I have a form that I have created for internal use. I have been able to populate the MySQL database with the data from the form. I have also created a search function that will pull the data back into the fields based on an ID key (in this case a number). All of the text fields come back into the fields, but the Text Area data does not. I go to the MySQL database, and the table fields for those Text Areas are filled in, but they don't seem to pull back into the form. Please help me if you can. Thank you.

I want to update the subject and other fields by adding multiple subjects, but the issue is it only saves one of subject which I have checked.
How can I solve this issue ?
Below is my code :
<?php
$status = "";
if(isset($_POST['new']) && $_POST['new']==1)
{
$host="localhost";//host name
$username="root"; //database username
$word="";//database word
$db_name="tuichk";//database name
$tbl_name="data"; //table name
$con=mysqli_connect("$host", "$username", "$word","$db_name")or die("cannot connect");//connection string
$id=$_REQUEST['id'];
$name =$_REQUEST['name'];
$stu_ic = $_REQUEST['stu_ic'];
$address = $_REQUEST['address'];
$contact = $_REQUEST['contact'];
$checkbox1=$_REQUEST['subject'];
$chk="";
$update="update data set name='".$name."', stu_ic='".$stu_ic."', address='".$address."', contact='".$contact."', sub='".$checkbox1."' where id='".$id."'";
mysql_query($update) or die(mysql_error());
$status = "Record Updated Successfully. </br></br><a href='view.php'>View Updated Record</a>";
echo '<p style="color:#FF0000;">'.$status.'</p>';

HTML input should be
<input type="checkbox" name="subject[]" value="Subject1">
<input type="checkbox" name="subject[]" value="Subject2">
In PHP have many options.
Option 1:
save subjects as string
$subjects = implode(',', $_POST['subject']);
retrieve as string and convert to array
$subjects = explode(',', $field);
Option 2: can save as JSON and retrieve as JSON and decode it.

In the above table array values are insert into single row, PRODUCT NAME are separated with comma(,) same as QTY, RATE and TOTAL, can you suggest me.
Table structure:
S.NO Product Name Qty Rate ($) Total ($)
1. flowers 5 5 35
2. jasmine 6 5 30
3. rose 10 8 80
4. marigold 15 9 135
6.
This is example one , i tried this code work fine.
<?php
include 'connection/db_connection.php';
if(isset($_REQUEST['save'])) {
$product_name = implode(",", $_REQUEST["product"]);
print $product_name;
}
$query="insert into product (product_name) values('".$product_name."')";
$sql=mysql_query($query);
if($sql)
echo "success";

I had tried to insert bulk data with same name field contains multiple rows. But only single row is inserted.
How to insert bulk data as different values to insert into the database.
INSERT INTO table_name (username, luck_number, test, tester) VALUES (('$username', '$luck_number', '$test', '$tester').
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
#nisha,In your scenario only single row is inserted because variables are same name so it's overridden, Please try below code, It will give you array of fields so you can easily create for-loop & do multiple insert with your query.
<form method="post" name="userdata">
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username[]" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester[]" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username[]" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester[]" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username[]" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big[]" value="" />

<td>

**Note:**you can worry about the security issue letter. read the answer with the comment.
Store them in array by adding [ ] this in your input field
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<form action="" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>"/>
<td><input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="big[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="test[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="tester[]" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>"/>
<td><input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="big[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="test[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="tester[]" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>"/>
<td><input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="big[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="test[]" value=""/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="tester[]" value=""/></td>
</tr>
<tr></td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/><tr></td>
</form>
<?php
//connect with your database
for($i=0;$i<count($_POST['luck_number']);$i++)
{
//set the value for variable
$luck_number=$_POST['luck_number'][$i];
$test=$_POST['test'][$i];
$tester=$_POST['tester'][$i];
//run your query
//INSERT INTO table_name (username, luck_number, test, tester) VALUES (('$username', '$luck_number', '$test', '$tester').
}
First of all change all field names by adding [] at the end.
Second step, to parsing all values you may use something like this
for($i=0; $i < $count($_GET['username']); $i++)
{
$username = $_GET['username'][$i];
$luck_number= $_GET['luck_number'][$i];
$big= $_GET['big'][$i];
$test= $_GET['test'][$i];
$tester= $_GET['tester'][$i];
// insert into database
}
The reason of inserting single row instead of multiple rows is your input field name. You are using same name in different input field so when the server gets the reply it replace the duplicate name and the last occurrence is outputted.
The thing you have to do is to use array. If you use known number of rows then you can simply use a for loop to insert data.
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username[]" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester[]" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username[]" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester[]" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<input type="hidden" name="username[]" value="<?php echo $login_session; ?>" />
<td>
<input type="text" name="luck_number[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="big[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="test[]" value="" />
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="tester[]" value="" />
</td>
</tr>
<?php
for ($i=0; $i<count($_POST['username']); $i++)
{
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table_name (`username`, `luck_number`, `test`, `tester`) VALUES (('".$_POST['username'][$i]."', '".$_POST['luck_number'][$i]."', '".$_POST['test'][$i]."', '".$_POST['tester'][$i]."')");
}
?>
Note: Sanitizing variable is always been a good practice and strongly recommended.
I keep getting errors while trying to validate this code.
Error message examples:
e.g. 1 - Line 152, Column 42: Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values …>
<input type="text" name="Name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($Name); ?>"…
e.g. 2 - Line 152, Column 42: attributes construct error …>
<input type="text" name="Name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($Name); ?>"…
e.g. 3 - Line 152, Column 42: Couldn't find end of Start Tag input line 152 …>
<input type="text" name="Name" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($Name); ?>"…
The same errors occur for any lines that contains the line e.g < php echo htmlspecialchars($...)
Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Run the PHP and validate the HTML output. Don't try to validate PHP as if it was HTML.
I've created a form which works fine, but when I put it in a table it always thinks the form is incomplete - is there a way I can put it in a table (so it looks nice!) without this problem?
