At the bottom of this code you'll see an 'Accept Offer' button, when I click on that another piece of code gets executed as you can see on the bottom of this post.
For example this project has 3 bidders, so 3 times bidder_id and writer_bid so I use 'foreach' and load it in divs, works fine, but now I need to store those variables in a database, which technically works but it doesn't store the bids from the row I pull them from, it just takes the data from the last row, that is if I place the code at the bottom of this thread in my header.
However when I put it inside the loop it executes three times, I saw that when I got an error message that I had to close 3 times cause there are 3 rows in the database table that I pull the data from.
How can I prevent this, and either have it load once when the code is inside the foreach loop, or have it pull the correct writer_bid and bidder_id to store.
<div class="WB-Bottom-block lefts">
<?php $getBidders=" AND project_id=$project_id"; $bidders=getBidder($getBidders); foreach($bidders as $bidder) {
$bidder_id=$bidder['writer_id'];
$writer_bid=$bidder['writer_bid'];
?>
<div class="findwriters_boxes">
<div class="findwriters_right">
<div style="float:right;margin-top:6px;width:170px;">
<input type="hidden" name="writer_bid" id="writer_bid" value="<?php echo $writer_bid; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="bidder_id" id="bidder_id" value="<?php echo $bidder_id; ?>" />
<input type="submit" class="homebtn11" name="submit" id="submit" value="Accept Offer"/>
</div>
</div>
</div><?php } ?>
Below the code that needs to be executed and that results in issues, whether I place it inside the foreach loop, or inside the header instead.
As you can see I tried to store it in input fields so that it stays there so the header can pull it on refresh of the page / click of the button.
<?php if(isset($_POST['todo']) && $_POST['todo']=='submit_project') {
$balance=get_client_balance_info($current_user->ID);
$writer_bid=$_POST['writer_bid'];
$bidder_id=$_POST['bidder_id'];
if($balance >= $_POST['writer_bid']) {
global $wpdb;
$sql3="UPDATE `wp_project` SET `writer_id` = '".$bidder_id."' WHERE `id` =". $project_id;
$wpdb->query($sql3);
$sql4="UPDATE `wp_project` SET `price` = '".$writer_bid."' WHERE `id` =". $project_id;
$wpdb->query($sql4);
$sql5="UPDATE `wp_project` SET `status` = '2' WHERE `id` =". $project_id;
$wpdb->query($sql5);
$success_msg="You accepted a bid, the money will be deducted from your account.";
}
else $fail_msg="Your balance is not sufficient.";
I think you should make a form for each div that you are adding right now you are putting the bidder_id in the different inputs but the same name.
So it will get the last inputs, maybe it's better to specify the inputs with the row id or to separate the forms or make the input names as array.
I hope this helps you.
I fixed it with the help of Diar Selimi like this:
<div style="float:right;margin-top:6px;width:170px;">
<form action="" name="frmeditor" method="post" id="frmeditor" >
<input type="hidden" name="todo" id="todo" value="submit_project" />
<input type="hidden" name="writer_bid" id="writer_bid" value="<?php echo $writer_bid; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="writer_id" id="writer_id" value="<?php echo $writer_id; ?>" />
<input type="submit" class="homebtn11" name="submit" id="submit" value="Accept Offer"/>
</form>
Before that my form and value="submit_project" tags were scattered all over the place!

So I have pulled all information from MySQL with PHP by searching for all rows where the ID is equal to an ID that matches a specific user.
I've then displayed it with a while loop into a nice table. At the end of the table I've added a form with a button to delete the row.
Now, I'm not sure how to accomplish this and I'm not sure what to really search for on the web, but I want the button to delete the specific row that is displayed, but i'm displaying many rows and so the delete button really just deletes the last displayed row. I've tried putting it into an array but that just does the same thing as well.
How might I be able to accomplish this so it deletes the specific row that it is accompanied with? Because Ive generated this button iteratively its essentially useless.
Also the form is set to GET so I could see the error that was occurring in what was passed.
if($logquery->num_rows){
while($logquery->fetch()){
echo "<table><tr><th>Date</th></tr>
<tr><td>".$date."</td></tr>
<tr><th>User</th></tr>
<tr><td>".$user."</td></tr>
<tr><th>Log</th></tr>
<tr><td><p>".$log."</p></td></tr>
<tr><th>Comment</th></tr>
<tr><td>".$comment."</td></tr>
<tr><td><form action='viewuser.php' method='get'>
<input style='display: none;' type='text' name='delog_' id='delog' value='".$log_id."'>
<input type='submit' name='delsub' value='Delete?'>
<form></td></tr>
</table><br>
";
}
}
On delete:
if(isset($_GET['delsub'])){
$delquery = $con->prepare("DELETE FROM logs WHERE log_id = ? ");
$delquery->bind_param("i", $_GET['delog_']);
$delquery->execute();
echo "Log Delete. Returning to user search";
header("refresh:5; users.php");
}
Query:
$logquery = $con->prepare(" SELECT * FROM logs WHERE user_id = ? ORDER BY log_id DESC ");
$logquery->bind_param("s", $userid);
$logquery->execute();
$logquery->store_result();
$logquery->bind_result($log_id, $user_id, $log, $date, $user, $comment);
You have another <form> opening tag instead of closing one.
That is why you can only delete row that matches last log id - there is technically only one form with multiple inputs named delog_. Performing click on any of submit buttons sends that last, overrided id.
It's equivalent to:
<form action="viewuser.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="delog_" id="delog" value="1"> <!-- overrided -->
<input type="submit" name="delsub" value="Delete">
<input type="hidden" name="delog_" id="delog" value="2"> <!-- overrided -->
<input type="submit" name="delsub" value="Delete">
<input type="hidden" name="delog_" id="delog" value="3"> <!-- overrided -->
<input type="submit" name="delsub" value="Delete">
<input type="hidden" name="delog_" id="delog" value="4"> <!-- last id, actually sent -->
<input type="submit" name="delsub" value="Delete">
</form>
This is my second code but the problem is I have 3 queries. So it only returns the last product_id when i Click update it always return product_id=3, but i want update the product_id=2
<form action="update_qty.php" method="POST">
<?php while($getorder = mysqli_fetch_array($order)){ ?>
<input type="hidden" value="<?=$getorder['price']?>" name="actual_price">
<input type="hidden" value="<?=$getorder['product_id']?>" name="product">
<input type="text" value="<?=$getorder['qty']?>" name="qty" size="1" style="text-align:center">
<input type="submit" value="update" name="update">
<?php } ?>
</form>
Your problem is that the PHP is server side and you need something client side to read the value of the text box. You would need a page refresh to pass the text field value to the server so it could write it to the url in the anchor tag. Which is what the form submit would do, but as it would have submitted the value already the anchor tag would be pointless
To do it without a page refresh use Javascript. It would be easy to do with jQuery. You could add an event that writes whatever is entered in the text box the the anchor tags href as it is typed.
I'll do something more like this.
One form per product.In your case when you submit the form the qty value will always be the las found.
<?php while($getorder = mysqli_fetch_array($order)){ ?>
<form action="update_qty.php" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" value="<?=$getorder['price']?>" name="actual_price">
<input type="hidden" value="<?=$getorder['product_id']?>" name="product">
<input type="text" value="<?=$getorder['qty']?>" name="qty" size="1" style="text-align:center">
<input type="submit" value="update" name="update">
</form>
<?php } ?>
You can add more information like this
update
You can not get all values as like that because input name overwrite in every loop iteration.
For multiple values you can try in two ways like:
<?php
while($getorder = mysqli_fetch_array($order)){
$newArr[] = $getorder['price']."~".$getorder['product_id']."~". $ getorder['qty'];
} //while end
?>
<input type="hidden" name="allinputs" value="<?=$newArr?>">
Input field outside the loop.
In php explode array value with ~ and get the all values.
Other solution is that
Your input field name must be change like:
<?php while($getorder = mysqli_fetch_array($order)){ ?>
<input type="hidden" value="<?=$getorder['price']?>" name="actual_price_<?=$getorder['product_id']?>">
<?php } ?>
Change field name in every iteration.
In current scenario either you need three different buttons or the best solution to use AJAX request .
update
On update_qty.php u can use like this
<?php echo $_GET['product_id'];?>
I need to delete a record, in this case a categories from my forum, from the database based on its id.
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['signed_in']) && $_SESSION['user_level'] == 1)
{
?>
<td>
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" value="<?= ['cat_id']; ?>">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Remover" />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
mysql_query("DELETE FROM categories where cat_id = 'cat_id'");
}
?>
</td>
<?php
}
?>
i cant get a "good" way to do it... :(
EDIT: This is for a programming lesson not a real forum!!
Your HTML Input Field needs a name so it can be identified by your PHP.
Then, in your Code Block where you attempt to delete the category, you need to acces the category id using the $_POST array.
Another thig you want to do is read up onj the dangers of SQL injections.
If you're just playing around with PHP and MySQL at the moment: Go Ahead. But if you actually want to develop, maybe you should read up on a few other things as well, even if it seems like overkill at first: PHP The Right Way.
Nontheless, try this:
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['signed_in']) && $_SESSION['user_level'] == 1)
{
?>
<td>
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="hid_catid" id="hid_catid" value="<?php echo $cat_id; ?>">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Remover" />
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$query = "DELETE FROM categories where cat_id = '".(int)$_POST['hid_catid']."'";
mysql_query($query);
}
?>
</td>
<?php
}
?>
--> hidden field should have name and id to use

Thanks
Your hidden input field needs a name to be accessable after the post. Also I am not sure if ['cat_id'] is the correcty way to reference this variable. Where does it come from?
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cat_id" value="<?= $cat_id ?>">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Remover" />
</form>
Then your query has to look like this to correctly grab the id from the post.
mysql_query("DELETE FROM categories where cat_id = " . mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['cat_id']));
I have the following code:
$sql = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET name='$name' WHERE email='$email'") or die(mysql_error());
echo "<h4>Your information has been updated</h4><br />";
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
<p>
<label for='name'>Name</label><br /><br />
<input class="input-text required" name="name" type="text" value="<?php echo $row[name]; ?>" />
</p>
<p><input type="submit" name="update" value="Update" /></p>
</form>
After clicking Update, it updates the information in the database, but the <?php echo $row['name']; ?> still shows the old value. Only after refreshing the page does it show the updated information. I could have it refresh the page after updating by echoing meta refresh but I want it to still show the echo saying "Your info has been updated" which doesn't happen if I set it to refresh. Is there any solution?
You will need to requery the database to repopulate $row or explicitly set the $row variable to your values (I would recommend repopulating it, just to be safe).
Or echo $name, instead of $row[name]
A update of the database is not a new select of the data.
You have 2 options:
after the update, do a new select of the data
instead of writing the row back to the form, write the posted value back
I have spent quite some time making a function and the last 15-20 minutes trying to figure this out. I need help!
I am selecting multiple rows from the database and then running them in a while loop.
They are available on a dropdown menu.
<form method="POST" action="adminprocess.php">
<fieldset>
<p>
<label class="left2">League:</label>
<select name="league" class="combo">
<?php
$q = $database->selectAllLeagues();
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
{
$theid = $row['id'];
extract($row);
?>
<option value="<? echo $theid; ?>">
<? echo $format.'_'.$game.'_'.$name.'_Season '.$season;?>
</option>
<?
}
?>
</select>
</p>
<p>
<input type="hidden" name="replaceleague" />
<input type="hidden" name="format" value="<? echo $format; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="game" value="<? echo $game; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<? echo $name; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="season" value="<? echo $season; ?>" />
<input type='submit' class="button" value='Select league' />
</p>
</fieldset>
</form>
$theid seems to be working fine dependning on which row i select on the dropdown menu.
However, I cant get the values below in the hidden inputs to pass through the correct values from the row selected in the dropdown box.
It seems to always pass through the 4 variables from the first row of the database.
So basically, I need it to select the right row and use that data.
What am i doing wrong!!!
Thanks for reading!
Your hidden fields are initialized outside the loop, so they'll use the values that were left over from the last iteration of the while loop. (i.e. the last fetched row)
Why do you actually need the hidden fields in the first place? When you submit the form, the league field will contain the ID of the row selected in the drop-down box. Using the ID, you can fetch the other fields from the database when processing the form.
To directly answer your question about the while loop, it's because the hidden inputs are echoed outside the loop, after which data the last-iterated row from your database is used by PHP to output to those hidden inputs.
But I suggest that instead of using hidden form elements like that, you submit your form with the <option> with the value a user chooses, read the value (as in $_POST['league']), and fetch the row from your database with that ID and use it accordingly. (You may wish to keep the replaceleague hidden input if your application needs it of course.)
It's much easier, plus it ensures the information about the row a user chooses is coming from your database and not tampered with. In fact, for most applications this is the right way to go.
