Hello,


If you visit RSGE + [x]Item[x] and you just click 'submit query' or the submit button, you are redirected to save.php, then you are redirected to the item list. I want the item list to be in a table, but it doesn't come up as one..

Save.Php Code:

<html>

<head>

<title>Ohaider</title>

</head>


<body>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=./forms/description.html">

<?php


$rsn = $_POST[rsn];

$date = $_POST[date];

$mod = $_POST[mod];

$why = $_POST[why];

$data = "$rsn $date $mod $why"; 


//open the file and choose the mode 

$fh = fopen("./forms/description.html", "a"); 

fwrite($fh, $data);


//close the file 

fclose($fh); 


?></table>


Thank for submitting your information. You will be redirected shortly to <b>http://rsge.org/forms/Ohi.html.</b> This is our main buy/sell page. And again, thanks.


</body>

It's not the best way, to modify the html file with your list like that. I suggest you save the items in a database instead, mysql or sqlite is good suggestions. mysql if you have access to such a server, otherwise sqlite, as it's an database engine shipped with php and only uses a file to store the data, wherever you want.

I do not get your question here, can you not create it in table format, or are you having trouble doing so? Is this your code or one you are modifying?

Also @ Orjan's edit, context of a site (and its history revolving) is important.

Thanks for your reply. Basically, the form is in HTML which I have a bit of experience in but the Save.php is in Php. I want to make so the data is created in a table format with different columns.


Http://rsge.org/item.html - Form
http://rsge.org/forms/save.php - Processing Data
http://rsge.org/forms/ohi.php - Item List (I want this is in table format, automatically)

Your application flow is a bit off. You are automatically redirecting (through <meta> tag) to description.html, but you say you are redirecting to "ohi.php"?

Now as you are not using a database (only file handling) you will need to be creative in how to append to the table. You may wish to make description.html to this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <title>description.html</title>
</head>
<body>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'arial black','avant garde';">Here are the waiting to be sold or people waiting to buy: ( [****] = space between each seller )<br /> </span></span></p>
<table>
<tr><th>rsn</th><th>date</th><th>mod</th><th>why</th></tr>
This will mean that each new entry will append to the table. To add to the table with your original code:
$rsn = $_POST['rsn'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$mod = $_POST['mod'];
$why = $_POST['why'];
$data = "$rsn $date $mod $why"; 

$data = "<tr><td>$rsn</td><td>$date</td><td>$mod</td><td>$why</td></tr>\n";

//open the file and choose the mode 
$fh = fopen("./forms/description.html", "a"); 
fwrite($fh, $data);

//close the file 
fclose($fh);
But note description.html will not have a </table> tag, as you are appending to it constantly, so you will need to call it through a PHP file instead:

description.php:
print file_get_contents('./forms/description.html');
print "</table></body></html>"; //complete the table for display
This is a bit troubling because you are not using a database, so again you will need to be creative.

A link that gives a 404 is of no such use, that's why I removed the link and let the text be left.

Hello,

I've added in all of the codes, but one problem. RSGE + [x]Item[x] - When you submit an item, it doesn't show up on RSGE + [x]Item Index[x] and it shows the contents of description.php




Description.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>

<head>

  <title>description.html</title>

</head>

<body>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: 'arial black','avant garde';">Here are the waiting to be sold or people waiting to buy: ( [****] = space between each seller )<br /> </span></span></p>

<table>

<tr><th>rsn</th><th>date</th><th>mod</th><th>why</th></tr>

Save.php

<html>

<head>

<title>Ohaider</title>

</head>


<body>

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=./forms/description.html">

<?php


$rsn = $_POST['rsn'];

$date = $_POST['date'];

$mod = $_POST['mod'];

$why = $_POST['why'];

$data = "$rsn $date $mod $why"; 


$data = "<tr><td>$rsn</td><td>$date</td><td>$mod</td><td>$why</td></tr>\n";


//open the file and choose the mode 

$fh = fopen("./forms/description.html", "a"); 

fwrite($fh, $data);


//close the file 

fclose($fh);  


?></table>

Try to keep one account, or warn us you are the OP atleast.

Where are you stuck at? It still may be hard to write, as you're using a somewhat complex scenario to write data to a file that is reused. Personally I would log data to a file, and not an HTML file, say:

$rsn = $_POST['rsn'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$mod = $_POST['mod'];
$why = $_POST['why'];

//tab delimited file
$data = "$rsn\t$date\t$mod\t$why\n"; 

$fh = fopen("./forms/data.txt", "a"); 
fwrite($fh, $data);

//close the file 
fclose($fh);

Then just to keep it simple, here is an example PHP form that would display the data in a proper table this time (should work):
$data = file_get_contents('./forms/data.txt');
$lines = explode("\n", $data); //separate into lines

print "<table><tr><th>rsn</th><th>date</th><th>mod</th><th>why</th></tr>\n";
foreach($lines as $line) {
    $data = explode("\t", $line); //separate into data
    //formulate table
    print "<tr><td>{$data[0]}</td><td>{$data[1]}</td><td>{$data[2]}</td><td>{$data[3]}</td></tr>";
}
print "</table>"; //done!

That is much easier than what you were doing, and makes data into a nice friendly data file for you.

@NullW0rm

Sponge and I are co-owners of RSGE. This is not sponge. And thanks, this code should work.

In addition to that code, this:

$data = file_get_contents('./forms/data.txt');

$lines = explode("\n", $data); //separate into lines


print "<table><tr><th>rsn</th><th>date</th><th>mod</th><th>why</th></tr>\n";

foreach($lines as $line) {

    $data = explode("\t", $line); //separate into data

    //formulate table

    print "<tr><td>{$data[0]}</td><td>{$data[1]}</td><td>{$data[2]}</td><td>{$data[3]}</td></tr>";

}

print "</table>"; //done!

Goes where? save.php or description.php? And btw the Ohi.php shows an iframe display of "description.php" Please respond I am new and still learning PHP.

Description.php I would assume, because it will display the table of the data entered by my last save.php
