PHP - Inserting A Form Containing Checkbox Array Into Mysql Database
So I've spent 2 days now searching the web on how to make my checkbox array on my form insert the value selected by the user into my database. Here is the code that I've written. All fields except for the checkbox array works fine.
<?php virtual('/budgets/Connections/connAdmin.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; } } $editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); } if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $workStyle = $_POST['art_photos']; // Setting up a blank variable to be used in the coming loop. $allStyles = ""; // For every checkbox value sent to the form. foreach ($workStyle as $style) { // Append a string called $allStyles with the current array element, and then add a comma and a space at the end. $allStyles .= $style . ", "; } // Delete the last two characters from the string. $allStyles = substr($allStyles, 0, -2); echo "<p>The resulting string is: <strong>$allStyles</strong></p>\r\n"; } if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) { $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO daily_budget (rundate, slug, reporter, budgetInfo, notes, `section`, deadline, art_photos sidebar, sBudget) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", GetSQLValueString($_POST['rundate'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['slug'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['reporter'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['budgetInfo'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['notes'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['section'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['deadline'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['art_photos'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['sidebar'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['sBudget'], "text"));

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.

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 != "") ?

When I run the insert statements the records get inserted but it is sometimes one less record than is in the table and sometimes even less. for example if I have 5 records it only inserts the first 4. This is confusing because when I echo out the statement in the loop it shows all 4 insert statements. my loop for inserting looks like this: if(isset($_SESSION['cushArray'])){ foreach($_SESSION['cushArray'] as $key => $value){ $getCushSKU = "SELECT SKU FROM Cushion WHERE Name = '".$value['Cushion']."'"; //echo $getCushSKU; $resultGetCushSKU = mysql_query($getCushSKU); $getResultGetCushSKU = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultGetCushSKU); //echo $getResultGetCushSKU['SKU']; $getFabricSKU = "SELECT SKU FROM Fabric WHERE Name = '".$value['Fabric']."'"; $resultGetFabricSKU = mysql_query($getFabricSKU); $getResultGetFabricSKU = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultGetFabricSKU); if($_SESSION['cushArray'][$i]["ContWeltFabric"] != "N/A"){ $getWeltFabricSKU = "SELECT SKU FROM Fabric WHERE Name = '".$value['ContWeltFabric']."'"; $resultGetWeltFabricSKU = mysql_query($getWeltFabricSKU); $getResultGetWeltFabricSKU = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultGetWeltFabricSKU); }else{ $getResultGetWeltFabricSKU = "N/A"; } $sqlCush = "INSERT INTO OrdersCushion(OrderID, ProductSKU, FabricSKU, WeltFabricSKU, Quantity, ButtonColor, ZipperColor, Fill) VALUES('".$getOrderIDNum['OrderID']."', '".$getResultGetCushSKU['SKU']."', '".$getResultGetFabricSKU['SKU']."', '".$getResultGetWeltFabricSKU['SKU']."', '".$value['Quantity']."', '".$value['Button']."', '".$value['Zipper']."', '".$value['Fill']."') "; //echo $sqlCush; $resultCush = mysql_query($sqlCush); } } any help is much appreciated I am setting up a PHP & MySql shopping cart. When a user adds products they are stored as sessions. The cart displays the products in an array: foreach($_SESSION as $product => $quantity) So the product is the product_id, and the quantity is the quantity of that product which has been added. When getting the information from the database to display it, it reads like this 1-----2 (product_id = 1, quantity = 2) 2-----1 (product_id = 2, quantity = 1) 3-----3 (product_id = 3, quantity = 3) 11---12 (product_id = 11, quantity = 12) 4-----1 (product_id = 4, quantity = 1) I'm basically trying to insert the product_id and quantity into a table called cart. I've been stuck for days and can still only manage to insert 1 row of values Searching around I saw that some people inserted arrays using implode or explode functions first, but I'm not sure how that would work in this case Any ideas? [/code] Hi //open the connection $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "techhom1_test", "pro176"); //pick the database to use mysql_select_db("testDB", $conn); //create the sql statement $sql = "INSERT INTO master_name values ('', '$firstname')"; //execute if (mysql_query($sql,$conn)){ echo "Record Added!"; } else{ echo "Somethin went wrong"; } the code above is insert code and working with out any errors but when i am submitting text into data using method below it is sending echo back Somethin went wrong.I think i am confused with the write name of the user table database is ***_test my tables are duty_number master_name in this _test user i am trying to add first name in master_name field so here is the submit code Code: [Select] <FORM ACTION=insert.php METHOD=POST> <P>text to add:<br> <input type=text name=master_name size=30> <p><input type=submit name=submit value=Insert Record></p> </FORM> My table below in Data base [code]Field Type Null Default Comments name_id smallint(5) Yes NULL name_dateaddedn datetime Yes NULL name_datemodified datetime Yes NULL firstname varchar(75) Yes NULL lastname varchar(75) Yes NULL can someone please look at the code and find the error for me Thanks hello friends, actually i am trying to insert data in mysql database. here is my code

but somehow its not insertingdata into my table can somebody tell wherre m i doing mistake. the categories and brands are displaying from database. But its not inserting data here is my database script.
<?php
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","sg");

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...? Im building a list of offers and adding them to a table in a database. Pretty much all it is is HTML. Im inserting an ahref link that has a php echo in it. So it looks like this: <div class="offerlinks"><a href="http://website.com/offer/blahblah&blah=blah&sid=<?php echo $_SESSION['uid'];?>">Offer name</a><br><b>Info:</b> Signup<br><b>Value</b> 1 pt</div> When I insert this (through my form) I get mysql error 1064 which is syntax error. I tested it without the php & it gives me 0, which worked fine. I need the php code so I can append userid to the SID var. Am I doing something wrong? Well I guess I obviously am so the real question is what am I doing wrong & how could I do it the right way? Thanks guys Before I get into my problem a couple of things. First, this is a work project. My organization cannot afford a full time developer so as a database guy I'm being asked to develop a web based data system using php/html/mysql/javacript/etc. So I am not asking anyone to help me cheat or violate an honor code for a school project. Also I am having to learn PHP on the fly, by the seat of my pants. Second, my organization is using a version of PHP older that 5.5.X and I am powerless to update the version. So I know that some of the syntax I am using has been deprecated in more recent PHP versions. I don't mean to sound snarky or ungrateful but I really need some help solving this problem versus unhelpful comments about deprecated code. Third I am adapting code from the guys at TechStream so H/T to them. Here is what I am trying to build. My office helps other offices in my large organization manage their records through the creation of a file plan. We are currently using a clunky, user-unfriendly Access database that was created back in 2009. I am tasked to transition that Access hoopty into a proper, web-based, user friendly system. The index.php form page consists of 2 parts. You can see the original TechStream demo he http://demo.techstre...ssing-with-PHP/ I've adapted the top part of the form ("Travel Information") for my users to enter information about their office such as Office Name, Office Code, Office Chief, Creator (the user), Status and date. I've adapted the bottom part of the form ("Passenger Details") to be "Folder Details". This is an html table where users can add up to 10000 rows to list all the folders for their office by entering the folder name in the text box and then assign descriptors to each folder using the drop down menus. I've changed the drop down menus to reflect the descriptors we need, i.e. file-series, classification, media type. The user needs the flexibility to add folders as the number of folders will vary between offices. This adding and deleting of folders is accomplished dynamically through a javascript script.js file. Now, here's my problem. When the user clicks submit button that fires a php script that runs an insert into query to place the array data into the backend mysql database. However, when the foreach loop is only inserting the office office from the top portion of the form with the first folder in the bottom portion of the form. In other words let's say the user fills out the top part with his office information and then adds 5 folders into the html table at the botton. The first folder will be inserted into the database table with both office information and folder information. However the subsequent 4 folders will have their folder information inserted into the table but the office information fields will be null. The office information needs to be inserted with each folder the user adds to the html table piece. I suspect that my foreach loop is only capturing that office information on the first iteration of the loop and then flushing or deleting the office information after the first loop. Also, I suspect there is some disconnect between the html table for entering individual folders and the top part of the form that is not in html format. Any help I can get is most welcome. Thanks in advance! Code is below. index.php <?php

4 downloadsHi Guys Clearly I still have lots to learn... I am trying to insert (using mysqli) multi-dimensional array values into the database, but when i do the value that gets stored ends up as "$Array[1][1]". Here's the test query i am running: Code: [Select] $sql = "INSERT INTO teams (company) VALUES ('$myarray[1][1]')"; $mysqli->query($sql); So do i need to break the data out of the multidimensional array for the insert? Or is there some syntax thing i've missed? Or worse still do i actually need to do: Code: [Select] $value1 = $myarray[0][0]; Any help would be very much appreciated! Drongo Hi, I have this form which will create a checkbox list using data from my database and also determin if a checkbox had been checked before and check if it had. <form style="text-align:center" name="PrefRestaurant" id="PrefRestaurant" action="preferances_check.php" method="post"><table align="center"> <?php checkbox(id, name, restaurants, id); ?></table> <input type="submit" name="Prefer" id="Prefer" value="Επιλογή"/></form> function checkbox($intIdField, $strNameField, $strTableName, $strOrderField, $strMethod="asc") { $strQuery = "select $intIdField, $strNameField from $strTableName order by $strOrderField $strMethod"; $rsrcResult = mysql_query($strQuery); while ($arrayRow = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsrcResult)) { $testqry = "SELECT * FROM user_restaurant WHERE user_id = $_SESSION[UserId] AND restaurant_id = $arrayRow[id]"; $rsltestqry = mysql_query($testqry); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($rsltestqry); if ($numrows == 1) { echo "<tr align=\"left\"><td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"restaurant[]\" value=\"$arrayRow[id]\" checked/>$arrayRow[name]</td></tr>"; } else{ echo "<tr align=\"left\"><td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"restaurant[]\" value=\"$arrayRow[id]\" />$arrayRow[name]</td></tr>"; } } } Now the part which I can't get to work is when I'm trying to store the new values in my database. When I click the submit button I clear my database of any row that is related to the currently loggedin user and I want to store his new preferences (checked cheboxes). I've read that only the cheked checkboxes' values are POSTed so I did this (preferances_check.php) foreach($_POST['restaurant'] as $value) { $query="INSERT INTO user_restaurant VALUES ('$_SESSION[UserId]','$value')"; } But it is not working, nothing gets written in my table Could someone please enlighten me on this? Thnks! I am trying to insert values stored within two dimensional array into mysql database but it does not work as I would expect it. The locations in mysql are defined as char length of 2. When I print_r the array it shows: Array( [0] => Array ( [0] => 04 [1] => 22 [2] => 27 [3] => 28 [4] => 39 [5] => 43 [6] => 47 )) but when I insert them into the mysql like this: Number1A='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][0]', Number1B='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][1]', Number1C='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][2]', Number1D='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][3]', Number1E='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][4]', Number1F='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][5]', Number1G='$MaxMillionsNumber[0][6]'; my values in mysql all show as Ar What am I doing wrong? Hi. When a record is added its done via a form and processed via inserts.php. I need to use the same form but to recall the data (by id) so it can be editted. Cant work it out though. Help would be well appreciated! edit.php: <CENTER><B>Update a Vehicle</B></CENTER> <BR> <?php $query="SELECT * FROM cars"; $result=mysql_query($query); $i=0; while ($i < $num) { $carname=mysql_result($result,$i,"CarName"); $cartitle=mysql_result($result,$i,"CarTitle"); $carprice=mysql_result($result,$i,"CarPrice"); $carmiles=mysql_result($result,$i,"CarMiles"); $cardesc=mysql_result($result,$i,"CarDescription"); ?> <form action="showroomedit.php" method="post"> <CENTER>Vehicle Name:</CENTER> <CENTER><input type="text" name="CarName" value="<?php echo $carname; ?>"></CENTER> <br> <CENTER>Vehicle Type:</CENTER> <CENTER><input type="text" name="CarTitle" value="<?php echo $cartitle; ?>"></CENTER> <br> <CENTER>Vehicle Price:</CENTER> <CENTER><input type="text" name="CarPrice" value="<?php echo $carprice; ?>"></CENTER> <br> <CENTER>Vehicle Mileage:</CENTER> <CENTER><input type="text" name="CarMiles" value="<?php echo $carmiles; ?>"></CENTER> <br> <CENTER>Vehicle Description:</CENTER> <CENTER><textarea name="CarDescription" rows="10" cols="30" value="<?php echo $cardesc; ?>"></textarea></CENTER> <br> <CENTER><input type="Submit"></CENTER> </form> </TD> cant work out why it isnt working... Hello, I have been spending over 6 hours trying to square this away and I have looked at some tutorials from PHPFreaks... Maybe I'm missing something. Basically I rebuilding the form from bottom up and I thought some check boxes would be easier for some part of the form instead of drop-down menu. Basically this form is submitting query to MySQL: article_add.php (Basically has the form) article_insert.php (Basically insert the data to MySQL) Here is one part of the form where the check box is located: Here is article_add.php <form action="article_insert.php" method="post"> <-- OTHER INPUT BOXES --> <div class="inputfieldtb"><label for="news_cat">News Categories:</label> <? echo "<table>"; echo "<tr>"; $counter = 1; while ($nc = mysql_fetch_array($news_cats)) { $ncat_id = $nc['ncat_id']; $ncat_name = $nc['ncat_label']; echo "<td><div><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"category[]\" value=\"$ncat_id\" ''/>$ncat_name</div></td>\n"; if (($counter % 4) == 0) { echo "</tr><tr>"; } $counter ++; } echo "</tr></table>"; echo "<br />"; ?> </div> <-- MORE FORMS --> </form> Here is article_insert.php // CONNECT TO DATABASE include("../mods/connect.php"); <--- OTHER DATA INSERT IN MYSQL --> $news_cat = mysql_real_escape_string(implode(',', $_POST['category'])); // <-- Checkbox Data <--- MORE DATA INSERT IN MYSQL --> $query = "INSERT INTO news_articles VALUES ('<--- MORE CONTENT BEING INSERT INTO MYSQL -->,'$news_cat','$news_content',<--- MORE CONTENT BEING INSERT INTO MYSQL -->'')"; mysql_query($query) or die ('Error inserting new data into the data to the database: ' . mysql_error() . ''); The error I'm getting is "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 '','','3','0','','','')' at line 1"; So what am I doing wrong? Once I get this resolved, I would like to learn how to display the checkbox / updated the checkbox as well. Thank you in advance for your time and your help with this problem. Lets say I have this database: table brand [brandID] [brandName] where brandID -> auto increment and one brand always has the same brandID table product [brandID] [productID] [price] where productID -> auto increment I want to insert new product into the database using only values [brandName] and [price] and want brandID and productID to be created automatically I use this form: <form id="insertingDataToBrand" action="administratorCode.php" method="post"> <div>Brand Name: <input type="text" name="brandName"/></div> <div>Price: <input type="text" name="price"/></div> </form> And here is the php code: <?php //connection to database include 'connectToDatabase.php'; //data retrieveing $brand = $_POST['brandName']; $price = $_POST['price']; //As I am inserting to two different tables I use two INSERT statements $sql = "INSERT INTO brand (brandName) values ('$brand')"; mysql_query($sql) or die (mysql_error()); //as brandID is created automatically I am going to insert the same value to another table $last_id = mysql_insert_id (); $sql = "INSERT INTO product (price, brandID) values ('$price', '$last_id')"; ?> This should work just fine (it doesnt tho) BUT my question is: I have 3 different brands (brand A with brandID 1, brand B with brandID 2, brand C with brandID 3). When want to insert brand D, automatically created brandID should be automatically set to 4. BUT when I want to insert product of the same brand, lets say brand A (with different productID) brandID is automatically set to 4(or higher) as well. What do I have to do(use) so it would be able to realise what brandID should be added? Thanks a lot. helo does anyone know how to display data from db in checkbox form? i have been searching for days and still cannot find answer that i can understand. i hope someone can help me. i really am lost. any help is much appreciated |
