[resolved] Getting info to pre populate?

JsteRmX · 10-29-2006, 01:24 AM

Hey, here is the website I am working on so that you can see what I am asking

http://domains.jesslester.com

What I want to happen, is when someone clicks on Make Offer, I want the corresponding domain name to automatically fill in where the person would enter the domain they are making an offer on. I want this to automatically populate. I know i could just create a different page for each domain, but I really rather not since I would have to make a new one for each domain.

Is this possible?

Thanks

Ok, do something like this.

For your link, on the homepage, have

HTML Code:

/makeoffer.php?name=$domainvar

Remember, change $domainvar to your variable for the names.
Eg, $domains['name'], or whatever you use

Then, on makeoffer.php, add into your PHP page.

PHP Code:

  $domain_name = $_GET['name'];

Then, in your form, on makeoffer.php, on the name textbox, set the value to $domain_name.

Replace:

HTML Code:

 <input name="domain" type="text" size="20" maxlength="255" />

with

HTML Code:

 <input name="domain" type="text" value="$domain_name" size="20" maxlength="255" />

Done. It should work

If you want some help, just PM me.

hmm well this doesnt work. you can check the site again to see what happens now. I only tried this out on the first domain name in the list.

What I see in the text box now is $domain_name

I think the problem is that I never set the variables for all the domains. How would I go about doing this?

You need to replace $domainvar with the actual variable name of your "domain var" and use PHP to echo it into the URL. We can't know what the variable actually is without seeing your code.

JsteRmX · 10-31-2006, 06:31 PM

well i dont have a variable for them, that i know of?

here is some of the code so you can see.

makeoffer.php (this is not complete code, just the important parts. It would be way to long to post the whole file)

PHP Code:

  <?php

$domain_name = $_GET['name'];

?>

 
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="makeoffercode.php">

        <label><span class="style21">Domain Name:

        <input name="domain" type="text" value="$domain_name" size="20" maxlength="255" />

          </span></label>

        <p class="style21">Offer Amount: 

          <label>

          <input name="offer" type="text" value="$" size="10" maxlength="255" />

          </label>

        </p>

        <p align="left" class="style2 style1 style21">Your Email Address:

            <input name="emailfrom" type="text" size="20" maxlength="255" />

        </p>

        <p align="left" class="style2 style1 style21">Your Name:

            <input name="name" type="text" size="20" maxlength="255" />

        </p>

        <p align="left" class="style2 style1 style21">Other Message:</p>

        <p align="left" class="style2 style1 style21"><span class="style21">

          <label>

            <textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="4"></textarea>

            </label>

          </span></p>

        <p>

          <label>

          <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />

          </label>

        </p>

        <p>&nbsp;</p>

      </form>

index.php (again, just the important parts)

PHP Code:

      <table width="100%" border="1" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#CCCCCC">

      <tr bgcolor="#DBDBDB">

        <td width="20%" height="24" bgcolor="#D6E6F8"><span class="style19">AgeiaPhysxCard.com</span></td>

        <td width="20%" bgcolor="#D6E6F8"><div align="center" class="style19">07/24/07</div></td>

        <td width="20%" bgcolor="#D6E6F8"><div align="center" class="style19"><a href="http://www.sedo.com/search/details.php4?domain=ageiaphysxcard.com&amp;tracked=&amp;partnerid=&amp;language=us" target="_blank">Make Offer at Sedo </a></div></td>

        <td width="20%" bgcolor="#D6E6F8"><div align="center" class="style19"><a href="https://www.afternic.com/name.php?id=13777812">Make Offer at Afternic</a> </div></td>

        <td width="20%" valign="middle" bgcolor="#D6E6F8"><form action="" method="post" name="offer1" class="style19" id="offer1">

          <div align="center"><a href="http://domains.jesslester.com/makeoffer.php?name=$domainvar">Make Offer</a>          </div>

        </form></td>

and that pretty much just repeats for every domain name listed in the table.

Please let me know if you need to see more.

Thanks for all the help.

I am sure this would have been much easier to make using MySQL. perhaps i should i consider redoing the whole thing.

If you have each separate thing like that, you will have to change $domainvar to the domain yourself (for each one).

JsteRmX · 11-01-2006, 07:43 PM

after trying many different things, i still am not able to get this to work.

In the link I changed the $domainvar to the actual Domain Name, but this didnt seem to work.

Not sure what is wrong

thanks for the help though.
