PHP - Storing Radio Button Values From Php To Mysql
Hello!
I am designing a user registration form which has some radio buttons for people to select. I am confused as to how I should store the value selected by the user into the database. Here is my code, just in case. <li id="li_2" > <label class="description" for="element_2">I am a </label> <span> <input id="element_2_1" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="1" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_1">Student</label> <input id="element_2_2" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="2" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_2">Staff</label> <input id="element_2_3" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="3" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_3">Member</label> <input id="element_2_4" name="element_2" class="element radio" type="radio" value="4" /> <label class="choice" for="element_2_4">Other</label> </span> </li> Similar Tutorialshelllo dear php-commmunity new to Ruby - i need some advices - i plan to do some requests in osm-files. (openstreetmap) Question - how can i store the results on a Database - eg mysql or - (if you prefer postgresql) - note: my favorite db - at least at the moment is mysql here the code require 'open-uri' require "net/http" require 'rexml/document' def query_overpass(object_type, left,bottom,right,top, key, value) base_url = "http://www.overpass-api.de/api/xapi?" query_string = "#{object_type}[bbox=#{left},#{bottom},#{right},#{top}][#{key}=#{value}]" url = "#{base_url}#{URI.encode(query_string)}" resp = Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse(url)) data = resp.body return data end overpass_result = REXML::Document.new(query_overpass("node", 7.1,51.2,7.2,51.3,"amenity","restaurant|pub|ice_cream|food_court|fast_food|cafe|biergarten|bar|bakery|steak|pasta|pizza|sushi|asia|nightclub")) overpass_result.elements.each('osm/node') {|x| if !x.elements["tag[@k='name']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='name']"].attributes["v"] end print " | " if !x.elements["tag[@k='addr:postcode']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='addr:postcode']"].attributes["v"] print ", " end if !x.elements["tag[@k='addr:city']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='addr:city']"].attributes["v"] print ", " end if !x.elements["tag[@k='addr:street']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='addr:street']"].attributes["v"] print ", " end if !x.elements["tag[@k='addr:housenumber']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='addr:housenumber']"].attributes["v"] end print " | " print x.attributes["lat"] print " | " print x.attributes["lon"] print " | " if !x.elements["tag[@k='website']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='website']"].attributes["v"] end print " | " if !x.elements["tag[@k='amenity']"].nil? print x.elements["tag[@k='amenity']"].attributes["v"] print " | " end puts } look forward to hear from you again - i would love to store it on a mysql - database - if possible. If you would prefer postgresql - then i would takte this one.... ;-) look forward to hear from you again - i would love to store it on a mysql - database - if possible. If you would prefer postgresql - then i would takte this one.... ;-) well - i guess that the answer to this will be the same no matter what language we are using. If the db is a sql database we need to design the database schema and create the tables in the database. The first step in accessing a db in our code is to get a connection to it. If ruby is our choice of language, a search for "ruby sql connector" will give us lots of options to read about. Well - we also can do it in PHP. What do you think!? Next, based on the schema we have designed, we need to create queries suitable for storing the data. We will likely need to consider our transactional model. Again, searching "ruby sql transactional model" will give us plenty of food for thought. Finally, we may want or need to close the connection to the database. i have a dictionary - THIS IS obviously a python dictionary an this has approx 8 000 lines with records [/CODE] $ python printer.py {'url': 'http://www.site1_com' 'cname': 'butcher', 'name': 'cheng', 'email': 'mail1@hotmail.com'} {'url': 'http://www.site2_com' 'cname': 'dilbert', 'name': 'James', 'email': 'mail2@hotmail.com'} [code=auto:0]i have a mysql-db up and runing in my opensuse there i have created a db with the fields url cname name i use the import MySQLdb i studied this documentation he http://stackoverflow...abase-in-python but i think this goes a bit over my head. - well how can i get the data ( in other words the dictionary) into the database? love to hear from you greetings I created a simple search box which will query my table and match the input value to one of my columns. two of these columns store comma separated values. if i query a column other than a column which stores my csv i can see my search results. if i query a column which stores my csv i will not see results unless the search value matches the first value within the column. how would i be able to get say the second or third or forth value. here is the code i am using to query the table any help would be appreciated thanks. Code: [Select] $q = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE col1 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR col2 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR col3 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR col4 LIKE 'searchvalue'". " OR FIND_IN_SET('searchvalue', col5) > 0 ". " OR FIND_IN_SET('searchvalue', col6) > 0"); I am having some difficulty with accessing radio button values with PHP code. Please see the attached file

11 downloads i have an rsvp page where the table is populated by guests according to event selected in the drop down list. the rsvp table has 2 columns: guest names and status. status(radio button) is divided into 3: unconfirmed(default status), attending and not attending. user has to choose either one. but i am having trouble saving the status. tia for any help!
this is the saving code:
<?php if(isset($_SESSION['sess_user_id'])) { if(isset($_POST['save-rsvp'])) { require "connection.php"; $name = $_POST['name']; $radio = $_POST['rsvp']; $session = $_SESSION['sess_user_id']; $rsvp = $dbh->prepare("UPDATE guest SET status = ? WHERE guser_id = ? AND guest_name = ?"); $rad = implode("','", $radio); for($i = 0; $i < count($_POST['name']); $i++) { if(trim($_POST['name'][$i]) !== '')// validate this form { $rsvp->bindParam(1, $rad, PDO::PARAM_INT); $rsvp->bindParam(2, $session, PDO::PARAM_INT); $rsvp->bindParam(3, $name[$i], PDO::PARAM_STR); $rsvp->execute(); } } } } ?>which when save doesn't save according to status selected. for example 5 names: noreen, pete, marzuki, nora, mishal noreen unconfirmed pete attending marzuki attending nora attending mishal not attending micah not attending when saved, all is saved as unconfirmed. noreen not attending pete attending marzuki not attending nora attending mishal not attending micah attending when saved, all is saved as not attending. noreen attending pete not attending marzuki attending nora not attending mishal attending micah not attending when saved, all is saved as attending. it seems to save according to first choice. This topic has been moved to JavaScript Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=350049.0 Hi guys, I am having a real problem with this and I can't figure it out. I am not that much of a techie so take it easy on me. I am building a survey form for a website to get feedback on the service, and naturally it can fail validation if the email address is misspelled or the security question is answered wrong. Retaining text values was easy and I managed to dig around for some solutions to retain radio button values. The problem is IT ONLY WORKS ON ONE OPTION! I tried everything including coming up with completely separate value names, yet the page still loads with all radio options set to the same shared value (usually of the last radio button question). Here is my code: <?PHP $Excellent_status = 'unchecked'; $VeryGood_status = 'unchecked'; $Satisfactory_status = 'unchecked'; $Weak_status = 'unchecked'; $Horrible_status = 'unchecked'; if (isset($_POST['send'])) { $selected_tk = $_POST['tk']; if ($selected_tk == 'Excellent') { $Excellent_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_tk == 'VeryGood') { $VeryGood_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_tk == 'Satisfactory') { $Satisfactory_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_tk == 'Weak') { $Weak_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_tk == 'Horrible') { $Horrible_status = 'checked'; } } $Excellent2_status = 'unchecked'; $VeryGood2_status = 'unchecked'; $Satisfactory2_status = 'unchecked'; $Weak2_status = 'unchecked'; $Horrible2_status = 'unchecked'; if (isset($_POST['send'])) { $selected_ts = $_POST['ts']; if ($selected_ts == 'Excellent') { $Excellent2_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_ts == 'VeryGood') { $VeryGood2_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_ts == 'Satisfactory') { $Satisfactory2_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_ts == 'Weak') { $Weak2_status = 'checked'; } else if ($selected_ts == 'Horrible') { $Horrible2_status = 'checked'; } } ?> <h1 align="center">Feedback Form:</h1> <p align="center">We highly value your input.

Basically what I get is that despite choosing different answers for each question, the retention is only of the last option or question, and all the above question choices are set to that choice button. What is wrong? I'm in the process of making a network for investors and entrepreneurs. When they access their profile page, select edit and go to editprofile.php a problem arises with the data base submission. I have the data they have previously inputted being echoed back out to the user. This lets the user see what they have inputted so that they can make changes to their profile. Unfortunately, with my radio buttons, if no changes are made and the user hits submit, the radio buttons return a value of 'unchecked'. I need them to maintain the value previously submitted to the database if the radio button isn't 'checked'. I'm not sure exactly how to do this. You can test it out yourself by going to http://network.jasonbiondo.com Code is below: Code: [Select] ?php session_start(); require ('connect.php'); include ('header.php'); $savechanges = $_POST['savechanges']; $firstname = strip_tags($_POST['firstname']); $lastname = strip_tags($_POST['lastname']); $username = strtolower(strip_tags($_POST['username'])); $email = strip_tags($_POST['email']); $password = strip_tags($_POST['password']); $repeatpassword = strip_tags($_POST['repeatpassword']); $entrepreneur = 'unchecked'; $investor = 'unchecked'; $date = date("Y-m-d"); $companyname = strip_tags($_POST['companyname']); $companywebsite = strip_tags($_POST['companywebsite']); $founder = strip_tags($_POST['founder']); $phone = strip_tags($_POST['phone']); $address = strip_tags($_POST['address']); $city = strip_tags($_POST['city']); $state = strip_tags($_POST['state']); $zipcode = strip_tags($_POST['zipcode']); $country = strip_tags($_POST['country']); $development = strip_tags($_POST['development']); $capitalamount = strip_tags($_POST['capitalamount']); $companydo = strip_tags($_POST['companydo']); $founderbuilt = strip_tags($_POST['founderbuilt']); $whatsnew = strip_tags($_POST['whatsnew']); $understand = strip_tags($_POST['understand']); $competition = strip_tags($_POST['competition']); $money = strip_tags($_POST['money']); $demo = strip_tags($_POST['demo']); $incorporation = strip_tags($_POST['incorporation']); $companynameinv = strip_tags($_POST['companynameinv']); $phoneinv = strip_tags($_POST['phoneinv']); $addressinv = strip_tags($_POST['addressinv']); $cityinv = strip_tags($_POST['cityinv']); $stateinv = strip_tags($_POST['stateinv']); $zipcodeinv = strip_tags($_POST['zipcodeinv']); $countryinv = strip_tags($_POST['countryinv']); $angel = strip_tags($_POST['angel']); $vc = strip_tags($_POST['vc']); $capital = strip_tags($_POST['capital']); if ($savechanges) { $queryreg = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET `firstname` = '$firstname', `lastname` = '$lastname', `email` = '$email', `entrepreneur` = '$entrepreneur', `investor` = '$investor', `companyname` = '$companyname', `companywebsite` = '$companywebsite', `founder` = '$founder', `phone` = '$phone', `address` = '$address', `city` = '$city', `state` = '$state', `zipcode` = '$zipcode', `country` = '$country', `development` = '$development', `capitalamount` = '$capitalamount', `companydo` ='$companydo', `founderbuilt` = '$founderbuilt', `whatsnew` = '$whatsnew', `understand` = '$understand', `competition` = '$competition', `money` = '$money', `demo` = '$demo', `incorporation` = '$incorporation', `companynameinv` = '$companynameinv', `phoneinv` = '$phoneinv', `addressinv` = '$addressinv', `cityinv` = '$cityinv', `stateinv` = '$stateinv', `zipcodeinv` = '$zipcodeinv', `countryinv` = '$countryinv', `angel` = '$angel', `vc` = '$vc', `capital` = '$capital' WHERE username= '" . $_SESSION['username'] .

Please help me with the following: I have a MySQL database. There are several fields in the table, among them are Amount_paid and Amount_returned fields. And there are two radio buttons Amount paid and Amount returned and one textBox where I will be entering an amount. What I need is to assign an entered amount to one of those radio buttons (depending which one is selected) and insert the textBox value into the correct field (amount_paid or amount_returned) of the table. I have all other fields coded ok and they work, but have no idea how to make the above stuff work. The code is attached, please let me know if you need more info. Thanks a lot!

In this table, I have a row named "Popularity". Now I would like the value of "Popularity" to be a function of the number of Likes, Dislikes, Views and Date posted, all of which are stored in respective tables (linked by Primary and Secondary keys). I was wondering if it actually is possible to have the value of "Popularity" adjust automatically when a change in "Likes", "Dislikes" or "Views" occurs. And if not, what alternatives I have. The ultimate reason I need to have this value stored in a table and up to date is that I wish to sort posts by "Popularity". Many thanks !!! I am trying to allow the user to update a variable he chooses by radio buttons, which they will then input text into a box, and submit, to change some attributes. I really need some help here. It works just fine until I add the second layer of variables on top of it, and I can't find the answer to this question anywhere. <?PHP require('connect.php'); ?> <form action ='' method='post'> <select name="id"> <?php $extract = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cars"); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($extract)){ $id = $row['id']; $make= $row['make']; $model= $row['model']; $year= $row['year']; $color= $row['color']; echo "<option value=$id>$color $year $make $model</option> ";}?> </select> Which attribute would you like to change?<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="make"/>Make<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="model"/>Model<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="year" />Year<br /> <input type="radio" name="getchanged" value="color" />Color<br /><br /> <br /><input type='text' value='' name='tochange'> <input type='submit' value='Change' name='submit'> </form> //This is where I need help... <?PHP if(isset($_POST['submit'])&&($_POST['tochange'])){ mysql_query(" UPDATE cars SET '$_POST[getchanged]'='$_POST[tochange]' where id = '$_POST[id]' ");}?> Hey guys, What would you recommend to store db values for later? the only thing I can come up with is doing it this way: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE name='$user'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { } { and then using the $row['dbvariable'] later is that the best way? Hi all, I need to create a table which holds a list of values, for EG 1 PHP 2 MySQL 3 HTML 4 JS The reason im doing this is so when a user visits X page on my site, they are presented with a list of possible options which they can tick, for instance if you were asked what languages your fluent with you would tick HTML and JS (or w/e applies to you) What would be the best way of constructing the table? Thanks Hi guys, Im currently doing a project for college and i have experienced some problems with saving my php drop down values to my database. im am getting no error but my values are not being stored to my db.If anyone could help me or point me in the correct direction then id be grateful. Ive attached my code. This topic has been moved to Application Design. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=311333.0 i want to store some data that i have gained from a request at the planetfile of openstreetmap: so i have set up a database on my opensuse 13.1 i have created a db called test on the mysql-server on my opensuse: CREATE TABLE `pois` ( `id` bigint(20) unsigned NOT NULL, `lat` float(10,7) NOT NULL, `lon` float(10,7) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) CREATE TABLE `pois_tag` ( `poisid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `tagname` varchar(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '', `tagvalue` varchar(255) DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`poisid`,`tagname`) ) Where each tagname/value pair is stored as a row in a separate table with the pois id Processing would be like this <?php $db = new mysqli(localhost,root,rimbaud,'test'); // use your credentials $xmlstr = <<<XML <data> <node id="2064639440" lat="49.4873181" lon="8.4710548"> <tag k="amenity" v="restaurant"/> <tag k="cuisine" v="turkish"/> <tag k="email" v="info@lynso.de"/> <tag k="name" v="Kilim - Café und Bar Restaurant"/> <tag k="opening_hours" v="Su-Th 17:00-1:00; Fr, Sa 17:00-3:00"/> <tag k="operator" v="Cengiz Kaya"/> <tag k="phone" v="06 21 - 43 755 371"/> <tag k="website" v="http://www.kilim-mannheim.de/"/> </node> <node id="2126473801" lat="49.4851170" lon="8.4756295"> <tag k="amenity" v="restaurant"/> <tag k="cuisine" v="italian"/> <tag k="email" v="mannheim1@vapiano.de"/> <tag k="fax" v="+49 621 1259 779"/> <tag k="name" v="Vapiano"/> <tag k="opening_hours" v="Su-Th 10:00-24:00; Fr-Sa 10:00-01:00"/> <tag k="operator" v="Vapiano"/> <tag k="phone" v="+49 621 1259 777"/> <tag k="website" v="http://www.vapiano.de/newsroom/?store=29"/> <tag k="wheelchair" v="yes"/> </node> <node id="667927886" lat="49.4909673" lon="8.4764904"> <tag k="addr:city" v="Mannheim"/> <tag k="addr:country" v="DE"/> <tag k="addr:housenumber" v="5"/> <tag k="addr:postcode" v="68161"/> <tag k="addr:street" v="Collinistraße"/> <tag k="amenity" v="restaurant"/> <tag k="name" v="Churrascaria Brasil Tropical"/> <tag k="phone" v="+496211225596"/> <tag k="wheelchair" v="limited"/> </node> <node id="689928440" lat="49.4798794" lon="8.4853418"> <tag k="amenity" v="restaurant"/> <tag k="cuisine" v="greek"/> <tag k="email" v="epirus70@hotmail.de"/> <tag k="fax" v="0621/4407 762"/> <tag k="name" v="Epirus"/> <tag k="opening_hours" v="Mo-Sa 12:00-15:00,18:00-24:00"/> <tag k="phone" v="0621/4407 761"/> <tag k="smoking" v="separated"/> <tag k="website" v="http://epirus-ma.blogspot.com/"/> <tag k="wheelchair" v="no"/> </node> <node id="689928445" lat="49.4799409" lon="8.4851357"> <tag k="amenity" v="restaurant"/> <tag k="cuisine" v="italian"/> <tag k="email" v="gianlucascurti@ristorante-augusta.de"/> <tag k="name" v="Ristorante Augusta"/> <tag k="opening_hours" v="Mo-Fr 12:00-14:00,18:00-23:00;Su 12:00-14:00,18:00-23:00"/> <tag k="phone" v="0621 449872"/> <tag k="website" v="ristorante-augusta.com/"/> <tag k="wheelchair" v="no"/> </node> </data> XML; $fields = array('id','name','lat','lon'); $xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr); // // PROCESS XML RECORDS // $poisdata = array(); $tagdata = array(); foreach ($xml->node as $node) { $nodedata = array_fill_keys($fields,''); $nodedata['id'] = intval($node['id']); $nodedata['lat'] = isset($node['lat']) ? floatval($node['lat']) : 0; $nodedata['lon'] = isset($node['lon']) ? floatval($node['lon']) : 0; $poisdata[] = vsprintf("(%d, %10.7f, %10.7f)", $nodedata); foreach ($node->tag as $tag) { $k = (string)$tag['k']; $v = (string)$tag['v']; $tagdata[] = sprintf("(%d, '%s', '%s')" , $nodedata['id'] , $db->real_escape_string($k) , $db->real_escape_string($v)); } } // // STORE THE DATA // $sql = "REPLACE INTO pois ('id','lat','lon') VALUES\n" . join(",\n", $poisdata); $db->query($sql); $sql = "REPLACE INTO pois_tag (poisid, tagname, tagvalue) VALUES\n" . join(",\n", $tagdata); $db->query($sql); // // DISPLAY THE DATA // $currentTags = array(); $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT tagname FROM pois_tag ORDER BY tagname = 'name' DESC, tagname"; $res = $db->query($sql); while (list($tn) = $res->fetch_row()) { $currentTags[] = $tn; } $thead = "<tr><th>id</th><th>lat</th><th>lon</th><th>" . join('</th><th>', $currentTags) .

This is more of a database architect question.
I am building a CMS for website development. I am ready to use it for the first time on one of my clients. Now, my issue is is how to set up some or one of my table(s) for some areas that my client wants to be able to change in the admin section.
In their website on the front page, I put together this nice block slider. Its 6 blocks with text, a background image and nice effects. At first it was always going to be static, which was no issue at all, but later they came to me and asked if they could be able to change words in the boxes themselves in the admin section..
Of course this can be easily done by creating a table that is associated with this home page block thing and each row in the table will correspond to one of the blocks on the home page.
But I believe there might be an easier way to store this type of data without having to create another table for every feature the client wants to edit, for example they also want to be able to edit a slider on another page.
The WordPress database then came into my mind and how they store most of their data as JSON. So I was then thinking of creating a table named 'modules' for examples with three columns (id, title, data). Then inside the data column store the editable fields as a JSON string object.
For example a row could like like :
1, "Front Page Box Slider", {"slider-home" : [ {"data" : "value", "img_1", "value1"}, {"data" : "value", "img_2", "value2"} ]}
I've been doing a bit of research on this and people have just been saying, never do this if you do want your data to be searched through, which I don't.
Can anyone tell me why or why not I should do this, or maybe a better solution to my problem?
Thank you

Hi there, I am working on a PHP web form and I have a very simple situation I guess, I have a variable named: $MyVal When I do print_r($MyVal); To see whats inside, I get: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 8.23 ) Now I am assigning this variable into a session variable so that I can do calculations with it. So I assign: $_SESSION['MySesVal'] = $MyVal; But after assigning to session variable, when I do my calculations: $finalValue = $_SESSION['MySesVal'] * 4; I get 0. So is it because the actual $MyVal variable has some XML stuff as: SimpleXMLElement Object ( [0] => 8.23 ) So what is the right way to properly assign $MyVal variable to a session variable to do calculations. Please reply. All comments and feedbacks are always welcome. Thank you! |
