[SOLVED] php changed form action="" content when it is not suppose to???

[darksniperx]

<?php
function showEntry()
{
$form = new forms; // create an instance of selected class
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php $form->formSwitch(); ?>" onsubmit="validator()">
...

 

after I press submit, php changes the form tag to:

 

<form method="post" action="1 record added to Entry 1 record added" onsubmit="validator()">

 

forms.php only echoes the status of submission, if the form was submitted or not, but instead of echo in the the body of html content it echoes inside action="" attribute. Also is there anyway to change so that I could use forms.php instead of $form->formSwitch(); in action attribute, because forms.php is a class it doesnt let just pass $_POST variables. Also right now my index.php that contains a form, upon submission reloads the form, is there anyway I can change it so it would load a blank page that would display the status of submission?

 

here is the code in forms.php

<?php
class forms
{
	var $script;
//temporary variables to use with forms
	var $js_script;
	var $css_script;
	var $body_onload_content;
	var $body_content;

function forms()
    {

	include_once 'fusion.php';
    	$this->fusion = new fusion;

    }
function formSwitch()
{
	if($_POST)
	{
		//when form is being submitted, the following verifyies which form then loads appropriate methods.
		if($_POST['form_feed_submit'])
		{
			$this->formFeed_submit();
		}
		else if($_POST['formEntry_submit'])
		{
			$this->formEntry_submit();
		}
		else if($_POST['form_person_submit'])
		{
			$this->formPerson_submit();
		}

		else if($_POST['form_category_submit'])
		{
			$this->formCategory_submit();
		}

		else if($_POST['form_link_submit'])
				{
					$this->formLink_submit();
		}
		else if($_POST['form_feed_edit'])
				{
					$this->formFeed_update_submit();
		}
		else
		{
			echo "nothing";
		}
	}
}

//sets variable data that will be later used in the forms
function setFormData($formName)
{
	include $formName . '.php';
	include '../scripts/' . $formName . '_js_script.php';
	$this->js_script = 'show' . $formName . 'JS';
	$this->body_onload_content = "onload='loader();'";
	$this->body_content = 'show'.$formName; 
}

//outputs data that is suppose to be in header tag
function outputHeaderData()
{
	echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
	echo "\n";
	$x = $this->js_script;	
	$x();
	echo "</script>";
	echo "\n";	
}

//output data inside body tag
function ouputBodyAttributeData()
{
	echo $this->body_onload_content;
}

//writes form data to html file for the requested form
function outputForm()
{
	$x = $this->body_content;
	$x();
}

//prints the data from category table with check boxes

function printCategoryBoxes()
{
	$this->fusion->dbConnect();
	$this->fusion->selectDb();
	$category = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM category") OR die(mysql_error());
	while($cat = mysql_fetch_array($category))
	{
		echo "<label><input type='checkbox' name='cat_id[]' value='".$cat['cat_id']."'/>".$cat['c_label']."</label>";
	}
	$this->fusion->closeDbConnection();
}

//return uuid to the user
function getUUID()
{
	echo 'URN:UUID:' . strtoupper($this->fusion->getUUID());
}


function formEntry_submit()
{
$this->fusion->dbConnect();
$this->fusion->selectDb();

	$search = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM entry ORDER BY entry_id DESC");
	//get the next free entry spot
	$last = mysql_fetch_array($search);
	$newEntryNumber = $last['entry_id']+1;

	//set date to proper format
	$date = $_POST['published_yyyy']."-".$_POST['published_mo']."-".$_POST['published_dd']."T".
	$_POST['published_hh'].":".$_POST['published_mi'].":".$_POST['published_ss']."".$_POST['published_zone'];

	//insert into table entry
	$this->fusion->addToEntry($newEntryNumber,$_POST['e_base'],$_POST['e_lang'],
	$_POST['id_base'],$_POST['id_lang'],$_POST['id_uri'],
	$_POST['title_base'],$_POST['title_lang'],$_POST['title_type'],$_POST['title_text'],
	$_POST['updated_base'],$_POST['updated_lang'],$_POST['updated_date'],
	$_POST['content_lang'],$_POST['content_base'],$_POST['content_type'],$_POST['content_text'],
	$_POST['published_base'],$_POST['published_lang'],$date,
	$_POST['rights_base'],$_POST['rights_lang'],$_POST['rights_type'],$_POST['rights_text'],
	$_POST['summary_base'],$_POST['summary_lang'],$_POST['summary_type'],$_POST['summary_text'],"",
	$_POST['content_src'],$_POST['source_base'],$_POST['source_lang'],$_POST['source_metadata']);
}

because one of the function form->formSwitch(); is echoing that..

why not just put the File path in? or do

<?php
function showEntry()
{
$form = new forms; // create an instance of selected class
$form->formSwitch();
?>
<form method="post" onsubmit="validator()">
...

I tryed to file path

 

<form method="post" action="forms.php" onsubmit="validator()">

 

I get a blank page when I submit a form. forms.php a class and doesnt want to accept $_POST variables, unless I do $form->formSwitch(); if I knew how to go around it. Also does php has a function to stop what ever it is doing including stopping the page load, etc...

I think you are going about this the wrong way.

 

the action attribute basically tells your scrpt where to send the data to. You need a post/get processing page and in that page you call the $form->formSwitch(); method to handle the post results. Understand?

 

//forms.php

class forms{

formSwitch(){

//do stuff with post vars

}

}

 

$form = new forms();

$form->formSwitch();

//end forms.php

[darksniperx]

before <form>

 

I have added if($_POST)

{

$form->formSwitch();

}

 

and that has fixed all of my problems, thx..
