PHP - Posting An Array To A Database

I have an email form that is working wonderfully. I have a select box that has a list of names of people that you can email. That list is being pulled from a database.

It is currently sending to the email related to the name selected in the dropdown menu. However, in the email that sends, I would like the name of the recipient to show up in the greeting. I.E. Dear "name from dropdown".

How do I go about doing this. My select box that holds the query for the name is as folows:

<?php 
echo '<select name="First_and_Last_Name">';
while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
    $text_for_select = $array["First_Name"] . " " . $array["Last_Name"]. " " . $array["District"];
$value_for_select = $array["Email"];
echo "<option></option>\n";
echo "<option value=\"$value_for_select\">$text_for_select</option>\n"; 
}
echo '</select>';?> 

No, this is querying the First and Last Name and another variable called district in to a new variable called "text_for_select". I just want to either print the "text_for_select" after the "Dear", or better yet, just the "First_Name" and "Last_Name".

How would I get this to print there?

$day = $_POST['day'];
$month = $_POST['month'];
$year = $_POST['year'];

$date = date("Y-m-d", time(0,0,0,$month, $day, $year));

$sql="INSERT INTO child_info (first_name,middle_name,first_family_name,second_family_name, gender,birthdate,mother_living,father_living,brothers,sisters,resident_time,dorm,school,grade_level,school_subject,speak_english,food,medical_allergies,physical_limits,future,instrument,work,social,special_people,hobby,sponsor)
VALUES
('$_POST[first_name]','$_POST[middle_name]','$_POST[first_family_name]','$_POST[second_family_name]','$_POST[gender]','$_POST[date]','$_POST[mother_living]','$_POST[father_living]','$_POST[brothers]','$_POST[sisters]','$_POST[resident_time]','$_POST[dorm]','$_POST[school]','$_POST[grade_level]','$_POST[school_subject]','$_POST[speak_english]','$_POST[food]','$_POST[medical_allergies]','$_POST[physical_limits]','$_POST[future]','$_POST[instrument]','$_POST[work]','$_POST[social]','$_POST[special_people]','$_POST[hobby]','$_POST[sponsor]')";

I'm having problems posting date from my MYSQL database. The date in my database is this "2011-01-08 02:53:14" but the it only echo's "01.01.70"

Could someone help me figure out why?

Here is my code:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$servername='localhost';


$dbusername='root';
$dbpassword='';


$dbname='store';



connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword);
function connecttodb($servername,$dbname,$dbuser,$dbpassword)
{
global $link;
$link=mysql_connect ("$servername","$dbuser","$dbpassword");
if(!$link){die("Could not connect to MySQL");}
mysql_select_db("$dbname",$link) or die ("could not open db".mysql_error());
}

// Get all the data from the "example" table
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM henvendelser WHERE status = 'Ubehandlet' ORDER by id desc ") 
or die(mysql_error());  

echo "<table cellspacing='12px' cellpaddomg='5px' align='center'>";
echo "<tr> <th>ID</th> <th> Opprettet </th> <th>Navn</th> <th>Telefon</th>  <th>Emne</th> </tr>";
// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get

  while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

    $postTime = $row['date'];
    $thisTime = time();
    $timeDiff = $thisTime-$postTime;

    if($timeDiff <= 604800) { // Less than 7 days[60*60*24*7]
      $color = '#D1180A';
    } else if($timeDiff > 604800 && $timeDiff <= 1209600) { // Greater than 7 days[60*60*24*7], less than 14 days[60*60*24*14]
      $color = '#D1B30A';
    } else if($timeDiff > 1209600) { // Greater than 14 days[60*60*24*14]
      $color = '#08C90F';
    }

    echo '<tr style="color: '.$color.';">';

    echo '<td>'. $row['id'] .'</td>';

    echo '<td>'. date('d.m.y', $postTime) .'</td>';

    echo '<td><a href="detaljer.php?view='. $row['id'] .'">'. $row['Navn'] .'</a></td>';
  
    echo '<td>'. $row['Telefon'] .'</td>';

    echo '<td>'. $row['Emne'] .'</td>';

    echo '</tr>';

  }

  echo '</table>';
?>

Ok, I have one database three tables.

Table 1 is ncmr the main table where everything is to be entered.

Table 2 is companies, where all the companies in pull down menu 1 is located.

Table 3 is fabricators, where all the people who have had hands on the product are residing.

I want the selected choices of table 2 and 3 to be inputed into table 1. I know this has to be possible, but I don't know how.  I thought I wrote the code correctly, but it seems not.

Can someone review my code and show me where my mistake is?

Here is the page:

can anyone help me as to whay I get this error: Problem with the query: INSERT INTO options (item_id, option ) VALUES('1', 'hi' )
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'option ) VALUES('1', 'hi' )' at line 1

with this code: Code: [Select]

I have a db table with 1500 street names inside - id, tfare, ptown, pcode, area.

The 'area' column is specific to the company i work for and each street belongs to an 'area' number defined by the company.

Currently each area is '0' - unassigned. The company areas are numbered 1 - 18. I need to list each street (LIMIT 10 at a time), and have an input box for the area to be edited and saved.

The following code works perfectly well when dealing with 1 record at a time (LIMIT 0, 1), but breaks when i change the LIMIT to 10.

I'm trying to show the dinosaur management that we need to upgrade our paper, yes, paper system to computers. I'm a transport manager, but in my spare time since 2004 I'm fluent in HTML and CSS, but only in the last few months really decided to give PHP and MySQL a *real* go.

I'm 'guessing' I need to look into arrays for this to work? I've tried searching about but I dont even know how to articulate what i need to search for, so I have to publicly ask for help via this long winded post, sorry

Here is my code:



<?php

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/!SYSTEM/bootstrap.php');

if(isset($_POST['savearea']))
{
    $id = $_POST['hideID'];
    $area = $_POST['area'];
   
    $sql = "UPDATE bmth_streetindex SET area='$area' WHERE id='$id'";
   
    if ($query = mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error()))
        {
         print "saved ???";
        }
}

    // grab data from bmth street index where the area is = 0 (which means its area is un-assigned)
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM bmth_streetindex WHERE area='0' LIMIT 0, 10";
    $rs = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());


print $HTML::form('action="" name="inputAreaForm" method="POST"')."\n\n";
   
    // 'while' thru and print them 1 at a time
    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs))
    {
        $id = $row['id'];
        $tfare = $row['tfare'];
        $ptown = $row['ptown'];
        $pcode = $row['pcode'];

Thank you for taking the tie to read this, I hope someone can point me in the right direction for what i need to look into making this work

I'm new at PHP and have a problem.
I have a MySql database with lists of students grouped into classrooms. A typical group is shown in the attached screenshot screenshot.docx. I want to be able to select one or more of the names by using the associated checkbox, and upgrade a student or students into a different group as defined in the radio button list also in the screenshot.
I have the rudiments of the file attached, but I have absolutely no idea how I can post the array so that the records are updated.
Each student has an individual record with a field name userGroup which holds a string nominated by their classroom teacher, such as "year7", "year 8" and so on while they are in one of the several classrooms, but when they leave school this is recorded in a field named noGroup with a value of 0 or 1.
I can post further details as required, but it would be great if someone could help me.

Hi all,

I have a situation where I need to remember what check boxes where checked over pagination, I have managed to do this via the use of this:

http://jamesfunk.com/wordpress/?p=65

The problem is that as the code stood:

Code: [Select]
<input type="checkbox" name="compare" value="<?php echo $list['jobseeker_id'];?>" class="remember_cb"/>
It was treating one ticked checkbox as them all because they all have the same name and are in the a while loop!

I countered this by changing the code to:

Code: [Select]
<input type="checkbox" name="compare<?php echo $list['jobseeker_id']?>" value="<?php echo $list['jobseeker_id'];?>" class="remember_cb"/>
Which effectively now makes the checkbox name unique... i.e. compare{id}.

The problem with this is that I can now no longer process it. This is my processing code:

$jobseekers = $_POST['compare'];
$i = 0;
for($i; $i<count($jobseekers); $i++){
$query = "SELECT * FROM jobseekers WHERE jobseeker_id = '$jobseekers[$i]'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
// Spit out the required data
}
}

As you can see I am trying to get the data from $_POST['compare'], which will obviously now be blank as I have had to make the name unique.... the trouble is I'm not sure how to actually process this.

Can anyone help me out here? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

many thanks,

Greens85

Hi all,

This is a piece of code of my php page and what I need is that $n1 till $n4 is filled. Somehow only $n1 is filled.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here.

Thnx Ryflex

$sql = "SELECT name FROM unittype WHERE type = 1";
$result = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql)) or die("Could not find units");
$n1 = $result[0];
$n2 = $result[1];
$n3 = $result[2];
$n4 = $result[3];
echo "$n1 <BR> $n2 <BR> $n3 <BR> $n4";

Hi Guys

I was just wondering if their is a function to randomize an array pulled from database is it possible i know their is array_rand() but it doesnt seem to work for me can someone show me where i am going wrong or do i have to do it from the actual SELECT statemant i.e ORDER_RAND(); ?

Here is what my array prints out.



 $user_list = get_users_by_specialism($specialism);

print_r($user_list);

outputs.

Array ( [0] => 129 [1] => 46 [2] => 57 [3] => 109 [4] => 92 [5] => 137 [6] => 238 [7] => 101 [8] => 60 [9] => 90 [10] => 112 [11] => 133 [12] => 121 [13] => 220 [14] => 275 [15] => 278 ) 



I basically need to make this array output in a random order everytime not by ID incrementing.

Any help Please

Cheers.

I have a array for example:
Code: [Select]
$item = array(
"Great <em>Bittern</em>"=>"Botaurus stellaris",
"Little <em>Grebe</em>"=>"Tachybaptus ruficollis",
"Black-necked Grebe"=>"Podiceps nigricollis");
which will output Code: [Select]
Array ( [Great Bittern] => Botaurus stellaris [Little Grebe] => Tachybaptus ruficollis [Black-necked Grebe] => Podiceps nigricollis )
how can I input data from a database so it comes out as the array assuming I have $row[3] and $row[0] as the data?

for example

Code: [Select]
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
//$item.=array($row[3],$row[0]);
//array_push($item,array($row[3]=>$row[0]));
//$item.=array($row[3]=>$row[0]);
$item.="[".$row[3]."]=>".$row[0];
}

which of course doesnt work??

Hello,


I am developing a PayPal IPN interface which works fine, all is passed for verification and comes back 'VALID'.


After validation with PayPal I update a users subscription and do the rest I want to do, but there is one thing really really irritating me.


It seems to be that this one particular table in the database does not want to accept anything I throw at it through PHP.


Here's the code:


Code: [Select]
$query = "INSERT INTO `ipn_txn_logs` (
   `date` ,
   `payment_reason` ,
   `pp_txn_id` ,
   `pp_amount` ,
   `pp_txn_charge` ,
   `pp_txn_net_amount` ,
   `ltj_txn_id` ,
   `description` ,
   `failsafe` ,
   `member`
   )
   
   VALUES (
   '$date',
   'subscribe',
   '$txn[txn_id]',
   '$txn[payment_amount]',
   '$txn[payment_charges]',
   '$txn[net_payment]',
   '$txn[custom]',
   '$desc',
   'yes',
   '$fname $lname')";


   $query = mysql_query($query);

The array is set on the IPN return using all values from PayPal. The database will insert when all variable and arrays are left out of the INSERT and replaced with just the number 1..


I am unable to see a PHP error as it's done in the background after a PayPal response... is there anyway to collect this error?


Also, any suggestions on this fault?

Hi, I'm still new to php and having some problems. Sorry about the code not being formatted properly. The snippet I posted has both the code intend to work but it is commented out and a test version that has an array already set thus getting rid of the need of setting up every thing like I have.

Ok this is basically my problem. I'm building a store like website. Its suppose to be very basic for now Part of the website is an RMA system where the customer enters an order number and then pulls up all items in the order on a different page in a table format with check boxes next to each item found in the database.  Each item that is checked off is then saved to an array rma[] which posts to another page when submitted. What this page(copied down below) does is it pulls values from the cookie already made and creates new variables which is not a problem. After that it does a foreach loop for the array of the items into a mysql query which then is suppose to insert it into a database.

When the code runs it only inserts the first item in the array into the database no matter how many items are in the array. When I echo the $insert statement I get this(using the test code) like I expect I'm suppose to. I would assume that because I'm doing a foreach loop that it is doing an INSERT for the number of items in the array.

There is a "PHP ajax cascading dropdown using MySql" at codestips.com/php-ajax-cascading-dropdown-using-mysql/

I want to use this technique but with a XML or array file instead of mysql database, but my knowledge about mysql is very low. How I can modify this code to catch the categories and products from an array, instead of mysql database?
Code: [Select]
$connect=mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass)
      or die ("Mysql connecting error");
echo '<table align="center"><tr><td><center><form method="post" action="">Category:<select name="category" onChange="CategoryGrab('."'".'ajaxcalling.php?idCat='."'".'+this.value);">';
$result = mysql_db_query($database, "SELECT * FROM Categories");
$nr=0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
 $nr++;
 echo "<option value=".'"'.$row['ID'].'" >'.$row['Name']."</option>";
}
echo '</select>'."\n";
echo '<div id="details">Details:<select name="details" width="100" >';
$result = mysql_db_query($database, "SELECT * FROM CategoriesDetails WHERE CategoryID=1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo "<option value=".$row['ID'].">".$row['Name']."</option>";
}
echo '</select></div>';
echo '</form></td></tr></table>';
mysql_close($connect);
ajaxcalling.php is
Code: [Select]
include("config.php");
$ID=$_REQUEST['idCat'];
$connect=mysql_connect($server, $db_user, $db_pass);
echo 'Details:<select name="details" width="100">';
$result = mysql_db_query($database, "SELECT * FROM CategoriesDetails WHERE CategoryID=".$ID);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
echo "<option value=".$row['ID'].">".$row['Name']."</option>";
}
echo '</select>';
mysql_close($connect);
