PHP - Unlimited Variables Using $_post

I have a php search page that takes form data to create its queries, then reload the original search page. The form is long, so there are numerous $_POST's to convert to variables for use in the query. I've looked at "extract" and a few other code snippets. But it's a form and I don't want any security issues. I'm hoping there's a "foreach" solution, but I'm a beginner. What's a proper way to to simplify this:

$s1 = $_POST["s1"];
$s2 = $_POST["s2"];
$s3 = $_POST["s3"];
$s4 = $_POST["s4"];
$s5 = $_POST["s5"];
$s6 = $_POST["s6"];
$s7 = $_POST["s7"];
$s8 = $_POST["s8"];
$s9 = $_POST["s9"];
$s10 = $_POST["s10"];
$s11 = $_POST["s11"];
$s12 = $_POST["s12"];

How can i make unlimited sub categories when i have this mysql fields: id, name, parent


Code: [Select]
$query = "SELECT * FROM cats";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($var = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  echo $var['name'];
  // now i need here some code for sub cats, but sub cat in subcat :(
}
Can someone help me?

I have this as a result of a form that has been completed.  It might be twice that, it might be much much more.

But what I want to do is render it on a page inside Divs.  So each one is in a kind of shaded box.

The CSS side of it is easy, but how do I extract each one of these into a variable useful means to surround each one by <div>$variable</div>?

I thought it might be "explode", but you appear to have to state the [3] number of the variable to show.  In this case, it's totally random.

We won't be using these as Variables to trigger anything else, it's purely "for display" purposes.

Hey all,

If I want to have a category which can have subcategories, which in turn can have its own subcategories or belong to the parent category, and the subcategories can have more than one parent categories, is the most effective way to design this is to create a categories table and categories_join table where the categories table has a foreign key categories_join_id linking it to the categories_join table and the categories_join table has a field called parent_id which associates with the primary key of the categories table, therefore allowing me to have multiple subcategories to one category:

categories_join table
id parent_id
1 2
1 3

categories table
id categories_join_id
1 1
2 2
3 3

So from the example above, the first category has two parents, category 2 and category 3.

As an alternative option, in this post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5384183/database-design-question-categories-subcategories

The second answer down mentions  to use recursive programming? But he doesn't give an example of what he means. Is he saying you have a function call itself passing it parameters as to what the parent should be:

function getParent($category,$parents = array()){
}

Thanks for response.

Hi everyone !
I am stuck on a task which I'm sure has been achieved by several others in the past.
I need to create a category table with unlimited / infinite levels (depths) of categories, sub-categories, sub-sub-categories, sub-sub-sub-categories and so on.
I need to know how to show the category tree through PHP.
An example would be great or even a link to another page where someone has laid out a step-by-step tutorial.

Please help!

Thank you very much!

Kind Regards,
Xeirus.

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

Code: [Select]

Hi guys,

I have a form using radio buttons.
For the radio button, lets just say i have the id name as 'rim' + number eg; rim0, rim1, rim2....

When i post the data to another file to execute the data collected, naturally i would use the:
Code: [Select]
$rim0=$_POST['rim0'];
$rim1=$_POST['rim1'];
....
$rim10=$_POST['rim10'];
i tried to shorten this process using this method:
Code: [Select]
//$q is part of the post variable.
for($x = 0; $x < count($q); $x++){

$rim[]=$_POST['"rim"."$x"'];
}
But i get this error
Code: [Select]
Notice: Undefined index: "rim"."$x" in D:\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\.....\#####.php on line 20
Notice: Undefined index: "rim"."$x" in D:\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\.....\#####.php on line 20

Hi guys, running through this tutorial at the moment:

http://www.tizag.com/phpT/forms.php

I seem to keep having problems with the $_POST variable. Is that obsolete syntax now?

Here's the part I get an error on:

<html>
<body>
<?php
$quantity=$_POST['quantity'];
$item=$_POST['item'];

echo "You ordered".$quantity."".$item.".<br/>.";
echo "Thank you for ordering from Boombaby art supppplies!";

?>
</body>
</html>


Here's the error:

Any help would be appreciated. I tried googling but everything didn't seem to answer my question or was too confusing.

Thanks.

I think this belongs here, but my $_POST['gender'] won't grab the gender that was submitted through a form.

I am using AJAX so the page doesn't have to reload so it can go in a smooth transition, but the AJAX is grabbing the value perfectly fine.
I have a feeling the $_POST isn't grabbing the value because the page isn't reloading.. but I don't want to reload it.
These codes are all on the same page.

Here is my Javascript:
Code: [Select]
<script>
function chooseGender()
{
var gender = $('input[name=gender]:checked', '#submitgender').val();
if(gender)
{
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: window.location.pathname,
data: gender,
success: function()
{
alert("You have chosen to be a " + gender); //It's grabbing it perfectly fine!
$("#submitgender").hide(); //It hides the gender table so they can't choose a gender since they already have chosen one.
$("#rest").fadeIn(); //Shows the other table that's labeled "rest" as it's ID so they can choose what base, eyes, etc for that specific gender they've chosen.
}
});
}
else
{
alert('Select a gender.');
}
}

$(function tabs()
{
$( "#tabs" ).tabs();
});
</script>
But here is the PHP inside the #rest table:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$gender = $_POST['gender'];

$sql = "SELECT * FROM habases WHERE gender='".$gender."'";
$result = mysqli_query($cxn, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($cxn));
print_r($sql);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$baseimage = $row['image'];
$baseskin = $row['skin'];

echo "<img src=\"http://www.elvonica.com/".$baseimage."\" value=\"".$baseskin."\">";
}
?>
And this is what I'm getting for the print_r:
Quote

SELECT * FROM habases WHERE gender=''

Hi guys! I need your help..

Code: [Select]
$array3 = combine_array($array1, $array2);
if $count is 0, using a foreach loop i echo each value and key
Code: [Select]
foreach($combined_array as $value => $key)
{
echo "<tr>";

echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='branch' value='{$value}'></td>";
        echo "<td id='edit'>" . "<input type='submit' name='edit' value='' />" . "</td>";
echo "<td id='sep'> / </td>";
echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='id' value='{$key}'></td>";
echo "<td id='del'>" . "<input type='submit' name='delete' value='' />" . "</td>";
very simple and it works perfectly fine,
but  if the variable $count is not equal to 0, i append both arrays(1 & 2) so that it will be equal to 0. (data appended is not important i just need them for the table output.)
Code: [Select]
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
     $array1[] = "null" . $i;
     $array2[] = $i;
}
// then combine
    $array3 = combine_array($array1, $array2);

// echo each value and key
foreach($combined_array as $value => $key)
{
echo "<tr>";

echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='branch' value='{$value}'></td>";
        echo "<td id='edit'>" . "<input type='submit' name='edit' value='' />" . "</td>";
echo "<td id='sep'> / </td>";
echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='id' value='{$key}'></td>";
echo "<td id='del'>" . "<input type='submit' name='delete' value='' />" . "</td>";
       echo "</tr>";
i tried to view the code souce and both hidden fields contain correct data but if i tried to delete/edit it doesn't work.
i tried echoing/print_r the $_POST['branch'] & $_POST['id'] after i click on delete/edit and it always gives me the last $value and $key of the combined array for all the submit buttons..

Any thoughts?
As i said the appended data is not important but the problem is once i click delete  the original values in array1 and 2 are not what post is giving me..therefore i cannot delete or edit them..
Sorry if my post is too long..
Thanks in advance!

Hey,

I have a database with user info in it. I was wondering would it be possible to have a link post info to a page and then have that page display info relevant to the received info?...

Link page:
<a href="profile.php?name=<? print $_GET['Username'] ?>" method="post"><? $row['Username'] ?></a>

Profile page:

<?php
$username = $_POST['Username'];
$query = $query = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE Username')
?>
You are viewing: <? echo $username ?>'s profile.

Email: <? echo $row['Email'] ?>


I have predefined $row.

Is it possible to do this way or would I have to use a different method?...

Cheers
