PHP - Help Me Parse Values From A Delimeted Text Field (in Db) And Update Checkboxes On A Form
Hello All,
Being a newbie at PHP coding I'm at my wits end trying to figure out:
a) how to pull-in values from a delimeted text field (in a MySQL table) and check/select the appropriate checkboxes, based on the values that were stored in the text field,
b) how to write any changes (made by the user) back to the tables' text field.
Note that this is for an "update.php" file/process.
My "create.php" file/process uses the following HTML to display and accept the checkbox values:
<div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label">Limited Time Sale Days:</label> <div class="lts-checkboxes-container"> <label class="indent-to-the-left"> <input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='F'><span class='no-highlight'>Fri</span> </label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Sa'><span class='no-highlight'>Sat</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Su'><span class='no-highlight'>Sun</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='M'><span class='no-highlight'>Mon</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Tu'><span class='no-highlight'>Tue</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='W'><span class='no-highlight'>Wed</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Th'><span class='no-highlight'>Thu</span></label> </div> </div>And the code (certainly not the best code in the world, but it works) to collect, delemit/concatenate, and save to DB is as follows: if(empty($_POST['limited_time_sale'])) { // echo("You didn't select any weekday."); $selected_lts = ''; $limited_time_sale = ''; } else { $limited_time_sale = $_POST['limited_time_sale']; $N = count($limited_time_sale); $selected_lts = ''; // echo("You selected $N DoW(s): "); for($i=0; $i < $N; $i++) { // echo($limited_time_sale[$i] . " "); if ($i < ($N - 1)) { $selected_lts .= $limited_time_sale[$i] . "-"; } else { $selected_lts .= $limited_time_sale[$i]; } } } if(!empty($selected_lts)) { $limited_time_sale = $selected_lts; }Now, I've figured out how to bring-in, and separate the stored values using the following code, however I have no idea what to do next...in order to have only the approprite boxes checked/selected (in the event that all boxes were not selected during the create stage). $limited_time_sale = isset($values['limited_time_sale']) ? $values['limited_time_sale'] : ''; $checked_lts = explode("-", $limited_time_sale);In my "update.php" file, the HTML for the forms' checkboxes is as follows: <div class="control-group"> <label class="control-label">Limited Time Sale Days:</label> <div class="lts-checkboxes-container"> <label class="indent-to-the-left"> <input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='F' <?php echo $lts1; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Fri</span> </label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Sa' <?php echo $lts2; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Sat</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Su' <?php echo $lts3; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Sun</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='M' <?php echo $lts4; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Mon</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Tu' <?php echo $lts5; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Tue</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='W' <?php echo $lts6; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Wed</span></label> <label><input class='lts-checkbox' type='checkbox' name='limited_time_sale[]' value ='Th' <?php echo $lts7; ?>><span class='no-highlight'>Thu</span></label> </div> </div>Attached picture shows that selected checkboxes are saved to the text field as/in the format of "F-Sa-Su-M-Tu-W-Th" - if all checkboxes/weekdays were selected....or as "Sa-M-W-Th" - if only Sat, Mon, Wed, and Thu checkboxes were selected Thanks.

I am completely sideways right now trying to get this to work. Basically I am attempting to make a form that fetches results based on a drop down and then populates a text box that the user can then edit. I have several issues, first of all, I would have to use check boxes for if a user has a certain file on record. Which would be editable, however, I have had issues displaying tinyint values of -1 as true and 0 as false.
Secondly, writing the data back to the table after clicking a submit button, I have still issues with checkboxes here and am thoroughly confused to if I need to use an array or what here.
Thirdly, should I be using PDO or mysql for this? We have an older NAS device that I will be running this on and the firmware is older.
All the info is stored in the same table, and would be selecting a single record at a time for a user to edit. I was thinking I would just write back ALL values to the table when submit is clicked? Is that a bad idea?
As you can tell I just need someone to kick my butt in the right direction, I feel like I have read all the different ways to skin a cat but confused myself in the process.
Thanks
Hi all, I have the following MySQL insert query: Code: [Select] $insert= mysql_query ("INSERT INTO tablename (column1,`".$EXPfields."`) VALUES ('$something','".$EXPvalues."')"); where $EXPfields is an array of table-field-names and $EXPvalues is an array of table-field-values. Now I want to write an equivalent query, but using UPDATE instead of INSERT INTO, but I don't want to write out all the field names/values separately, but again want to use $EXPfields and $EXPvalues. So something like this: Code: [Select] $update = mysql_query ("UPDATE tablename SET (column1,`".$EXPfields."`) = ('$something','".$EXPvalues."') WHERE .... "); Is this possible? If so, what is the proper syntax? Thanks! Hey guys, I am a webmaster for my church and I am fairly new to PHP. What am trying to is when a visitor goes to our radio ministry page and clicks a button which the message number is displayed in the read only textbox, it will go to my request CD page and auto populate the message number in that text field form the readonly text field from the previous page.

I know I am close because the UPDATE code works before I add the WHERE statement (it of course adds '666' to EVERY field, but for a noobie it's a start!). Does anyone have suggestions on how the following can be accomplished? Objective: I need a method to grab the {$email} variable from from via $_GET and populate (display) that variable string in the textbox of the form. Example: http://domain.com?email=john.smith@abc.com Code: [Select] <form action='index.php' method='post' name='emailForm' id="emailForm"> <div><input type='text' name='email' id="emailBox" size="40" value='<?php echo $_POST[email]; ?>' /></div> <div><input type='submit' name='frm2' class="button2" value='submit'/> Right now, the email (captured string) variable will show once the form is submitted (based on the "POST" function but i want to be able to capture and immediately insert the email address - if provided in the top URL on initial load. Is there a way to accomplish this with PHP or do I need JavaScript? okay, what i have is a page part of my ACP, and what i am trying to do is list all images from database, the list of images will have a "Checkbox" beside it. the checkbox is for setting where the image will be displayed. reason for the checkbox is cuz the images are only being displayed on 2 separate pages. basicly the whole list of images are in 1 form so when submit is activated its suppose to update the image list where checkboxs have been changed. hope i explained this clearly since im sick haha. but heres what i got for code Code: [Select] <form method="post"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /><br /> <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM items") or die("Query Failed: ".mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ list($id, $item_info, $item_img, $price, $sale, $location) = $row; if($location == 'home'){ $set_checked = 'checked="checked"'; }else{ $set_checked = ''; } if(isset($_POST['location'])){ foreach($_POST['location'] as $value){ $id = $_POST['id']; $insert = mysql_query("UPDATE items SET location='$value' WHERE id='$id'") or die('Insert Error: '.mysql_error()); } } echo '<img src="../images/items/'.$item_img.'" width="100" /> Home Page Slide Show: <input type="checkbox" id='.$id.' value="home" name="location[]" '.$set_checked.' /><br />'; } ?> <input type="hidden" name="hdnLine" value="<? echo $count ?>" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> i also added a pic of how it looks like lol I have a PHP Form where users have to enter and upload a file but when they click upload everything is working except that it is only sending first character of text field to Database!

Thank You I have built a dynamic list of Check Boxes with the query below.
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) { extract($row); $nospaces = str_replace(' ', '_', $life_event); echo "<tr> <td style='width:30px'>$life_event_id</td> <td style='width:300px'>$life_event</td> <td><input type='checkbox' name='$nospaces' value='$Value' /></td> </tr>"; }Each of the checkboxes has a numerical value which i want to add up and echo back to the user when he submits the form (please see code below). I have gotten this far in attempting to extract values when the submit (calculate) button is clicked into an array. Thereafter, i applied array_sum() to return the sum of values in the $stress_score array. However the array_sum($Stress_score) returns zero (0). $Death_of_spouse = 'unchecked'; $Divorce = 'unchecked'; if (isset($_POST['calculate'])) { $Stress_score=array(); if (isset($_POST['Death_of_spouse']) ) { if ($Death_of_spouse == 'checked') { $Stress_score[] = '100'; } } if (isset($_POST['Divorce']) ) { if ($Divorce == 'checked') { $Stress_score[]= '20'; } } echo "Your Stress Score = " . array_sum($Stress_score) . "\n"; }I shall appreciate any thoughts on how to resolve this. Thanks. I have figured out far enough to loop through my table and return a list of check boxes that will be matched to a product. My issue now, is i cannot figure out the proper way to loop through them after they are selected and return them as checked/unchecked for the given product. Thought there is some MySQL involved, that part isn't the problem, I know how to insert into a database or update...when the product is selected from a drop down, I need to be able to populate the checkboxes. Here is the code i am using to initially display all of the categories to choose from... <ul class="categories"> <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM products"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $category = $row['category']; $catId = $row['id']; echo "<li><input class='catCheck' type='checkbox' name='p_cat[]' value='$catId' /> $category</li>"; } ?> </ul> Thanks guys.... how to cross reference $_POST array 'checkboxes[]' with mysql field I have a form that is submitted so the user can select which results to print. but I am having problems getting the results to show correctly. how do I correctly cross reference the form data with the mysql Code: [Select] $getRequests = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM requests WHERE `customer_email`='{$_SESSION['FM_user']}'"); while($request = mysql_fetch_assoc($getRequests)) { if (!in_array($request['request_id'],array($_POST[request]))) { echo '<li style="font-size:10px; border-bottom: 0.1em solid #D0D0D0"> <div class="leftfloat"> <input type="checkbox" name="request[]" value="',$request['request_id'],'"> </div> <div class="leftfloat"> <em>',$request['request_id'],'</em> </div><div class="leftfloat"> | </div> <div class="leftfloat"> <em>',$request['customer_name'],'</em> </div><div class="leftfloat"> | </div> <br style="clear:both"> </li>'; } } |
