I'm working on a single PHP file, which has 2 different forms.
Example:
<form action="index.php" method="POST">
<input type="checkbox" name="box1">
<input type="submit" value="submit1" name="submit">
</form>
<br>
<form action="index.php" method="POST">
<input type="checkbox" name="box2">
<input type="submit" value="submit2" name="submit">
</form>
My problem is, I want to make both of them work at the same time, independent from each other. For example, when I hit 'submit1', the whole index.php reloads since action is set to that page. The other checkbox might lose it's condition, if I set it to checked before submitting the first form. Might be confusing, I know.. Since I have PHP code behind, I can' really handle the whole thing between 1 form tag. That's why I'm asking if there's another option like javascript, or something. Thanks in advance!
You can use a javascript cookie. You could set it so the cookie will have the fields and values of everything in both forms, and then is saved/created upon submit. Then once the page is reloaded, javascript can split the cookie and refill the field values for the other form. You might need a hidden field in both forms so that you can identify which form was submitted. Here's a tutorial that might explain cookies to you in greater detail: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/javascript/javascript_cookies.htm

I have a form with validation on data (E.g the mobile number must contain 10 numbers and numeric) . once everything submitted i've pressed submit button then those data must send to the data base over the php file (access from from action=file.php)
im not sure if i type this form part correctly or not
please help
<form action="patientdetails.php" method="POST" name='registration' onSubmit="return formValidation()"/>
<input type="image" src="Images/submit.png" alt="Submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
You can use code like this for form validation :
`<script>` <br>
`function formValidation(){`<br>
`var myform=document.registration;`<br>
`var num=myform.mobilenum.value;`<br>
`if(num<10){`<br>
`alert("invalid number");`<br>
`return false;`<br>
`}`<br>
`else{`<br>
`return true;`<br>
`}`<br>
`}`
`</script>`
`<form action="patientdetails.php" method="POST" name='registration' onSubmit="return formValidation()"/>`<br>
`<input type="number" name="mobilenum" />`<br>
`<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />`
Nothing in your form code will cause a problem with validating your input.
Not having any <input> elements does make it impossible for anyone to type the mobile number though.
There are some things which are wrong, out of date, or low quality…
There is no name attribute for form elements
Intrinsic event attributes like onsubmit are better replaced by JavaScript that uses addEventListener
Image type inputs are designed to provide server side image maps, if you just want a graphic to be your submit button you should probably have <button><img></button> instead
… but none would cause the problem you are describing.
I have a common popup contact form at three different places in a one page wordpress website. Now the issue is that I can't identify from which button the form is sent. I have used easy modal plugin and the form is a normal bootstrap form. How can I identify this? is there something i can do with hidden fields or how? any help is appreciated . Thanks
'is there something i can do with hidden fields or how?' - Yes there is:
<form>
<!-- other input fields -->
<input type="hidden" name="form-id" value="form1">
</form>
On the server side you can get it the same way you get your other variables:
$form = $_GET["form-id"];
//or
$form = $_POST["form-id"];
In a comment you said you are new to this. Have a look at this, it might be helpful.
Try this,
<form action="action.php">
Email: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="from" value="topModal">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Change the value of topModal to any other word to identify the request of origin.
You can send hidden field in the form to distinguish them all from each other.
I am working on jsps with javascript and jquery.
I have a form(say DisplayListForm) which gets loaded from 2 different forms. One from FilterForm and another saveChangesForm. There are submit buttons on both forms. Now My question is, how can I know from which form DisplayListForm was targeted? Depending on from where is the request is coming I want to change the display.
thanks in advance
If you have control over the FilterForm and saveChangesForm, I'd suggest putting a hidden form field in each of those:
<input type="hidden" name="origin" value="nameOfTheForm" />
Server side, you can detect the origin field and change your view accordingly.
Its really simple, Name all your submit buttons on the client side and then check for the submitted button on the server.
Example:
//Client-side
<form>
<input type="submit" name="submit-button" value="add-item"/>
</form>
<form>
<input type="submit" name="submit-button" value="delete-item"/>
</form>
//Server-side
if($_POST)
{
if($_POST['submit-button']=='add-item')
//add an item
else
//delete an item
}
I have a form, which has a few different submit buttons on it all doing different things with the same post data.
Lets say for simplicity sake the form looks like this:
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="ids" value="1,2,3,4" />
<input type="submit" id="picking" name="picking" value="Picking" />
<input type="submit" id="shipping" name="shipping" value="Shipping" />
<input type="submit" id="invoice" name="invoice" value="Invoice" />
</form>
At the moment the form submits to itself and I work out server side which submit button is pressed, build a URL from the POST data, then do a PHP redirect to what I need to go. This works fine.
However, I am looking for the form to post its data to a new window, but only when "invoice" is clicked. This rules out just adding target="_blank" to the form, as the other 2 buttons would submit to new pages as well.
I also can't split the form into 3 different forms as the data is a lot more complex than the above, and a lot of it is input by the user.
Is there a way to do this using JavaScript/JQuery? If so, where would I start?
Thanks
could you not add target blank to the form when invoice is clicked?:
$("#invoice").click(function(){
$('#form_id').attr('target', '_blank');
});
or:
$(document).on("click","#invoice",function(){
$('#form_id').attr('target', '_blank');
});
Try adding a click handler to the correct submit button.
$('#invoice').on('click', function(){
//doStuff
});
This will allow you to control the action of #invoice without affecting the others.
I have been using different script for auto submitting form like:
document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0].submit();
But all these refresh for endless time without submitting the form. I tried using alert statement which worked fine but still the form was not submitted.
<form id="level" method="post">
<br/>
<label for="answer">Answer:</label>
<input type="text" name="answer" id="answer" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
.
With all your questions, I could try another conclusion.
If you're trying to make a brute-force attempt to retrieve a password, the server could have identified your ip and just stall your request because you've tried too often. Or even notice you're inhumanly fast with your request. These kind of things are a base defense against brute-force attacks.
The code should work fine.
Another guess could be that the page actually does something different when clicking that button, in stead of the normal submit. So you could try simulating a click on the button in stead of submitting the form directy.
$('#submit').click();
that line of code is right, maybe it is DOM issue, there is another <form> before or something else
you can try to access by ID
or jQuery :
$("#level").submit();
