PHP conditionals for $message in mail - php

I know there is a simpler way to do this. What I'm trying to do is group fields by number and use isset to test if $_POST['item#'] value is empty. If that item# is not empty, I want to send corresponding color, quantity, and price. If there is more than one item submitted, I want to send multiples.
Here are my post variables:
$item1 = $_POST['item1'];
$color1 = $_POST['color1'];
$quantity1 = $_POST['quantity1'];
$price1 = $_POST['price1'];
$item2 = $_POST['item2'];
$color2 = $_POST['color2'];
$quantity2 = $_POST['quantity2'];
$price2 = $_POST['price2'];
$item3 = $_POST['item3'];
$color3 = $_POST['color3'];
$quantity3 = $_POST['quantity3'];
$price3 = $_POST['price3'];
$item4 = $_POST['item4'];
$color4 = $_POST['color4'];
$quantity4 = $_POST['quantity4'];
$price4 = $_POST['price4'];
$item5 = $_POST['item5'];
$color5 = $_POST['color5'];
$quantity5 = $_POST['quantity5'];
$price5 = $_POST['price5'];
$item6 = $_POST['item6'];
$color6 = $_POST['color6'];
$quantity6 = $_POST['quantity6'];
$price6 = $_POST['price6'];
$item7 = $_POST['item7'];
$color7 = $_POST['color7'];
$quantity7 = $_POST['quantity7'];
$price7 = $_POST['price7'];
$item8 = $_POST['item8'];
$color8 = $_POST['color8'];
$quantity8 = $_POST['quantity8'];
$price8 = $_POST['price8'];
I'm using isset to test if $_POST[] values are empty:
if( isset($_POST['item1']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item1." \nColor: ".$color1." \nQuantity: ".$quantity1." \nPrice: ".$price1;
}
if( isset($_POST['item2']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item2." \nColor: ".$color2." \nQuantity: ".$quantity2." \nPrice: ".$price2;
}
if( isset($_POST['item3']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item3." \nColor: ".$color3." \nQuantity: ".$quantity3." \nPrice: ".$price3;
}
if( isset($_POST['item4']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item4." \nColor: ".$color4." \nQuantity: ".$quantity4." \nPrice: ".$price4;
}
if( isset($_POST['item5']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item5." \nColor: ".$color5." \nQuantity: ".$quantity5." \nPrice: ".$price5;
}
if( isset($_POST['item6']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item6." \nColor: ".$color6." \nQuantity: ".$quantity6." \nPrice: ".$price6;
}
if( isset($_POST['item7']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item7." \nColor: ".$color6." \nQuantity: ".$quantity7." \nPrice: ".$price7;
}
if( isset($_POST['item7']) )
{
$message = 'Item: '.$item8." \nColor: ".$color7." \nQuantity: ".$quantity8." \nPrice: ".$price8;
}

$items = $_POST['item'];
for ($i = 0; $i < count($items); $i++) {
if ($items[$i])){ //not necessarily the best way to check if it has a value
//do what you want with $items[$i], $color[$i], $quantity[$i], and $price[$]
}
}
For your HTML form inputs use:
<input type="text" name="item[]" />

Here is the requested HTML. I'm just learning so I'm sure there is a more efficient way to name inputs. I'm trying to group item-color-quantity-price, so that when the form is emailed, the relevant data is in a paragraph or table for each item.
<td align="center"><p><span>Item Name</span><br><input id="item1" type="text" name="item1"></p></td>
<td align="center"><p><span>Color</span><br><input id="color1" type="text" name="color1"></td>
<td align="center"><p><span>Quantity</span><br><input id="quantity1" type="text" name="quantity1"></td>
<td align="center"><p><span>Wholesale Price</span><br><input id="price1" type="text" name="price1"></td>

I converted all my input names to arrays and I have working loop. However, I need to format the foreach to produce an HTML email with table. It was working perfectly when echo-ing the data but once I formatted it to send as $message, it only sends the last $item.
Here is the foreach loop that works perfectly:
foreach ( $_POST['item'] as $items) {
{
echo '<table>';
echo '<tr>';
echo ' <td>', $items['name'], '</td>';
echo ' <td>', $items['color'], '</td>';
echo ' <td>', $items['size'], '</td>';
echo ' <td>', $items['quantity'], '</td>';
echo ' <td>', $items['price'], '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
}
HTMl email using the PHP mail function:
foreach ( $_POST['item'] as $items) {
$message = "
<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Color</th>
<th>Size</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>" . $items['name'] . "</td>
<td>" . $items['color'] . "</td>
<td>" . $items['size'] . "</td>
<td>" . $items['quantity'] . "</td>
<td>" . $items['price'] . "</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
";
}

This is another issue on my modifying entries. I'm not quite sure if I can simply copy and paste my delete code for my edit code, but here is some rough gauge of my table. Unlike the delete function, by selecting the edit function, it directs the user to the form page and it requires them to fill in the updated data.
Errors
Missing closing tag (?>) on here <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?" method="post">
$queryStr = "SELECT * " ."FROM crewlist"; should be $queryStr = "SELECT * FROM crewlist"
No closing tag comes for <br> on here echo "<tr>.<th>" . $row["crew_name"] . "<br></br>" . "</th>";
You don't know how many data passing for this $result = mysqli_query($con, $queryStr);, because there is no row count validation
There is no use of check this inside while loop. if (!mysqli_connect_errno($con))
If you are just updating the fields then you've placed the update query in the wrong place
Replace editcrew.php and handlecrewedit.php file code with below code.
editcrew.php

I think the suggested answers miss a small point.
It only updates the first row because you exit the while loop with the redirection header.
header('Location: crewlisting.php');
mysqli_close($con);
Place those two lines outside your while loop, and it should update each row.
Your while loop will than be:
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
// not needed. if (!mysqli_connect_errno($con)) {
$sqlQueryStr = "UPDATE crewlist SET crew_name = '$CrewName', crew_rank = '$CrewRank', start_date = '$StartDate' "
. ", end_date = '$EndDate', payroll_no = '$PayrollNo'"
. ", employee_no = '$EmployeeNo', watchkeeping = '$WatchKeeping', active = '$Active' WHERE crew_id = " . $row['crew_id'] . "";
//} closing bracket of if, but the if is not needed.
mysqli_query($con, $sqlQueryStr);
}
//after updating all rows, redirect
header('Location: crewlisting.php');
mysqli_close($con);

Array to string conversion notice when using PHP to email dynamic data from html form.

I have built an HTML form that has buttons to add rows for multiple inputs. I want to email all the rows with the input data no matter how many rows are added. So far I get the email but its only 1 row of data and all the input fields are saying "Array" and I receive the notice of "Array to string conversion on line 34" & "Array to string conversion on line 41"
Is this even possible?

Well, I guess here foreach($_POST as $key => $value) you want to iterate through all of the HTML table rows. But the thing is that you have on server exactly what you've specified on client.
Try print_r($_POST), so you'll have an idea of the data that comes to server. You should iterate through a random key of yours or rewrite the client code to get the php script in accordance.
Code on line 31 and 41 are arrays, you should iterate in for loop to show them in html, that is why you get array notice.why are your input field name atribute set as array []?

Form Select List to show Product Names from Mysql Database

I dont get what im doing wrong here..
i have about 125 product in the table but i get only the last product from the table so it shows only one item... this is a simple calculator to provide the sales person and the customer how much box they would need and how much it would cost a quick estimate.
Thank you for the help in advance..

Your loop doesn't append to $TileNameList because it exists outside of it. It actually replaces it's value. Try:
<?php
include('admincik/config.php');
include ('birlikte/ac.thumbs.php');
//Retrieves data from MySQL
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Calculator ORDER BY isim") or die(mysql_error());
//Puts it into an array

$resim = $info['resim'];
$isim = $info[isim];
$boyut = $info[boyut];
$pcs = $info[adet];
$sqft = $info[sqft];
$price = $info[price];
$TileNameList .= "<option value=\"$sqft\">$isim $boyut</option>"; // NOTE THE .=
}
/////////Formdan gelen yada Giden//////////////

$equals = $length * $width;
$box = round($equals / $sqft);
$sqftbox = $box * $sqft;

How to keep input in fields after form submitted for further update

I wonder is it possible to keep the user input inside form field after form submitted, so that the user can update the entry. I've a html registration form [with some JS validation], then a php file to insert data to sql & meanwhile display back the inserted data in a table view. i also include the form's html code in php file so i can see the form after being submitted. but i couldn't keep the data in the field after form submitted! here is the form:

I've tried to add like value="<? echo "$row['staffid']"?>" in the form's field at php file but no luck! I've only basic in php. So, any help? thank you!
thanks all, its finally working :) i've used value="<?php echo isset($_POST['myField']) ? $_POST['myField'] : 'myField_db' ?>" inside the input tag. so, its like: <input type="text" name="myField" value="<?php echo isset($_POST['myField']) ? $_POST['myField'] : 'myField_db' ?>" /> where myField is input name & myField_db is the column name from database.
Take the form posted values just above your html code like this
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"]) && $_POST["submit"]=='Submit') {
$name=$_POST["name"];
}
?>
And echo it in your html form.
<input name="name" type="text" id="name" size="45" value="<? echo $name?>"/>
I've used this function a few times; quite handy
function getPost($field){
return (isset($_POST[$field]) && $_POST[$field] != "" ? $_POST[$field] : "");
}
Usage
<input type="text" name="contact" value="<?php echo getPost("contact"); ?>" />
This is for the cases where a user submits information and is for some reason sent back to the form again - perhaps their entries didn't pass PHP validation, for example.

Why the mysql update query in php not working?

Please help me regarding the problem specified in the title.
Input form page code:
<?
db_connect();
$query1 = "SELECT *, DATE_FORMAT(eventdate,'%m/%d/%y') AS
eventdate,DATE_FORMAT(throughdate,'%m/%d/%y') AS throughdate FROM events WHERE id = " . mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['id']);
$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die("Error - query failed " . mysql_error());
if ( mysql_num_rows($result1) == 0 ) {
print "<p>Error - no such event.</p>\n";
return;
}
else {
$qry_event1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1);
}
// default the formaction to the query
if (! isset($_REQUEST['formaction']) ) { $_REQUEST['formaction'] = 'query'; }

What i can see after printing the query is that it is not getting the value of id but all the fields from the form but why?
Keep the Id value in quotes.
"WHERE id = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($id)."'";
