Formvalues, get them sticky to next page

aoz

HAve a major concern now.

This is signup.php
The user fills in desired ID, PASS, wheter MALE or FEMALE and last geocraphical place (call it north west, south ...)

index.php
It is on this page the visitor gets info about a randimly picked user. To make it possible to choose the sex of the user and geographical place I use 2 forms:
- 1 pulldown menu where the user choose SEX
- 1 radiobuttonset where he choose location

And one other radiobutton set is finally used for the visitor to click wheter he like or didnt like the users info. This radiobutton is also used to update the page with another users info!!

The SEX pulldown and the geographical radiobutton should have the functionality to remember the choosen values until the user changes it (or simply not browse my webbsite anymore).

The visitor should therefore be able to choose to view info on only MEN and on MEN who are from NORTH and so on... And when the radiobutton to update the page is clicked the page should continue to show info on desired values.

Dont matter if all are combined in to one FORM-tag or whatever, just the funcion works. please help.

code for location radiobuttons:

<?
if (isset($_post['kateg']) and $POST['kateg'] != "")
{
$kategecho = "<input type=\"hidden\" name =\"kateg\" value=\"$kateg\">";
}
?>
<form action="index.php" name="kateg" method="post"> 
<select name="kateg" onclick="this.form.submit()"> 
              <input type="radio" value="S"<?php echo ($_POST["kateg"] == "S" ? "SELECTED" : ""); ?> name=kateg onclick="this.form.submit()">SOUTH<br>
			<input type="radio" value="N"<?php echo ($_POST["kateg"] == "N" ? "SELECTED" : ""); ?> name=kateg onclick="this.form.submit()">NORTH<br>
			<input type="radio" value="E"<?php echo ($_POST["kateg"] == "E" ? "SELECTED" : ""); ?> name=kateg onclick="this.form.submit()">East            <? echo $kateg; ?>
</form>

code for sex:

<form>
<select name="kon" onchange="this.form.submit()">
<option onchange="this.form.submit()" value="F" <?php echo ($_POST["kon"] == "F" ? "SELECTED" : ""); ?>>Female</option> 
<option onchange="this.form.submit()" value="M" <?php echo ($_POST["kon"] == "M" ? "SELECTED" : ""); ?>>MALE</option> 
<option value="">Show both</option> 

</select> 
</form>

and finally the radiobutton that updates the page:

<form action="index.php" name="allform" method="post" onchange="this.form.submit()"> 
                 <input type=hidden name=op value=rate>
                        <input type=hidden name=id value="<? print($id); ?>">
                        <tr> 
                          <td colspan=3 align=center><table width=350 bgcolor="#CC3333" >
                              <tr> 
                                <td valign=bottom><input type=radio name=r value=1 onclick="this.form.submit()"> 
                                  <font size=1 >good</font></td>
                                <td valign=bottom><input type=radio name=r value=2 onclick="this.form.submit()"> 
                                  <font size=1 >bad</font></td><input type=hidden name=rate value=1>
                      </form>

It works pretty good now but when I choose something from the location buttons then it wont update the page after i click the buttons that updates the page, it just struggeling finally showing a 404 error.... Also the sex pulldown always initally is FEMALE....

I am bahaack... 😃

Eerrghh..
WHY do you update the formwhen people select a sex, and when people select a location AND people press a radio-button. Isn't that asking for trouble?

BEsides that..

your sex will always stay on female, unless you set the selected. But this will only work when you have submitted the sex form. So if you use the drop-down menu, you lose the value of sex, since they are in different forms..

I suggest:
Don't reload the page every time (People are capable of selecting both sex and location ?) and reload only when they hit submit. THen you load the page again, with the submitted value "checked".

An other option is to extend the javascript to a function, which you call every time people change something (onchange="submitforms()" ).

<script language="javascript">
function submitforms()
{
kateg.form.submit();
kon.form.submit();
allform.form.submit;
}
</script>

I am not really strong in hjavascript, so not sure wether this works straight away. But you'll get the idea.

hehehe my angel in the cyperspace... leatherback...

Every form is updated because the visitor shall be able to make a variety of selection.

Mmhhhh can you expand the javascript theory a bit?

aoz

one strange thing with the codes that I posted in the first post is that the radiobttons for location is checked correctly but only the first option (North) works when I submit and update the page with the other radiobutton-set. If I choose South or anything else and the clock on the update radiobutton then it just keep on giving 404 errors after approx 3-4min

I cant see the reason for this

aoz

ok have located that this posting error giving 404 error depends on where I place the

<? echo $kategecho; ?>

If I place it inside the radiobutton set that updates the page then It locks and 404 is coming up. If I place it anywhere else I seem to loose the "checked" value of the forms...

where shall it be placed?

edit: the kategecho gives :$kategecho = "<input type=\"hidden\" name =\"kateg\" value=\"$kateg\">";

Hi,

This will retain the checkboxes & the dropdown menu, untill the last set of checkboxes is changed. Then they are all reset.

<?

   if(!isset($_POST))
     {
     reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
     while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) 
     {}
     }
     else
     {
     extract($_POST); 
     }

 if (isset($kateg) and ($kateg != ""))
{
$katecho = "<input type=\"hidden\" name =\"kateg\" value=\"$kateg\">";
}

if (isset($kon) and ($kon != ""))
{
$konecho = "<input type=\"hidden\" name =\"kon\" value=\"$kon\">";
}

?>
<form action="aoztest.php" name="kateg" method="post"> 

<input type="radio" value="S"<?php echo ($kateg == "S" ? "checked" : ""); ?>
name=kateg onclick="this.form.submit()">SOUTH<br>
<input type="radio" value="N"<?php echo ($kateg == "N" ? "checked" : ""); ?>
name=kateg onclick="this.form.submit()">NORTH<br>
<input type="radio" value="E"<?php echo ($kateg == "E" ? "checked" : ""); ?>
name=kateg onclick="this.form.submit()">East

<option onchange="this.form.submit()" value="M" <?php echo ($kon == "M" ? "SELECTED" : ""); ?>>MALE</option> 
<option value="">Show both</option> 
</select> 
<? echo $katecho; ?>
</form>

<form action="aoztest.php" " name="allform" method="post" onchange="this.form.submit()"> 
                 <input type=hidden name=op value=rate>

                                <td valign=bottom><input type=radio name=r value=2 onclick="this.form.submit()"> 
                                  <font size=1 >bad</font></td><input type=hidden name=rate value=1>
  <? echo $konecho; ?>
  <? echo $katecho; ?>

</form>

aoz

but the thing is that I dont want em to be reseted... can it be done?

leatherback

Did you try the form?

(I lied about the resetting. Only the last buttonset is reset..)

😃

aoz

hehe nice work....

no didnt tun the code, gonna do it though.

I thought the code was too much if resetting....

Thanks once again for spended time and effort!! Let you know how it goes.. (today or tomorrow)

aoz

mmhh found some bugs with that code...

First it seems that the location form is the one that affects the output. If I keep on switching between MEN and FEMALE it doesn't show the one it should.... its keep on mixing.

But it seems to work if I first choose sex and THEN location...

MAybe you can see the errors?

leatherback

Sorry, but nope.

Ran it on my server here, and no flaws what soever..

aoz

no?? strange... I even get that 404 error after a couple of minutes on some combinations..

aoz

leatherback,

correct mem if I'm wrong but your code above doesnt work with REGISTER GLOBALS = OFF ????
