PHP - Dynamic Form Fields Array Post To Mysql
In brief, I'm attempting to capture the form data from a dynamic form to a mysql database. From he
To He
The post data looks like this from the form - Array(
... ) PHP CODE:
... As a non-php or mysql developer, I'm learning on the fly. This is a section of the php file that I was using to post the form data to mySQL. This worked great up to the point I added the dynamic form widget.
<?php
// This function will run within each post array including multi-dimensional arrays
function ExtendedAddslash(&$params)
{
foreach ($params as &$var) {
// check if $var is an array. If yes, it will start another ExtendedAddslash() function to loop to each key inside.
is_array($var) ? ExtendedAddslash($var) : $var=addslashes($var);
unset($var);
}
}
// Initialize ExtendedAddslash() function for every $_POST variable
ExtendedAddslash($_POST);
$submission_id = $_POST['submission_id'];
$formID =$_POST['formID'];
$ip =$_POST['ip'];
$fname =$_POST['fname'];
$lname =$_POST['lname'];
$spousename =$_POST['spousename'];
$address =$_POST['address'][0]." ".$_POST['address'][1]." ".$_POST['address'][2]." ".$_POST['address'][3]." ".$_POST['address'][4]." ".$_POST['address'][5];
...
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_username = 'xxxxx';
$db_password = 'xxxxx';
$db_name = 'xxxxx';
mysql_connect( $db_host, $db_username, $db_password) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name);
// search submission ID
$query = "SELECT * FROM `tableName` WHERE `submission_id` = '$submission_id'";
$sqlsearch = mysql_query($query);
$resultcount = mysql_numrows($sqlsearch);
if ($resultcount > 0) {
mysql_query("UPDATE `tableName` SET
`fname` = '$fname',
`lname` = '$lname',
`spousename` = '$spousename',
`address` = '$address',
WHERE `submission_id` = '$submission_id'")
or die(mysql_error());
} else {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `tableName` (submission_id, formID, IP, fname, lname, spousename, address)
VALUES ('$submission_id', '$formID', '$ip', '$fname', '$lname', '$spousename', '$address') ")
or die(mysql_error());
}
?>
It has been suggested that I explore using the PHP Explode() function. It's possible that may work, but can't get my head around how to apply the function to the PETLIST Array. Looking for suggestions or direction to find a solution for this challenge. Looking forward to any replies. Similar TutorialsI can not get the values from the javascript add row to go dynamically as a row into MySql only the form values show up as the form below as one row. I made it as an array, but no such luck, I have tried this code around a multitude of ways. I don't know what I am doing wrong, kindly write out the correct way.

I have a simple form here > http://jmdostal.com/route2.php (Feel free to use it to test), that returns data on the next page, in a format such as : Jose F - Jose A - 285 Brenda L [Delivery] [Dallas] - Items Job 2 [Pickup] [Arlington] - Items [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - Gustavo - +1 - 284/pickup Jody W [Delivery] [Keller] - Items [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - [] [] - My question is how can I get it not to show the fields that are empty, so I dont have a bunch of lines with [] [] - formatting Here is my coding you can view here > http://jmdostal.com/code.txt A friend had suggested to me trying to use isset , so I tried it on a few lines, such as : if(isset($_POST['items14'])){ $items14 = "- ". Trim(stripslashes($_POST['items14'])); } But it didnt seem to change anything. Im sure this is something simply, Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks ! Hi guys, I really hope this will make sense. I am creating a dynamic field on a button click for Pickup Location. That works fine and submitting the form to the database works fine. However, instead of one entry, each time I submit the form with multiple Pickup Locations, it creates multiple separate database entries. Here is the PHP for submitting:
if(isset($_POST['new']) && $_POST['new']==1){
$pickups = '';
foreach($_POST['pickups'] as $cnt => $pickups)
$pickups .= ',' .$pickups;
$locations = count($_POST["pickups"]);
if ($locations > 0) {
for ($i=0; $i < $locations; $i++) {
if (trim($_POST['pickups'] != '')) {
$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['name']);
$price = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['price']);
//$origin = $_POST['origin'];
$pickups = $_POST["pickups"][$i];
$destination = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['destination']);
$dep_date = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['dep_date']);
$ret_date = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['ret_date']);
$fleet_number = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['fleet_number']);
$driver = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['driver']);
$itinerary = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_POST['itinerary']);
$submittedby = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, $_SESSION["username"]);
$trn_date = mysqli_real_escape_string($con, date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
$query="insert into tours (`name`, `price`, `pickups`, `destination`, `dep_date`, `ret_date`, `fleet_number`, `driver`, `itinerary`, `submittedby`, `trn_date`)values ('$name', '$price', '$pickups', '$destination', '$dep_date', '$ret_date', '$fleet_number', '$driver', '$itinerary', '$submittedby', '$trn_date')";
mysqli_query($con,$query)
or die(mysqli_error($con));
if(mysqli_affected_rows($con)== 1 ){
$message = '<i class="fa fa-check"></i> - Record Inserted Successfully';
}
}
}
}
}

$(document).on('click', '.btn_remove', function(){
var button_id = $(this).attr("id");
$('#row'+button_id+'').remove();
});
$("#submit").on('click',function(){
var formdata = $("#add_tour").serialize();
$.ajax({
url :"",
type :"POST",
data :formdata,
cache :false,
success:function(result){
alert(result);
$("#add_tour")[0].reset();
}
});
});
});
</script>
Anyone have any idea where I am going wrong? Before you say it, Yes, I know, Use Prepared statements 😷 Edited February 6 by DanEthicalAdded tags Ok from one brick wall to the next. After lots of help with my last query I moved onto the next task an I'm completely stuck again. I have a form thats created with a loop. Here is that form <form action="" method="post" id=""> <?php for ($i = 1; $i <= $totalRows_rs_cacheNum; $i++) { echo "<label>Cache ".$i."</label> <span id='sprytextfield".$i."'> <input name='cache[$i]' type='text' value='".$_POST['cache[$i]']."'/> <span class='textfieldRequiredMsg'>Required!</span></span> <div class='clear'></div>"; } ?> <input name="nextbtn" type="submit" value="Next" /> When a user enters data in all the fields, If one piece of information is incorrect an error pops up saying one of the fields you entered does not match the fields in the database. At the same time however i wish to keep the data they have entered in each of the fields. Normally you'd just write value="<?php echo $_POST['fieldName'];?>" but for some reason in this case it does not work. can someone point me in the right direction. I've tried Google many different terms but I can not find the correct term to find my answer. Hence me asking you guys again. Thanks Now, here's what I'm trying to do:
First, I have a file filled with data like such:
title
tag
1
2
Title
Description
Etc
Next, I upload that file to my site which then proceeds to make an array with said data and then inserts it into my database. But this is not the intended behavior. Right now, if I upload the same file again, it will re-insert everything and duplicate all entries.
What I want to do is check if the data in the file has already been added, do nothing. If it's been modified, I want to update the database where changes have been made and not duplicate anything.
Currently, my code does all that except one thing whre I'm really stuck: it won't update the changes from the file to the database. I've tried echoing everything and it's to be working except for the query so I take it the error is in there but I can't find it... I'm still learning PHP and MySQL so I thought maybe somebody could help indicate where or what I'm doing wrong in the query. Thanks in advance !
Here's my attempt at doing so:
$register_ep_data = array(
'show' => $name,
'season' => $srNum,
'ep' => $epNum,
'app_name' => $epName,
'tag' => $tag,
'app_about' => $desc,
'app_website' => $imdb,
'app_release' => $release,
'type' => $type,
'app_code' => $Frame
);
array_walk($register_ep_data, 'array_fu');
$fields = '`' . implode('`, `', array_keys($register_ep_data)) . '`';
$data = '\'' . implode('\', \'', $register_ep_data) . '\'';
$epFound = false;
$id = 0;
while ($ep_list_data = mysql_fetch_array($turtle)) {
$id = $ep_list_data['app_id'];
$currentNAME = $ep_list_data['app_name'];
$SERIES = $ep_list_data['show'];
if ($SERIES == $name) {
if ($currentNAME == $epName) {
$epFound = true;
break;
}
}
}
if ($epFound) {
mysql_query("UPDATE `games` SET ($fields) VALUES ($data) WHERE `app_id` = '$id'");
} else {
mysql_query("INSERT INTO `games` ($fields) VALUES ($data)");
}
A few explanations:
$fields would equal to something like: `show`, `season`, `ep`, etc...
and $data to 'example', '1', '2', 'etc'
Hi all,
Its been a long time since last help request from real professional from here but I'm again in trouble with a much more spectacular plan I'm working on. For those who are interested in the plan then here it is: My Idea was to make a new build starting from scratch and make it as dynamical as possible. So my goal is not to make almost anything fixed in the code. I have made a decision to make a one supper large table for multiple different entries so no more joining and no more views for me.! In this help request I'm having trouble with Posting values to a page processing page lets call it record_changer.php The sole purpose of this file is to get form posts and decide what to do. Either update, delete, or insert. record_changer.php
<?php
include '../../config/config.inc.php';
if(is_ajax()){
# Checks if action value exists
if(isset($_POST["action"]) && !empty($_POST["action"])){
$action = $_POST["action"];
# Switch case for value of action
switch($action){
case "insert": datatable_insert_function();
break;
case "update": datatable_update_function();
break;
case "delete": datatable_delete_function();
break;
}
}
}
# Function to check if the request is an AJAX request
function is_ajax(){ return isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest'; }
function datatable_insert_function(){
}
function datatable_update_function(){
}
function datatable_delete_function(){
}
?>
The problem.The problem is that the $insert places two entries to the DB. I cant seem to understand why.?
# Test _POST values
$_POST['UserID'] = '2';
$_POST['WorkID'] = '22';
$_POST['Status'] = '1';
$_POST['Code'] = '1';
$_POST['Title'] = '1';
$columns = array();
foreach(array_keys($_POST) as $name){
# Exclude Action and ID
if($name == 'Action' || $name == 'ID' || $name == 'submit' ){ continue; }
$columns[] = $name;
}
print_r($columns);
echo "<br>";
$data = array_fill_keys($columns, 'NULL');
print_r($data);
foreach($data as $key => $value){
$data[$key] = empty($_POST[$key]) ? 'NULL' : "'".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[$key])."'";
}
echo "<br>";
print_r($data);
$insert = mysql_query('INSERT INTO datatable (ID, '.implode(', ',$columns).')VALUES (null, '.implode(',',$data).')') or die(mysql_error());
No errors no nothing. Just two entries of correct data. PS. Sorry for a lot of prints in the code it is work and idea in the progress. The posts at the moment are fixed in the code so it is easier to refresh and debug. Please help if you spot the problem. Im really out of ideas. Some fresh eyes might make a difference. And Please for those who want to say it is a bad idea and why and why and so on.. Move a long.!!! Im not interested in whinging i have a great use for this and just having trouble with the two entries. Thanks. Edited by ztimer, 14 January 2015 - 03:27 PM. Hi- the code below lets me upload a CSV file to my database if I have 1 field in my database and 1 column in my CSV.

It is working A ok but I want to be able to submit it with javascript instead, so i don't load any lib. And it is now a problem. The method I use to get the form field names and values in jquery is so simple and dynamic hence if changes are made on the html form i don't have to edit my jquery file to effect the change ie in respect to changing the name of the fields or adding more fields. But I don't know to archieve this using javascript. So i want to post my jquery script, for you all my mighty programmers to assist me get a javascript Clone for me, thank you very much for Helping Jquery file $("form.ajax").on("submit", function(){ var that= $(this); that.find('[name]').each(function(index,value){ var that = $(this), name =that.attr('name'), value =that.val(); data[name]=value; }); return false;}); Now the above code is just my major focus of the script. What it does is that select the form with an ajax class attribute and run a function after the user submits the form. The var that get reference to the above form throug the (this) reference. Next i use find fuction to look through out the open and close of our form.ajax form for any element that has the name attribute and set it into array using the .each(function (index,value){}) this is my main focus how to ilterate through the form looking for name attribute and set my finding into array using javascript. The next that var reference to the find statement and then we steal the name attribute and value from our findings and set an array called data with the stolen name variable as its index n value attribute as its value. Thank you once more my aim again is with the find and array setting statement. i have my form with 5 fields that are not required to be filled out. Code: [Select] <input class="inputbg" type="text" name="MAC[]" /> <input class="inputbg" type="text" name="MAC[]" /> <input class="inputbg" type="text" name="MAC[]" /> <input class="inputbg" type="text" name="MAC[]" /> <input class="inputbg" type="text" name="MAC[]" /> On my process page I want to remove all of the empty index's that did not have data entered. I am new to sending array data via POST do I need to do anything else other then what is below? Code: [Select] foreach($MAC as $key => $value) { if($value == "") { unset($MAC[$key]); } } $mac_addresses = array_values($MAC); if(empty($mac_addresses)){ $error = "You did not enter any MAC adresses."; $valid = "false"; } I have a Form that has 10 questions. When the User completes the Form, each Response needs to be a separate record. (My database has a many-to-many relationship with a "member" and "question" table joined by a "answer" table in the middle. And each Form field will go into its own unique record to make the many-to-many work.) At the top of my Form I have... if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST'){ // Form was Submitted (Post). // Initialize Errors Array. $errors = array(); // Trim all form data. $trimmed = array_map('trim', $_POST); // ************************ // Validate Form Data. * // ************************ // Validate Answer1. if (strlen($trimmed['answer01']) >= 2 && strlen($trimmed['answer01']) <= 1024){ // Valid Answer1. $answerArray[0] = $trimmed['answer01']; }else{ // Invalid Answer1. $errors['question01'] = 'Answer must be 2-1024 characters.'; }//End of VALIDATE ANSWER1 // Validate Answer2. // : // : // Validate Answer10. And down farther in my code, I have each Field in my Form set up like this... Code: [Select] <!-- Question 1 --> <label for="question01">1.) Why did you decide to start your own business?</label> <textarea id="question1" name="answer01" cols="60" rows="8"><?php if (isset($answerArray[0])){echo htmlentities($answerArray[0], ENT_QUOTES);} ?></textarea> <?php if (!empty($errors['question01'])){ echo '<span class="error">' . $errors['question01'] . '</span>'; } ?> So if my Form works like I am thinking, all 10 Form Fields would end up here... Code: [Select] $answerArray[0] $answerArray[1] $answerArray[2] $answerArray[3] $answerArray[4] $answerArray[5] $answerArray[6] $answerArray[7] $answerArray[8] $answerArray[9] First of all, does that sound correct? If that part is correct, then how do I take the $answerArray[] and INSERT each value into a different record in my "answer" table?? Hope that makes sense?! Thanks, Debbie Hello! Hi all. I am currently trying to build a site that will allow users to manage a self build house project. This is my first php MySQL project but I am getting to grips with it ok. I am currently building this for my own benefit at the moment as I am about to undertake a self build. I have a few questions to put to you guys. This is where I am at the moment I have a database table named materials which contains a list of materials , quantities, unit of measurement, id. My site has a user control panel that has separate forms for each stage of the build where the user enters the quantities of the materials, and the data is displayed as an array for each stage. So, heres question 1. I want to take the data and use it to generate a form which will be completed by several merchants.... so it will display similar to the array but will be a form with a text box for price where the merchant will insert a price. i.e <?php mysql_connect ("localhost", "test", "test") or die ('I cannot connect to the database becuase: ' . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db ("matquant"); // query $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `quantites` ORDER BY `id` ASC"); // results while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<br />" .$row ['id']. " " .$row ['material']. " " .$row['quantity']. " " .$row['unit']. "<br />";} echo mysql_error(); ?> I want to add a text input box form which will allow the merchant to add a price to each item that is added to the array. so there the merchant will be able to give me a price for all the items in my list. Heres where I get stuck.... as I am constantly adding to the list I have no fixed amount of items so the form for the merchants needs to be built dynamically, ie each time I add a new material, I want the merchants form to get a new input. I am not very good at describing my problems but I am hoping that someone can help me out from the information given. Thats the first question. i like to get issues sorted in small bites. the second is the next big bite, I want to send the form above to several merchants, so I intend to have a user database with a user for each merchant, and link the tables so that each merchant can provide a price for each material, ideally the form would highlight the materials that have not had a price yet. I'm looking for advice on the best method of doing this basically but if I can get the first question sorted that would be great.. I have the test site local but can upload it it to the server if it will help you see what im trying to do. Any help that anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. I have a form with lots of fields. How would I run a loop to get each field name and data into an array, so i can then send it off to a function to process each field name / data differently. Instead of typing all the variables in the main function name for each post. Would a foreach statement work? I'm using some code to create a select menu of a fieldname of data I have in a mysql database : Code: [Select] <?php mysql_connect('localhost' , 'dbname', 'password'); mysql_select_db('dbname'); $result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons"); if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0) { ?> <select name="Persons"> <?php while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ ?> <option value="<?php echo $rows['id']; ?>"> <?php echo $rows['FirstName']; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> What I would like to do is to elevate this into a jump menu form so that if the user selects an item from my form they are taken to a results page showing the full row of data from the database. Basically a search form containing items from the database they can choose to see more details on. eg. In my example you select a persons name and then you are taken to a results page which displays the details of that person from the database. Problem is I don't know how to do this and have been trawling around for a couple of days to find a solution (sorry I'm new to php). I would appreciate some help or a working example would be great of : 1/ A working dynamic jump menu 2/ The page that would process the form 3/ The results page displaying the data I have selected. Thank you for your time... I want to pull some records plus unique key from one mysql table and then use them as questions in a form/questionnaire. The post form will have six radio buttons to the right of the fields pulled with the key posted but hidden and will wirte to another table. I guess this is a templating question- as I've successfully retrieved the table 1 records via a query - I just can't seem to use them in the form. Below is the code I'm using to view table "PCM1" <?php // query.php require_once 'login.php'; $db_server = mysql_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password); if (!$db_server) die("Unable to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($db_database) or die("Unable to select database: " . mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT * FROM pcm1"; $result = mysql_query($query); if (!$result) die ("Database access failed: " . mysql_error()); $rows = mysql_num_rows($result); for ($j = 0 ; $j < $rows ; ++$j) { echo 'RID: ' . mysql_result($result,$j,'mcde') ; echo 'Statement: ' . mysql_result($result,$j,'oppclub') . '<br />'; ; } Hi Folks,
Firstly I am new, I have read several topics here and learned a lot, I would class myself as 'slightly better than basic', but my knowledge is mostly gained from reading code.
I am making a simple POST form for work, the data gets inserted into MySQL, nice and easy, I can make it work if I write out the statement completely, BUT I need to make a new form, it will have HUNDREDS of input fields, I really don't want to write the code, and I figured programmatically is a good way to go anyway as forms change and new forms may be required, so I set about building a function to completely handle my post data, bind it to a statement and insert it into a table, I have scrapped it a half dozen times already because something fundamentally doesn't work, but I am very close! The function can write the statement, but I need to bind the POST values before I can insert, something going wrong here and I would appreciate some help, I have a feeling it's a problem with an array, but anyway I will show you what I have, give you some comments as to my reasoning, and hopefully you can help me with the last bit
public function getColumnNames($table){
$sql = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE table_name = :table";
try {
$stmt = $this->dbh->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindValue(':table', $table, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();
$output = array();
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$output[] = $row['COLUMN_NAME'];
}
$all = array($output);
$a1 = array_slice($output, 1); // I don't want column 1, it contains the ID, its auto incremented.
$a2 = array_slice($a1, 0, -3); // I don't want the last 3 columns as they have default values
$selected = array($a2); // contains all the columns except those excluded by array_slice, columns now match all of the input fields on the form
foreach ($selected as $row){
$fields = "`" . implode('`, `', $row) . "`"; // I'm making `fields` here,
$bind = ":" . implode(', :', $row); // And making :values here
}
return array (
"raw" => $all,
"fields" => $fields,
"bind" => $bind
);
}
catch(PDOException $pe) {
trigger_error('Could not connect to MySQL database. ' . $pe->getMessage() , E_USER_ERROR);
}
}
public function addRecord(){
$col = array();
$col = $this->getColumnNames("table");
$raw = array($col['raw']);
$fields = array($col['fields']);
$bind = array($col['bind']);
$columnList = implode('`, `', $fields);
$paramList = implode(', ', $bind);
$sql = "INSERT INTO `{$this->dbtable}` ($columnList) VALUES ($paramList)";
return $sql; // this returns something like:
INSERT INTO `table` (`field1`, `field2`, `field3`) VALUES (:field1, :field2, :field3)";
perfect I thought, now I just need to bind the values from $_POST... then I get stuck.

The way I always do it is $_POST['field_name'], however how would I know if theyve added new fields. Here is an image of what the field looks like so you get a better idea of what im talking about. Hiya I was wondering how one would get make dynamic url variable value pairs from a databases fields. I have a database that I want to use to store variable value pairs that will be used on my pages for dynamic content. It will check one thing for certain besides if the variable value pair match. The table looks like this rpg loc_type loc_type template I want it to check if the rpg is in an array and then check if the url variable and value pair match on from the database. I dont know much about auto code that would generate this on its own and I'm not sure if you can say $_GET[$location]; I dont want to hard code it so it only works with what i code I want the urls variable value pair to be based on the database info which determines which template to show based on those values.
$post='{"cart_items":[{"configuration":{"price":100,"recharge_number":"9999999999"},"product_id":"999","qty":1}]}';
i try this n reslut was :There are no valid items in cart: help me plz
Edited by ShivaGupta, 30 November 2014 - 01:11 AM. Hi I have a form that is to input data from input fields to a table. The form is as follows: $query = $DB->query("SELECT country_code, country_id, IF(country_code = '".$country_code."', '', '') AS sel FROM exp_sme_countries WHERE site_id='".$this->settings['site_id']."' ORDER BY country_name ASC"); foreach ($query->result as $row) { $options .= '<label>' . 'Phrase for ' . $this->settings['countries'][$row['country_code']] . '</label>' . '<br />'; $options .= '<input style="width: 100%; height: 5%;" id="country_data" type="text" name="country_id[]" />' . '<br /><br />'; $options .= '<input type="hidden" name="country_data[' . $row['country_id'] . ']" value="'.$row['country_id'].'" />'; } This outputs: Code: [Select] <input style="width: 100%; height: 5%;" id="country_data" type="text" name="country_id[]" /> <input type="hidden" name="country_data[68]" value="68" /> <input style="width: 100%; height: 5%;" id="country_data" type="text" name="country_id[]" /> <input type="hidden" name="country_data[28]" value="28" /> What I need to do, is get the values from the input fields and then match them with the correct hidden field value So if in the first input field, I typed in 'Test data' and the second input, i typed 'This is great' On the POST, I need to find the the value ('Test data') and also the value from the hidden field. So something like: Quote The text you entered is: Test data with hidden value of 68 The text you entered is: This is great with hidden value of 28 I'd rather not use $_GET as this is a form that inserts data into a database. Could someone point my in the right direction or provide an example? |
