Translate HTML form request to php array - php

Question

I have a html form with 3 selector:
a. Room -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
b. Adults -> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
c. Childs -> 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
THe php arrays that i need to get looks like:
Example 1 room with 2 adults
$rooms[] = array(array("paxType" => "Adult"), array("paxType" => "Adult"));
Example 2 rooms ( one room is with two adults and the second room si with 2 adults an
one child
$rooms[] = array(array("paxType" => "Adult"), array("paxType" => "Adult"));
$rooms[] = array(array("paxType" => "Adult"), array("paxType" => "Adult"), array("paxType" =>"Child", "age" => 8));
The variables that i receive from the form are as below:
$City= $_POST['City']; - text
$CheckIN= $_POST['CheckIN']; - text (date)
$CheckOUT= $_POST['CheckOUT']; - text (date)
$Rooms= $_POST['Rooms']; - selector (1,2,3,4,5,6)
$Adults= $_POST['Adults']; - selector (1,2,3,4,5,6)
$Childs= $_POST['Childs']; - selector (0,1,2,3,4,5)
Form is workink fine for text and date input fields.
How can i translate the html form request to get into the a bove look like php arrays.
Thank you for your time.
Entire code is:
// create SOAP client object
$client = new SoapClient("http://www.bookingassist.ro/test/book.wsdl", array('trace' => 1));
try {
function addPaxType($type = null, $amount = 0)
{
$pax = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < amount; $i++)
{
array_push($pax, array('paxType' => $type));
}
return $pax;
}
$RoomsLength = 1;//count($_POST['Rooms']);
$Rooms = array();
//iterate over all rooms
for ($i = 0; $i < $RoomsLength ; $i++)
{
$Rooms[$i] = array();
if ( count($Adults) > 0)
{
//use a function to add adults to room
array_push($Rooms[$i] , addPaxType('Adults', count($Adults)));
}
if (count($Childs) > 0)
{
array_push($Rooms[$i], addPaxType('Childs', count($Childs)));
}
}
$filters = array();
$filters[] = array("filterType" => "hotelStar", "filterValue" => "3", "4", "5");
$filters[] = array("filterType" => "resultLimit", "filterValue" => "7");
// make getAvailableHotel request (start search)
$checkAvailability = $client->getAvailableHotel("gfdgdfgVNhTzA4MVZ3Y2hjTkt3QXNHSXZRYUZOb095Qg==", "RHMK", "2015-03-30", "2015-04-12", "EUR", "RO", "false", $rooms, $filters);
}
catch (SoapFault $exception) {
echo $exception->getMessage();
exit;
}

Answer 1

You can get an array setting in the name input method on the html form post
<br />Room: <input type="text" **name="somearray[]"** required/></br>
After that you can do some like this
$room=$_POST['somearray'];
forgive my bad English!

Answer 2

You need a for lus for this. Based upon the data on this page. I cannot define in which rooms the children and adults are and the age of the children based upon the supplied data. I can however show you an attempt to make such an array.
function addPaxType($type = null, $amount = 0)
{
$pax = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < amount; $i++)
{
array_push($pax, array('paxType' => $type));
}
return $pax;
}
$RoomsLength = count($_POST['Rooms']);
$Rooms = array();
//iterate over all rooms
for ($i = 0; $i < $RoomsLength ; $i++)
{
$Rooms[$i] = array();
if ( count($Adults) > 0)
{
//use a function to add adults to room
array_push($Rooms[$i] , addPaxType('adult', count($Adults)));
}
if (count($Childs) > 0)
{
array_push($Rooms[$i], addPaxType('child', count($Childs)));
}
}
When two rooms are selected and two adults this will output:
$Rooms[0] --> [ [paxType => adult], [paxType => adult] ];
$Rooms[1] --> [ [paxType => adult], [paxType => adult] ];
