How do I get information from an order page to:

[ghost2012]

How do I get information from and html order form to a Php Form developed that will take the submitted information and transfer it to the confirmation page. Only the information that was selected will be transferred. No hiding information will be allowed. Therefore the information that was selected from the order form will transfer to the confirmation page and it has been verified then the remaining information will be submitted for completion of order. I have and order form already with the php form for processing the order and responding with an email. But my problem is that the order for is very large and the client wants just what is ordered not 0's in the non ordered spaces. This is my delimea and I am a noob. So if anyone can help me please do. Or is there a java script validation that will cancel out 0's in the html part of the form.

if(!(empty($_POST['formelement']))
{
     //variable declaration goes here
} 

That'll only assign variables if they contain information. I would suggest creating an array to hold names of form elements and whether or not they're supposed to be enabled for the confirmation page, and assigning those in the empty check as well.

Follow me?

<?php



// Receiving variables
@$pfw_ip= $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
@$company = addslashes($_POST['company']);
@$customerCode = addslashes($_POST['customerCode']);
@$address = addslashes($_POST['address']);
@$phone = addslashes($_POST['phone']);
@$suiteno = addslashes($_POST['suiteno']);
@$orderedby = addslashes($_POST['orderedby']);
@$city = addslashes($_POST['city']);
@$states = addslashes($_POST['states']);
@$zipcode = addslashes($_POST['zipcode']);
@$item001 = addslashes($_POST['item001']);
@$item002 = addslashes($_POST['item002']);
@$item003 = addslashes($_POST['item003']);
@$item004 = addslashes($_POST['item004']);
@$item005 = addslashes($_POST['item005']);

// Validation
//Sending Email to form owner
$pfw_header = "From: $customerCode\n"
. "Reply-To: $customerCode\n";
$pfw_subject = "test subject";
$pfw_email_to = "test@test.com";
$pfw_message = "Visitor's IP: $pfw_ip\n"
. "company: $company "
. "customerCode: $customerCode "
. "orderedby: $orderedby\n"
. "address: $address "
. "suiteno: $suiteno "
. "phone: $phone\n"
. "city: $city "
. "states: $states "
. "zipcode: $zipcode\n"
. "item001: $item001 "
. "item002: $item002 "
. "item003: $item003 "
. "item004: $item004 "
. "item005: $item005 "
@mail($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ;


?>


This is a demo for the test code that I'm using. How do I get only the information that is chosing from the initial orderform which is Html to the confirmation page. That would show only what is ordered.

if you receiving post data, you can check any post value by isset($_POST['your_post_var']) logic

[Cups]

When developing forms, just do this at the start of the form handling page;

var_dump( $_POST );

to keep an eye on what is actually happening to the variables, 0 (integer) is not the same as '0' (string) - though PHP will try and process them the same if you do not enforce strictness.

But to answer your question, about explicitly testing for 0's, and making conditions depending upon them.

This sample below works for both 0 and '0', by consciously not enforcing strictness with === or !== but using !=

An example showing how to then use concatenate to add to a string to build up your message.

$pfw_header = "This is the start of the message.\n";
$pfw_header .= "This is line two \n";

if( $phone != 0 ) $pfw_header .= "Tel:  $phone\n" ;

echo $pfw_header ; 

Why all those @ error suppressors?

[ghost2012]

Not really sure about all the @ its from looking over other examples and putting one together that works basically. Now I'm asked to design the form where it only recieves items selected instead of the whole form itself that's where I'm lost at now. Any Ideas or suggestions I'm open for.

[Cups]

The form handler only receives what it is sent.

if nobody puts anything in this box, nothing is sent

<input type=text id=test value="" />

if nobody picks an item from this select, a default value is sent. If a checkbox is not checked then nothing is sent.

You really should try all of those options in a form which posts back to itself with this line at the top.

<?php
var_dump($_POST);
?>

Get rid of the @s then you don't need them.
