Yes/no variable radio option - php

I am trying to make a variable yes/no radio type.
My script is:
while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($vragen))
{
$type = $row1['type'];
if ($type == 'kort')
{
echo '
<tr>
<td width="60%">'
.$row1['vraag'].'
<input type="hidden" name="vragen'.$aantalBranches.'[]" value="'.$row1['vraag'].'"/>
</td>
<td>
<input type="text" name="antwoorden'.$aantalBranches.'[]"/>
</td>
</tr>';
}
elseif ($type == 'lang')
{
echo '
<tr>
<td width="60%">'
.$row1['vraag'].'
<input type="hidden" name="vragen'.$aantalBranches.'[]" value="'.$row1['vraag'].'"/>
</td>
<td><textarea name="antwoorden'.$aantalBranches.'[]" cols="30"rows="5"></textarea><td/>
</tr>';
}
elseif ($type == 'ja,nee')
{
echo'
<tr>
<td width="60%">'
.$row1['vraag'].'
</td>
<td>
<input type="radio" name="optie'.$c.'" value="yes">Yes
<input type="radio" name="optie'.$c.'" value="no">No
</td>';
if ('optie'.$c.'' == 'yes')
{
echo'
<td><input type="hidden" name="vragen'.$aantalBranches.'[]" value="'.$row1['vraag'].'"/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="antwoorden'.$aantalBranches.'[]" value="yes"/></td>
</tr>';
}
else
{
echo'
<td><input type="hidden" name="vragen'.$aantalBranches.'[]" value="'.$row1['vraag'].'"/></td>
<td><input type="text" name="antwoorden'.$aantalBranches.'[]" value="no"/></td>
</tr>';
}
$c++;
}
}
echo '</table>';
$aantalBranches++;
}
The problem is that i want the result stored in 1 variable the $antwoorden [] so the most logic way was a if else for this but for a strange reason it doesn't work any1 can help me ?
It now only shows "no" even if i change it to "yes".
I edited the script and added the other choises of the form long and short fields(textarea/inputfield)
Thanks in advance.

if ('optie'.$c.'' == 'yes')
This part will always evaluate to false.
You probably don't know how this variable is going to be named because name depends on value from variable $c and this is what is giving you difficulties.
To overcome this you could just pull all of the variables that start with 'optie' string and then cycle through them when you want to use them. You can also access this variable like this.
$optionname = 'optie'.$c;
$optionvalue = $$optionname;
// or
$optionvalue = $_POST[$optionname];
But generally speaking looking at your code it is very badly structured and I would consider restructuring that code. But without more context I can't give you more instructions on how to do this.
Update:
Just change mentioned condition to:
if ($_POST['optie'.$c] === 'yes')
Or change $_POST to $_GET if you are using 'GET' http request to pass 'optie' variables.

It always shows no because this can never evalulate to true:
if ('optie'.$c.'' == 'yes')
A string that contains optie will never match yes. So the else block is always entered that outputs the no value.

php check text input length and change another input based on length

I have an php form utilizing several inputs that is driving a kiosk page. If a text input is blank I want this update a separate input with the word "hidden" If there is text I would like the word "visible" to show. Currently my code works if you click submit twice but will not work on the first submit. Here is my current code:
The if function that is current working on second submit:
if (strlen($something)>0) {
$_POST['someone'] = "visible";
} else {
$_POST['someone'] = "hidden";
}
input form:
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<table>
<tr>
<td>something : </td>
<td><input type="text" id="something" name="something" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($something); ?>"/></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>someone:</td>
<td><input type="text" id="someone" name="someone" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($someone); ?>"/></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><input type="submit" name='submit' value="Submit"/></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
Here is the update code:
$usql = "UPDATE test SET something= '".$_POST['something']."', someone= '". $someone ."' WHERE ID='a';";
Currently the "someone" input has a display of none so it cannot be seen by the user. This is not necessary but if someone could tell me how to bypass adding an input altogether and tweak the update statement itself to update something that would be great as well! Thanks!
Any help would be appreciated!
Using session variables can save the page state, even after reload.
First page save:
session_start();
$_SESSION['someone'] = $_POST['someone'];
Then:
if(isset($_SESSION['someone']))
{
if (strlen($_SESSION['someone'])>0) {
$_POST['someone'] = "visible";
} else {
$_POST['someone'] = "hidden";
}
}

You didn't explicitly set the form action to POST. As a result your form values willbe sent via GET.
Change:
<form>
to
<form method="POST">
Or look for for your value in the $_GET superglobal.
if (isset($_GET['accept']))
You also have a form embedded within a second form. Removing the outer form would also solve your problem.
Check for $_REQUEST['accept']. This combines $_GET, $_POST and $_COOKIE. It will contain the form value regardless of submission method.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.request.php
I also have to mention, that it's not a good idea to use submit button value to send parameter. What if you need to write "Accept" instead of "accept" on your button?
if ($_POST['accept']=='accept') will fail for such button. Better practice is to use hidden field with name="accept" (<input type="hidden" name="accept" value="any_value" />) and let submit button to do what it has to do - to submit form.
Also it makes your form reusable

Retrieve POST checkbox data from form if they exist

Hello knowledgeable people. I am having trouble retrieving checkbox data from form. I have a site in which user can add checkboxes themselves, so I am writing them out like this:
<table style="padding:10px;">
<?php
$query_boolean = $DB->prepare("SELECT * FROM moduls WHERE type='boolean'") or die(mysql_error());
$query_boolean->execute();
while (($row = $query_boolean->fetch()) != false)
{
?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo $row->name ?>:
</td>
<td>
<?php
$s = "";
$s .= sprintf('<input type="checkbox" class="textbox" name="boolean_%s" value="yes">%s', $row->id, Yes);
$s .= sprintf('<input type="checkbox" class="textbox" name="boolean_%s" value="no">%s', $row->id, No);
echo $s;
?>
</td>
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
</table>
Now I have an advanced search in which I have to chech through every checkbox to see what has been selected (ether none, Yes, No, or both). How can I get the info from every checkbox in variables? Thank you so much!
To get POST data from checkboxes they must have attribute
checked="checked"
EDIT:
If you have 2 checkbox as this..
<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" class="textbox" name="boolean_yes" value="yes">
<input type="checkbox" class="textbox" name="boolean_no" value="no">
When you submit your form the checkbox with attribute checked will be sent as POST and the one without checked attribute will not be sent..
if(isset($_POST['search'])) {
$all_checked = array();
foreach($_POST as $key=>$value){
if(strpos($key, "boolean_") > -1){
$all_checked[$key] = $value;
}
}
var_dump($all_checked);
}
This way you will get inside $all_checked array all marked boxes.. All others checboxes are not marked!
if you want to get checkbox value then use checkbox name as array
<input type="checkbox" name="email1[]" value="">
an get it on another page by
<?php
$var2 = $_POST['email1'];
$v=implode(",",$var2);
echo $v;
?>
try it

Looping through an array of checkbox

I have a form with rows which are populated from a table. Each row has a "checkbox" which the user can check or not.
When the form is submitted I want to be able to read which checkbox have been selected and insert the result in to a data table.
My code so far
FORM:
<form method="post" name="form1" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>">
<table
<?php do { ?>
<tr>
<td>input type="text" name="InspectRoomNo" value="<?php print $row_InspectItems['AuditItemNo']; ?>"></td>
<td>php echo $row_InspectItems['AuditItem']; ?>td>
<td>input name="check[]" type="checkbox" ></td>
</tr>
<?php } while ($row_InspectItems = mysql_fetch_assoc($InspectItems)); ?>
<input type="submit" value="Insert record">
</table>
The insert: fetchs $Items from table
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($Items))
{
$array[] = $row['AuditItem'];
}
foreach($array as $id) {
$AuditItemID = mysql_real_escape_string($id);
if(isset($_POST['check'])){
$Checked = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['check'][$row]);
}
}
The problem I am having is the returned values for all the checkbox is true, even if a checkbox was not selected.
Can anyone help me sort this issue.
Many thanks.
Do it like this:
if(!empty($_POST['check'])) {
foreach($_POST['check'] as $check) {
echo $check;
}
}
You should put the item id inside the checkbox name:
<td><input name="check[<?= $row_InspectItems['AuditItem']; ?>]" type="checkbox" /></td>
Then, you can simply iterate over it:
foreach ($_POST['check'] as $id => $value) {
// do stuff with your database
}
I'm assuming than whomever runs this script is trusted, because it would be easy to forge the list of ids; make sure the current user has permissions to update those records.
What is happening, is that only selected checkboxes get sent to the server, so you will see that your $_POST['check'] array (this is an array!) is smaller than the number of items you have displayed on the screen.
You should add your ID's so that you know what checkboxes got checked and adapt your php processing code to handle an array instead of a single value.
You are also overwriting your InspectRoomNo every row, so you should use an array there as well.
The form side would look something like:
<td><input type="text" name="InspectRoomNo[<?php echo row_InspectItems['AuditItemNo']; ?>]" value="<?php print row_InspectItems['AuditItemNo']; ?>"></td>
<td><?php echo $row_InspectItems['AuditItem']; ?></td>
<td><input name="check[<?php echo row_InspectItems['AuditItemNo']; ?>]" type="checkbox" ></td>

How to submit multiple array checkbox with html forms

I am trying to submit multiple arrays with a checkbox form but I am only able to submit one array at the moment, here is what I have so far
In this example I am submitting an array of numbers with the delete[] array, this array gets processed properly, I also want to submit the array condition[] this does not get processed properly, what is the best way to solve this issue?
php code
$catalog = $database->getInventory();
if($catalog){
$numRows = sizeof($catalog);//count
echo "<b>Book Count:</b> ".$numRows."<br>";
echo "<form method='post' action='inventory.php'>";
echo "<table id='example' class='tablesorter' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='1'>";
echo "
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ISBN</th>
<th>Title </th>
<th>Rank </th>
<th>Condition </th>
<th><input type='checkbox' name='delete' value='all' /></th>
</tr>
</thead>\n";
foreach($catalog as $elem){
echo "
<tr>
<td>".$elem["isbn"]."</td>
<td>".$elem["title"]."</td>
<td>".$elem["rank"]."</td>
<td>".$elem["condition"]."</td>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]'
value='".$elem['isbn']."_".$elem['condition']."_"."' />
</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</form>";
}
example html markup
<form method='post' action='inventory.php'>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='hidden' name='addInventoryBook' value='1'>
<input type='submit' value='Add' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]' value='100001_used' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]' value='100001_new' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]' value='100003_new' />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
php function
function Inventory(){
if(isset($_POST['addInventoryBook'])){
if(isset($_POST['add']) && is_array($_POST['add'])){
$arr = array();
foreach($_POST['add'] as $checkbox){
$temp = explode("_", $checkbox);
$arr[] = array(
"isbn" => $temp[0],
"condition" => $temp[1],
"sub_condition" => $temp[2]
);
}
$this->addInventoryBook($arr);
}
else{
echo "No values have been set";
}
}
function addInventoryBook($arr){
foreach($arr as $elem){
//if used get sub-category
if($elem['condition']=='used'){
echo $elem['isbn']."-".ucfirst($elem['condition'])
.ucfirst($elem['sub_condition'])."<br>";
}
else if($elem['condition']=='new'){
echo $elem['isbn']."-".ucfirst($elem['condition'])."<br>";
}
}
}
All I want is to basically be able to pass two arrays to my php script
current output
100001
100002
100003
desired output
100001 good
100002 new
100003 new
The problem that you are having, I suspect, is that only the checkboxes that are checked will be passed back to the server, whereas all the hidden fields will always be passed so the lengths of the arrays will differ and the keys wont correspond.
The solution to this is actually relatively simple - you just need to specify the keys for the condition array so you can match the values up again. Something like this:
HTML:
<tr>
<td>
<input type='hidden' name='condition[100001]' value='good' />
<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='100001' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='hidden' name='condition[100002]' value='new' />
<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='100002' />
</td>
</tr>
PHP:
foreach ($_POST['delete'] as $delete) {
$condition = $_POST['condition'][$delete];
// Do stuff
}
This ties the values in the $_POST['condition'] array back up with the $_POST['delete'] array so everything will match up again.
EDIT
The way the keys are being created above is not great and in retrospect it is the wrong way to do it.
To demonstrate the right way to do it, let's imagine we have the following array, nice and simple:
$books = array(
10001 => 'good',
10002 => 'new',
10003 => 'new',
10004 => 'good'
);
What we need to do is tie up the two inputs that are associated with each book, which means we need a set of key/value pairs that can be matched up. That sounds like an array to me. But unlike the example above, the keys should be irrelevant to the data - they don't need to mean anything, because all we want is the data.
What we need to do is specify every single key explicitly (no stack-style array pushes) and make the keys agnostic of the data they relate to.
We can do this:
$i = 0;
foreach ($books as $isbn => $condition) {
echo "
<tr>
<td>
<input type='hidden' name='condition[$i]' value='$condition' />
<input type='checkbox' name='delete[$i]' value='$isbn' />
</td>
</tr>
";
$i++;
}
...and then, when the form is submitted, we can do this:
// We still base our code on $_POST['delete'] - because this is the array that
// depends on the user input. This time, though, we'll look at the keys as well
foreach ($_POST['delete'] as $key => $isbn) {
$condition = $_POST['condition'][$key];
// Do stuff
}
I'm a little confused about what you are asking, but I think I can simplify this for you. I don't know how you are generating the values for the hidden fields, are they hard coded? Regardless, this system would work much better if it were simplified.
Try this out....
This will combine the info for the numbers and condition, then it will split them on the backend for handling. This way the information is passed at the same time.
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='100001-good' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='100002-new' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='delete[]' value='100003-new' />
</td>
</tr>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['deleteInventoryBook'])){
if(isset($_POST['delete']) && is_array($_POST['delete'])){
foreach($_POST['delete'] as $checkbox){
$checkbox = explode('-', $checkbox);
echo $checkbox[1];
echo '<br />';
echo $checkbox[0];
echo '<br />';
}
}else{
echo "No values have been set";
}
}
?>
Again, I don't know if this is helpful or not because I was a little misunderstood about what exactly you were trying to achieve, but I hope it was helpful.
You're going to have to find a creative way to pass multiple hidden fields as an array to the PHP handler, or change how that data is collected. A "serialized" array seems to be the best bet.
This StackOverflow answer really outlines what you can do, and should still match your script's behavior. Good luck!
