Form data formatting

tutorialstuff · January 23, 2008

Well I'm working on a form that eventually will have the data submitted to a database. I have everything working properly and the wa I want it to for now, it just seems like I have taken the long way around to get to where I want. Can anybody look at my php code and tell me how I can clean it up? Thanks!

<?php
include'../../connections/townnews.php';
mysql_select_db("tdn_com",$db);

function safe($val){
if (is_array($val)){
	foreach($val as $key => $v)
		$val[$key] = safe($v);
	return $val;
} else {
	if (get_magic_quotes_gpc())
		$val = stripslashes($val);
	return mysql_real_escape_string($val);
}
}

$_POST = safe($_POST);
$_GET = safe($_GET);
?>

<body>
<?php 
$section = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_POST['section']));
$name = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_POST['name']));
$assignmentdate = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_POST['assignmentdate']));
$wording = htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($_POST['wording']));
$wording = str_replace("rn", "<br />", $wording);
print "
$section<br />
$name<br />
$assignmentdate<br />
$wording"; 
?>
<form action="index.php" method="post">
<select name="section">
<?php
$announcement_type_query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `announcment_type` ORDER BY `section` ASC");
while($announcement_type_results=mysql_fetch_assoc($announcement_type_query)){
	print"<option value=\"$announcement_type_results[announcment_type_id]\">$announcement_type_results[section]</option>";
}
?>
</select>
<input type="text" name="name" value="" />
<script>DateInput('assignmentdate', true, 'MM/DD/YYYY')</script>
<textarea name="wording"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />

</form>
