PHP - Convert Form Value Into Array

this is my solution:

$x = ['a' => 2, 'b' => 1, 'c' => 4, 'd' => 1];

$x1 = array_keys($x);
$x2 = array_values($x);

$z = [];
for ($i=0; $i<count($x); $i++) {
  array_push($z, [$x1[$i],$x2[$i]] );
} 

print_r($z); //[['a', 2], ['b', 1], ['c', 4], ['d', 1]];

is there easier (more elegant) way to do the same ?    

How can i convert an array of results to a single comma separated string so that I can run it through an SQL query?

I have a simple form and need to convert it to XML so I can send it to my payment gateway.

I have the XML data types (?) they are expecting, but do not have a clue of how to build the string.   

Can someone help me out?

Thanks,


Debbie

How does everyone take data input from an HTML Form and convert it into an Object in OOP?

I am thinking it would be better if user inputs resided in an object so that I could manipulate the data in OOP terms instead of referencing the Form procedurally.

Hey, been trying to make a form to upload an image to the server and also email the image as attachment. After nearly a week I managed to make it work. Only some validation needs to be done.

My next step is to make it work for multiple files, ie. 5. The form will have 5 boxes to upload images and no more. I have tried a few different things with for loops ( ie for $i=0; $i<5; $i++ {...} ) but no luck. I can't think of any solution of a loop to upload multiple files and then email multiple attachment as my code.

The code is:


<?php
session_start();
$imagename1 = $_FILES["uploadFile1"]["name"];
    $_SESSION['imagename1'] = $imagename1;

$imagename1 = $_SESSION['imagename1'];
$imagetype1 = $_SESSION['imagetype1'];
$imagesize1 = $_SESSION['imagesize1'];
$imagetemp1 = $_SESSION['imagetemp1'];


$thankyouurl = 'thankyou.php' ;
$errorurl = 'error.php' ;
$http_referrer = getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" );
$http_agent = getenv( "HTTP_USER_AGENT" );
$domain = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
$filename = $_SESSION['uploadFilename'];



    if(isset($_POST['send'])) {
    
        $fp = fopen($imagetemp1, "rb");
        $file = fread($fp, $imagesize1);
        $file = chunk_split(base64_encode($file));
        $num = md5(time());
        fclose($fp);
        
    // UPLOAD FILE
    // possible PHP upload errors
    $errors = array(1 => 'php.ini max file size exceeded', 
                    2 => 'html form max file size exceeded', 
                    3 => 'file upload was only partial', 
                    4 => 'no file was attached');

    // check the upload form was actually submitted else print form
    isset($_POST['send'])
        or error('the upload form is neaded', $uploadForm);

    // check for standard uploading errors
    ($_FILES[$fieldname1]['error'] == 0)
        or error($errors[$_FILES[$fieldname1]['error']], $uploadForm);

    {
        $now++;
    }

    // now let's move the file to its final and allocate it with the new filename
    @move_uploaded_file($_FILES[$fieldname1]['tmp_name'] , $uploadFilename)

Hi. I have an input field where a date is entered, format dd-mm-yy. I need to query the database to see if this date exists. How can I convert the date to yyyymmdd before the query?

Thanks

Well the topic may not sound very explicit. So I'll do my best to explain it here. I have a pull down menu as part of a form, which contains the months of the year. I'm trying to store the value of this form entry using the $_POST['month'] variable into a database but first, I need to convert the month values into their corresponding integer values( that is 1 for January, 2 for February etc), in order to easily do date calculations later down the road. Any ideas about how to do this? It may be helpful to include the code for the pull down menu.
Code: [Select]
<p><tab> Date of Birth: <?php //Make the month pull down menu.
//Array to store months. 
$months = array (1 => 'January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'); 
print '<select name= "month">';
foreach ($months as $key => $value) {
    print "\n<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>";
}
print '</select>'; ?> </tab>
 

<tab>  <?php //Make the day pull down menu
print '<select name= "day">';
for ($day = 1; $day <= 31; $day++) {
    print "\n<option value=\"$day\">$day</option>";
}
print '</select>'; ?> </tab>

<tab><?php //Make the year pull down menu 
print '<select name= "year">';
$start_year = date('Y');
for ($y = ($start_year - 18); $y >= 1900; $y--) {
    print "\n<option value=\"$y\">$y</option>";
}
print '</select>'; ?> </tab> </p>

hi i am trying to make a payroll calculator script that takes employee info, calculates pay, displays submitted info in a table, stores info in an array, and updates the array when new info is submitted. i have most of these accomplished, i am having trouble with the "store into an array, and update the array when new info is submitted" parts of the project. i am still not very fluent in php so there may be easier ways to achieve what i have so far. any pointers would be a great help, this part has got me stumped.

I have tried a large number of "solutions" to  this but everytime I use them I see 0000-00-00 in my date field instead of  the date even though I echoed and can see that the date looks correct.

Here's where I'm at:
I have a drop down for the month (1-12) and date fields (1-31) as well as a text input field for the year.  Using the POST array, I  have combined them into the xxxx-xx-xx format that I am using in my field as a date field in mysql. 

<code>
$date_value =$_POST['year'].'-'.$_POST['month'].'-'.$_POST['day'];
echo $date_value;
</code>

This outputs 2012-5-7 in my test echo but 0000-00-00 in the database.

I have tried unsuccessfully to use in a numberof suggested versions of:
strtotime()
mktime

Any help would be extremely appreciated.
I am aware that I need to validate this data and insure  that it is a valid date. That I'm okay with. I would like some help on getting it into the database.

I've created a quotation form and some of the values are passed in an array (i've used jQuery to clone the form for necessary fields).

I currently have the following:


foreach ($_GET as $var => $value) {  // Stick POST names into "$var" and the values into "$value"
if(!is_array($value)) { // Test us $value contains and array (horse detials are an array everything else isn't)
echo "<strong>$var:</strong> $value<br />\n"; // Echo out the customer detials and additional information
}
else { // If the value is an array....

} 
}
}


But i'm kind of stuck for ideas on how to echo out the rest of the details in the way i need it...

There are 6 arrays, I know I can do something like:

$array = $_GET['quote-details'];
    foreach($array as $detail) {
        echo "<strong>Detail:</strong> $detail<br />\n";
        }

But I have to do this  6 times...

I also want to sort these details in a logical manor, but again im a little stuck. So instead of it exporting like:

Detail1
Detail1
Detail1
Detail2
Detail2
Detail2

etc, I want it to export as:

Detail1
Detail2

Detail1
Detail2

If anyone can give me any help I would be VERY grateful!

Hello!

HA11QS, 200, house1.jpg, 4
HA22BR, 280, house2.jpg, 10
HA33AB, 390, house3.jpg, 3
HA44CD, 320, house4.jpg, 8

I have a form:
Code: [Select]
<?php

if (isset($_POST['price']))
{
$filename = "houses.txt";
$fileOpen = fopen($filename, "r");
$max = $_POST['price'];
$rowsArr  = file ($filename);
foreach ($rowsArr as $row)
{
$lineDetails = $row;
$item_array = explode (",", $row);

if (((int) $item_array[1]) <= $max)
{
?>
                <form action='visit2.php' method='post'>
                <?php
echo("Post Code - " . $item_array[0]. "<br>");
echo("Price - " . $item_array[1]. ",000 <br>");
echo("Picture - " . $item_array[2]. "<br>");
echo("Number of Visits - " . $item_array[3]. "<br>");
?>
               
<input type='checkbox' name='mybox'>
<input type='submit' value='Visit Property'>
</form>
<?php
}


}
fclose($fileOpen);
}
?>

and i also have "visit.php"

Code: [Select]
<?php

if (isset($_POST['mybox']))
{
$filename = "houses.txt";
$fileOpen = fopen($filename, "r+");

$filename2 = "houses2.txt";
$fileWrite = fopen($filename2, "w");



$visit = $_POST['mybox'];

$rowsArr  = file ($filename);
foreach ($rowsArr as $row)
{
$lineDetails = $row;
$item_array = explode (",", $row);

$fileText = $item_array[3]+1;


if ($visit == true)
{

echo("Post Code - " . $item_array[0]. "<br>");
echo("Price - " . $item_array[1]. ",000 <br>");
echo("Picture - " . $item_array[2]. "<br>");
echo("Number of Visits - " . $item_array[3] . "<br>");
echo("<br>");
fwrite($fileWrite, $fileText);

}


}
fclose($fileOpen);
fclose($fileWrite);

}


?>
What i need is , when the user in the form, clicks on the checked box, it sends the information to 'visits.php' and it writes to the text file, increasing the selected value by one

Please can anyone help, im really struggling with this

Thank You

Why is it grouping the checked boxes instead of keeping them in order like area is?
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
for($i=0; $i<10; $i++){
echo "<br />Ignore = [".$_POST['ignore'][$i]."]";

if($_POST['ignore'][$i]!="true")
echo ", Area = ".$_POST['area'][$i];
}
}
else
{
echo "<form method='post'><table>";
for($i=0; $i<10; $i++){
echo "
 <tr>
  <td><input type='checkbox' name='ignore[]' value='true' /></td>
  <td><input type='text' name='area[]' /></td>
 </tr>\n";
}
echo "
</table>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' />
</form>";
}

Input:
Quote

Checked - ignored
Unchecked - a
Checked - ignored2
Unchecked - b
Checked - ignored3
Unchecked - c
Unchecked - d
Checked - ignored4
Unchecked - e
Checked - ignored5


Output:
Quote

Ignore = [true]
Ignore = [true]
Ignore = [true]
Ignore = [true]
Ignore = [true]
Ignore = [], Area = c
Ignore = [], Area = d
Ignore = [], Area = ignored4
Ignore = [], Area = e
Ignore = [], Area = ignored5
