form tags?

[Yang Li Ke]

Hi
I know that there is a meta tag function to get all meta tags from a url.
I am searching for a similar function that would get all values of a form.

something like :

<form>
<input type="text" name="name" size="10">
<input type="text" name="url" size="40">
</form>

it would return 'name', 'url'...

Anyone can help?

Yang

Take a look at the arays _GET, _POST (or even _REQUEST). The index of
the array contain the names of the form.

Re: form tags?

Nope. What you can use is preg_match_all to find the names.

preg_match_all( '/<input.*?name\\ s*=\\s*"?([^\\s>"]*)/i', $text, $matches,
PREG_PATTERN_OR DER);
$names = $matches[1];

This has been a fun dive into regexps :-)

I just *love* PHP arrays!



I run this from the shell prompt
pedro$ ./forminputs.php http://www.ebay.com/
___UNNAMED_FORM ___0:
type=[hidden] name=[cgiurl] value=[http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/]
type=[hidden] name=[krd] value=[1]
type=[hidden] name=[from] value=[R8]
type=[hidden] name=[MfcISAPICommand] value=[GetResult]
type=[hidden] name=[ht] value=[1]
type=[hidden] name=[SortProperty] value=[MetaEndSort]
type=[text] name=[query] size=[25] maxlength=[300]
type=[submit] value=[Search] class=[buttonsm]

___UNNAMED_FORM ___1:
type=[submit] value=[Go] class=[buttonsm]

___UNNAMED_FORM ___2:
type=[submit] value=[Go] class=[buttonsm]

popout:
type=[hidden] name=[popupurl] value=[http://pages.ebay.com/merchpopup/sell2all_A.html]



code follows

forminputs.php
#v+

#!/usr/bin/php4
<?php
require_once 'forminputs.inc .php';

$x = get_form_inputs ($argv[1]);

foreach ($x as $form_name=>$co ntents) {
echo $form_name, ":\n ";
foreach ($contents as $inputs) {
foreach ($inputs as $k=>$v) if ($v) echo " $k=[$v]";
echo "\n ";
}
echo "\n";
}
?>

#v-

and now forminputs.inc. php, with the function
#v+

<?php
function get_form_inputs ($file_url) {
$retval = array(); // array that will be returned with the <input>s
$attrs = array('type', 'name', 'value', 'checked', 'disabled', 'readonly',
'size', 'maxlength', 'src', 'alt', 'usemap', 'ismap',
'tabindex', 'accesskey', 'accept', 'id', 'class');
$form_count = 0; // used later to generate unique names
$html = file_get_conten ts($file_url);

// forms cannot have forms inside
preg_match_all( '@(<form\s.*</form>)@isU', $html, $forms);
foreach ($forms[1] as $form) {

// get the form name into $form_name, initialize with a unique name
$form_name = '___UNNAMED_FOR M___' . $form_count++;
if (!preg_match('@ <form[^>]+\sname="([^"]+)"@i', $form, $names)) {
preg_match('@<f orm[^>]+\sname=(\w+)@i ', $form, $names);
}
if (isset($names[1]) && $names[1] != '') $form_name = $names[1];

// get the <input>s
preg_match_all( '@(<input\s[^>]*>)@iU', $form, $inputs);
foreach ($inputs[1] as $input) {

// get the three important input attributes
foreach ($attrs as $a) {
// should make an array with all the attributes and use it in a
// loop
$v[$a] = false; ## default value
if ($a == 'type') $v[$a]='text'; ## default value
if (!preg_match('@ <input[^>]*\s'.$a.'="([^"]+)"@i', $input, $values)) {
preg_match('@<i nput[^>]*\s'.$a.'=(\w+) @i', $input, $values);
}
if (isset($values[1]) && $values[1] != '') $v[$a] = $values[1];
}

// add the <input>s to a new element of the return variable
$retval[$form_name][] = $v;
}

// no select? no textarea? no button? no label?
// no! :)

}
return $retval;
}
?>

<quote src="http://www.php.net/file_get_conten ts">
PHP 4 >= 4.3.0
</quote>

So it seems your PHP is below 4.3.0
Replace that call by

$html = implode('', file($file_url) );
