PHP Bug in Form Code?

Hi,

when I'm handing over a variable via URL (like http.....?kid=100) the code works perfectly:

    <input class="cf_inputbox" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_1" name="vorname" type="text" value ="<? echo $_GET['kid']; ?>" />

But, when I try to use the same variable in the same form in an image tag like this:

<img src="http://www...../pics/<? echo $_GET['kid']; ?>.jpg" />

I only get this result (no image, just the rest of the tag)

Output

.jpg" />

It's really strange for me, because I just inserted the same php code in another html tag. Besides, it doesn't matter if I use <?php oder just <?

Then I did another test and this time the whole form doesn't show up:

<img src="http://www......./pics/<? echo "test.jpg"; ?> />

Output:

nothing at all

Is there a bug or is it me?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

Hi Frank,

Not seen this before but I suspect that the problem is the / before the PHP tags - this may act to escape the <

Try this:

<img src="<?php echo http://www...../pics/".$_GET['kid'].".jpg" ?> />

PS you can use <?, <?php or <?= here and any of them should work OK. I pretty much always use the full version of the tag for clarity and consistency.

Thanks Bob,

it doesn't work. The form doesn't show up. I tried also some other code without an img or " and it also doesn't work. But on the other hand this code works without a problem:

    <input class="cf_inputbox" maxlength="150" size="30" title="" id="text_1" name="kid" type="text" value ="<? echo substr($_GET['id'], -11); ?>" />

Did you try your own img code in a form?

Hi Frank,

Did you try your own img code in a form?

I didn't test the amendment to your code that I posted - I'm afraid that if I did for every snippet I would rarely answer anything here.

Fortunately they work more often than not. In this case a few fixes are required, and this version works OK:

<img src='<?php echo "{my_domain}/images/stories/".$_GET['kid'].".jpg"; ?>' />

I'm having a similar error.
Here's my code in the Form HTML

<div class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_heading">
    <h2 class="cf_text">
   <p> Please fill in this form. If you worked this day the Start, End, and   Hours worked must be filled out.</p> 
<p></p>
<p>Thanks</p>
 </h2>
  </div>
  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<?php echo $usr_name."<br>"; ?> #For Testing
<input type="hidden" name="Name" value="<?php echo $usr_name; ?>" />

  <div class="cfclear"> </div>
</div>

<?php echo $WD; ?> # For Testing
<input id="hidden_1" name="Date" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $WD; ?>" />

And the resulting html looks like this when the form is run.

<div class="form_item"> 
  <div class="form_element cf_heading"> 
    <h2 class="cf_text"> 
   <p> Please fill in this form. If you worked this day the Start, End, and   Hours worked must be filled out.</p> 
<p></p> 
<p>Thanks</p> 
 </h2> 
  </div> 
  <div class="cfclear"> </div> 
</div> 
 
<br><input type="hidden" name="Name" value="" /> 
 
  <div class="cfclear"> </div> 
</div> 
 
<input id="hidden_1" name="Date" type="hidden" value="" />  

Yet this is the output is

Where you see Joe Pilot and APR 02 2010 is were my testing code is outputting.
I'm using the latest stable release of Chrono Forms. ChronoForms_V3.1_RC5.5.zip
Any ideas?

Hi Sean,

That looks fine - neither $usr_name nor $WD have values so they show up as blanks.

I have no idea where the 'Joe Pilot' comes from - there is nothing in your Form HTML to show it.

Hello,

Did you try your own img code in a form?

I'm sorry Bob. I just realized that I didn't answer your last statement and furthermore my question could have sounded quite rude. But I just wondered back then if you did get the same mistake. That's what happended if you're in a hurry.😉

Best regards and thanks for your great support,
Frank

Hi Frank,

Thanks, no problem.
