I have a html form which method type is post, now i want to append text to my website url in PHP. The text changes dynamically.
current url :
www.example.com/index.php
expected url :
www.example.com/index.php/hotels-in-bangalore
(or)
www.example.com/index.php?qry=hotels-in-bangalore
I just want to append text, other than that every thing should remain same. Thank you.
Im not sure why you try to accomplish, but here are few solutions:
put url in form action:
<form action="index.php?qry=hotels-in-bangalore" method="post">
or you can do it in php
if (!empty($_POST['name']) {//put some logic here
header("Location: index.php?qry=hotels-in-bangalore");
exit;
}
You need to use JavaScript if you want to redirect to correct page after submitting immediately.
So it will be something like this:
<form>
<input type="text" name="tbSearch" id="tbSearch" />
<input type="submit" id="submitSearch" value="Submit" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#submitSearch").click(function() {
window.location.href="index.php?qry=" + encodeURIComponent($("#tbSearch").val());
});
</script>

I need a little bit of help. I'm stuck at making the form information I have on my first html document show up on the tables in the second html document.
Any help would really feel good right now.
I'm not sure exactly what your question means, but if you are asking about including an html inside another html, check this link: include html in another html
Edit:
If you have no option to use server-side programming, you could use the query string.
In the form, add a method="GET" attribute:
<form action="display.html" method="GET">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="text" name="phone" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
When they submit this form, the user will be directed to an address which includes the name, phone value as a parameter. like:
http://www.example.com/display.html?name=XYZ&phone=98745654
You should then be able to parse the query string - which will contain the parameters value - from JavaScript, using the window.location.search value:
// from display.html
<p id= 'hi' ></p>
<script>
document.getElementById("hi").innerHTML = window.location.search;
</script>
this should help you to start what you are trying to do.
For example, the website https://talky.io/ has a form on its homepage. When you enter text into the form and hit the button, you're taken to a page that's https://talky.io/[your text]. How do you do this? What's the best way to do it?
Thank you!
You can use onSubmit and change the action attribute of the form via javascript, then return true. The code could look like this:
HTML from linked page:
<form id="createRoom">
<input id="sessionInput" placeholder="Name the conversation" autofocus="autofocus">
<button type="submit">Let’s go!</button>
</form>
Js code:
document.getElementById("crateRoom").onsubmit = function(){
var url = encodeURIComponent(document.getElementById("sessionInput").value);
document.getElementById("crateRoom").action = "/" + url;
return true;
}
It is server-side script job. You can look at some MVC framework and the url parameters
You can use GET method of form;for example:
<form action="index.php" method="get">
Page: <input type="text" name="page">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
that after submit will go to index.php?page=yourEnteredPage.
You can use PHP symfony or codeignitor, if you use .net then create a new MVC project.
But if you only need to change urls like
www.mysite.com/mypage.php?something=value
to
www.mysite.com/value
You can do a mod rewrite in apache or if you're using .net then use RegisterRoutes in your global.asax.cs
Using a form you can submit data to a location/url that was given in the action attribute of the for, for example
<form method="POST" action="http://example.com">
<input name="first_name" type="text" value="" />
<!-- Form elements -->
<input type="submit" name="mySubmitButton" value="Submit">
</form>
This form will submit the form data to the given action url when submit will be pressed and on the derver data could be retrieve using
$first_name = $_POST['first_name';];
and so on. The method POST is used to submit the form in the post array so you can retrieve data using $_POST['formfieldname'] and if you use method="GET" then you can get submitted data from $_GET variable, like, $fname=$_GET['first_name']. GET has limitation of amount when submitting data (safe to use up to 2000 characters IE's limit) and is visible to address bar of the browser and not being used for login (password) and POST can send more data than GET and also not visible to address bar.

Fairly possible with URL Rewriting

I have a simple javascript that I can't seem to get to work.
So what I'm trying to accomplish is a text field on my homepage that the user can type in(just 1 field). Submit it and it'll take them to another page with a text field that is pre filled with what they already typed in the first field.
<script type="text/javascript">
function go_page(page)
{
document.location.href = '/?page_id=11' + '#addressInput=' + addressInput;
}
</script>
When i fill in the 'addressInput' (for this example, lets say '90501')..
Currently, the url comes up as www.mywebsite.com/?addressInput=90501
Goal, i want it to be.. www.mywebsite.com/?page_id=11#addressInput=90501
This 'goal url' works when i type it in the address bar. I just need to figure out how to do that function automatically for the user..based on what they input in the first text field.
...any ideas?
EDIT 1
Here is the form code..
<form method="get" onsubmit=" go_page(this.page.value); return false">
<input type="text" name="addressInput" id="addressInput" size="30" />
<input type="submit" value="" class="submitButton" />
</form>
EDIT 2
just more info..
The user will be on the homepage and type in an 'address/zip code' in the text field and click submit.
Which will then take them to the locations page(page_id=11) that has a text field that's pre-populated with the 'address/zip' the user typed in on the homepage.
You could try grabbing the element in the form like this
<form method="get" onsubmit="go_page(this.addressInput); return false">
<input type="text" name="addressInput" id="addressInput" size="30" />
<input type="submit" value="" class="submitButton" />
</form>
And extracting the value of addressInput inside your function like this
function go_page(elem) {
var addressInput = elem.value;
window.location.href = "/?page_id=11#addressInput"+addressInput;
}
In Wordpress that should navigate you to the page id and add the hash to the end
Its not clear from the limited information provided, but have you stopped the default form submission behavior? Maybe the form if being submitted before your javascript is called. Capture the form submission and return:false or event.preventDefault() to stop it continuing with the submission.
If you want to have # in the URL, you have to encode it so instead of using # use %23. And do not forget that for separating values in URL you have to use &.
document.location.href = '/?page_id=11' + '%23addressInput=' + addressInput;
Update
Instead of document.location.href use window.location
I need to assign a javascript variable to jsp. I am doing this by submitting a html hidden field inside a form to server.
But finally the value in jsp is alwasy null. These jsp code and javascript are in the same page. Please have a look a the code:
<html>
<body>
<form action= "Custom_DHTMLDashboard_Content.jsp" method="post">
<input type="hidden" id="hiddenField" />
document.getElementById("hiddenField").value = reportID;
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
<%String MyID = (request.getParameter("hiddenField"));%>
alert("this is scriptlet" + "<%=MyID%>");//always null
You need to:
Put <script> tags around your script (document.getElementById("hiddenField").value = reportID;)
Define reportID somewhere (before you try to use it)
Escape the data you output with <%=MyID%>. Outputting unfiltered, unescaped data to the page is how you make XSS vulerabilities
If you fix that then:
The first time you load the page, <%=MyID%> will be null
When you submit the form, it will have a value
I'm trying to create a form which submits a string to another page only with the parameter name removed from the URL.
i.e. submitting the following form with "foo"
<form action="search.asp" method="get">
<input type="text" name="keyword" id="keyword">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
will go to search.asp?foo NOT search.asp?keyword=foo
Can this be done with pure html?
I guess this can be done with javascript and/or jquery but I'm not certain exactly how.
Can anybody help?
I'm a bit of a noob so a copy and paste solution would be great for me.
Update:
Thanks for the answers so far but they don't seem to be working. Perhaps a better way to do this is to get JQuery to construct the URL and load that URL? Any more suggestions would be great.
or maybe...?
$('input[type="text"]').blur(function() {
$('form').attr('action', 'search.asp?' + $('input').val());
});
Let's give the form and the submit button a classname for convenience and assume we have jQuery on the page.
<form action="search.asp" method="get" class="search_form">
<input type="text" name="keyword" id="keyword">
<input type="submit" value="Go" class="search_button">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
var $form = $(".search_form");
// save the default action, because we are going to mess with it.
$form.data("original-action", $form.attr("action"));
// listen to the click on the button, update the form action and submit the form manually
$(".search_button").click(function(){
$form.attr("action", $form.data("original-action") + "?" + $("#keyword").val());
$form.submit();
return false;
});
});
</script>
Not tested, but should work. Let me know.
Btw, saving the default action is maybe not needed. But just in case that you ever want to submit it with ajax without reloading the page.
Try this:
<form action="search.asp?foo">
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#btnSubmit").click(function(){
var keywordVal = $("#keyword").val();
window.location.href = "search.asp?" + keywordVal;
});
});
</script>
<input id="keyword" type="text" name="keyword">
<button id="btnSubmit">Submit</button>
