How do i use $_POST?

HeinekenBeer

Hey

I want to post values from a form into anohter page. I cant just use the action code because the form i want to get the values from, i use with some ohter php codes on the same page.

Take a look:

<form method='POST'>
                        <select name='hh'>
                        <option value='9'>Silkeborg IF</option>
                        <option value='10'>Aab</option>
                        <option value='11'>OB</option>
                        <option value='12'>Vejle</option>
                        <option value='13'>Viborg FF</option>
                        <option value='14'>Esbjerg IF</option>
                        <option value='15'>FC København</option>
                        <option value='16'>Brøndby IF</option>
                        <option value='17'>AC Horsens</option>
                        <option value='18'>Randers FC</option>
                        <option value='19'>FC Nordsjælland</option>
                        <option value='20'>FC Midtjylland</option>
                        </select>

                    <input type='text' name='h'>
                    <br><br>
                    <select name='uh'>
                    <option value='9'>Silkeborg IF</option>
                    <option value='10'>Aab</option>
                    <option value='11'>OB</option>
                    <option value='12'>Vejle</option>
                    <option value='13'>Viborg FF</option>
                    <option value='14'>Esbjerg IF</option>
                    <option value='15'>FC København</option>
                    <option value='16'>Brøndby IF</option>
                    <option value='17'>AC Horsens</option>
                    <option value='18'>Randers FC</option>
                    <option value='19'>FC Nordsjælland</option>
                    <option value='20'>FC Midtjylland</option>
                    </select>

                    <input type='text' name='g'>
                    <br><br>
                    <input type='submit' value='Indsend resultat'>
                    </form>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

<?php
include('../mysql_connect.php');

$hh	= $_POST["hh"]; 
$uh	= $_POST["uh"]; 

//Antal mål i kampen
$h	= $_POST["h"];
$g	= $_POST["g"];

if (isset($hh) && isset($uh)) { //Tjekker om variablerne er tomme

if ($h > $g) {

$query1 = mysql_query("SELECT P, V, K, U, MI, MU, T FROM sas_liga_06 WHERE ID = $hh");
$query3 = mysql_query("SELECT P, V, K, U, MI, MU, T FROM sas_liga_06 WHERE ID = $uh");

$query2 = mysql_query("SELECT Klub, P, V, K, U, MI, MU, T FROM sas_liga_06");

 echo "<table class='storybox'>";
	while ($mysql_data = mysql_fetch_array($query2)){
		$klub	= $mysql_data['Klub'];
		$k		= $mysql_data['K'];
		$u		= $mysql_data['U'];
		$t		= $mysql_data['T'];
		$MI		= $mysql_data['MI'];
		$MU		= $mysql_data['MU'];
		$point	= $mysql_data['P'];


	echo "<tr><td>".$klub."</td><td>".$point."</td></tr><br>";

}
echo "</table>";

There is more code than this, but my quesstion is. How do i get the values that the form generates posted on anohter page on my website?

You'll either need to post the form to this other page, or save them into the $_SESSION array and pass them that way.

HeinekenBeer

could you give an example?

Alrighty then
test.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
   <head> 
      <title>Form Test</title>
      <meta http-equiv="generator" content="PHP Designer 2006 - BETA" />
   </head>
   <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000FF" vlink="#800080" alink="#FF0000">
   	<table border='1' bordercolor='lightblue'><tr>
	<form action='testPost.php' method='post'>
	<td>Enter First Name: <input type='text' name='firstname' />
	Enter Last Name: <input type='text'name='lastname' /></td></tr>
	<tr><td>Select A Username : <input type='text' name='username' />
	Enter A Valid E-mail: <input type='text' name='email' />
	<tr><td>Select A Password : <input type='password' name='password' />
	Confirm Password : <input type='password' name='password2' /></td></tr>
	<tr><td align='center'><input type='submit' name='check' value='Register' /></td></tr>
	</form>
	</table>
   </body>
</html>

testPost.php

<?php
if($_POST['check']=='Register'){ 
//create some short variables out of post variables
$first=$_POST['firstname'];
$last=$_POST['lastname'];
$mail=$_POST['email'];
$username=$_POST['username'];
$pass=$_POST['password'];
$pass2=$_POST['password2'];
}
if($pass!=$pass2){
  echo "<span style='color:red'>The passwords you entered do not match!</span><br />";
  echo "Either press your browser back button or click <a href='test.html'>here</a> to go back!";
}
	else {
	  echo "Thank you $first $last for signing up to the website <br />Your selected username <b>$username</b> ";
	  echo "will be required to login. <br />You will also have to enter your password <b>$pass</b>. <br />You will soon ";
	  echo "recieve an e-mail with an activation link.<br /> You should get it within 10 minutes to your email ";
	  echo "at <br /><b>$mail</b>.";
	}
//do more stuff here if ya want 
?>

There ya go

hey ,

to use Post Form variables ... You should just type :

<?php

        echo $_POST["field"];

?>

with replacing field with the field name within the posted form ....

and you sould send GET variable or another POST one to know what do you want to do ...

like (page.php?do=register)

this will make the program understand that you want to register ...

and then , you must check it by :

<?php

if ($_GET["do"] == "register") {
            // continue here
}

?>

this is just a simple code .. if u want more just ask .. and i and all the members will help you ..

I don't need anyone to register.... i just need the value from a form posted on anohter page, without using the action code. Plz read the first thread to see what i mean.

thorpe

And which part of Houdini's solution do you not understand?

Houdini

Hmmm so you said this:

I cant just use the action code because the form i want to get the values from, i use with some ohter php codes on the same page.

Then if you do not use an action the this will cause the page to post to itself. Is this what you are wanting to do? So then you would just include the PHP either within the form embedded like

<input type = "text"  name = "fieldname" value = "<?php echo $_POST['fieldname'] ?>" />

What i want is this:
The code i posted in the first thread, is some of the code, which updates this league table:
http://88.212.65.95/sasliga.php

by using this page:
http://88.212.65.95/administration/sasliga.php

which is the page that is part created by the code i posted. There is more code, but the only thing i need is to get the result of the two matches, printed on this page:
http://88.212.65.95 /fixture.php

under "Resultat"

So i need the values created by the form, on administration/sasliga.php, which make the result of the match, printed on fixture.php.

Dont know if i explained it correctly, but i still hope you can help me. I pretty new at PHP (if you haven't noticed) :-p.

I can post all the code, if someone want to fix it for me. It proppely dont take more than 2 min, if you know what to do.

i think u want to make the same what (action) property do ... but without specifying it ... if that right you should do what has been explained above ...

But if the matter being more difficult .. or if it looks like another method ... you should add me at MSN Messenger : Af_samhouri@hotmail.com .... And i'll help u as i can .... 🙂
