Form sending host

fischer

Hello,

i have some little problems sending the host or domain name

<? print $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?>

with all other fields (name, address etc.) from my form.
A test can be seen here ... www.accesspoints.eu

Any suggestions how to solve or fix it?
I really really appriciate any help!

Thanks!

So, this is the process ....

<?php
include("formular/global.inc.php");
$errors=0;
$error="The following errors occured while processing your form input.<ul>";
pt_register('POST','DomainName');
pt_register('POST','OfferAmount');
pt_register('POST','FirstName');
pt_register('POST','LastName');
pt_register('POST','BusinessOrganization');
pt_register('POST','Email');
pt_register('POST','PhoneNumber');
pt_register('POST','FaxNumber');
pt_register('POST','Address');
pt_register('POST','City');
pt_register('POST','State');
pt_register('POST','ZIPPostalcode');
pt_register('POST','Country');
pt_register('POST','QuestionsComments');
if($OfferAmount=="" || $FirstName=="" || $LastName=="" || $Email=="" || $PhoneNumber=="" || $Address=="" || $City=="" || $State=="" || $ZIPPostalcode=="" || $Country=="" || $QuestionsComments=="" ){
$errors=1;
$error.="<li>You did not enter one or more of the required fields. Please go back and try again.";
}
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$Email)){
$error.="<li>Invalid email address entered";
$errors=1;
}
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$where_form_is="http".($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTPS"]=="on"?"s":"")."://".$SERVER_NAME.strrev(strstr(strrev($PHP_SELF),"/"));
$message="DomainName: ".$DomainName."
OfferAmount: ".$OfferAmount."
FirstName: ".$FirstName."
LastName: ".$LastName."
BusinessOrganization: ".$BusinessOrganization."
Email: ".$Email."
PhoneNumber: ".$PhoneNumber."
FaxNumber: ".$FaxNumber."
Address: ".$Address."
City: ".$City."
State: ".$State."
ZIPPostalcode: ".$ZIPPostalcode."
Country: ".$Country."
QuestionsComments: ".$QuestionsComments."
";
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail("xx@xx.xx","Domain Offer",$message,"From: xx@xx.xx");
$make=fopen("formular/admin/data.dat","a");
$to_put="";
$to_put .= $DomainName."|".$OfferAmount."|".$FirstName."|".$LastName."|".$BusinessOrganization."|".$Email."|".$PhoneNumber."|".$FaxNumber."|".$Address."|".$City."|".$State."|".$ZIPPostalcode."|".$Country."|".$QuestionsComments."
";
fwrite($make,$to_put);

header("Refresh: 0;url=thanks.html");
?><?php 
}
?>

and this is the php containing the form ....

While you're waiting for someone who's up to reading your code to come along, take a look at your (php.ini) short_open_tag setting and/or look at your html source for the form to see if the "DomainName" field is being set.

fischer

Thanks for your reply!

To be honest I already checked that! That`s why I need some help from someone
who needs just a closer look to see what I did wrong.

I hope its not necessary to check the whole script, because everything works fine,
only the domain name is not going to be sent with the other form fields.

So it would be great if anyone can say if this line is correct ...

<? print $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?> or how it can be send?

Many many thanks!

Hi,

I think the problem is one attribute of the input. Inputs with attribute disabled will note be submitted at all. Use the readonly attribute instead.

Inputs with readonly attribute depending on the browser look like standard inputs but you can't edit them. Use styles to change the background-color of readonly inputs so everyone can see that these inputs are not editable.

On a second thought:

Why not just displaying the host (without using an input at all) and using a hidden input to submit the value ?

I'd go that way.

Thomas

fischer

Vielen Dank für Deine Hilfe und den Tipp mit dem Hintergrund.

Kannst Du mir bitte kurz erklären was ein

readonly attribute ist, bzw. wo genau der Fehler liegt?

Schöne Grüße aus Pforzheim 🙂

Good idea but how to realize that.
I am not proud to say that my skills are very poor!

fischer

By the way, is it okay to start a php file without <?php and close it with ?> ???

Installer

It's okay, but it won't work.

fischer

Well, all html works great but the php doesn`t work!
How to rewrite this html to php file?

Thanks!

I am always getting a Parse error: with ...

<?php
$html = '

Php is such a nice language!?

tsinka

Greetings to Pforzheim 🙂

Why do you want to put the complete form into a string ? Do you need that form more than once ?

You can do something like

<?PHP
// some PHP code in the script
?>
<html>
....
</html>
<?PHP
// some other php code
?>

How exactly does the complete script look like ?

Thomas

fischer

Thanks!

Yes, I need the script more than once and it looks like this ....

<html>
<head>
	<title>Untitled</title>
</head>

<body>
<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='process.php' method='post'>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

    <td>Domain</td>
    <td><input class="Field" disabled type="text" value="<? print $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?>" name='DomainName' maxlength="40"> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>Information</td>
    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='OfferAmount' maxlength="10"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td height="4"> </td>

    <td>First Name</td>
    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='FirstName' maxlength="14"></td>

    <td>Last Name</td>

    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='Email' maxlength="40"></td>

    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='Address' maxlength="40"></td>

<tr>
    <td>City</td>
    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='City' maxlength="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>State</td>
    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='State' maxlength="20"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>ZIP / Postalcode</td>
    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='ZIPPostalcode' maxlength="20"></td>

    <td>Country</td>
    <td><input class="Field" type=text name='Country' maxlength="20"></td>

<tr>
    <td> </td>
    <td><input class="Button" type=submit value='Submit Form'>
		<input class="Button" type=reset value='Reset Form'>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

</form> 

</body>
</html>

and the only php attribute is ....

<input class="Field" disabled type="text" value="<? print $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?>" name='DomainName' maxlength="40">

tsinka

There are several ways to do that. Using single quote strings, double quote strings or heredoc syntax. You need to escape single quotes (double quotes) inside sinqle quote strings (double quote strings) and you can't use variables inside single quote strings because PHP doesn't expand variables inside single quote strings.

You can read more about strings here .

Okay thanks Thomas! I`ve learned a lot.
But sadly i still have no idea how to send the host.
Could you please let me know how to realize a hidden
input to submit the value, without using an input at all?

😕

Houdini

Two things...don't use short tags <?
use the full <?php
and since you are not uploading files to your form don't use multipart/form-data

fischer

Thanks Houdini!

But it makes no different! Still having the same issue.
So if you can do some magical tricks Harry Houdini, please do so!

tsinka

Just print the server name in the table cell and add the following line e.g. just below the <form ...> tag:

<input type="hidden" value="<? print $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] ?>" name="DomainName">

This adds a hidden input (type="hidden") to the form. The hidden input won't be displayed but the browser submits the value as post variable DomainName.

Thomas

fischer

Yes! 🙂 Thanks! It works!

Is it possible that any security settings or firewall
does not allow the process of sending the host or maybe the ip?

tsinka

I think that submitting the host name or the ip shouldn't cause any firewall trouble.
