Multiple Forms/Info in 1 page, echo?

[jad3z]

Hello guys!

 

Thanks for reading my topic!

I am kinda new to PHP and i try to get all these forms in 1 page

Can you guys help me with that?
 
 
start.php

<?php
$file = 'user01.ini';
    
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    
    $data = '';
    foreach($_POST AS $name=>$value) {
        $data .= $name . '=' . $value .PHP_EOL;
    }
 
    file_put_contents($file, $data, LOCK_EX);
    if(file_exists($file)) {
        echo 'Saved in <a href="' . $file . '">' . $file . '</a>';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed';
    }
}
 
if(file_exists($file)) {
    $ini = parse_ini_file($file);
}
?>
<form method="POST">
 
<label>IP</label>
<input type="numbers" name="ip" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['ip']) ? $ini['ip'] : '127.0.0.1'); ?>" /><br />
 
<label>Users</label>
<input type="number" name="users" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['users']) ? $ini['users'] : '10'); ?>" /><br />
 
<label>Website</label>
<input type="text" name="website" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['website']) ? $ini['website'] : 'http://'); ?>" /><br />
 
<button>Start</button>
</form>

 
add.php

<?php
 $file = fopen("user01.ini","r");
  if(!file)
    {
      echo("ERROR:cant open file");
    }
    else
    {
      $buff = fread ($file,filesize("user01.ini"));
      print $buff;
    }
 
$file = 'user01.ini';
    
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    
    $data = '';
    foreach($_POST AS $name=>$value) {
        $data .= $name . '=' . $value .PHP_EOL;
    }
 
    file_put_contents($file, $data, LOCK_EX);
    if(file_exists($file)) {
        echo 'Saved in <a href="' . $file . '">' . $file . '</a>';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed';
    }
}
 
if(file_exists($file)) {
    $ini = parse_ini_file($file);
}
?>
<form method="POST">
 
<label>Add Users</label>
<input type="number" name="addusers" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['addusers']) ? $ini['addusers'] : '10'); ?>" /><br />
 
<button>Add</button>
<button>Stop</button>
</form>

 
stop.php

<?php
$file = 'user01.ini';
    
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    
    $data = '';
    foreach($_POST AS $name=>$value) {
        $data .= $name . '=' . $value .PHP_EOL;
    }
 
    file_put_contents($file, $data, LOCK_EX);
    if(file_exists($file)) {
        echo 'Saved in <a href="' . $file . '">' . $file . '</a>';
    } else {
        echo 'Failed';
    }
}
 
if(file_exists($file)) {
    $ini = parse_ini_file($file);
}
?>
<form method="POST">
 
<label>Server has stopped</label><br>
 
<label>IP</label>
<input type="numbers" name="ip" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['ip']) ? $ini['ip'] : '127.0.0.1'); ?>" /><br />
 
<label>Users/label>
<input type="number" name="users" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['users']) ? $ini['users'] : '10'); ?>" /><br />
 
<label>Website</label>
<input type="text" name="website" value="<?php echo (isset($ini['website']) ? $ini['website'] : 'http://'); ?>" /><br />
 
<button>Start</button>
</form>

 
Is it possible to code this on one page? Maby with echo function ?
 
start.php 
start > add.php (index.php?p=add)
 
add.php 
add > add.php (index.php?p=add)
stop > stop.php (index.php?p=stop)
 
stop.php
start > start.php (index.php?p=start)

Read thru your code but don't know what you are trying to do.  Can you at least describe your goal.  And - please define what you mean by page and form, just to be sure we agree.

you need a simple 'page controller' that will determine what action the code on the page takes and what content is displayed on the page when it receives a request. you can use a switch/case statement with an include statement in the different case conditions to include the appropriate code you need for each case.

Thanks for the response Gyer!

 

Do you got any examples?

 

Or tutorial/links ?

 

THanks in advanced

So, you could use a central php script that plays the role of a controller.

Then, based on the action, this central PHP script will choose which PHP (that you already have) to include.

<?php

switch ($action) {
    case "add":
        include 'add.php';
        break;
    case "start":
        include 'start.php';
        break;
    case "stop":
        include 'stop.php';
        break;
}

?>

So you need your form to always call this script and pass a parameter called "action" depending on the button clicked.

 

Does it make sense?
