I have a simple test html form at http://www.radiosport.ca/test/test.html
It use the POST method to send a name to a php script that prints the input
data in the $_POST array and from the raw input data
<?php $data = $_POST['name']; print "\$_POST: $data"; $data =
file_get_conten ts("php://input"); print "Raw Input: $data"; ?>
And I have a test pdf form that uses a HTTP Submit button - it also calls
the php script http://www.radiosport.ca/test/test.pdf
Using 'Robert' as the test name the output from the test html form is
$_POST: Robert
Raw Input: name=Robert
The Output from the test pdf form is
$_POST:
Raw Input:
%00f%00o%00r%00 m%001%00%5b%000 %00%5d%00.%00%2 3%00s%00u%00b%0 0f%00o%00r%00m% 0

I thought the Adobe Form was suppose to send standard URL-encoded data using
the POST method the same as the html form.
Where have I made my mistake?
Can someone point me to a PHP script that processes a pdf form? 3 1677

It depends on the options you chose for the submit button...

what you are going to get from $_POST is PHP's serialized string version of
an array. $_POST is an array. if you read between the %00's, it reads as
follows:
form1[0].#subform[0].name[0]=Robert
(and BTW, POST is just all the form data serialized from the browser thru
HTTP and read into STDIN in C - like typing at the keyboard almost)

Sure doesn't look like a serialized array to me, and if that is the
posted data, then php doesn't have anything to do with it...
However, if you use the following, you can come up with what was found
above:
echo rawurldecode(st r_replace('%00' ,'',($post)));
Simply using rawurldecode produces what looks like a binary string. Was
this PDF made using Adobe Designer?

HI,
I am working on a project where I need to input data to a (local) HTML page
using multiple form elements, such as text, radio, checkbox, and dropdown.
When the form Submit button is clicked, I then need the input data either
written to another location on the same page, or written to another page (a
different frame would be fine)

I have a dynamic page of which I don't know how many forms will be on
it, neither which and how many elements will be in each form.
I use the following java script to disable all elements from all
forms:

Using DOM in IE, how can I loop through FORMs and access FORM elements
in a specific form? For example, www.hotmail.com has about 13 forms.
I believe the one displayed is dependent on the URL. If I want to
access the submit button of the visible form, which is usually the last
one, how is that done?
Currently, I look for type=submit using DOM but it doesn't find
anything and only loops through the first FORM elements.
Sorry if this...

Hi everyone,
I've just spent the last 2 hours banging me head against the desk
trying to figure this one out. I eventually figured out that sometimes
a form doesn't exist for the popup I'm specifying. I'm trying to write
a few functions that help me debug my script by writing variables to a
text area in a popup window. I came up with the following code:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
