    20-5555: Programming for Excel and the Web

    20-5555: Web Programming - PHP Tutorial 2


    The object of this session is to gain further experience with the use of HTML forms and PHP. We first look at the HTML side of things. Here is a list of the most common form elements that are available:

    TEXTBOX (3 types)
    <input type="text" name="person" value="Bill" size="16"> <input type="password" name="person" value="dews" > <input type="hidden" name="age" value="99">

    Referred to in PHP using the name attribute. Value is default value for the first two and the value passed on for the third. Size is box width. The hidden type allows you to pass any additional information to your PHP script but it will not be visible on the HTML form.

    RADIO BUTTON (OPTION BUTTON)


    <input type="radio" name="color" value="red" checked>Red <input type="radio" name="color" value="green">Green <input type="radio" name="color" value="blue">Blue

    Provides a means of choosing one from a few options (mutually-exclusive). All must have the same name this is used by PHP. The name becomes the PHP variable, and the value is what this variable will contain. The one with the checked attribute is the one initially selected.

    CHECKBOX
    <input type="checkbox" value="yes" name="Milk" checked>with Milk

    Provides a means of supplying a yes/no choice. The checked property means it is checked initially. The PHP variable will be the name attribute and the value passed on will be either the contents of the value attribute, if the box is checked, or nothing if it is not checked.

    BUTTONS
    <input type="submit" value="submit Me"> <input type="reset" value="Reset Form"> <input type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="Javascript:abc()">

    There are three basic types of button a submit button, that will submit a form, a reset button that will restore defaults, and a button that can be linked to a Javascript function.

    PHP: Tutorial 2

    OPTION LIST
    <select name="colour" size="6"> <option value="red" SELECTED>Red</option> <option value="green">Green</option> <option value="blue">Blue</option> <option value="orange">Orange</option> <option value="pink">Pink</option> . . . </select>

    This is a drop-list useful for when there are too many options to use option buttons. As before, the name provides PHP with the variable name and the value with the value that is passed on. The one with the selected attribute is the default. Size gives the number of rows visible at any one time in the drop-list.

    TEXTAREA
    <textarea cols="12" rows="22" name="memo">Default text</textarea>

    This is a memo field a text-entry box allowing multi-line entry. The cols and rows attributes give the dimensions of the box, and the name is the variable containing the text entered. Default text is the text that initially appears in the box, and may be blank.

    20-5555: Programming for Excel and the Web An example of an HTML form that includes all of the above: <html><head><title>20-5555: PHP Tut2, Example 1</title> </head> <body> <h1>20-5555: Web Programming</h1> <h2>PHP Tutorial 2 - Exercise 1</h2> <hr size="1"> <h3>Example of a web form including all common form elements</h3> <p></p> <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="1" bgcolor="#ffdab9"> <tr><td> <form action="Tut2Ex1.php" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="SecretWord" value="supercalifragilistic"> Your Name please: <input type="text" name="Ex1_name" value="Algernon"> <p> Enter a password: <input type="password" value="dews" name="Ex1_password"> <p> Pick a colour: <input type="radio" value="red" name="Ex1_colour" checked>Red&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="radio" value="green" name="Ex1_colour">Green&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="radio" value="blue" name="Ex1_colour">Blue <p> Do you like <input type="checkbox" value="yes" name="Ex1_sugar"> sugar, <input type="checkbox" value="yes" name="Ex1_milk" checked> milk with your coffee? <p> <input type="button" value="Click me" onclick="Javascript:alert('OW!\n What did you do that for??!')"> <p> What's your favourite item of clothing?: <select name="Ex1_BestDuds" size="2"> <option value="trousers" SELECTED>Trousers</option> <option value="hat">Hat</option> <option value="G-string">G-String</option> <option value="Leotard">Leotard</option> <option value="Birthday Suit">Birthday Suit</option> </select> <p> <textarea cols="60" rows="5" name="Ex1_Comment">Enter a comment or two here ..</textarea> <p> <input type="submit" value="Send me your sorry life!"><input type="reset"> </form> </td></tr> </table> </body> </html>

    PHP: Tutorial 2 RESULT BELOW [See what happens if you change to method attribute of the FORM tag to get instead of post]

    Now for the PHP code that the form links to (Tut2Ex1.php)

    20-5555: Programming for Excel and the Web

    <html><head><title>20-5555: PHP Tut2, Example 1</title> </head> <body> <h1>20-5555: Web Programming</h1> <h2>PHP Tutorial 2 - Exercise 1</h2> <hr size=1> Results of the form ..<p></p> <table cellpadding=10 cellspacing=0 border=1 bgcolor="#ffdab9"> <tr><td> <?php #OK to parse $SecretWord=$_REQUEST['SecretWord']; $Ex1_name=$_REQUEST['Ex1_name']; $Ex1_password=$_REQUEST['Ex1_password']; $Ex1_colour=$_REQUEST['Ex1_colour']; $Ex1_sugar=$_REQUEST['Ex1_sugar']; $Ex1_milk=$_REQUEST['Ex1_milk']; $Ex1_BestDuds=$_REQUEST['Ex1_BestDuds']; $Ex1_Comment=$_REQUEST['Ex1_Comment']; print "Hidden field \"SecretWord\": $SecretWord<br>\n"; print "Your name: $Ex1_name<br>\n"; print "Your password: $Ex1_password<br>\n"; print "Your colour: $Ex1_colour<br>\n"; print "You like sugar in your coffee - $Ex1_sugar<br>\n"; print "You like milk in your coffee - $Ex1_milk<br>\n"; print "Favourite item of clothing is - $Ex1_BestDuds<br>\n"; print "Comment: $Ex1_Comment<br>\n"; ?> </td></tr> </table> </body> </html> Note the use of the global $_REQUEST array to get the contents of each form field. with this result (for example) .

    FORM VALIDATION
    To validate a form you use Javascript. When the form is submitted you want to be able to check the form fields for valid data before they are sent to the server. This will help to reduce unnecessary communication and ease bandwidth. You do this by adding something like the following to the <FORM> tag:

    <FORM

    onsubmit=return ValidateForm(this)>

    This re-directs control to a Javascript function (in this case called ValidateForm) passing it a reference to the form from which it is called (this). This function must generate a return value of True or False and the form is only submitted if the value is True. It is then up to the Javascript function to extract each item of information from the form and validate its contents. Here is an example - add the following to the <head> section of the html page: <script language="JavaScript1.1"> <!-function CheckForm(f) { //check the textbox Ex1_name msg=""; msg2=""; name=f.Ex1_name.value; if (name == "") { msg += "You must enter your name!"; } for (j=0; j<f.Ex1_colour.length; j++) { if (f.Ex1_colour[j].checked) { colourchosen=f.Ex1_colour[j].value; } } if (f.Ex1_sugar.checked) { likesugar=true } else { likesugar=false } if (f.Ex1_milk.checked) { likemilk=true } else { likemilk=false } j=f.Ex1_BestDuds.selectedIndex; clotheschosen=f.Ex1_BestDuds.options[j].value msg2 = "Your name is " + name + "\n"; msg2 += "The colour you chose is " + colourchosen + "\n"; msg2 += "You like sugar : " + likesugar + "\n"; msg2 += "You like milk : " + likemilk + "\n"; msg2 += "Your favourite item of clothing is " + clotheschosen + "\n"; alert (msg2); if (msg != "") { alert (msg); return false; } else { return true; } } //--> </script> and change the form tag to this:

    20-5555: Programming for Excel and the Web <form action="Tut2Ex1.php" method="post" onsubmit="return CheckForm(this);"> When running the program now, a typical response would be:

    The Javascript can intercept the data from the form and process them before being submitted to PHP. After clicking OK on this alert box, the form is submitted and the previous response is obtained from PHP. If, however, the name field is empty, we get

    in this case AFTER the previous box had appeared (thats just the way the Javascript is written) and the form is NOT submitted to PHP.

    TRY:
    Adding a text field that asks for the persons age. The Javascript should check that a positive number < 120 has been entered. Changing the way the form works so that the output appears in a new window. To do this, you can execute a line of Javascript of the form .. newWindow=window.open(url,"newWin","toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes, width=600,height=800") (all on one line). The url parameter will reference the PHP script, but must also pass on the full set of form data values, as a query string. Your Javascript must therefore construct this, so that (for example) url=myscript.php?name=george&colour=red&sugar=false& . It is normal practice that when your code opens a new window, it should also provide a means of closing it! Again a simple bit of Javascript will do this .. Text link: <a href="Javascript:self.close()">Close this window</a> Button: <form><input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="self.close()"></form>
