the existing one to quizresults.php. Also, I have completed the code for all of the quiz questions. My final HTML page looks something like this: <html> <head> <title>All About North Carolina!</title> </head> <body bgcolor="lightblue"> <img src=http://www.vincecartersanctuary.org/Portals/61544/images//NCSateFlag.jpg align="right" height="100" width="100" alt="Official Flag of the State of NC"/> <h2>North Carolina</h2> <h3><blockquote>"Every kid - no matter where he or she lives in NC - must graduate from high school with what it really takes to succeed in a career, in a two- or four-year college or in Technical training."</blockquote><br/> <P ALIGN="RIGHT">- NC Governor Beverly Perdue</h3> <P><P><em>Interested in learning more about Governor Perdue and what she has done for the people of North Carolina? <a href="http://www.state.nc.us"><b>Click here</a></b> to visit the Official Web Site of the State of NC.</em></P></P> <P> <P> <B><blockquote>How well do you know your facts about North Carolina?

Zane Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 You HTML looks pretty much perfect now. I know that the tags will be put on another line, but I entered the to put an additional line between each of the questions so that it wouldn't look so crowded. Is there a better way to do this? Yes, and it's called CSS (Cascading Stylesheets) I wouldn't worry about it right now, but all it involves is putting this in your head tag <br /> ol li {<br /> padding-bottom: 10px;<br /> }<br /> Now you need to post the code for your quizresults.php page if you have any at all..

Zane Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Close, but no cigar. First off, forget about tags and focus mainly on your PHP right now, you can add your HTML in later. The reason I say this is because you open an html tag and then close it directly before you display output. HTML output is meant to be inside those html tags, but regardless, you can still use HTML tags.. like etc... just fine. The browser will figure it out. As for your PHP, you're going about getting the data all wrong. $score=0; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } This part is the only part that's correct.. logic-wise. Syntax-wise, everything is fine. The point of having isset( $_POST['submit'] ) is to check that a user USED the form... Then, once you know that they used the form, you can do your coding... and you get your values the same way as the submit button For instance, if you want to check the value of no1, do this, similar to the way you did already. if ($_POST['no1'] =="B") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The American Dogwood is the state flower of NC."; } Note the use of TWO equals signs ... This is used to COMPARE Note the use of += to add onto $score Note the use of $errors[] it will add on to that array. Then you can just echo everything at once. There is plenty to learn and plenty more to learn, but see if you can take this and come up with something. Oh, and to show your errors.. use this little snippet of code at the end foreach($errors as $error) echo $error . " \n"; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249821-posting-form-data/#findComment-1282580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
allie.nicole Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 So, I have edited the code for the PHP file once again, and when trying to view it, I get this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\wamp\www\quizresults.php on line 103. After looking at Line 103, it looks like the only thing that line contains is a piece of code for a paragraph break.

allie.nicole Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 Again, I have modified my PHP code to correct what seemed to be the issue by choosing to remove all HTML code.

allie.nicole Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have done a bit more work on the PHP file - I decided to make it simpler by removing all of the HTML. Once I did that, I no longer get the same error, but this error appears instead: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES or T_CURLY_OPEN in C:\wamp\www\quizresults.php on line 82 It looks like Line 82 is a couple of lines below the closing tag of the code. After my edits, my code looks like this: <?php phpinfo(); ?> <?php $score=0; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } if ($_POST['no1'] =="B") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The American Dogwood is the state flower of NC."; } if ($_POST['no2'] =="false") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "False.

Based on what I have learned so far, everything looks to be consistent, but apparently my browser is expecting something else. Hopefully, I didn't create any more issues with the edits I did, and it is just a simple fix that I don't recognize because I am not yet too familiar with PHP. Does anyone have an idea regarding why I cannot get rid of this error?

The state bird of NC is the cardinal."; } if($_POST['no3'] =="C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Raleigh is the capital of NC."; } if($_POST['no4'] == "true") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no5'] == "D") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no6'] == "true") { $score += 10; } if($_POST['no7'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Though all of these are mountain ranges, the Appalachians is the only one found in NC."; } if($_POST['no8'] == "A") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "The historical marine base, Cherry Point, is located in the town of Havelock, NC."; } if($_POST['no9'] == "true") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Tobacco is one of the leading industries in NC. Others include chemical products and textiles."; } if($_POST['no10'] == "C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Charlotte is the largest city in NC."; echo" Your score on the All About North Carolina quiz is ".$score; } ?> Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249821-posting-form-data/#findComment-1282898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zane Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { } You get a blank page because of this.... if($_POST['no10'] == "C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Charlotte is the largest city in NC."; echo" Your score on the All About North Carolina quiz is ".$score; } If you answer incorrectly for question 10 it will echo something, because you end your else brace after your score statement... You need to end the else BEFORE the score statement. In other words,, your code should look like this ON TOP if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { and ON BOTTOM if($_POST['no10'] == "C") { $score += 10; } else { $errors[] = "Charlotte is the largest city in NC."; } echo "Your score on the All About North Carolina quiz is ".$score; } It really really REALLY helps to indent your code.
