PHP - Help Inserting Into Multiple Tables

I am trying to export multiple csv files to download from 2 separate tables in my database.

Some background:
I have a web app that links to a phpmyadmin database. There are 2 tables in the database (entering and exiting). These tables hold the phone inventory information of employees currently entering or exiting the organization.

The fields in my tables a

location, firstname, lastname, username, extension, mac, type

What I am trying to do is export the data in these 2 tables to CSV (which I have working now) but I need to have multiple CSVs for each.

For example, for my exiting table, I need to have one CSV export all the fields in the table and I also need another CSV to export just the location and username field. I have a simple html form with a submit button which is currently working now:

<form action="exportexiting.php" method="POST" style="width: 456px; height: 157px">
   <div>
   <fieldset>
   <legend style="width: 102px; height: 25px"><strong>Entering CSV:</strong></legend>
   <input name="Export" type="submit" id="Export" value="Export">
   </fieldset><br/>
   </div>
</form>


This links to my exportexiting.php file:

<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$pass = 'xxxx';
$db = 'PhoneInventory';
$table = 'exiting';


 
// Connect to the database
$link = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass);
mysql_select_db($db);
 
require 'exportcsv.inc.php';

 
exportMysqlToCsv($table);
 
 
 
?>

Then to exportcsv.inc.php:

<?php
 
function exportMysqlToCsv($table,$filename = 'export.csv')
{
    $csv_terminated = "\n";
    $csv_separator = ",";
    $csv_enclosed = '';
    $csv_escaped = "\\";
    $sql_query = "select * from $table";
 
    // Gets the data from the database
    $result = mysql_query($sql_query);
    $fields_cnt = mysql_num_fields($result);
 
 
    $schema_insert = '';
 
    for ($i = 0; $i < $fields_cnt; $i++)
    {
        $l = $csv_enclosed . str_replace($csv_enclosed, $csv_escaped . $csv_enclosed,
            stripslashes(mysql_field_name($result, $i))) . $csv_enclosed;
        $schema_insert .= $l;
        $schema_insert .= $csv_separator;
    } // end for
 
    $out = trim(substr($schema_insert, 0, -1));
    $out .= $csv_terminated;
 
    // Format the data
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
        $schema_insert = '';
        for ($j = 0; $j < $fields_cnt; $j++)
        {
            if ($row[$j] == '0' || $row[$j] != '')
            {
 
                if ($csv_enclosed == '')
                {
                    $schema_insert .= $row[$j];
                } else
                {
                    $schema_insert .= $csv_enclosed .
               str_replace($csv_enclosed, $csv_escaped . $csv_enclosed, $row[$j]) . $csv_enclosed;
                }
            } else
            {
                $schema_insert .= '';
            }
 
            if ($j < $fields_cnt - 1)
            {
                $schema_insert .= $csv_separator;
            }
        } // end for
 
        $out .= $schema_insert;
        $out .= $csv_terminated;
    } // end while
 
    header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
    header("Content-Length: " . strlen($out));
    // Output to browser with appropriate mime type, you choose
    header("Content-type: text/x-csv");
    //header("Content-type: text/csv");
    //header("Content-type: application/csv");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
    echo $out;
    exit;
 
}
 
?>



Again, this is working perfectly for only exporting all the data from the exiting table into one CSV file. My question is, how can I make my one submit button export the 2 CSV files that I need?


Thanks for the help...

I have a search where I want to be able to search a string of words. The search is going to be looking in 2 different table joined by a left outer join. The tables are "quotes" and "categories".

$sql="SELECT q.id, q.username, q.quote, q.by, q.voteup, q.votedown, q.servtime, c.quote_id, c.label FROM quotes q LEFT OUTER JOIN categories c ON q.id = c.quote_id WHERE ( q.username LIKE '$srch' OR q.quote LIKE '$srch' OR q.`by` LIKE '$srch' OR c.label LIKE '$srch')";
   
The above mysql statement works and returns values..BUT if say, I search "john" and "funny", and a quote is posted by the user "john", but has a category of "funny" it will output the same quote twice. I was wondering if there was a way to see if a quote has either 1 term or both terms, if so display that quote but only display it once. Below is what the query is outputting.


[100] => Array
        (
            [id] => 100
            [username] => John
            [quote] => new test quote blah blah
            [by] => John
            [voteup] => 0
            [votedown] => 0
            [servtime] => 2010-12-02 @ 16:27:03
            [label] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Historic
                    [1] => Serious
                    [2] => Funny
                )

        )


Here is the code in full.


////
$sword = explode(" ",$search);
foreach($sword as $sterm){
$srch="%".$sterm."%";
echo"$srch<br />";
$sql="SELECT q.id, q.username, q.quote, q.by, q.voteup, q.votedown, q.servtime, c.quote_id, c.label FROM quotes q LEFT OUTER JOIN categories c ON q.id = c.quote_id WHERE ( q.username LIKE '$srch' OR q.quote LIKE '$srch' OR q.`by` LIKE '$srch' OR c.label LIKE '$srch')";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
while($row=mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$quote[$row->id]['id'] = $row->id;
$quote[$row->id]['username'] = $row->username;
$quote[$row->id]['quote'] = $row->quote;
$quote[$row->id]['by'] = $row->by;
$quote[$row->id]['voteup'] = $row->voteup;
$quote[$row->id]['votedown'] = $row->votedown;
$quote[$row->id]['servtime'] = $row->servtime;
$quote[$row->id]['label'][] = $row->label;
}
echo"<pre>";
print_r($quote);
echo"</pre>";


I don't think this is the fastest way of doing this, as it loops for each item in the db, per each keyword that is search.

Any help would be great!!

can you help me where i am writing wrong code

Hi,   I have a form like this

<tr>

   
    <td><a href="edit_sales_invoice_details.php?id=<?php echo $row['dispatch_id']?>"><?php echo $row['oid'] ?></a></td>
	
	  
	<td><?php echo $row['dispatch_id'] ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['cname'] ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['iname'] ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['quantity'] ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $row['dispatch_quantity'] ?></td>
    <td><select name="tax[<?php echo $row['dispatch_id']?>]" class="span9">
    <option value="<?php echo $row['rate'] ?>"><?php echo $row['tname'].'-'.$row['rate'];?> %</option>
	<option value="">Tax</option>
    <?php
	$s1 = mysql_query("select * from taxes");
	while($s2 = mysql_fetch_array($s1))
	{ ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $s2['rate'] ?>"><?php echo $s2['name'].'-'.$s2['rate'] ?>%</option>
    <?php } ?>
    </select>
	</td>
    <td><input type="text" name="freight[<?php echo $row['dispatch_id']?>]" class="span6" /></td>
    <td><input type="text" name="discount[<?php echo $row['dispatch_id']?>]" class="span6" /></td>
     <input type="hidden" name="order_id[<?php echo $row['dispatch_id']?>]" value="<?php echo $row['oid']; ?>" />
	
    
   <td><input type="checkbox" name="selector[]" value="<?php echo $row['dispatch_id']; ?>" /></td>

</tr>

<?php 
}


?>
<tr><td colspan="11"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="SAVE INVOICE" class="btn btn-info" /></td></tr>

Here dispatch_id will be different but the order_id will be same. I want to generate a single invoice id for this and store it in this table   invoice.JPG   18.85KB   0 downloads   and by taking that invoice_id, i want to insert rest of the multiple line items to this table  invoice_line_items.JPG   29.7KB   0 downloads   I tried doing like this  

Hi I'm using this code to insert multiple records. The code executes but nothing is entered into my database. This usually happens when there's a mismatch in data types.   How do I ensure that description goes in as text which in sql is wrapped in single quotes, but also make sure the other variables go in as numeric.

 // an array items to insert
    $array = array( 'theid'   => $theid,
            'descr'      =>   $descr,
            'costperunit'    => $costperunit,
            'quantity'       => $quantity,
'costperlot'       => $costperlot
            );


    // begin the sql statement
    $sql1 = "INSERT INTO  descriptions (jobid, description, costperunit, quantity, costperlot) VALUES ";

    $it = new ArrayIterator( $array );


    // a new caching iterator gives us access to hasNext()
    $cit = new CachingIterator( $it );


    // loop over the array
    foreach ( $cit as $value )
    {
        // add to query
        $sql1 .= "('".$cit->key()."','" .$cit->current()."')";
       

        if( $cit->hasNext() )
        {
            $sql1 .= ",";
        }
    }

Hi, I'm very new to these forums and php alike.  I've been working on this bit of code for weeks now.  I've written numerous versions and made endless revisions; trying pieces from many similiar source and well, it's still not quite working out for me.

The form I've been trying to finish will have multiple rows. The user will input values specific to each row, but I'm trying to make it so that each row is synonymous with each other in regard to the database table. Like an order form, an inventory form, or a roster. I'd really like to make this code work out because I can think of numerous applications for it's use. I'm sure others could use it for even more.

So, as you see; the html code represents the table that contains the form. Currently, I only have five of these rows in the form, but would like for anybody using the code to be able to add in code for as many rows in the table as needed.

In the php script I've tried using the count, loop, if, several others functions to try to get it to insert all the completed rows from the form into the table but just can't seem to get it to work out.  Anyways, here's a representation of what i'd like to achieve.  Not necessarily the code I've written trying to accomplish this, I'd have to upload a book if that were the case.

<?php 
ini_set('display_errors','On'); 
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

$host="localhost"; // Host name  
$username="root"; // Mysql username  
$password="password"; // Mysql password  
$db_name="testing"; // Database name  
$tbl_name="test_multiple"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select databse. 
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");  
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); 

//declarations 
$vendor = $_POST['vendor']; 
$description = $_POST['description']; 
$quantity = $_POST['quantity']; 
$price = $_POST['price']; 

// Check if button name "Submit" is active, do this  
$sql1="INSERT INTO $tbl_name (vendor, description, quantity, price) VALUES ('".$vendor."', '".$description."', '".$quantity."', '".$price."')"; 
$result1=mysql_query($sql1); 

mysql_close(); 
?>


If anybody can suggest where I need to go with that, that would be great.  Like I said above, I've tried about everything I could find any reason to from forum threads I had found in google searches and whatnot.  Also, if there is a good article, link or tutorial that would address this that anybody knows about that would be great.  However, I'm not looking for a link to a product or plugin that will do this stuff for me.  I'm trying to get halfway decent at php and would like to have working code for myself to build upon, modify, and learn from.  Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

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

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;
}
}

  mysql_select_db($database_ballot, $ballot);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $ballot) or die(mysql_error());

  $insertGoTo = "thanks.php";

I am trying to array data to database against same id. Here is code. form.php

<form name="users" method="post" action="order_submit.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" onSubmit="return validate();" id="inv_form">
<div class="formSep">
<select name="company" onChange="showSubcat(this);">
<option value="">Company</option>
<?php $s1 = mysql_query("select * from leads where lead_customer='Lead' ") or die (mysql_error());
while($s2 = mysql_fetch_array($s1))
{ ?>
<option value="<?php echo $s2['id']; ?>"><?php echo $s2['company']; ?></option>


<?php 


} ?>
</select>

</div>

<div class="formSep">

<table class="table invE_table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Unit</th>
<th>Unit Cost ($)</th>
<th>Qty</th>
<th>Tax (%)</th>
<th>Total ($)</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="inv_row">
<td class="inv_clone_row"><i class="icon-plus inv_clone_btn"></i></td>
<td><input type="text" class="span12" name="invE_item[]" /></td>

<p><strong>Balance: <span class="invE_balance">$<span>0.00</span></span></strong></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody> 
</table>
</div>

Here invE_item[], invE_description[], invE_unit_cost[].... are the array , i mean dynamically one can add as many as items and its details. In my order_submit.php page

<?php

error_reporting(0);
include("connect.php");
include("admin_auth.php"); 

if(isset($_POST['save']))
{

$company = $_POST['company'];
$contact_person = $_POST['contact_person'];
$billing = $_POST['billing_address'];
$shipping = $_POST['shipping_address'];
$reference = $_POST['reference'];
$t_c = $_POST['t_c'];
$payment = $_POST['payment'];
$ship_in = $_POST['ship_inst'];
$validity = $_POST['validity'];
$currency = $_POST['currency'];
$order_for = $_POST['order_for'];
$assigned_to = $_POST['assigned_to'];
$item = $_POST['invE_item'];
$unit = $_POST['invE_description'];
$price = $_POST['invE_unit_cost'];  
$qty= $_POST['invE_qty'];   
$tax = $_POST['invE_tax'];  
$total = $_POST['invE_total'];  

$sql = mysql_query("insert into orders (order_id, company_id, contact_person, billing_address, shipping_address, reference, t_c, payment, shipping_inst, validity, order_for, currency, assigned_to, last_modified, order_quote) values ('', ".$company.", '".$contact_person."', '".$billing."', '".$shipping."', '".$reference."', '".$t_c."', '".$payment."', '".$ship_in."', ".$validity.", '".$order_for."', '".$currency."', '".$assigned_to."', NOW(), 'Order')");

$last_id = mysql_insert_id();

$msql = "insert into order_line_items (id, order_id, company_id, item, unit, unit_cost, quantity, tax, total) values ('', ".$last_id.", ".$company.", '".$item."', '".$unit."', ".$price.", ".$qty.", ".$tax.", ".$total.")";


$l1 = mysql_query($msql) or die (mysql_error());    
} 

I want to insert each item in different row with $last_id , as in the attached image .   Please somebody help me in this Attached Files  db.PNG   11.01KB   4 downloads

$query = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(tickets.id),tickets.id,tickets.status,tickets.date,tickets.question,tickets.title,users.position FROM tickets,users WHERE tickets.id='$existing' users.username='$username'");


How do I get it so it selects data from the table tickets where id='$existing', but I also want to get a user's (who is viewing the ID) position (rank). $username is a session. So, any thoughts on how I would do so?

My updated code:

session_start();

Hi All,

I am adding a button that will delete many things in the system which all have the same $job_id

There is going to be 10 or so tables that need to delete *  where $job_id = ?

Is there a better way to do this rather than just iterating my code 10 times.

I was looking at just joining but isnt one benefit of prepared statements that they can be used again and again to increase speed.

Hi,

I'm very new to PHP and have managed to get through most of the problems I've encountered so far, but I have got to one point that I can't seem to solve.

I have two mysql tables (Categories & Products), I have a page that shows the categories (generated from the categories table) and when a category is selected it lists the products in that category.

Due to stock etc. not all categories always have products associated to them.

The Category & Product Tables are automatically updated, so what I need to do is only show categories that have products associated to them, both tables have a column category_no, and nothing I've tried so far seems to work.

The code I have so far is:-

Code: [Select]
Require_once('config.php');

Mysql_connect(db_host, db_user, db_password);

@mysql_select_db(db_database) or die( "unable to select database");

$query="select * from categories";

$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

Mysql_close();
Thanks

Pete
