PHP - Not Showing Array, Just "array"

Can someone please help me with an array problem i can not figure out.

I need the array to be numbered from 1 to how ever many fields that are needed in the form and have a mysql field name and the title of the field also in the array.

1, "mysql_field_name", "Title of form field"
2, "", ""

and so on

then the form will be shown based on the array.

I have the following draft code which I am working with.

any suggestions on how i may do this array ?

Code: [Select]
<?php
$options = array(
'1'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option1', 'mysqlfield'=>'option1'),
'2'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option2', 'mysqlfield'=>'option2'),
'3'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option3', 'mysqlfield'=>'option3'),
'4'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option4', 'mysqlfield'=>'option4'),
);


// $options = array(1 => "option1", "option2", "option3", "option4");

// the line above works but i want to include the name of the mysql field as well.

$userid = 1;

?>
<div style="align: center; margin: 12px; font-family:Tahoma;">
<br><br><?php
if ($_POST['Update'] != "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if not get data from mysql.
$res = db_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = '" . $userid . "'");
foreach($options as $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_result($res, 0, $value); }
$ok_to_update = "no";
} elseif ($_POST['Update'] == "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if so get POST data.
// error checking
// foreach($options as $key => $value) {
// $_POST[$i] = "";
// }
$ok_to_update = "yes";
}

if ($_POST['Update'] == "Update" && $ok_to_update == "yes") {
// $res = db_query("INSERT INTO `users` () VALUES ()"); // add user details to database.
?><p><br><br><br>Thank you for updating</p><?php
} else {
?><form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<?php foreach($options as $key => $value) {
?><p><?php echo($value); ?>:&nbsp;<input type="text" name="<?php echo($key); ?>" value="<?php echo($_POST[$key]);?>"></p>
<?php } ?>
<input name="Update" type="submit" value="Update">

Hello I have an issue with a form that has been built by someone else on Wordpress. 

using contact form 7 plugin there's a for to fill out and it emails a PDF copy to the customer.

however on the pdf any information from dropdown selections shows "Array" instead of what was selected, everything looks fine to me (with my very minimal knowledge of PHP) the title & Preferred Payment Method:  doesn't show on the pdf 

here is the contact form 7 code.

Hi guys

I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words.


$find = "left";
$replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards");
$text = "left left left left";

echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text);


The Output is: array array array array

Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? 

Thanks

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to select from a mutlidimensional array, and put the results in a new array?
I figured it out but it takes a long time. My array is huge (over 1000+ items) and this search is performed about 50 times before loading the page.

My array is called $tasks  and it looks like this
Code: [Select]
$tasks=Array(
[0]=>array([id]=>"12"; [owner]=>"nancy"; [task]=>"clean the house");
[1]=>array([id]=>"23"; [owner]=>"toby"; [task]=>"do homework");
[2]=>array([id]=>"43"; [owner]=>"dan"; [task]=>"take out trash");
[3]=>array([id]=>"32"; [owner]=>"nancy"; [task]=>"cook dinner");
)
I want to be able to select from $tasks where owner="nancy", so i end up with this
Code: [Select]
$nancy_tasks=array(
[0]=>array([id]=>"12"; [owner]=>"nancy"; [task]=>"clean the house");
[1]=>array([id]=>"32"; [owner]=>"nancy"; [task]=>"cook dinner");)
)Thank you!!!

Hi all,

just to get this out of the way i have now been working on html / css / php / mysql coding for about 3 weeks.

So i dont know too much, on to the problem...

I am creating a database for asset managment in and out of our shop I have setup the db and it works with no issues.
So I am currently trying to add fluff as i put it.

The guys in the shop want the web page to have a table of information on what is in the shop and when they click on the asset number in the table they want it to open a new page where you can edit the database information of that item.

I have no clue how to emplement this after reading diffrent ideas for about 4 hours today I am just stuck and confused.
any ideas or tips would be helpfull


This first block of code is my status page.
Code: [Select]

<style>

tr
{font-size:24px;}
button
{width:120px}

</style>

<body topmargin="50px">

<?php
 session_start(); 

include("../../Connections/db_connection.php");
$table = "shop_inventory";
mysql_select_db("$db_database", $connect);
unset ($db_username, $db_password);

$currenttime = getdate();

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shop_inventory WHERE In_Shop='1'");
$test = mysql_fetch_array($result);

echo "<table border='1' align='center' style='text-align:center' cellpadding='10' width='100%'>
 <tr>
 <th>Asset number</th>
 <th>Building</th>
 <th>Room number</th>
 <th>In date</th>
 </tr>";

$_SESSION['array_row'] = $test;
 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
   {
   $style = '';
   //if ($currenttime - $row['Entered_Shop_Time'] == 0 || 1)
    $style = 'style="background-color:#00FF00"';
   
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td> <button onClick=../subpages/edititems.php>" . $row['Asset'] . "</button> </td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Building'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['Room_Number'] . "</td>";
echo "<td $style>" . date("F j, Y", strtotime($row['Entered_Shop_Time']))  . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
   
   }
echo "</table>";
 
mysql_close($connect);
 
?>

</body>



This second block of code is the page where i want to dump the table info into for editing.

Code: [Select]

<?php
session_start(); 

include("../../Connections/db_connection.php");
$table = "shop_inventory";
mysql_select_db("$db_database", $connect);
unset ($db_username, $db_password);
//$Asset = $_POST['Asset'];
$Session = $_SESSION['array_row'];

//$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shop_inventory WHERE Asset=$session");
//$query = mysql_query($data) or die ("Cannot select database." . mysql_error());
//$Session = mysql_fetch_array($data);

?>

And lastly I have a page that redisplays the edited information.

Code: [Select]

<?php

//$Asset = $_POST['Asset'];

//$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shop_inventory WHERE Asset=$Asset");
//$query = mysql_query($data) or die ("Cannot select database." . mysql_error());
//$data2 = mysql_fetch_array($data);


include("../../Connections/db_connection.php");
$table = "shop_inventory";
mysql_select_db("$db_database", $connect);
unset ($db_username, $db_password);
$Asset = $_POST['Asset'];
$Manufacture = $_POST['Manufacture'];
$Model = $_POST['Model'];
$Sn = $_POST['Serial_Number'];  //<---- possibly fubar check sn everywhere
$Building = $_POST['Building'];
$Room_Number = $_POST['Room_Number'];
$Type = $_POST['Type'];

$data = mysql_query("UPDATE `shop_inventory` SET  Manufacture='$Manufacture', Model='$Model', Serial_Number='$Sn', Building='$Building', Room_Number='$Room_Number', Type='$Type' WHERE Asset=$Asset");
//$query = mysql_query($data) or die("could not execute query.". mysql_error());

?>

I know there is a lot of poorly formated code and more then likely it is hard to read as I was going to do cleanup after I had all my features working.

After doing all the digging i found out about sessions and how they are used to pass data, I thought it would be a good method but I just could not figure out how to send information from the table if the table is reciving its info from an array.

any help would be appreciated thanks.
