Converting JavaScript to PHP

LaC0saNostra · March 27, 2014

Hello everybody. I have begun developing websites for the first time about 2 months ago. I have been learning so much and have gotten into HTML, XML, and JavaScript. I have now begun learning alot about PHP. As people are telling me it is very useful in website development. I made a sample website allowing a user to utilize a drop-down box to select a general feedback or help request form. Is there a way to convert my JavaScript part into PHP? I heard for server purposes this is a smart technique. I bolded where the JavaScript is. My code is as follows:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<title>Edward Schubauer's Web Form</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1> My Personal Web Form</h1>

</div>

<p> I have been working diligently on this website. My portal page has some sample information and my CSS page has different examples of what concepts I have learned. At this point I would greatly appreciate if I could get some feedback on my webpage with the form below for you the user to fill out! Every person that gives me feedback will allow for vital information to improve the experience on this website. As always, your time will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. </p>

<div align="center">

<form action="http://cdlwebsysdev.esc-atsystems.net/eschubauer/M2.2/web_form_page.html" method="post">

<select name="URL" onchange="window.location.href=this.form.URL.options[this.form.URL.selectedIndex].value">

<option value="">Choose a form</option>

<option value="http://cdlwebsysdev.esc-atsystems.net/eschubauer/M3.1/general_feedback_form.html"> General Feedback</option>

<option value="http://cdlwebsysdev.esc-atsystems.net/eschubauer/M3.1/help_request_form.html"> Help Request</option>

</select>

<input type="submit" value="Send" />

<input type="reset" value="Reset" />

</form>

I am certainly no Php expert but to me what you are are suggesting makes no sense. HTML files contain forms -- and Php files process forms, and the bolded section above is an HTML form. The form action should be a Php page. Now maybe you are talking about the form validation Javascript inside the attached files. Yes the Php file should perform validation of the form, but Php server-side validation is done __in addition to__ Javascript client-side validation -- they are both done. The client-side validation is intended to reduce the number of invalid forms that the server needs to process and also provide a quicker response to the user.

--EDIT--

Oh, that isn't really a form. All you want is a dropdown menu to provide redirection? You don't need a form or a form action or Php.

 <select onchange="location.assign(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)">   <option value="">Choose a form</option>   <option value="f.html"> Go to File F </option>   <option value="r.html"> Go to File R </option> </select>

If you're talking about using PHP to redirect someone based on a dropdown in a form, then the difference is that with PHP you need to submit the form to the server, PHP can get the value, and send a location header to redirect the user. Using Javascript doesn't require the form to be submitted to the server.

LaC0saNostra · March 30, 2014

Alright thank you for this advice guys. I think I was wording my question wrong. I wanted to use an if statement with a $_GET array so when the drop down box processes it uses PHP to go onto the server and re-direct the user. I am going to do a little bit more research though regarding what I am trying to accomplish before posting any more. Regardless I think your replies have set me straight on just exactly what I am trying to do here.

LaC0saNostra · April 1, 2014

The code I bolded below changed my file into a PHP file. I then changed the form method to "get." Now I just need to convert this into PHP code:

<select name="URL" onchange="window.location.href=this.form.URL.options[this.form.URL.selectedIndex].value">

<option value="">Choose a form</option>

<option value="http://cdlwebsysdev.esc-atsystems.net/eschubauer/M3.1/general_feedback_form.html"> General Feedback</option>

<option value="http://cdlwebsysdev.esc-atsystems.net/eschubauer/M3.1/help_request_form.html"> Help Request</option>

</select>

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking how to submit a form to a PHP script?

davej · April 1, 2014

...Now I just need to convert this into PHP code:

As we said above -- that doesn't really make any sense. If all you want to do is redirection then it is more efficient to use Javascript. Php is used when you have a real form containing real data that needs to be submitted to the server, such as for a log-in, or for storage in a database.

You have created a form where there is no need for a form.

If you want to learn Php and learn what Php is for then go here...

http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_syntax.asp

thescientist · April 1, 2014

To be clear, Javascript and PHP are two different languages (albeit with similar syntax) that run in two different domains. Javascript is used to interact and respond to events in the browser based on user input, while PHP operates on the server, connecting and communicating with databases, the filesystem, and the like.

Through AJAX and / or forms, you can have Javascript communicate with PHP on the backed, but there's really no conversion process per se. You write the code for what the language / platform / domain supports.

LaC0saNostra · April 2, 2014

Well let's assume I want to create a drop-down box giving the user the opportunity to select either my general feedback form or my help request form. I want this all to happen communicating to the server. Would I utilize an "if" statement to accomplish this?

thescientist · April 2, 2014

That's a very vague question.

Likely there will be if statements regardless if how you architect it, but that's not really important. You really need to focus on what part needs to what. You would probably best be served by reading the PHP form documentation on w3schools.

If you want to toggle forms on a page for a user to submit, then do that with Javascript. When the form is submitted, then you would have PHP code to handle that. You could either have one PHP script per form, or one PHP script to handle both forms. It all depends on how you want it to work.

davej · April 2, 2014

I want to create a drop-down box giving the user the opportunity to select either my general feedback form or my help request form.

As TheScientist says, that is still a Javascript job. Now to RECEIVE, PROCESS and SAVE those forms on the SERVER -- you need Php.

LaC0saNostra · April 3, 2014

What I am trying to accomplish is to add a PHP script to this same page that checks if the $_GET array has a value for my select box defined. If my select field contents don't exist in the $_GET array, then the page should not display either type of my form. If a value for my select field is present in the $_GET array, then I want it to go to the forms I have.

So basically I need to first create the code in HTML and get rid of the JavaScript. This is for training purposes so I understand the concepts of PHP. I am going to be working with FTP server's and databases more so I want to get use to PHP.

thescientist · April 3, 2014

you know Javascript can read the URI too...

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5448545/how-to-retrieve-get-parameters-from-javascript

IMO, I would just have Javaacript check for the query params and load the page accordingly. Then your JS can just worry about the presentation logic, and PHP only has to deal with processing the form submissions.

davej · April 3, 2014

Adjusting how forms are displayed is Javascript's job. Processing and storing data from submitted forms is Php's job.

LaC0saNostra · April 8, 2014

Ok guys after your advice and working on this for the past week this was what I am trying to accomplish. I have two seperate pages. The first page is:

<?php

$menu_choice='null';

if(!empty($_GET['$menu_choice'])){

?>

showform(menu);

<?php

}

?>

<form name="menu" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['assignment5-2.php']?>" method="post">

<p>Please Choose a selection from the box below:

<SELECT id="form" name="menu_choice" size="1">

<OPTION value = "null"> </OPTION>

<OPTION value = "general_feedback">General Feedback </OPTION>

<OPTION value = "help_request">Help Request </OPTION>

</SELECT>

<input type ="SUBMIT" value"SELECT" name="select">

</p>

</form>

The second page is suppose to process the drop-down box:

<?php

$to="lac0sanostra11@gmail.com";

$cc=" ";

$subject="WSD: Assignment 5.2";

$referer = strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);

$this_url = "http://cdlwebsysdev.esc-atsystems.net/";

if ($this_url != substr( $referer, 0, 19) ) {

echo "<h1>Error!</h1><p>You do not have permission to use this script from another URL.</p>";

exit;

}

?>

document.getElementById('helpform').style.visibility='hidden';

}

else if (theoption=="feed")

document.getElementById('helpform').style.visibility='hidden';

}

else if (theoption=="help")

$city=$_POST['CustCity'];

$state=$_POST['CustState'];

$zip=$_POST['CustZipCode'];

$country=$_POST['CustCountry'];

$rate=$_POST['Rating'];

$from=$_POST['FromAddress'];

$message=$_POST['CustComment'];

As you can see I still have the Javascript involved but I feel it needs to be switched with "if" statements to go with the rest of my code. Maybe I wasn't explaining myself clearly when I first asked my question.

You started out with two forms and one little drop-down menu and you seem to be utterly confused about what to do next. Those two forms can be easily combined along with the drop-down menu. See the file below. What you need to do is write form-to-email.php which is the Php file that both of these forms are sent to when they are submitted.
