[WEB400] Attempting to pass html text box into PHP to call an RPG program
All I want to do is prompt for a search name on a web page, then take
whatever is keyed in and pass it to my RPG program, which will load my
information, which I will use to populate a page of names.
I cannot get the text box information "out".
I have researched. And to my frustration, the examples out there are
"hello
world" and see how easy this is! I have hard coded all my variables and it
works great!
Here is my totally un-excellent code:
HTML to present the text box:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.php" type="text/css">
<TITLE>Clerk of Courts Imaging</TITLE>
</head>
<h1 class=bigbluetext> Clerk of Courts Imaging Inquiry </h1>
<form method="post">
Primary Participant Name:
<input tabIndex="1" size="30" name="ppname">
<INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE=" Find ">
EXAMPLE: Doe, John
<hr />
</html>
CONDITION CODE BELOW ON CLICK OF SUBMIT BUTTON.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['ppname'])){
require_once('Connection.php');
try {
$conn = new Connection();
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Failure to connect";
echo $e->getMessage();
die();
}
$fdname="HOW DO I GET PPNAME IN HERE??" ;
$desc = array (
array ("name"=>"caseno", "io"=>I5_INOUT, "type" => I5_TYPE_CHAR,
"length"=>
"15"),
array ("name"=>"foname", "io"=>I5_INOUT, "type" => I5_TYPE_CHAR,
"length"=>
"30"),
array ("name"=>"Vs", "io"=>I5_INOUT, "type" => I5_TYPE_CHAR, "length"=>
"1")
);
try {
$prog = i5_program_prepare("ICSCCLIB/CCP565PHPC", $desc);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Failure when preparing program";
echo $e->getMessage();
die();
}
$params = array ("caseno"=>" ","foname"=>$fdname,"vs"=>"P");
$retvals = array("caseno"=>"caseno","foname"=>" ","vs"=>"vs");
$ret = i5_program_call($prog, $params, $retvals) ;
Running this, I GET "Type of parameter 1 cannot be a null
Hard coding and forcing something in $FDNAME works fine.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!! I FEEL LIKE SUCH A NULL-SKULL!!!
