Hello Currently I have a MYSQL DB in which I post form data into. I then USE PHP to echo the data out and see the form info. Recently I added a check box and the values of the check box get stored as an ARRAY. When I go to echo my DB the output I get is
Name,Date,Array,Array
Instead of getting the word ARRAY I would like to get the value of the submission. I know you are supposed to use the implode command but I could not figure out a way to incorporate it into my code. The retrieval code looks like this. With field_10,field_11,field_12 returning just the word ARRAY.

It is not possible to store an PHP array in a MySQL database (because of it's type), but you can convert it to string and store this. Of course, you can convert this string later back to an array. You should change a database field to type LONGTEXT to store an array in it.
To store an array in text form, you can use serialize:
$arr = serialize($arr); // To save it in DB
$arr = unserialize($arr); // To get array after select
Or use JSON (better readable in database):
$arr = json_encode($arr); // To save it in DB
$arr = json_decode($arr); // To get array after select
Hey guys I just wanted to post the complete code encase anybody else is having trouble. I added the serialize function to my form processing part.
<?php
$where_form_is="http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].strrev(strstr(strrev($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']),"/"));
include("config.inc.php");
$link = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass);
if(!$link) die ('Could not connect to database: '.mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($db_name,$link);
$query = "INSERT into `".$db_table."` (field_1,field_2,field_3,field_4,field_5,field_6,field_7,field_8,field_9,field_10,field_11,field_12) VALUES ('" . $_POST['field_1'] . "','" . $_POST['field_2'] . "','" . $_POST['field_3'] . "','" . $_POST['field_4'] . "','" . $_POST['field_5'] . "','" . $_POST['field_6'] . "','" . $_POST['field_7'] . "','" . $_POST['field_8'] . "','" . $_POST['field_9'] . "','" . serialize($_POST['field_10']) . "','" .serialize($_POST['field_11']) . "','" .serialize($_POST['field_12']) . "')";
mysql_query($query);
mysql_close($link);
include("confirms.html");
?>
Strangely when you unserialize it. It just outputs the word array again.

I am trying to make a posting system for a project I am working on. Problem is, for some reason, all $_POST values are null, even if they are supposed to be set. As a result, my PHP script does not work.
I can't tell why this is the case, as it was working fine just yesterday. How can I fix this?

You can try it out for yourself here. All help is appreciated!
$_POST in PHP collects any variables submitted in the body of a HTTP POST request.
However your HTML form is submitting a GET request (which is the default if you don't specify the method). You can fix this by specifying the method attribute of the form:
<form method="post">
$_POST superglobal is only available in POST requests. You seem to be rendering your content in a GET request.
The following code is the code i am using:
<form action="sendinfo.php" method="post" id="form">
-Title:<br>
<input type="text" class="u-full-width" name="title" placeholder="Insert a title" >
<br>-Date<br>
<input class="u-full-width" type="text" name="date" placeholder="Click to add a date"><hr>
<br>-Buildyear:<br>
<input class="u-full-width" type="text" name="buildyear" placeholder="click to add buildyear">
<br>-rebuild<br>
<input id="1" type="radio" name="rebuildyes" value="yes"><label for="1">tes</label>
<input id="2" type="radio" name="rebuildno" value="No"><label for="2">No</label><hr>
<input type="submit" value="send" class="u-full-width">
</form>
The other code is :
<?php
//variables
$title = $_POST['title'];
$date = $_POST['date'];
$buildyear = $_POST['buildyear'];
$rebuildyes = $_POST['rebuildyes'];
$rebuildno = $_POST['rebuildno'];
//in browser
echo "<h1>The inserted data has been locally stored as " . $title . " " . $date . ".txt</h1>";
echo "<p>click <a href='index.html'>Here</a> to return to the previous screen</p>";
//write text file.
$file = fopen($title . " " . $date . ".txt","w");
if ($date) fwrite($file, "Date: " . $date . "\r\n");
fwrite($file, "\r\n");
if ($buildyear) fwrite($file, "Buildyear: " . $buildyear . "\r\n");
if ($rebuildyes) fwrite($file, "Rebuild? " . $rebuildyes . "\r\n");
if ($rebuildno) fwrite($file, "Rebuild? " . $rebuildno . "\r\n");
?>
Result of this code is a generated text file with the data filled in in the form given on the first page. The problem here is that i can't get the radio buttons to work, atleast i can't get the data out of them. When they are empty they should not be written down in the file, when they are selected they should be.
Also, please dont tell me this is a dangerous way of coding PHP since i know it gives users acces to write where ever the PHP has acces to, but this "project" will only be accesable for a small amount of people and won't actually be hosted server wise. That being said if you have a better way for me building this project, not risk wise, just PHP wise, please tell me since i'm just starting coding PHP.
Thanks
<input type="radio" name="rebuild" value="yes"><label>Yes</label>
<input type="radio" name="rebuild" value="No"><label>No</label>
and get the value using
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
echo $rebuild = $_POST['rebuild'];
die;
}
This is the code I tested, the file is written correctly and the value for "rebuild" is also correct :
<form action="sendinfo.php" method="post" id="form">

Make your radio buttons a group :
<input id="1" type="radio" name="rebuild" value="yes"><label for="1">tes</label>
<input id="2" type="radio" name="rebuild" value="no"><label for="2">No</label><hr>
Then, check if the user selected the 'yes' value :
if (isset($_POST['rebuild']) && $_POST['rebuild'] == 'yes') {
// YOUR CODE
}
I want to insert an array of checkboxes, dropdowns, and dates into database. If I checked all the checkbox, all works fine. However, when I checked certain checkboxes, the value of checkboxes can be inserted but not the value of dropdown and date.
This is code for the checkbox, dropdown, and date:
<div class='field'>
<div class='checkboxes'>
<div class='checkbox'>
<input type='checkbox' id='spesimen$i' name='spesimen[]' value='$JenisSpesimen' required minlength='1'/><label>$JenisSpesimen</label><br>
</div>
<div class='select'>
<select id='bilangan$i' name='bilangan[]' class='med' style='display: none;'>
<option></option>
<option value='Pertama'>Pertama</option>
<option value='Kedua'>Kedua</option>
</select>
</div>
<br>
<div class='input' id='tarikh_ambil$i' style='display: none;'>
<input type='text' id='tarikh_ambil_spesimen$i' name='tarikh_ambil_spesimen[]' class='small' readonly/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And this the process:
$spesimen = $_POST['spesimen'];
$countSpesimen = count($_POST['spesimen']);
$bilangan = $_POST['bilangan'];
//$countBilagan = count($_POST['bilangan']);
$tarikh_ambil = $_POST['tarikh_ambil_spesimen'];
//$countTarikh = count($_POST['tarikh_ambil_spesimen']);
for ( $x = 0; $x < $countSpesimen; $x++)
{
$xx = $x+1;
$SubIDMohon = $IDMohonx.'-'.$xx;
$dd=substr($tarikh_ambil[$x], 0, 2);
$mm=substr($tarikh_ambil[$x], 3, 2);
$yy=substr($tarikh_ambil[$x], 6, 4);
$tarikh_ambil[$x] = $yy."-".$mm."-".$dd;
if($tarikh_ambil[$x] == '--') { $tarikh_ambil[$x] = '0000-00-00'; }
$pdo->exec("insert into simka_spesimen(IDMohon,SubIDMohon, Nama, LainLain, TarikhAmbil, TarikhHantar, TarikhMakmalTerima)
values ('".$IDMohonx."','".$SubIDMohon."','".$spesimen[$x]."','".$bilangan[$x]."','".$tarikh_ambil[$x]."','".$tarikh_hantar_spesimen."','".$tarikh_terima_spesimen."')");
}
I would recommend to wrap your fields into an common name, so that you can run a foreach over each 'fieldset' and then access its corresponding fields, instead of having them separate and independent as you have them now.
HTML would be something like this: (Implement the counter as you wish, but be sure to increment it before adding another set)
<div class='field'>
<div class='checkboxes'>
<div class='checkbox'>
<label><input type='checkbox' id='spesimen$i' name='fieldset[$counter][spesimen]' value='$JenisSpesimen' required minlength='1'/>$JenisSpesimen</label>
</div>
<div class='select'>
<select id='bilangan$i' name='fieldset[$counter][bilangan]' class='med' style='display:none;'>
<option></option>
<option value='Pertama'>Pertama</option>
<option value='Kedua'>Kedua</option>
</select>
</div>
<div class='input' id='tarikh_ambil$i' style='display:none;'>
<input type='text' id='tarikh_ambil_spesimen$i' name='fieldset[$counter][tarikh_ambil_spesimen]' class='small' readonly/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
and your PHP code as follows:
foreach($_POST['fieldset'] as $i=>$fields){
$SubIDMohon = $IDMohonx .'-' . ($i + 1) ;
//If specimen is checked, the value comes with post, otherwise set it to default ''
$specimen = ( isset($fields['specimen']) ) ? $fields['specimen'] : '';
//check if the date is valid format
$date = '';
if(preg_match('^([0-9]{2}-){2}[0-9]{4}$', $fields['tarikh_ambil_spesimen'])){
$date = implode('-', array_reverse( explode('-', $fields['tarikh_ambil_spesimen']) ) );
}
else{
$date = '0000-00-00';
}
$pdo->exec(
"insert into simka_spesimen(IDMohon,SubIDMohon, Nama, LainLain, TarikhAmbil, TarikhHantar, TarikhMakmalTerima)
values (
'" . $IDMohonx . "',
'" . $SubIDMohon . "',
'" . $spesimen . "',
'" . $fields['bilangan'] . "',
'" . $date . "',
'" . $tarikh_hantar_spesimen . "',
'" . $tarikh_terima_spesimen . "'
)"
);
}
Try doing a print_r to your $_POST so you can see how it is structured.
Good luck!
I want to show data from a Oracle database into a listbox.
, but I don't no how to do that.
Now I'm using a textbox and that works good.
This is my HTML code
<form name="form1" method="get" action="Get_opdracht.php"
Opdrachtnummer: <br /> <input id="Password1" type="number" name="nummer1" required="required"/>
<input type="submit" name="submit1" value="Zoeken" />
<hr />
</form>
PHP code (get_opdracht.php)
// database connect
$conn = oci_connect('username', 'password', 'connect');
// variable textbox
$username = $_GET['nummer1'];
// SELECT query
$array = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT * FROM OPD_VW, MDW_VW WHERE OPD_OPDRACHTNUMMER = '$username'");
$query = oci_execute($array);
//show data on page
while (($row = oci_fetch_array($array, OCI_BOTH)) != false) {
echo "<h1>Opdrachtnummer: " . $row['OPD_OPDRACHTNUMMER'] . "</h1><p> <b>Status: </b>" . $row['OPD_STATUS'] . "<p><b>Registratiedatum: </b>" . $row['OPD_REGISTRATIEDATUM'] . "<p><b>Einddatum: </b>" . $row['OPD_EINDDATUM'] . "<p><b>BTW tarief: </b>". $row['OPD_BTW_TARIEF'] . "<p><b>Totale contractsom: €</b>" . $row['OPD_TOTALE_CONTRACTSOM'] . "<p><b>Percentage gerealiseerd: </b>" . $row['OPD_PERCENTAGE_GEREALISEERD'] . "%";
oci_free_statement($array);
oci_close($conn);
To create a listbox you need to use the select multiple as shown below.
<select name="myselect" multiple="multiple">
<option value="value">OPTION</option>
<option value="value">OPTION</option>
</select>
I am fairly new to both PHP and MySQL and would appreciate some help with this one.
What I am trying to achieve: store a time sheet into a MySQL table using the form below which should post each day's data into a separate row while keeping the same employee name for each day entered. The user has the option to add additional days to the form -- a max of 7. I've tested everything without the use of arrays and am able to store data to the table without any problems.
HTML:
<form id="timesheet" method="post" action="timekeep.php">
<fieldset>
<h1>Employee Info</h1>
<ul>
<li>
<label>First Name:</label>
<input name="firstname" type="text">
</li>
<li>
<label>Last Name:</label>
<input name="lastname" type="text">
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<h1>Time Info</h1>
<h3>Day: 1</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<input name="date[]" type="text">
</li>
<li>
<input name="straighthours[]" type="number">
</li>
<li>
<input name="overtimehours[]" type="number">
</li>
<li>
<input name="premiumhours[]" type="number">
</li>
<li>
<input name="perdiem[]" type="number">
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Day: 2</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<input name="date[]" type="text">
</li>
<li>
<input name="straighthours[]" type="number">
</li>
<li>
<input name="overtimehours[]" type="number">
</li>
<li>
<input name="premiumhours[]" type="number">
</li>
<li>
<input name="perdiem[]" type="number">
</li>
</ul>
</fieldset>
<input id="submit" name="submit-time" type="submit" value="Submit Time">
</form>
PHP:
$sql_connection = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) OR DIE ("Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.");
mysql_select_db($dbuser, $sql_connection);
$sql = "INSERT INTO table (
Date,
FirstName,
LastName,
StraightHours,
OvertimeHours,
PremiumHours,
TotalHours,
PerDiem
)
VALUES (".
PrepSQL($date) . ", " .
PrepSQL($firstName) . ", " .
PrepSQL($lastName) . ", " .
PrepSQL($straightHours) . ", " .
PrepSQL($overtimeHours) . ", " .
PrepSQL($premiumHours) . ", " .
PrepSQL($totalHours) . ", " .
PrepSQL($perDiem) . "
)";
mysql_query($sql, $sql_connection);
mysql_close($sql_connection);
function PrepSQL($value)
{
if(get_magic_quotes_gpc())
{
$value = stripslashes($value);
}
$value = "'" . mysql_real_escape_string($value) . "'";
return($value);
}
Using PDO object would make this easier, mysql_ is legacy anyway:
$db = new PDO($hostname,$username,$password);
$qry = "INSERT INTO table (
Date,
FirstName,
LastName,
StraightHours,
OvertimeHours,
PremiumHours,
TotalHours,
PerDiem
)
VALUES (:date, :firstname, :lastname, :straighthours, :overtimehours, :premiumhours, :totalhours, :perdiem)"; // colon variables will be bound to actual variable
$statement = $db->prepare($query); //prevents injection
// binds variables to place holder in query
$statement->bindValue(':firstname', $firstname);
$statement->bindValue(':lastname', $lastname);
$statement->bindValue(':straighthours', $straighthours);
$statement->bindValue(':overtimehours', $overtimehours);
$statement->bindValue(':premiumhours', $premiumhours);
$statement->bindValue(':totalhours', $totalhours);
$statement->bindValue(':perdiem', $perdiem);
$statement->execute();
$statement->closeCursor();
you can do further input checking with php before passing anything to the sql via:
trim(strip_tags(htmlentities($firstname)));
PDO is a lot simpler to use and understand IMO
UPDATE:
tutorials on PDO
UPDATE #2:
For added functionality with arrays per day you can do:
<input type="text" name="firstname1">
// do this for all fields then
$workingday1 = array();
$workingday1['firstname'] = $_GET['firstname1'];
// etc. for all the other fields
Then you can access the field by:
$workingday1 = $_GET['workingDay1']; // or post or however you want to pass it
$firstname = $workingday['firstname'];
After that you can prune your database however you like. You can have a single table with all the values and edit your selects to display by employee or day or w/e. You can also have a table for each employee and then grab from those tables and display the data how ever you like.
