HTML button does not execute PHP section

tiger98_adny · April 20, 2017

Hi Everyone

I am new to php so I have a simple HTML button when pushed with username and password should execute php server side. Nothing happens when it pushed. Looking for any guidance here. below is section of webpage i trying to figure out

<input type="text" id="tbUsername" class="form-control"

placeholder="Username">

</div>

<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa

fa-lock"></i></span>

<input type="password" id="tbPassword"

class="form-control" placeholder="Password">

</div>

<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"

id="btnActivate"><i class="fa fa-power-off"></i> Activate Service</button>

</div>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['btnActivate']))

{

$path = '\\server\C$\\test\bulk.bat';

$tbPassword = "UserName";

$tbUsername = "Password";

$drive_letter = "Q";

system("net use ".$drive_letter.": \"".$path."\" ".$tbPassword." corp/user:".$tbUsername." /persistent:no>nul 2>&1;");

$location = $drive_letter.":$path";

if ($handle = opendir($location)) {

while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle)))

exec("C:\Windows\\System32/cmd.exe $location'");

closedir($handle);

}

?>

</body>

</html>

The way your code is structured suggests you're trying to use a

(whose markup isn't included in your post, or judging by the lack of closing doesn't exist at all), which is fine, but your "submit" button is type=button which actually makes it a button that doesn't do anything. It needs to be a type=submit.

You know that this will do a net use on the server, right? Not on the client?

here is the whole page I should have given everything up front but i did change the type to submit as you suggested and still something is missing. everything has to happen server side

<!DOCTYPE html>

</div>

<span class="input-group-addon"><i class="fa

<input type="password" id="tbPassword"

class="form-control" placeholder="Password">

</div>

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default"

id="btnActivate"><i class="fa fa-power-off"></i> Activate Service</button>

</div>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['btnActivate']))

{

$path = '\\server\C$\\test\bulk.bat';

$tbPassword = "UserName";

$tbUsername = "Password";

$drive_letter = "Q";

system("net use ".$drive_letter.": \"".$path."\" ".$tbPassword." corp/user:".$tbUsername." /persistent:no>nul 2>&1;");

$location = $drive_letter.":$path";

if ($handle = opendir($location)) {

while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle)))

exec("C:\Windows\\System32/cmd.exe $location'");

closedir($handle);

}

?>

}

?>

</body>

You also need a

. And you have to name the inputs.

Or switch to AJAX, but that would come with more changes you'd have to make anyways.
