Using MySQL & PHP to Store Form Information
Alright, I ran through the tutorials that are included on
here and I still am at a little bit of a loss when trying to create
a form that inputs the data automatically into a MySQL database.
I'll try and explain my situation best I can even though it's kind
of confusing to me. I know how to make the forms, it won't be hard
for me to set them up but I'm not sure how to start out with the
MySQL side of things. My host is HostMonster and I know they
support MySQL. The form needs to have text input along with some
check boxes and radio buttons, just fyi.
Ok, so...On host monster I've setup a new database. But, I'm
not sure how to setup the table within that database so that
information can be added to it. I've looked on all the sites I know
to look and can't find anything and I'm not sure what other phrases
to search for so I could find something. I've already got
dreamweaver setup to connect to the database but like I said, I
don't know what else I need to do in order to setup the form for
sending information to it once it's submitted.
If you need more information from me, I'll help out as much
as I can. This is becoming very frustrating for me and you guys are
always a great help on here.
you need some interface to interact with your DB (add, del,
modify
tables, ...). surely your host company has a one installed
like
phpMyAdmin, Navicat, ...

Insert data into oracle database using a PHP form
I'm trying to enter data into my oracle database table using a php form. When I click submit no data is added. Could someone help me please. I'm new to php/oracle thing.
NOTE: I don't have any problem connecting to the database using php.
Here is the code I'm using:
<?php
// just print form asking for name if none was entered
if( !isset($query)) {
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Name: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=data value=\"$data\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// insert client's name
$query = "INSERT INTO client (name) VALUES ($data)";
// connect to Oracle
$username = "xxxx";
$paswd = "yyyyyy";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>
Thanks for your help. I will also appreciate a better was to do it.
Tonyresumption and jer,
Sorry I cannot format the code for easy reading!
The page is submitting to itself. See action = \"$uri\". I used the same logic to enter SELECT querries into the database. It pulls and displays data back on the webpage. The code I used for this is below. Compare it with the one above for inserting data into the table.
<?php
// connect to oracle
$username = "xxxxx";
$paswd = "yyyyy";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
// username and password will be unset if they weren't passed,
// or if they were wrong
if( !isset($query)) {
// just print form asking for account details
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Query: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=query value=\"$query\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// remove unwanted slashes from the query
$query = stripslashes($query);
// run the query
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
// Open the HTML table.
print '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">';
// Read fetched headers.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="e">'.ocicolumnname($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Read fetched data.
while (ocifetch($stmt))
// Print open and close HTML row tags and columns data.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="v">'.ociresult($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Close the HTML table.
print '</table>';
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);

To have my form information mailed to me, do I need to have a php file?
I've got an account with godaddy, and have tried to make a php document (don't understand the coding) for a simple form, but I can't get the results to show up in my email. I just can't figure out what to put in my php. I copied a template, but none of the data shows up in my email, only the subject. (see at end) Isn't there a much easier way to do all this?

Correct

The php script (or any server side script) does not need to be in the same directory level as your index file or any other html file. You can put it anywhere in the site and provide the path in the form's action.
>and form file 3)some way to connect with the

Not sure exactly what you mean but the script can connect to your mail server to email the message or insert data to a database server - or several other possibilities.
>Then when I hear that godaddy has it's own script. I have no clue "what that means."
Godaddy provides server side scripts that you can use.
>Does that mean I don't need a php file?
It means that you use their php ( or asp) script.
>but I know that seems unlikely because
>there would be no way for godaddy server to
>know how I want it processed.
Many mail form scripts can generically handle form processing. They iterate through all of the form fields and process them accordingly. You need to review the script documentation to make sure you setup your form correctly. -
How to store "hidden information" in Interactive Forms?
Hi all,
I need to store additional information for single fields of a form. This information should not be visible for the user. I retrieve this additonal information by calling a web service in Javascript for each field.
Of course I could simply use additonal fields and mark them as "invisible". Since I need this for each field of my form, I would end up with many many invisible fields. This does not sound like a good idea.
My crude idea is to simply modify the XML Source of the form and include the information there in plain XML. Of course I can do so by simply editing the XML Sourvce in Livecycle Designer. But how can I read out and write into these manually created data structures during run-time? Is there any way to access that? Is the XML source accessible at all during run-time?
Thanks in advance
ChristophHi Christoph,
You can use the WebService and populate the additional information into different fields.
Here you can cheive this by having many single fields and populating information into those fields or by using a single hidden fields and write the JavaScript to populate the information having a delimiter set to defferentiate the different information.
To do this first you call a WebService by having a submit button or you need to cal Webservice from Form Ready event of the field or from the change event of the field(this event works fine for drop down).
From where you are generating the WebService(for eg if its an Function Module), there you need to have an,( eg. variable A), variable as a export parameter. And this parameter must be of type String and in coding you need to concatenate your all information into variable A using a delimiter (like ^, rarely used characters) set by you. And in the form you bind the variable A (in response of the Data Connection ) to hidden variable. Now below the Code where you have called the WebService there write the JavaScript to split the information stored in the Hidden variable.

Alright well here is my issue... I have been trying to fix it on my own for the past week non stop and I have finally came to a solid conclusion as to the cause of the issue.
I always get the error "The server has encountered an error..." in red text when anyone tries to submit a form and also when I try and test it myself. This led me to test the server / site for compatibility or issues by using the test:
mydomain.com /scripts/form_check.php
I got the first two checks green (pass) and the third test threw a red check meaning I was having an issue with SQL verification. This then led me to days of trying to work with my hosting provider (one.com) trying to solve the problem and I was told that they use mySQL on their servers and that they couldn't do anything on their end to solve the issue. I read alot that we are recommended in this case to try and get our host to add the SQLite database to their server or whatever it is they would do, long story short I guess many people are able to ask their host to make SQLite work and most accept and add SQLite functionality to their servers but unfortunately my hosting provider doesn't want to do this and they said they were sorry and that I would need to either switch the script to work with mySQL or figure something else out...
I took a lot of time building my site and I dont want to take the form out. I absolutely need it... I know many post on here saying "forms dont work, oh poop " or "adobe sucks I dont want to use business catalyst grrr" but I tried to find the source of the problem and I've successfully came to the conclusion that my issue is that my script wants to use SQLite but in order for my sites forms to work the server needs to have SQLite as well... My idea is that if I can configure the script and the site itself to use mySQL instead of SQLite the SQL verification will then not be an issue and my websites forms will function with no issues. I am curious if a member of the staff with adobe has experience with this particular issue and can help me out? or if a member of the adobe community has solved this problem? If not I am hoping that with the description I provided that someone with knowledge of mysql, sqlite or code in general could help me modify the script or write a new script that will allow the forms to work properly. I know its a long shot, I say that because this discussion is full of people who used muse in favor of dreamweaver because just like a large number of people in the muse discussion area, I'm a graphic designer, with plenty of computer experience, art and design skill and I am extremely familiar with photoshop. Muse is perfect in so many ways. In fact, like I mentioned above, I don't even have a complaint at this time about muse. I understand the form issue in this case, and I imagine in thousands of other users situations, is all just a matter of scripts and compatibility.. Its just a little issue between the SQLite scripts we are all given when we export our muse website and the SQL version our various hosting service may be using on their servers.
Just incase I missed anything, to provide just a bit more info on the topic and myself for anyone who may be able to help:
I can alter the text inside of the scripts easily if anyone happens to know any lines of code that easily solve this issue (making the muse contact forms, which are native to SQLite, functional on a server using mySQL)
I was told one way I could make the forms work on a server using mySQL (or any version other than SQLite) If I were to make changes to adobe muses SQL version by converting the SQLite db to mySQL db (db = database)
I am computer literate and I can take any directions necessary, I really just need to get this done, I really appreciate any help I can get!!
Thank you in advance,
Roy<?php

I want to be able to fill out the form and it place itself into Sheet 1 without changing everytime. I can index the array from the form, but it changes everytime.You think it would be the other way around.
Just speculation, but forms probably came to iOS first because of likely use for data entry in the field that syncs back to the Mac. On a small screen with a touch interface, forms make inputing values easier.
On the Mac, with its bigger screen, typing directly into a data table often works well enough.

I applied and received an upgrade code to Redeem Mountain Lion for my new MBP.
I get this message when I try to Sign in to the App Store after entering the redemption content code, and also if I just try to "Sign In". The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
I received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
I also tried to re-create this appleID...(it was one suggestion I saw for this issue) It doesn't let me since the ID already exists...
The error is:
"This Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. Please review your account information." I click "Review", next message "You must turn on cookies to continue. Cookies must be enabled if you want to create or edit.. etc."
It's clearly not a cookie issue.. Stuck...The first part of the error is true - I haven't used the AppleID with the iTunes store.
Try here > Using an existing Apple ID with the iTunes Store and Mac App Store
received the upgrade code using this same AppleID, so I don't think I can use a different AppleID.
Correct.
It's clearly not a cookie issue..
As for cookies. Quit the App Store. Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder.
Type this exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Cookies
Click Go the move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.

Apple id has not been used with the itunes store-please review your account information
Hello,
Good Day.
I bought apple ipad 2 and need help.
I registered online and after this i am getting the error.
apple id has not been used with the itunes store-please review your account information
Can any one help me in this issue.
Thanks&Regards,
Shankar.MThis is information you you have created an apple id.
To use this apple id for the itunes store, you have to agree to the terms and conditions and enter in the requested information before you can use the store.
When you create an apple id it does not mean you gain access to all apples features, you would need to create a :-
Itunes id
Facetime id
Game centre id
imessage id
icloud id
You can use the same email address as each login. but until you agree to each terms and conditions you wont be able to access the services.
This is usually done the first time you access each service and sign in with your apple id.
As to iTunes you need a little extra as they will request to confirm details as to address, etc, with the payment information they can confirm you are actually in that country you are trying to purchase from.
Once you have added the credit card details, you can go back in a set payment method to none and remove the credit card details once you have activated the itunes on your apple id.
Basically this message you are getting is just ADDING the feature of iTunes store to your apple id, and confirms you have not got a iTunes id yet. -
Can you create a form not using a php script?
I need to create a contact us form on my website using DW and have researched how and understand the easiest way is using a php script. Unfortuntately, my webhost server does not support this and will charge me an arm and a leg in order to to do it. Is there another way to have a functioning contact form not using a php script?
Yes and no.
You could use a mailto link for your form action instead of a PHP script.
There are several problems with this method though. First, when you do that, you are at the mercy of the viewer's computer set-up. Mailto links use whatever email client is installed on the machine in order to send the message. Public computers (libraries, colleges, etc) almost never have an email client installed, so when a viewer on one of those machines clicks the link, nothing happens. Secondly, your email address is open for spam harvesters, so you may end up with enlargement and nigerian scam emails flooding your inbox.
Since your provider doesn't give you a way to do it the right way on your server, you may want to look into email form services online and see if they are less expensive than your current alternative. -
I erase my mac book pro to factory setting and cannot re-install the software. I received a message saying my Apple ID has not yet used with the App store. Please review your account information. Could anyone help please. I need to re-install my os.
Use Internet Recovery. You shouldn't need an AppleID. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
Internet Recovery will install the OS that shipped with the Mac. You can then upgrade to Mavericks if that was not it.
Do you have an App Store account? Did you ever use it to install the OS? -
I am getting this message on my iPad : This Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes Store. Tap Review to sign in, then review your account information.
Hi Abdul5,
This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
- Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
- Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.
