saving data from an array without submitting any form php - php

Question

I'm tryng to save an array so I have the following code:
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM scenarii where code_s='".mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['code_s'])."'";
$qry = mysql_query($sql) or die(__LINE__.mysql_error().$sql);
$i = -1; // index des enregistrements
?>
<table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<tr>
<td><strong>CODE SCENARIO</strong></td>
<td><strong>LIBELLE</strong></td>
<td><strong>ACTION</strong></td>
<td><strong>DESCRIPTION</strong></td>
<td><strong>DATE</strong></td>
</tr>
<form action="<?php echo (isset($_POST['go'])) ? 'go.php' : '#'; ?>" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="liasse" value="<?php echo $_POST['liasse']; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="n_doss" value="<?php echo $_POST['n_doss']; ?>"/>
<input type="hidden" name="qualite" value="<?php echo $_POST['qualite']; ?>"/>
<?php while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($qry)): ?>
<tr>
<td><input name="data[<?php echo ++$i; ?>][code_s]" type="text" value="<?php echo $row['code_s'];?>" size="10"></td>
<td><input name="data[<?php echo $i; ?>][titre]" type="text" value="<?php echo $row['titre']; ?>" size="45"></td>
<td><input name="data[<?php echo $i; ?>][action]" type="text" value="<?php echo $row['action']; ?>" size="15"></td>
<td><input name="data[<?php echo $i; ?>][libelle]" type="text" value="<?php echo $row['libelle']; ?>" size="55"></td>
<td><input type="text" name="data[<?php echo $i; ?>][date]" value="<?php echo $get_date($row['jour']) ; ?>" size="12"></td>
</tr>
<?php endwhile; ?>
And in order to save this I have this code:
if (isset($_POST['liasse'])) {
$value = $_POST['data'] ;
foreach($value as $key => $array)
{
$sql = 'INSERT INTO agenda SET
liasse = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['liasse']).'",
code_s = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($array['code_s']).'",
date_action = "'.date('Y-m-d',strtotime($array['date'])).'",
libelle = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($array['titre']).'",
action = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($array['action']).'",
description = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($array['libelle']).'",
n_doss = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['n_doss']).'",
qualite = "'.mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['qualite']).'"
';
mysql_query($sql) or die(__LINE__.mysql_error().$sql);
}
But I'm really lost,
In fact I use a form for that, now I would like to submit all of this data but without any form, directly when I have the first while I would like to save it.
The thing is that I'm lost because I can not call any var like that data[][code_s].
So I do not know how to save this. I would like to save it in background, and not to display that something has been saved.

Wrap the code od the lower code block into a function and hand over the value array as argument:
function storeValues ($data) {
foreach($data as $key => $val)
{
$catalog=sprintf("%s='%s'",$key,$val);
$sql = sprintf('INSERT INTO agenda SET %s', implode(',',$catalog));
mysql_query($sql) or die(__LINE__.mysql_error().$sql);
} // foreach
} // function storeValues
You call this function when you want to save the values. So after retrieving them from the database. You call it for each row you retrieve and hand over the values like that:
storeValues ($row);
This will store one row of values at a time. Obviously this can be optimized to use a multiple insert. But let's take one step after another...
