If you go to the page from example.com/apply/index.php?refid=123
And you fill out the form, it will not record refid 123.
However, if you go to example.com/apply/index.php?refid=123
And then leave the page, and then go back to example.com/apply
Then it will record refid 123 in the csv when you submit the form.
I'm not sure why its working like that, is there something I missed?
I tried adding this code below to the form, and adding
$refid to the list of fwrite
but it did not change anything.
Code:
<input type="hidden" id="refid" name="refid" value="<?php echo $refid; ?>" />
I deleted that since it was not doing anything. This is what I have now:
PHP Code:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION["rewards"] = '';
$value = '';
if(isset($_GET['refid'])){
setcookie("njfailREWARDsystem", $_GET['refid'], time()+604800);
}else if(isset($_COOKIE["njfailREWARDsystem"])){
$value = $_COOKIE["njfailREWARDsystem"];
$_SESSION["rewards"] = $value;
}
if(isset($_POST["msoft"]) && $_POST["msoft"] == 'junk')
{
$errorMessage = "";
if(empty($_POST['publishername']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter your name in the field below.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['publisheremail']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter your email in the field below.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['websitename']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter a name for your website.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['websiteurl']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter your website's URL.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['uniqueviews']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter an estimate of your website's monthly unique views.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['rawviews']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter an estimate of your website's monthly raw impressions.</li>";
}
if(empty($_POST['websitedescription']))
{
$errorMessage .= "<li>Please enter a description for your website.</li>";
}
$varpublishername = $_POST['publishername'];
$varpublisheremail = $_POST['publisheremail'];
$varwebsitename = $_POST['websitename'];
$varwebsiteurl = $_POST['websiteurl'];
$varuniqueviews = $_POST['uniqueviews'];
$varrawviews = $_POST['rawviews'];
$varwebsitedescription = $_POST['websitedescription'];
if(empty($errorMessage))
{
//define the receiver of the email
$to = $_POST['publisheremail'];
//define the subject of the email
$subject = 'ValueViewMedia Application Confirmation';
//define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n
$message = $_POST['publishername']. ",\n\nThank you for applying to become a ValueViewMedia publisher!\nWe will review your application, and contact you with the results within 48 hours.\n\nThank you,\nValueViewMedia";
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: publishers@valueviewmedia.com\r\nReply-To: publishers@valueviewmedia.com";
//send the email
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
$fs = fopen("publisherapps.csv","a");
fwrite($fs,$varpublishername . ", " . $varpublisheremail . ", " . $varwebsitename . ", " . $varwebsiteurl . ", " . $varuniqueviews . ", " . $varrawviews . ", " . $varwebsitedescription . ", " . $value . "\n");
fclose($fs);
header("Location: /publishers/success/");
exit;
}

Also I looked up Regex like you suggested
Do you think this code would remove everything except letters numbers _ and -
I think those are all the important characters.
Could you tell me where in my code I should place this?
PHP Code:
<?php
function dataCleasing($data){
$data = strip_tags ($data); // remove HTML Tags
// remove Incorrect encoding characters
$data = preg_replace('/[^\w-]/', '', $data);
$data = str_replace ( "\n", "", $data );//remove Enter
$data = str_replace ( ",", "", $data );//remove Comma
$data = str_replace ( "\t", "", $data );//remove TAB
$data = str_replace ( "\r\n", "", $data );//remove Enter
$data = trim($data);
return $data;
}
?>
Also, thank you for all the help sunfighter. I greatly appreciate it!
