Possible to send POST data WITHOUT a submit button?

Is it possible to send POST data without a submit button, but
instead, using PHP redirect or PHP header?
I need to process a form's POST values before sending some
selected values to a third party web
site. So I'd like to be able to send processed POST values to
that site, without asking the user to
click on a submit button again.
how?...

You can't send client-side data with server-side scripting, I
think. You
can do it with javascript, but then your form is dependent on
js being
enabled....

Sending post data to remote site

I would normally use CURL and php to do this but I was wanting to see if i can use flex to send the post data, I am making an app which sends post data to another site, and was wanting to know the best way of doing this in flex..

ok cool, I basically need to be able to prepopulate any form from any website and submit it, even if the site doesn't have an API.
the sites I am submiting to all have API's but I thought it would be better this way because API's change alot.

Send/receive data without a terminating character

I am trying to use the visa driver to send hex data over a serial port. I have tried to disable terminating characters but when I read from the port the trasnmission still terminates with a 0x0A character. How can I send/receive data without a terminating character???

You need to call viSetAttribute with VI_ATTR_ASRL_END_IN set to VI_ASRL_END_NONE. In LabVIEW, use a write property node with the Serial End In mode set to None (0).

How can I send post data through nsurlrequest?

Hi.
I'm working on an application which needs to make requests to a php gateway. I tried many examples I found on google, but none of them worked for me.
First I was working with GET, and it worked just fine, but now, as I need to send more complex data, GET isn't a solution anymore. I have three params to send: module which is a string containing a php class name, method: the function in the class, and params for the function which is usually an indexed array.
The following method makes the request to the server, but for some reason, doesn't send the POST data. If I var_dump($_REQUEST) or var_dump($_POST), it turns out, the array is empty. Can somebody tell me, what am I doing wrong? Is there some kind of a sandbox, which prevents data from being sent to the? I also tried to send some random strings, which aren't json encoded, no luck. The sdk version is 5.1, and I'm using the iPhone simulator from xcode.
If it is possible I would like to solve this problem without any additional libraries (like asihttp).
And here is the code:
+(NSObject *)createRequest:(NSString *)module: (NSString *)method: (NSArray *)params
    NSString *url       = @"http://url/gateway.php";
    NSData *requestData = nil;
    NSDictionary *data = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
            module, @"module",
            method, @"method",
            params, @"params",
            nil];
    NSString *jsonMessage = [data JSONRepresentation];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
    NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [jsonMessage length]];
    [request addValue: @"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [request addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setHTTPBody: [jsonMessage dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    requestData     = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    NSString *get   = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:requestData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@">>>>>>%@<<<<<<",get);
Thank you.

Why not?
Unfortunately, you are dealing with a number of different technologies that have been cobbled together over the years. You could write a PHP server that would respond correctly to this request, but not using basic methods like the $_POST variable. PHP was designed for HTML and true forms. What you are trying to do is make it work as a general purpose web service over the HTTP protocol. You can do that, but not with the form-centric convenience variables.
The following is a basic program that will populate the $_POST variable.
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
@autoreleasepool
    // insert code here...
    NSLog(@"Hello, World!");
    NSString * module = @"coolmodule";
    NSString * method = @"slickmethod";
    //NSArray * params = @[@"The", @"Quick", @"Brown", @"Fox"];
    NSString * params = @"TheQuickBrownFox";
    NSString * url = @"http://localhost/~jdaniel/test.php";
    NSDictionary * data =
      [NSDictionary
        dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
          module, @"module",
          method, @"method",
          params, @"params",
          nil];
    //NSString *jsonMessage = [data JSONRepresentation];
    //NSData * jsonMessage =
    // [NSJSONSerialization
    //    dataWithJSONObject: data options: 0 error: nil];
    NSMutableArray * content = [NSMutableArray array];
    for(NSString * key in data)
      [content
        addObject: [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@=%@", key, data[key]]];
    NSString * body = [content componentsJoinedByString: @"&"];
    NSData * bodyData = [body dataUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSMutableURLRequest * request =
      [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString:url]];
    //NSString * msgLength =
    // [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%ld", [jsonMessage length]];
    NSString * msgLength =
      [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%ld", [bodyData length]];
    [request
      addValue: @"application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8"
      forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
    [request addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Length"];
    [request setHTTPMethod: @"POST"];
    //[request setHTTPBody: jsonMessage];
    [request setHTTPBody: bodyData];
    NSData * requestData =
      [NSURLConnection
        sendSynchronousRequest: request returningResponse: nil error: nil];
    NSString * get =
      [[NSString alloc]
        initWithData: requestData encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@">%@<",get);
return 0;
I have written this type of low-level server in PHP using the Zend framework. I don't know how to do it in basic PHP and wouldn't bother to learn.
Also, you should review how you are sending data. I changed your example to send the appropriate data and content-type for the $_POST variable. If you had a server that could support something else, you could use either JSON or XML, but your data and content-type would have to match.

Can't send POST data from servlet

Hi,
I have a servlet that receives data via GET method, process the request and then it has to send feedback to an url, but the query string that
I have to send must be in a POST method.
I ilustrate this:
http://host:port/myservlet?param1=value1
myservlet proccess and then calls
http://external_url (with param2=value2 via POST)
I've tried to put an HttpURLConnection
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:7001/prueba.jsp");
java.net.HttpURLConnection con= (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
//POST data
URL url = new URL("http://localhost:7001/prueba.jsp");
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection)(url.openConnection());
c.setDoOutput(true);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(c.getOutputStream());
out.println("param2=" + URLEncoder.encode("value2"));
out.close();
but I get this error.
lun mar 10 13:53:46 GMT+01:00 2003:<W> <ListenThread> Connection rejected: 'Login timed out after 5000 msec. The socket
came from [host=127.0.0.1,port=2184,localport=7001] See property weblogic.login.readTimeoutMillis to increase of decreas
e timeout. See property weblogic.login.logAllReadTimeouts to turn off these log messages.'
(it's a weblogic 5.1 problem, i've been researching a little bit)
And I don't want to call a jsp that generates a post form, and then it's auto-submitted with javascript. (this will be the last remedy!!)
How can i do this?
All suggestions will be grateful.
Thanks in advance.
PD: sorry for my english :)

I make an URLConnection and I intended to know if the post data was
sent right. Then, in my machine, under weblogic 5.1, I developed a jsp with this code:
<%
URL url = new URL("http://machine2/examples/prueba.jsp");
HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection)(url.openConnection());
c.setDoOutput(true);
PrintWriter outd = new PrintWriter(c.getOutputStream());
outd.println("param1=" + URLEncoder.encode("value1"));
outd.close();
c.disconnect();
%>
and in machine2 (using tomcat 4.1), I simply put a line in prueba.jsp:
System.out.println(request.getParameter("param1"));
and I don't get "value1" in the tomcat log as expected (I think).
I also tried with adding this properties:
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", size...);
c.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
and it didn't work!
what's wrong?

Send POST-Data does not work

Hi all,
I am new to Flex so I try some stuff to get myself into
AS/Flex in a good way (I hope :)).
I wrote a small class that encapsulates the HTTPService class
using AS. Then I tried to send some data and I get a response from
my server but the POST-Data I try to send does not come up.
Everything else seems to wokr in my class...
Code attached!!!
Anyone knows why there is no POST-Data sent to my PHP? When I
alert the contents of my _objPostData.objPostData I get the Data I
entered in my edtLoginUsername/edtLoginPassword. So what goes
Wrong???
Thx

Are you SURE you're sure that no post data is getting sent?
To me it just
looks like you're not actually WAITING for the result by
attaching an event
listener to the result event. Instead, you're trying to read
the result
event immediately.

User required fields without a submit button

Hi,
I was recently using Adobe Designer 7 and when I would make the field type User Enter - Required, it would not allow the user to go on to the next field.
I have just updated to Designer 8 and it does not allow the same function. When I assign the type to User Enter - Required and fill in the Empty Message box, nothing happens at run time. Is this because I don't have a submit button on the form?
The user will fill in the form and save it under a new name and submit it through our internal email delivery system, so I can't have a submit by email button. Is there any way around this? I'm not very familiar with Java Scripting, but I will do anything, as I need these fields to be filled in.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

You'll have better luck posting this in the LiveCycle Designer forum. Output Designer is a totally different product.
That said, I'm surprised that LC Designer 7 prevented the user from exiting a mandatory field. That's user abuse in my opinion. If there's no submit button, the mandatory checking can be done in a script with subFormName.execValidate() where "subFormName" is the subform that contains the objects that you want to validate. The function will return false if there are empty required fields.
Hope this helps.

POST data without navigating to page

Hi,
I need to POST some data collected in a form to an ASP page
hosted by another person.
How do I do this without navigating to that ASP page, so I
can remain within my own website ?
Thanks for the help,
M

You could have some code like:
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
objXML.open "POST", "mysite.com/foo.asp", False
objXML.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
objXML.send(Request.Form)
Resp = objXML.responsetext
Set objXML = Nothing

Send POST data from custom POD to PHP server

Hi all,
I tried to send data from custom POD to PHP server with POST method. I used HTTPService component and URLLoader, but nothing happend. All attempts failed, HTTPService return "fault" and URLLoader return "0" that means I can't send data to the server.
I'm googling around during few hours... please give me some advice, how I can send data from custom POD to PHP server.
Thanks

Figured it out, hope it will help someone
A bit tricky but it works fine, now I can send and retrive data from PHP server.
Add .htacces file in folder where deployed PHP request handler and modify it, see below:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /foldername
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ filename.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
Thanks

Is it possible to Delete LOB data without deleting the row it is part of?

The goal is to purge "old" LOB data and "reclaim" the space for use by "new" LOB data.... sounds simple....

Is it possible to send group emails without having to select each email address individually?

Does anyone know how to set up a group so that you can send an email to multiple emails addresses with one click? I often send to the same 5 people and feel there's got to be a way to avoid typing in all of their names/email addresses each time. I can do it on yahoo!, gmail, outlook, etc...

Not natively. There are apps in the app store you can search for that do that.

Sending 2 data, is it possible?

Hi,
Is it possible to send two data in the same txt file?
Lets say, i have specific members from several dimensions and Im always sending 1 data register...
Dims: Account, time, version, company, rate
Price= $100
1 Data: AccountA,2011.Jan,Bdg11,CompanyA,Usd,100
Instead... is it possible to send 2 data?
Price=$100
Quantity=80
2 Data: AccountA,2011.Jan,Bdg11,CompanyA,Usd,100,80
I know that by default the name of the column sending data is Measures, but is it possible to add a "second measure" or something in order to perform the sending of data?
Velázquez

Hi,
You can maintain the flat file something like:
Price,2011.Jan,Bdg11,CompanyA,Usd,100
Quantity,2011.Jan,Bdg11,CompanyA,No_Curr,80
Where Price and Quantity are the members of the account dimension. And No_Curr is a member of your currency dimension, indicating that quantity is not stored with any rate.
Alternately, you can try using MVAL statement in the transformation file. Please take a look at the below link from help.sap:
Hope this helps.

Credit Limit VS Posted Date Check

Dear Experts
Our client have a requirement on customer credit limit and I would like to seek for some good solutions.
Here I provide one sample scenario: In SAP Business One a customer with a credit limit of $100,000 and account balance of $110,000. After a posted date check of $20,000 is deposited, customer account balance will be reduced to $90,000 and a Sales Order/ AR Invoice with amount less than $10,000 can be added for that customer without credit limit alert.
However, our client thinks that it is not make sense to reduce the customer account balance given that a posted date check is deposited as the posted date check may not be cashed if the customers do not have money in their account.
Would it be possible to separate posted date check payment amount from deducting the customer account balance? or would it be other workarounds?
Thank you very much
Regards
Elton

Dear jbrotto
Thanks for your reply.
Could you explain in details on how to make use of the commitment limit?
As far as I know, commitment limit also considers the account balance of customer

Offline scenario - post data from saved form to SQLServer

This is the scenario am struggling to develop. User downloads the interactive form. Goes offline. I mean no connection to the Web Application Server. But he will have access to a SQLServer database (it may be on his machine or in his intranet). He will fill the form and save it on his local hard disk. Now, I want his saved form data to be posted to the SQLServer. I thought about a couple of ways to do this.
1) Is it possible to change the control type of 'Submit' button to submit and then in the URL field, call some ASP page (this page is deployed on a local IIS) and then submit the form fields to that ASP page which takes care of database connection, posting etc. So user downloads form only once. But fills it with different data each time and clicks submit. First of all, will submit button work when the form is not opened in web browser? I mean when it is saved on a local hard disk opened in a standalone Adobe Reader?
2) Is it possible to write some java program using any APIs and extract the data from the form saved on local hard disk? It may be possible because I have the .xdp file for the form. But I dont know if there are some APIs available to do the same.
Any inputs whether these ideas are feasible? Any other new ideas are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

Hi Narayana,
if you want to export xml data from Reader to local disk you can use a command:
xfa.host.exportData("",0);
It works like from menu Export data from Forms.
To your second post:
Yes, you can save form in Adobe Live cycle designer as pdf and you can open it in Adobe Reader and test it. It will work.
In tab Submit for your button set these properties:
Submit Format: XML Data (XML)
Submit to URL: url of your page
Encoding: UTF8
