Can i use Multiple Array in a foreach loop? - php

Question

I have researched several related question in this forum and google, Kindly assist . I am trying to insert some values into database from several arrays stored in session. I also have some single values stored in some session also which i want to insert into multiple rows of dbase table.
//First, I recall the values stored in sessions from previous pages into the current page as below.
//take note of the comment in front of the sessions and All array contains the same number of values except for the first two sessions.
$ticketid="t".date('dmyHis').mt_rand (1000,9999);
$bettime= date('d/m/y H:i');
$_SESSION['bettime']=$bettime;//Not array, contains single value
$_SESSION['ticketid']=$ticketid;//Not array, Contains single value
$_SESSION['gamecode'];//array
$_SESSION['starttime'];//array
$_SESSION['optioncode']//array
$_SESSION['home'];//array
$_SESSION['away'];//array
$_SESSION['odd'];//array
Here, I connected to dbase. //Works fine.
require('gumodb.php');
Here i try to start a loop using one array session as key
foreach($_SESSION['starttime'] as $ro => $col){
mysql_query("INSERT INTO reg_bet (bettime, ticketid,matchcode,starttime,home,away,optionodd,optioncode) VALUES('$_SESSION[bettime]','$_SESSION[ticketid]','$_SESSION[gamecode]', '$_SESSION[starttime]','$_SESSION[home]','$_SESSION[away]','$_SESSION[odd]','$_SESSION[optioncode]' ) ")
or die(mysql_error());
}
It returns Notice: Array to string conversion in C:\xampp\htdocs\gumo\consel.php on line 61
EDIT QUESTION
I am trying to achieve something like this.
foreach($_SESSION['gamecode'] as $gc => $gcvalue && $_SESSION['starttime'] as $st =>$stvalue && $_SESSION['optioncode'] as $oc => $ocvalue ){
mysql_query("INSERT INTO reg_bet (matchcode,starttime,optioncode) VALUES('$gcvalue','$stvalue','$ocvalue') ")
or die(mysql_error()); }

Answer 1

$x = json_encode($_SESSION);
$query = "INSERT INTO ".$TABLE_NAME data "VALUES ("$x");";
$mysqli->query( $query );
Encode the session array into a single string and insert in to the table on a row of data.
When you fetch the same data use json_decode to convert the string into array.

Answer 2

Assuming the arrays in the $_SESSION variable are numeric, you could try something like this:
for ($i = 0; $i < $max_index_count; $i++) {
$query = "INSERT INTO ".$TABLE_NAME;
$query += "VALUES (".$_SESSION['index'][$i].");";
$mysqli->query( $query );
}
The above is pseudo code, but the problem is you are trying to use an array as a string. The $_SESSION variable is a multidemsional array, therefore, specify two ibdexes.

Answer 3

After so many trials, i was able to get it done with this
$ticketid="t".date('dmyHis').mt_rand (1000,9999);//ticket id generateed
$bettime= date('d/m/y H:i');
$_SESSION['bettime']=$bettime;
$_SESSION['ticketid']=$ticketid;
$_SESSION['gamecode'];
$_SESSION['starttime'];
$_SESSION['optioncode'];
$_SESSION['home'];
$_SESSION['away'];
$_SESSION['odd'];
require('gumodb.php');
foreach ($_SESSION['gamecode'] as $index => $value)
{
$ge = $_SESSION['gamecode'][$index];
$se = $_SESSION['starttime'][$index];
$oe = $_SESSION['optioncode'][$index];
$he = $_SESSION['home'][$index];
$ay = $_SESSION['away'][$index];
$od = $_SESSION['odd'][$index];
This post the arrays and non array into table row and display
mysql_query("INSERT INTO reg_bet (matchcode,ticketid,bettime,starttime,home,away,optionodd,optioncode) VALUES('$ge','$ticketid','$bettime','$se','$he' ,'$ay','$od' ,'$oe' ) ")
or die(mysql_error());
echo $_SESSION['gamecode'][$index] .'-'. $_SESSION['starttime'][$index].'- '. $_SESSION['optioncode'][$index].' -'. $_SESSION['home'][$index].'- '. $_SESSION['away'][$index].'- '. $_SESSION['odd'][$index].$bettime.' -' .$ticketid.'</br>' ;
}
Thanks for your contributions.
