Form Action URL for 'View' Page?

murugesanme · #1 (**permalink**) 02-20-2008, 08:31 AM

Hi,

I am using a HTML input form to get books information. If i give the action URL like "index.php" then it goes to different page. Can anyone tell me what we have to give in the action url.

the action="" would usually be the same page that you had the form on. but it can be anything. If the app is going to be on the root level, make sure you start your urls with "/"

if you are trying to go to the indexAction in the IndexController then it should be

PHP Code:


			
<form action="/" >
blah blah
</form>

If i am doing "Update" option, the current url will be like this.
http://localhost/html/user/edit/id/3.

While giving "update" button, the action url will be "../../../update" and submitted with "update" key. I just added this "../" to remove the curren url keys.Is this correct?. So, finally the url will be like this:
http://localhost/html/user/update/.

Hi,

I have created some basic files for ZF using html,applications,library folders. Then the url was like this.
http://localhost/html/user/add

And now i just removed the "html" folder and placed all the "html" folder files in the root directory itself. So, If i am trying to access the same like above action url, it is not functioning.
http://localhost/user/useradd/ (without html directory).

But if i use the index.php/controller/actionkey Then its working. How to solve this.
http://localhost/index.php/user/useradd/

Anyone plz tell me one solution.

NO, this is far less complicated than you think.
If you start out your url with '/' you do not need to keep jumping to the parent level. Every URL you use is going to be relative to your bootstrap file (index.php).

http://localhost/html/user/edit/id/3

PHP Code:


			
<form action="/user/edit/id/3">

</form>

if that is not working, try

PHP Code:


			
<form action="html/user/edit/id/3">

</form>

But, if you need to be using the second example to get it to work, you have not set your DocumentRoot to http://localhost/html/ which i suggest you do.

Do not place the 'html' files on the same level as 'application' and 'library'.

Place them back in the folder 'html', then configure your server to have /html/ be the DocumentRoot.

Give the action to the page you are having the form i guess this would be the correct format.

I need to find a way to use the <Form action="--------"> to put something in those tags and when you click submit, the results change into a file and they go to me.

Is there a way to do that? I use Apple iWeb © and I'm pretty sure there is not a way to create a URL into the Action part of the Form. I have already made a form, I just need a way to figure out how to see everyone's results after they click "Submit".

There are a lot of ways I'm sure, but I just want an easy one without using a database, if possible. If it isn't, I'll use one, but I just wanna see the results.

Any suggestions?
