Php Issues? Php Not Receiving Post Data From Htmll Form

gdisalvo · December 30, 2012

Hello everyone,

I hope you guys can help me out as this has stumped me. I am new to PHP and creating web sites.

I setup XAMPP - working great

Created websites with nice menus - working great.

Create PHP database code and working great.

I tried to build a registration form and then move the data to the database. It was working fine as a stand alone form and several PHP includes plus the action from the form. These were working great until I moved the entire set into another HTML form. I tried to embeed the form in the main website it it crashed. I removed the form and replace the old page on the site.

Now back to the problem, the form was working and now it does not want to do the php after the action.

I fire up the form, enter data, hit submit, and then it pass over to the php but nothing. Sometimes I get ?> sometimes nothing? What could be the issue with the form or the PHP or both?

Here is the code for the form and the PHP action. The code may not be perfect and I expect syntax issue once it starts to run.

If you have xampp and have some time, please take a look at the form and see if the data is getting to POST.

Thank,

G

You'll get a better response if you post the code in the thread, within

. . .

tags, rather than hope people will download and open random files from the internet.

Here is the code- added form to database : RegSubmit.php from hell :

=================================================== Below =======================

include ("incecho.php");

include ("RegVariables.php");

include ("incecho2.php");

/* Database Connect */

include ("RegConnect.php");

/* Query for Parents record in database*/

include ("RegQueryParents.php");

/* Database Insert for Parents*/

include ("RegInsertParents.php");

/* Database Update for Parents*/

include ("RegUpdateParents.php");

/* Database Insert for Swimmers*/

include ("RegInsertSwimmer.php");

/* Database Insert for Medical*/

include ("RegInsertMedical.php");

mysql_free_result($result);

=========================================================================

The Echo includes are not getting fired off.

include ("incecho.php"); - echos all form entries

include ("RegVariables.php"); - Move all form entries to variables ( no validation yet )

include ("incecho2.php"); - Echo movement of the new variables

/* Database Connect */

include ("RegConnect.php"); - standard connect to database

/* Query for Parents record in database*/

include ("RegQueryParents.php"); - standard query for main table to check for parent ID (used in other tables) checking user name if already registered

/* Database Insert for Parents*/

include ("RegInsertParents.php"); - No ID - do insert

/* Database Update for Parents*/

include ("RegUpdateParents.php"); - If ID present than update information that is new

/* Database Insert for Swimmers*/

include ("RegInsertSwimmer.php"); - simple insert no validate yet

/* Database Insert for Medical*/

include ("RegInsertMedical.php") - simple insert no validate yet

I will include echo files below to test on your side.

Jeeze. I said relevant code.

You might also note that code posted around here is syntax highlighted. This is because when code is posted, it needs to be surrounded in

tags.

gdisalvo · January 2, 2013

oh - sorry about that. Next time I will post it with those tags to show it is code.

I came back because I found the answer. But before I close this thread, I would like to post the answer and get a follow up question.

This is a strange answer I found while search google and other postings. It is very obscure because the person said that he used 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost and it worked for him. Well, it worked for me too.

So my question is can I have both? Can I execute the html code with localhost and then with 127.0.0.1 if I want? Is this something that I have to change in the host files on the drivers ETC folder?

I thought I only needed to change that for the email functions?

how can I assure my laptop system to always pick the correct host and not spin into chaos. I think I wasted about 8 days looking for this answer and testing out every possible choice including looking at the code for syntax errors.

so simple.

If someone knows I will check back and close this problem with a solved.

DavidAM · January 2, 2013

Yes, you can have both. The IP Address 127.0.0.1 is, by standard, defined as the "loop-back" address. It loops back to the machine that sends to it. It should be active on any computer that has a network card. The host name localhost is typically assigned to this address. The assignment is made in the /etc/hosts file. There is no requirement that it be there, but it usually comes that way (in my experience).

The /etc/hosts file is a lookup file used by the networking layer. Think of it as a simple DNS lookup table that is specific to your system. It is used before going out to the DNS servers. It will be searched when using the browser, or any other application that needs an IP address from a hostname.

Christian F. · January 2, 2013

If it worked with 127.0.0.1 and not the localhost address, then you had a problem which prevented you from connecting to the database. A problem caused by PHP not being able to find the mysql.sock^[1] file at the specified location.

For most things the 127.0.0.X addresses and localhost are identical, but not so in the case of MySQL. The former creates a TCP connection to the local computer, while the latter tries to open a Unix socket connection. This socket is created as a file on the local file system, and does not involve any actual networking at all.

So, I would recommend that you find the correct location of the socket file, and set the proper path in the php.ini file. That will allow you to use localhost as your MySQL host.

^[1] It can also be called mysqld.sock, and is usually found in /tmp/ or /var/run/mysqld/. Depending upon your distro.
