Symfony + Action To Another Action ?

Form Tag Action='/aaa/aa/' Instead Of Action='/aaa/aa.php' ?


I am quite new to php so please bear with me if you think the answer is obvious.
Problem/question: I have noticed when some websites process forms the tag contains action='/aaa/aa/' instead of action='/aaa/aa.php'.

How does this work? This leads to the next part of the question, how to clear the postdata so that the next window if refreshed will not resend and the url will not show '/aaa/aa.php'

Currently using javascript: I use javascript and php to get round this, but with accessiblity issues for my site, i cannot always rely on javascript. Code:

Action= ???


I can't find the answer!! I want to select a page from a "select" list. Click Submit and go to that page. Below is my code. The "???" is what I can't figure out.

?action=action

$var->ACTION();


What is this called?

$var->ACTION();

I see this a lot, and I'm not sure what it means or if there is a name for what it's doing. I'd like to learn about this.

LoadModule Vs. Action


a simple question regarding ways of loading php as a dll or an exe file
in httpd?
What is the difference of loading php as LoadModule php5_module
"C:phpphp5apache2_2.dll" or Action application/x-httpd-php
"/php/php-cgi.exe" or Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe".

Either way, what is the most preferable way and why?

Two Action In A Form?


can i put two actions in a form so that when i click the "submit" button, the information will be sent to both the database and my email account?

---

Action And Header


I have used the action= statement to send the form to a new page which
can get the posted variables.

I have used the header("Location: foo.php) statement after testing on
the submit with isset.

What I want to know is if they can be combined. That is, test first
with the isset, and if no errors go to the action call. Simply going
with the header call doesn't seem to send the form variables.

Action Link

Does anyone have a solution for this problem:

- I would like a PHP script to execute an action before a user clicks

Is there an easy way to do this?

If() Action Within Print()..?


I'm trying to do something like this:

<?php
foreach($apples as $key => $value){

print("<td class=<?php if ($myvar==$key){print (class1);} else {print
(class2);} ?>>$value</td>");

}
?>

Hopefully, you can see what I'm trying to do, I've left out all the ' " '
etc. Obviously the syntax isn't right at all, how exactly do I achieve
putting an if() action with a print()? Is it even possible?

The Power Of ACTION

OnClick Action

Does anyone know if I can run a function when the link is click by writing something similar to that bellow ?

<a href="" target="_blank" onClick="<? add_product_category(); ?>" >add

If ($action==members


On my website I have a code like this where if $thispage='test'; then it would echo in the page title "(Ti|test".

I have this for index.php
$action = $_GET['action'];
if ($action==NULL){
$thispage="Homepage";
}

Which works fine.

but say for

?action=members

this should work right?

$action = $_GET['action'];
if ($action==members){
$thispage="Members";
}

But all it outputs in page title is nothing like this: "(Ti|"

File Upload Action To Iframe

I have tried uploading a file using the code as

//--------------------------------------------------------
// Main File

<form action="importaction.php" enctype="multipart/form-data"
method="post" target="targetupload">

<input type="file" name="fileimpcsv" id="fileimpcsv">

<input type="submit" name="subfileimpcsv" id="subfileimpcsv"
value="Import">

</form>

<iframe id='targetupload' name='targetupload' scrolling="auto"
frameborder="0" height="0"
src='ifimportaction.php'></iframe>

//--------------------------------------------------------

In the file ifimportaction.php, there is the code to get the POST,
FILES vars and upload the file.

And show the javascript alert after the file is uploaded. (Alert
message at the end of the file ifimportaction.php)

It's working perfectly for Firefox (tested in v2.0). But for IE (v6),
it's not working.

After I click the submit button, it's stay there only. If I remove all
the code from the ifimportaction.php and only print time(), (after
changing targetupload height to say 50), there is no change in the
values being displayed i.e., action is not going to that frame.

How can I upload the file in IE, so that page is not reloaded.

Submit Form With Variable For Action?


So, i've got a form that is very simple. It hold three elements:
username, password, and domain. The goal here is to have the form
submit the login to an administrative section depending on which domain
someone has chosen.

For instance, let's say we have three administrative sites, that all
have different URLs, but we want this one form to handle logging into
any of them. So, the form itself needs to have a dynamic action
element.

Here's an example:

Code:

<form action="http://www.mysite.com/admin/index.php" method="post"
name="login" id="login" >
<input name="usrname" type="text">
<input name="pass" type="password">
<input name="domain" type="text">
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Login">
</form>

Getting Data From Address Bar Into Form Action.


Here is the problem...i have a game where a users id and encrypted password are stored in the address bar on every page of the game.

e.g. main.php?P=bank&uid=15&password=faspmi9r329m2d324sd

now i have a problem when trying to link to a page through a form while still keeping these variables in the link

to be more specific i have a form for a user to deposit gold into their bank

upon entering a value in the input box and clicking either deposit or withdraw the form is to reload the same page where the proper if(isset($_POST command will take over and do the correct job.

The only problem is if i use a $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] as the action for the form when it reads back on its self again it doesnt include the uid or password...it simply is reloading main.php

...my question is....

how do i get these variables sent back through the form button so the page will reload with the users information still there?

Form Action A Javascript Function

Can't Execute Form Action Files !


PHP installed: version 5.0.5 My example:

index.html:
<form action=service.php method=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=Submit VALUE="Send">
</form>

service.php:
<HTML>
<BODY>
HTML Code was executed
<BR />
<? echo "PHP Code was executed" ?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Have this problem:
When I run only the service.php, both html/php code is working.

But when I start with index.html in which the code is calling service.php after submit button click, whole the code in service.php is ignored and only blank page will appear.
Then how can I get inputs from users into my php code?

Maybe I've installed PHP (5.0.5) badly? But where can I make a mistake, however the installation is trivial, isn't it?

PHP And Frame Updates From Form Submit Action


I have created a page with two frames on it. The main frame contains a simple form that collects a username and password.

The form code is as shown below :-

<form method = "post" action = "getname.php">
Login Name : <input type="text" name="login_name"
size=12><br><br>

Password : <input type="text" name="passw" size=14>

<input type = "submit" name="submit" value = "Login" >
</form>

The php function getname assignes the value of "login_name" to a usable variable for later use.
Here's the problem, After the form's submit button is pressed I want update the contents of the second frame automatically, I also want it to contain the value for the login name entered on the form.
Is there a way of automatically updating the second form so that I can fill it with dynamic contect?

Form Action To Same File Opens New Window


Two questions late at night and going stir crazy. Anybody who takes pity on
me will have my undying gratitude and a virtual bottle of beer.
I've tried to look them both up on the php.net, and elsewhere, but without
success.

1. Am writing a php program which checks entries in a form on a previous
page. It then asks for any empty fields to be filled, and submits the
resulting form back to itself to check it again.

In other words the file "checkblank.php" includes this line within the php:

echo "<form target="checkblank.php" method="post">";

When the form is submitted it opens in a new window (in FireFox). In Firefox
it is not a disaster as the variables and arrays are not lost, and the
program works, but popups are not something I like. In IE the whole thing
collapses in a heap as the variables appear not to be passed to the new
window. Needless to say, the vast majority of users will have IE. Is there a
reason I'm unaware of, and can it be stopped easily?

2. Can anybody suggest a quick and easy way to strip arrays? stip_tags is
fine with variables, but converts arrays to variables. I'd like to use it
for the sake of security though. I don't particularly want to translate the
array into a whole lot of variables, as it's a big array.

Proper Action For A Page From A Database That Doesn't Exist.


What is the proper action to take when a user accesses a page from a database that doesn't exist.

For example:

User accesses
http://www.example.com/parts/pn12345.html

which translates to
http://www.example.com/parts/lookup.php?ID=12345

where part number 12345 is not in the database.

I would think 404 would be the proper response, but I need to redirect to another page. I have a parts index that I want the user taken to without having to click on anything.

Passing Credentials In A Form And Perform Action

All, I want to create a script that performs the following:

1. Access a page and submits authentication credentials (www.example.com/login.html)

2. Once authenticated, grab values of a form (www.example.com/logs.html)

I just need to be stepped through the thought process. Unfortunately, I can't use cURL because the main page doesn't request for authentication. Instead, it's an authentication form/page. Or perhaps I can still use cURL, but not use its auth mechanism of CURLOPT_USERPWD.

Here's the form parameters that must be submitted:

<label>Username:</label>
<input type="text" size="14" name="username" value="User" />
<label>Password:</label>
<input type="password" size="14" name="password" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Login" />

Stopping <a> From Loading New Page But Still Performing Onclick Action

I want to use hyperlinks to 'load' content by changing the display of
div tags. the problem i have is that unless i specify a href the anchor
does not change the mouse pointer on hover even if display is set to
block. it only look changes when there is a href there. but if i have a
href there then when i click it will load the page, which i dont want.

how can i get the anchor to look like a proper link where the users
pointer changes on hover (in firefox) but a page does not get refreshed
onclick only the onclick function gets loaded.

Adding Additonal Values From Forms To The Top Of The Action Page

I have form on multiple pages with one text input and two hidden fields.

When the user submits the form, they are taken to:

/actionpage.php?input=x&hidden1=y&hidden2=z

On the action page there is a third party JavaScript that I can not change that requires the two hidden fields.

I am wondering if I can setup something at the top of the action page that establishes the two hidden fields, allowing me to take them off from all my pages while still allowing the third party script to work.

Remove Record Id From Static Name In Form Action Script

I am creating a page that has multiple dynamic forms, two of my form elements are using a static name and the record id (this is needed for another reason.) I need to remove the record id, so my post in my update script will be:

$date_start=$_POST['start'];
$date_finish=$_POST['finish'];

<input type="text" name="start<?php echo $task_number; ?>" value="<? echo $date_start; ?>">

and

<input type="text" name="finish<?php echo $task_number; ?>" value="<? echo date_finish; ?>">


In the update script I can access the input value by using the variable ${'start'.$task_number}

Is there a way to remove $task_number from it so it posts as 'start' and 'finish'?

Do I somehow need to provide the form action script a list of task_numbers via an array serialized and urlencoded via a hidden field to decode and unserialize? If so, does anyone know how? If not, does anyone know how I can do this?

&lt;form Action=&lt;?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']&gt;? Name=''&gt; Is This Good Practice

Form Action = &lt;?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?&gt; - Stopped Working

My form action code to submit values to itself have stopped working using the code

form action = <?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>

This code used to work

My web host recently told me they enabled phpsuexec option in apache which apparently needs me to CHMOD my PHP page to 750 and the directory to 755. (I don't know what this means but know how to CHMOD files). I have CHMODed the files this but my PHP page doesn't work with those settings, so I set them back.

Bizarre Phantom Bug (Calling A PHP Script From An Apache "Action" Directive)


I am using an "Action" directive in my Apache configuration to map a
certain file type (by means of AddType and AddHandler) to a PHP script.
I wasn't sure if this would work, since the Apache docs say the Action
directive is for mapping a handler name to a CGI script in particular.
But it seemed to work at first.

Then a mysterious bug arose: Sometimes it works perfectly, and other
times the output is a totally blank page. It seems that if I haven't
viewed a page for a while, it chooses to do one of these at random
(though it is blank more often than not), and then it persists in the
same behaviour until I reload it many times. (That is, usually a page
appearing blank will eventually display if I reload it many times;
however, only rarely will a correctly-displayed page regress to
appearing blank after reloads.) Checking with `curl -i', it would
appear to a client program that the request was perfectly successful:
all the headers are there (with the correct content-type), it has an
HTTP/1.1 200 OK line, and so on (and there's nothing unusual in the
server's access or error logs), except Content-length is 0, and there
is indeed no content at all after the two newlines.

WTF?? Since when do computers behave non-deterministically? I should
hope, if a program is not going to behave correctly, that it at least
do so predictably and consistently. That would make debugging it much
easier. But what am I to make of this Schrodinger's Bug? How do I even
approach the debugging process?

(Also, if anyone could suggest a workaround, an alternate method of
having a PHP script handle files with a certain extension, then that
would be just as welcome. Though I'd like to stay within mod_php,
avoiding a CGI-based technique, because I'd prefer to not start a
process every time these pages are requested.)

Form Processing: Change The "action=" Based On Pull Down Menu


I have an html form for that uses username and password to login to a
specific area of the website. The "area" the user wants to go to is
based on a pull down menu. Becasue the user/password info is in
differnet databases, how can I call different validation scripts based
on this input ?

See below please. Somethinglike this:

form.html:
<form name="loginform" method="post" action="login.php">
<select name="loginform">
<option value="one">Section 1</option>
<option value="two">Section 2</option>
</select>

login.php:

@extract($_POST);
if($_POST[loginform] == "one") {

echo "action = /forums/scc/dispatch.cgi/_admin/AVFLogin"
NAME="LoginForm" >
echo "<input type=hidden name="autologin" value="1">
";
echo "<input type=hidden name="formstyle" value="standard">
";
echo "<input type=hidden name="returnforum" value="_admin">
";
echo "<input type=hidden name="returnmsg"
value="acahomepage">
";

} else {

echo "action = /path to different cgi
";
echo :different values for hidden fields".

}
