PHP - Inserting Data From One Table Into Another With Different Values?

Hi guys,

I am building a website with basic e-commerce functionality, using php and using xampp to test it.
I am having issues when attempting to submit a quantity (into table orders) using a form and validating it against an existing value (from table products), giving a response on whether there is sufficient quantity in the second table. I am then, in another page (same one performing the validations), attempting to then show a result based on the initial quantity entered, with a summary of the order details and calculation of the quantity * price to display a total as well. This has all been built from scratch, however I may have taken the wrong approach for these two pages... any assistance or insight as to where I am going wrong would be greatly appreciated.


Here is the page I have placed the products, existing quantity and a text field they are able to enter their desired quantity:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
require_once "../database/db.php";
require_once "../includes/functions.php";

$page_title = 'Product Catalogue';
include_once "header.php";

$conn = mysqli_connect ($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname);

$query = "SELECT * from products";

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query);

if (!$result)
{
include_once "header.php";
die ("Error, could not query the database");
}

else 
{ $rows = mysqli_num_rows($result);

if ($rows>0)
{

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<form>
                <br />
                <br />
                <br />
                <table>
                <tr>
                <td style="width: 200px">Product Code:</td>
                <td><?php echo $row['ProductCode']; ?></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td>Product Name:</td>
                <td><?php echo $row['ProductName']; ?></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td>Product Description:</td>
                <td><?php echo $row['ProductDescription']; ?></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td>Product Colour:</td>
                <td><?php echo $row['ProductColour']; ?></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td>Product Price:</td>
                <td>$<?php echo number_format($row['ProductPrice'],2); ?></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td>Product Image:</td>
                <td><img src="<?php echo $row['ProductImagePath']?>"/></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td>Quantity in Stock:</td>
                <td><?php echo $row['ProductQuantity']; ?></td>
                </tr>
                </table>
                </form>
                <form method="post"action="processQuantity.php">
                <table>
                <tr>
                <td style="width: 200px">Quantity:</td>
                <td><input type="number" name="Quantity" id="Quantity" value="<?php if (isset ($quantity)) echo $quantity; ?>"size = "20" /></td>
                <td><input type="submit" name="Purchase" value= "Purchase" /></td>
                </tr>
                </table>

Hey guys, I am kind of new to php but I am stuck on this question.  I have a mySQL database and table set up called members.  I have some data in the table and I want to be able to add certain things to a paticular row in the table based off the ID number of the row.  One of the values of the table is an auto incremeted ID number.   I want to add a text value called message to a specified ID number.  How do I go about doing that.  I have this code already but it doesn't seem to work.

Code: [Select]
$sql = "INSERT INTO members (message) VALUES ('$_POST[message]',(SELECT id FROM members WHERE id='$_POST[id]'))";

Any Ideas?  Thanks

Hi People

i'm a newb at this so bare with me but i currently have a php file called Newkpi.php which has a select statement in. this selects data from a table called "StaffList".
this then populates the page with a html table with 14 records (this will increase/decrease over time) i then have some extra text boxes to enter more detail into like service amaount service date and so on.
when i click the submit button i want it to cycle through each row and insert the data into a separate table called "Services". however i cannot for the life of me get this to work and need some help with it. people find attached the code for Newkpi and see if you can help me with this.

in total i want it to take the names from stafflist and populate Services with the names and the extra detail which is entered on the page

Much Thanx in advance

Is it possible to use for loop to insert values into database using for loop?
Or what would be the another way to insert these values into the database if the number of values being entered differs from one time to another? Here is basically what I am trying to do:
mysql_query("INSERT INTO MaxMillionsNum SET
Day='$weekday',
DrawDate='$CompleteDate',
DateTime='$timestamp',
for($i=1; $i<=$SetNumber; $i+=1){
for($j=0; $j<7; j+=1){
$NumberName="Number".$i.$v[$j];//Generating name of database field
$$NumberName=$Match[0][$j];//Here I would store the $Match value into the fieldname name created above
}
}
Tries='$RunCounter'");

Hello there,   I'm really new at PHP and I've been reading several beginner tutorials so please accept my apologies for any stupid questions I may ask along the way.   I've gotten as far as installing XAMPP, set up a database plus PHP form and I'm struggling to figure out how to insert values from an array into my database.   I've learnt the code in one particular way (see beginner tutorials) so I was wondering if you could help me keeping this in mind. I know there'll be a million better ways to do what I'm doing but I fear I will be bamboozled with different code or differently structured code.   Anyway the tutuorials I'm reading don't see to cover how I can insert an array of values into my database, just singular values.   In the attached file, I have 10 rows of 2x text inputs (20 text inputs total). Each row allows the user to enter a CarID and CarTitle. I've commented out the jQuery which validates the inputs so I can build a rudimentary version of this validation with PHP.   I thought that because the line $sql="INSERT INTO carids_cartitles (CarID, CarTitle) VALUES ($id, $title)"; is inside the foreach, means that for each pair of values from the form it'd insert to the database.   It doesn't do this. If I enter two or more CarIDs and CarTitles, only one pair of values gets saved to the database.   I'm sorry if I haven't explained this well enough, any questions please let me know.   Many thanks for your help in advance.

So first of all, I have a confession, I used Dreamweaver to take care of all my database work. Pheww. Now that I got that of my chest, I am having problems, not only with my lack of experience working with databases, but with my script also. I need to insert multiple checkbox values into my database into the same cell. So I have searched around and I thought I had found a fairly good approach, but with Dw's hodgepodge of overcomplicated mess, I am finding problems integrating it. The error I am getting post submission is "Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\wamp\www\gov\ballot.php on line 10
Column 'involvement' cannot be null" So if you would, could you debug my script and give me some instruction along to way so that I can learn a little something too? Here is my script:

<?php require_once('Connections/ballot.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
  }

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

Hello,

I am currently trying to learn php from a book called PHP for Absolute Beginners where it teaches you how to build a blog by "hand". All nice and good until i got to the submit an entry and save it to my database process.
I'm using PDO with INSERT prepared statement like so, from a separate update.inc.php file:

Code: [Select]
$sql = "INSERT INTO entries (title, entry) VALUES (?,?)";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt -> execute(array($title, $entry));
$stmt ->closeCursor();
I have attached screenshots of my database in mysql. What could be the problem? Remeber I am an "ABSOLUTE BEGINNER" :p .
Thank you

  $username = $_POST['uid'];
  $email = $_POST['mail'];
  $password = $_POST['pwd'];
  $passwordRepeat = $_POST['pwd-repeat'];
  $date = $_POST['date2'];
  $stream = $_POST['relationship'];

		$sql1 = "INSERT INTO users (uidUsers, emailUsers, pwdUsers, relationship) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?);";
		$sql2 = "INSERT INTO Family1 (username, application_filed, relationship) VALUES (?, ?, ?);";
		$sql3 = "INSERT INTO Family2 (username, application_filed, relationship) VALUES (?, ?, ?);";
		mysqli_query($sql1, $conn);
		mysqli_query($sql2, $conn);
		mysqli_query($sql3, $conn);
		
   $stmt = mysqli_stmt_init($conn);
		if (!mysqli_stmt_prepare($stmt, $sql2)) {
          header("Location: ../signup.php?error=sqlerror");

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I have this code. They idea I had behind it is to insert values into different tables depending on variables being passed. 

So when user fills out a form and selects $stream="nursing" I want results to go to table 'users' and 'Family1', but not 'Family2' table. and if user selects $stream='doctoral' results should go to table 'users' and  'Family2', and not go to 'Family1'

But with my query I get results go to both table and also users table. And there is no restriction to what users selects, variable $stream being passed no matter what it is.

Is this the wrong way to go here? Did I completely mess up the logic?

I have posted one set of values into my database and it worked fine but when i input another set they wont go inside unless i changes the value of the primary index colum. I want to be able to insert a new values regardless of the primary index value. Any idears...?

Can someone please help me figure out how to insert "image" from table users, that contains the .jpg data associated with "screen_name", into table friends "friendimg"

Here are the tables:
friends: id, member, friendwith, friendimg
users: id, screen_name, image

$_GET["id"] only contains "screen_name" and"image" is not included

add.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
 if(isset($_GET["id"]))
 {
echo "<br/><a href=\"member?add=".$_GET["id"]."\">Add ".$_GET["id"]." to your list of friends</a>";
 }
?>member.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
 if(isset($_GET["add"]))
 {
$username = $_SESSION["screen_name"];
$friend = $_GET["add"];

$query = "SELECT * FROM friends WHERE member='$username' AND friendwith='$friend'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$exist = mysql_num_rows($result); 
if($exist=='0')
{
$query = "INSERT INTO friends(member,friendwith) VALUES('$username','$friend')";
mysql_query($query);
echo "<br/>You are now friends with $friend";
}
else 
{
echo "<br/>$friend is already in your list of friends!";
}
 }
?>

This UPDATE script works:

$query = $pdo->prepare("UPDATE posts SET headline = ? WHERE id = ?");
    $query->bindValue("1", $_POST['headline']);
    $query->bindValue("2", "2");
    $query->execute();

Though, this INSERT script does not work:

$query = $pdo->prepare("INSERT INTO posts (headline, post) VALUES (?, ?)");
    $query->bindValue("1", $_POST['headline']);
    $query->bindValue("2", $_POST['post']);
    $query->execute();

Nothing gets added, when executing this script.   The connection:

<?php

$dsn = "mysql:dbname=phpblog;host=localhost";
$user = "root";
$password = "";
try{
    $pdo = new PDO($dsn, $user, $password);
}catch(PDOException $e){
    echo "Connection failed: " . $e->getMessage();
}

?>

Any suggestions why the INSERT script is not working?

Hi,

My company has 240+ locations and as such some users (general managers) cover multiple sites.  When I run a query to pull user information, when the user has multiple sites to his or her name, its adds the second / third sites to the next columns, rather than wrapping it inside the same table cell.  It also works the opposite way, if a piece of data is missing in the database and is blank, its pull the following columns in.  Both cases mess up the table and formatting.  I'm extremely new to any kind of programming and maybe this isn't the forum for this question but figured I'd give it a chance since I'm stuck.

The HTML/PHP code is below:

<table id="datatables-column-search-select-inputs" class="table table-striped" style="width:100%">

                                            <tr>

Hello All,

First, I'm new to php and I have spent a lot of time searching forums and google for the answer to my question with no luck, so if it's a topic already covered, PLEASE reply with a link or point me in the right direction.

OK, I have a form that let's users upload multiple images. The upload portion works fine. What I can't figure out how to do is put the image name of each file that gets uploaded all into the same table record. I also need each file name to be put into it's own column in the table. For example, file1, file2 and file3 will get dumped into the same record and into it's respective column (uploaded_image1, uploaded_image2, uploaded_image3). I've included the working upload code and the code that inserts some of the information into the database (just not the image names).

Code: [Select]
echo "<textarea name=challenge rows=15 cols=60> </textarea><br/><br/>"
echo "<textarea name=insight rows=15 cols=60> </textarea><br/><br/>"
for($i=1; $i<=$max_no_img; $i++){
echo "Image $i
<input type=file name='image[]' ><br/>";
}
echo "<input type=submit value=Submit>";

Code: [Select]
// Connect to DB
$host = 'xxx';
$user = 'xxx';
$pass = 'xxx';
$db = 'xxx';
mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db) or die(mysql_error());

// Post Variables
$challenge = $_POST['challenge'];
$insight = $_POST['insight'];
$filename=serialize($_POST['filename']);

// Upload Images
while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES[image][name]))
{
    if(!empty($value))
    {
        $filename = $value;
        $add = "upimage/$filename";
        copy($_FILES[image][tmp_name][$key], $add);
        chmod("$add",0777);
    }
}

// Insert into database
$query = "INSERT INTO table (
                        challenge,
                        insight,
                        uploaded_image1,
                        uploaded_image2,
                        uploaded_image3,)".
                       
                "values (
                        '$challenge',
                        '$insight',
                        '$filename'
                        '$filename2'
                        '$filename3')";
                       
mysql_query($query) or die('Error, query failed : ' . mysql_error());

I know just enough about php that the reason the above wont work, is because $filename2 and $filename3 haven't been given a value. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to separate that information in the array. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be forever grateful!

Thanks,
Gary
