PHP - Sending Email On Multiple Selected Records
Hi all!
I have a page that is used to manage multiple user requests. The problem that I am having, is that it is supposed to send an email to the reporter any time their request is updated from this page. This works fine as long as I am doing one at a time, but when I try to update multiple records it doesn't send the emails. (All other functionality is working fine though.) Here is a summary of what I have so far: The form field to pass the users' emails Code: [Select] <input type="hidden" name="user_email<?= $arrValues["mantis_bug_id"] ?>" id="user_email<?= $arrValues["mantis_bug_id"] ?>" value="<?=$arrValues["email"]?>" /> This gets passed, along with the rest, to an update case on the same page, where I use a foreach() to process the multiple records: Code: [Select] foreach($_POST['chkResult'] as $intBugID){ . . . . . if (isset($_POST["user_email$intBugID"])){ $emailTo = $_POST["user_email$intBugID"]; $emailSubject = "Mantis issue $intBugID has been modified."; $emailContent = "Mantis issue $intBugID has recently been modified. Please review the changes that have been made here [link]</a><br />If you have any questions or concerns regarding this issue, please contact Mike or Matt.<br />Thank you,<br />The IT Team."; include_once("{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/includes/Email.class.php"); $email = new Email(); $email->ContentType = "text/html"; $email->From = "me@myemail.org"; $email->FromName = "MOPS Mantis Bugtracker"; $email->to($emailTo); $email->bcc('me@myemail.org'); $email->subject($emailSubject); $email->setBody($emailContent); $email->send; echo 'User: ' . $emailTo. '<br />'; echo "User Email: " . $emailTo. "<br /><br />"; } }//end foreach As I said, this all works fine when I'm processing one issue at a time, but not when doing multiples. All other actions in the foreach() are also working. You'll notice that I'm echoing the username and email at the end for debugging purposes. The interesting thing is, that will output all of the correct usernames and emails for each user, it's just that the $email->send; just isn't working. Needless to say, this has become quite a frustrating bug to fix. Any help at all is much appreciated! Thanks, Mike Similar TutorialsI have a form that has a section where you can pick multiple check boxes and when the info is returned to me it has the word Array at the end of it. There are 2 check boxes on the form one fo Steve and one for Ben Below is the code I am using in my PHP file foreach($_POST['TestGroup'] as $val) { echo $val . "\n"; } The output from the PHP code is----Steve Ben Array.------ How do I keep Array from coming up? Hi Apologies as this may seem like a trival matter, but im new to coding and just need a bit of help.... I have a form which includes a drop down menu of various departments. Depending on which department is chosen, the form is then sent to different people. This is the html code for the drop down: <select name="department" size="1" id="department"> <option value="" selected>Please select</option> <option value="Health & Safety">Health & Safety</option> <option value="Property">Property</option> </select> So for example the first option mails out to mrjones@email.com mrsmith@email.com and the second would go to mrbloggs@emai.com mr@black@email.com and mrwhite@email.com etc... I have a separate php file which gathers the variables so i was thinking an if statement would need to be put into this page? Out of interest i tried something myself and sort of got a result im after: <select name='department' id='department'> <option value='man1@website.com'>Department 1</option> <option value='man2@website.com'>Department 1</option> </select> Then i used $email_to = $_POST['department']; in the php file. But i would like to be able to send to 2 or 3 people so tried: <select name='department' id='department'> <option value='man1@website.com, man2@website.com '>Department 1</option> </select> This didnt work Any help very much appreciated Thanks Jools I need Delete Duplicate Email Records That Are Attached To One Account But Can Be Found In Multiple Accounts I have a table, consumer_mgmt. It collects consumer information from various forms. These forms are available through different pages that are part of a business package. A business can offer these signups to gather names and emails from consumers for various types of specials they may offer. So a consumer my be in the consumer_mgmt table 5, 10, 15 times for that particular business. But, that consumer may be in the consumer_mgmt table multiple times for a different business. So multiple times for multiple businesses. I need to remove duplicates for each business account so the consumer is only the consumer_mgmt only once for each business. There are approximately 15,000 rows currently in the consumer_mgmt table. I'm not sure where to begin on the logic. Since there are multiple business accounts that the emails are attached to, would one have to build a case for each loop? I have got myself a bit confused whilst trying to create an 'update selected records' page. In memberlist.php, a set of records is shown, each with a checkbox. When the user clicks on 'Update Selected' it opens up membermultiupdate.php. I cannot get this page to recognise which id's have been passed and put them in an array so only the checked records are shown. The page in question is at http://www.margate-fc.com/memberlist.php. When it opens membermultiupdate.php, there are currently 2 errors.... Code: [Select] Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /homepages/46/d98455693/htdocs/membermultiupdate.php on line 11 which refers to $update = implode ("','", mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['checkbox'])) Code: [Select] Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /homepages/46/d98455693/htdocs/membermultiupdate.php on line 44which is while ($rowmembers = mysql_fetch_array($members)) I have also tried mysql_fetch_assoc there too. I may be miles out or I may be missing something simple but I have tried for hours now to get my head around this and have not even got to the point where I can see if the actual update side works! Any suggestions would be greatly received and I have put the relevant code from both pages below. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions Steve memberlist.php The query to get all rows $members = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM users"); The submit form with checkboxes <form name="form1" method="post" action="membermultiupdate.php"> <?php while ($rowmembers = mysql_fetch_assoc($members)) {echo ' <tr> <td><input type="hidden" name="id[]" value="'.$rowmembers['id'].'" />'.$rowmembers['id'].'</td> <td><input name="checkbox[]" type="checkbox" id="checkbox[]" value="'.$rowmembers['id'].'"></td></td> <td>'.$rowmembers['id'].'</td> <td>'.$rowmembers['username'].'</td> <td>'.$rowmembers['first_name'].'</td> <td>'.$rowmembers['last_name'].'</td> <td>'.$rowmembers['email'].'</td> '; if ($rowmembers['active'] == 1) {echo '<td> YES </td>';} else {echo ' <td>NO </td>';} echo ' <td><a href="memberedit.php?member='.$rowmembers['id'].'"><img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/custom-icon-design/office/256/edit-icon.png" width="15" height="15" /></a> <img src="http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/custom-icon-design/office/256/delete-icon.png" width="15" height="15" /></td> </tr>';} ?> <tr> <td colspan="4" align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update Selected"></td> </tr> </form> membmultiupdate.php The code bit to try to show all checked rows if (isset ($_POST['submit'])) { if (is_array ($_POST['checkbox'])) { $update = implode ("','", mysql_real_escape_string ($_POST['id'])); $members = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id IN (".$update.")

I'd appreciate the help if you can.

I am trying to create an admin page for a local Gym Club to allow an Administrator to be able to update club prices which then show on different screens on the site.
I have been able to display the "Prices Admin" page which basically reads a MySQL database table (pricelist), display the description, member price and non-member price and allows the user to update any of these fields.
My problem is that when I try writing the data back to the database with the "UPDATE" statement it fails, what I mean is that nothing updates. I have at the moment commented out the actual update statement and put in a "file_put_contents" command" to try and work out what is in the various fields before the UPDATE is run. I find that the display/INPUT works perfectly well but when I do a foreach on the $record array variable I am getting strange results.
I may not have explained this very well but here are the relevant sections of my code;
// Display and Input section

I have a problem with an amend to an admin system I am trying to change. The shop stocks different colours of each product and the client wants to be able to update the stock levels of all colours of one product (which all share the same title) on one form. I have tried following some instructions on some sites and tried making my own and I can get it to display the form and the values correctly, but on submission it does nothing but direct me to a page without a title value in the address (e.g. www.example.com/example/stock_level_2.php?title=). I think it may be to do with the arrays I am using, has anyone got any ideas? Here is the code.

The code executes but nothing is entered into my database. This usually happens when there's a mismatch in data types.
How do I ensure that description goes in as text which in sql is wrapped in single quotes, but also make sure the other variables go in as numeric.
// an array items to insert $array = array( 'theid' => $theid, 'descr' => $descr, 'costperunit' => $costperunit, 'quantity' => $quantity, 'costperlot' => $costperlot ); // begin the sql statement $sql1 = "INSERT INTO descriptions (jobid, description, costperunit, quantity, costperlot) VALUES "; $it = new ArrayIterator( $array ); // a new caching iterator gives us access to hasNext() $cit = new CachingIterator( $it ); // loop over the array foreach ( $cit as $value ) { // add to query $sql1 .= "('".$cit->key()."','" .$cit->current()."')"; if( $cit->hasNext() ) { $sql1 .= ","; } } hello guys moving on from inserting multiple records im now stuck with updating multiple records. i can get most of the details nailed but i need it to match the id's for the table the code i have in the sql part are Code: [Select] if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { //Assign each array to a variable $StaffMember = $_POST['StaffMember']; $referrer = $_POST['referrer']; $referred = $_POST['referred']; $SentOut = $_POST['SentOut']; $today = date("y.m.d H:i:s"); $user_id = $_SESSION['user_id']; $IssueNum = $_POST['Referrerid']; $limit = count($StaffMember); $values = array(); // initialize an empty array to hold the values for($k=0;$k<$limit;$k++){ $msg[] = "$limit New KPI's Added"; $values[$k] = "( '{$StaffMember[$k]}', '{$referrer[$k]}', '{$referred[$k]}', '{$SentOut[$k]}', '{$today}', '{$user_id}' )"; // build the array of values for the query string } $query = "UPDATE `Referrer` (StaffMember, referer, referred, SentOut, SentOutDate, SentOutBy) VALUES " . implode( ', ', $values ) . " WHERE IssueNum= '{$IssueNum[$k]}'"; echo $query; } i obviously want the records updating where the issuenumber is the same and if the check box in the form is ticked help with this one? Hi there, Im fairly new at php and mysql but nevertheless im trying to build a web based campaign game for starwars minatures boardgame. Its fairly straightforward and going well.. However ive been thinking about how it will work and have stumbled across a possible problem (because of my limited craft at programming). I want to have a single form that updates all records in the tables, this would simulate an "end of turn" button. Im sure i can do this if doing stuff in the game (e.g. move, create , modify, delete, fleets/ships and auto increment ships hulls simulating repair) if it was done on the same page. However i wanted to to initiate some of these adjustments in their respective pages (fleet.php, planets.php, ships.php etc) and then once the user is happy to click the end turn button somewhere which would update all of these things at the same time.. Is this possible at all??? If anybody could help that would be brilliant. Thank you p.s. if anybody wants a copy of the finished product when its complete, your most welcome. I know how to pull data from sql table and limit down the results, what i wanted to do is pull data from a sql table 'finished' and list data that has paid='0' this is then limited to show the amount of rows set by variable 'maxPay' here is my list what im pulling atm; <h2>Payment </h2> <?php if($userType[user_type]==28){ $queryPay = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM finished WHERE paid='0'&&method!='FALSE'&&method!='credit';") or die(mysql_error()); $queryAdmin = mysql_query("SELECT maxPay FROM `admin`;") or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_num_rows($queryPay); //echo $row."row<br />"; $rowsArray = mysql_fetch_assoc($queryAdmin); $rows = $rowsArray[maxPay]; //echo $rows."rows<br />"; if($rows>$row){ $r=$row; } else{ $r=$rows; } $s=0; while($s<$r){ if($_POST[complete]==TRUE){ mysql_query("UPDATE `finished` SET `paid`='$_POST[paid]' WHERE `auctionID`='$_POST[aid]';"); $_POST[complete] = FALSE; } $s++; } $t=0; while($t<$r){ $queryuser = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM finished WHERE paid='0'&&method!='FALSE'&&method!='credit';") or die(mysql_error()); $user = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "username"); //echo $user; $item = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "itemName"); //echo $item; $value = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "marketPrice"); //echo $value; $method = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "method"); //echo $method; $id = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "auctionID"); //echo $id; //echo $method; if($method=='isk'){ ?> <FORM method="post" action="pay.php"> <input type="hidden" name=complete value="TRUE" /> <input type="hidden" name=paid value="YES" /> <input type="hidden" name=username value="<? echo $user; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name=aid value="<? echo $id; ?>" /> <input type="submit" value="Paid" /><? echo $user." won a ".$item." he selected to receive ".$value."ISK."; echo "<br />"; ?></FORM><? } elseif($method=='ship'){ ?> <FORM method="post" action="pay.php"> <input type="hidden" name=complete value="TRUE" /> <input type="hidden" name=paid value="YES" /> <input type="hidden" name=username value="<? echo $user; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name=aid value="<? echo $id; ?>" /> <input type="submit" value="Paid" /><? echo $user." won a ".$item." he selected to receive the ship."; echo "<br />"; ?></FORM><? } else{ } $t++; } } else{ echo "You are not an Admin."; } ?> and pay.php: <?php header('Location: /admin.php'); include "connect.php"; echo $_POST[aid]; if($_POST[complete]==TRUE){ $tempID = (($_POST[aid])+1); mysql_query("UPDATE `finished` SET `paid`='$_POST[paid]' WHERE `auctionID`='$tempID';") or die(mysql_error()); $_POST[complete] = FALSE; } ?> at the moment i am listing all my data, and processing it using pay.php, each dataset has a "paid" button, i want to change this to using a checkbox at end of each data row, and a submit button at the bottom. this way i can select which rows to update and tick the checkbox, then click submit and those rows will then be updated the value '0' in db to a value of 'YES'. hope i explained myself clearly enough for some help. im a relative php noob still in training. This is the form that I'm using and it populates just fine but when you make the changes I can't figure out how to get it to update each record in my database. Code: [Select] <table width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="0"> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?update=1"; ?>" method="post"> <tr> <td><b>Category Name</b></td> <td><b>Category Description</b></td> <td><b>Order</b></td> <td align="right"><input type="submit" value="Update"></td> </tr> <?php read_cat_list($cat); for ($i = 0; $i < $cat["count"]; $i++) { echo "<tr>\n"; echo "<td width=\"30%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"cat_name_" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_id"]) . "\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"250\" value=\"" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_name"]) . "\"></td>\n"; echo "<td width=\"36%\" valign=\"top\"><textarea name=\"cat_desc_" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_id"]) . "\" rows=\"2\" cols=\"30\">" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_desc"]) . "</textarea></td>\n"; echo "<td width=\"10%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"cat_order_" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_id"]) . "\" size=\"3\" maxlength=\"3\" value=\"" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_order"]) . "\"></td>\n"; echo "<td width=\"24%\" valign=\"top\">[ <a href=\"#\" onmouseover=\"window.status = 'Delete " . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_name"]) . "'; return true;\" onmouseout=\"window.status = ''; return true;\" onclick=\"javascript:del_cat(" . $cat[$i]["cat_id"] . ", '" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_name"]) . "'); return false;\">Delete</a> ]</td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; } ?> <tr> <td colspan="4" align="right"><input type="submit" value="Update"></td> </tr> </form> </table> the safe_string function just cleans up the output/input from the database, This next block is my form processor for this form. Code: [Select] <?php function update_cats($vars) { $err = ""; #if ($SESSION["level"] != ADMIN) { # $err = ERR_NOT_ENOUGH_ACCESS; #} else { $temp = array_keys($vars); for ($i = 0; $i < count($temp); $i++) { if (substr($temp[$i], 0, 9) == "cat_name_") { if ($vars[$temp[$i]] == "") { $err = "Category names cannot be blank."; break; } else { $name_query["cat_name"] .= substr($temp[$i], 9) .
