I have one input (type radio) that I want to insert it 2 values, something like that:
<input type="radio" name="name" value1="value1" value2="value2" />
And after draw each value seperated with PHP.
There is a way to do it? (And no.. I dont want to insert input with type="hidden")
Thank you.
Well, not the way I would do it, but you could use a delimiter for your value(s)
<input type="radio" value="Value1|Value2" name="two_values" />
Then, in PHP, just list($value1,$value2) = explode('|', $_POST['two_values']);
EDIT
As #user387302 said, you would obviously be limited to not having any values containing your delimiter, for example value="One|PipedVariable|andAnother" would not work to extract two values of "One|PipedValue" and "andAnother"
Why not do:
<input type="radio" name="name" value="value1#value2" />
and then split on "#" (or any other symbol) server-side?
If I understand your question correctly, can you set the value of your radio to something like "value1-value2" and then in your php just seperate value1 from value2 with explode(). You could use any other seperator other than '-' too.
Edit
based on your exmaple:
<input type="radio" name="name" value="value1-value2"/>
Can't do it.
You need either a hidden input (which you say you don't want) or use value="value1,value2" and then explode in the PHP script.
Use this :
<input type="radio" name="name[]" value1="value1" />
<input type="radio" name="name[]" value1="value2" />
returns array

So, I want to remove the commas from between results.
The reason I want to do this is because later in the process I export to CSV and the commas are making my tables go crazy.
Here is my HTML
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="lunes">Lunes<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="martes">Martes<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="miercoles">Miércoles<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="jueves">Jueves<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="viernes">Viernes<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="sabado">Sábado<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="piden[]" value="domingo">Domingo<br>
Here is my PHP
$piden =json_encode($_POST['piden']);
And my results on the Database looks like this.
The only problem are the commas in between results.
["miercoles","sabado","domingo"]
I could not find any similar questions.
If you want to remove commas then why are you using json_encode()?
After comma removal the strings cannot be decoded anymore. Use a different encoding, for example, join the values using a separator:
$piden = implode('/', $_POST['piden']);
However, even this way you may have issues when the input data contains commas. Most probably you are "encoding" the CSV by hand and fail to properly quote the values that contain the separator (commas f.e).
The PHP function fputcsv() can do all the hard work for you when it comes to export data as CSV.
I have <input type="text" name="info"> with the value like this:
array() {
[name]=> 'Tien'
[sex]=> 'male'
[address]=> 'ABC'
[code]=> '888'
}
I submit this input to another site (Note that the input value is a string), all I want is convert that value from string back to array array("name"=>"Tien", "sex"=>"male", "address"=>"ABC", "code"=>888). Is possible to convert the string back to array. If yes please help me solve this. Thanks and sorry because my bad English
What you're asking for is serialisation, i.e. expressing an arbitrarily complex data structure in the lowest common denominator as text. If you simply choose a serialisation format which can easily be serialised and unserialised, this is trivial. I'd suggest to use either serialize and unserialise or json_encode and json_decode. Whatever format you came up with there is simply not easily unserialisable.
I can't completely understand your question, but from my best guess, use this form data:
<input type="text" name="info[name]" value="Tien" />
<input type="text" name="info[sex]" value="male" />
<input type="text" name="info[address]" value="ABC" />
<input type="text" name="info[code]" value="888" />
The other site can then handle it as an array stored within $_POST['info']
given a form like the following
<form action="/page" method="POST>
<input type="hidden" name="input" value="12" />
<input type="hidden" name="input" value="24" />
</form>
Using Google Chrome 31.x and PHP 5.5, /page now has a $_POST variable for input of 24
This happens because when the $_POST array is created, The value is over written in the array. And the latter value is the value which is preserved.
Most browsers Ive tested this is the case, But Is there any HTTP spec / browser spec which says that form inputs should be sent in the order they are defined ? Or could an update in the future (or an old browser) send these updates in the reverse order for example ? or a random order ?
Edit:
to give more context, It will not be used like the above in all cases. only in a certain case.
The first form element is a SELECT box, But depending on the options chosen, Javascript will be able to change the value, Without changing the Select box value
Regardless of the order in which HTTP sends your two values, PHP can only have one value for $_POST['input'].
To solve this, use array notation:
<form action="/page" method="POST>
<input type="hidden" name="input[]" value="12" />
<input type="hidden" name="input[]" value="24" />
</form>
Now you'll have an array $_POST['input'] with both values.
To answer your question about the spec, see this page:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4
See the bullets for the application/x-www-form-urlencoded default content type.
The control names/values are listed in the order they appear in the document. The name is separated from the value by '=' and name/value pairs are separated from each other by '&'.
To my knoweledge there is no specification as to the order in which a browser should parse the from before submitting.
But I would say that you can pretty much assume that the form fields will be parsed from top to bottom, because the whole dom is parsed like this.
Here is a little bit additional information as to how a form submit is processed/handled.

I have read through many questions and do my searches for hours, but i still cannot find the solution to what i exactly want.
<form method="POST">
<input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="0" />No Preference
<input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="1" />Apple
<input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="2" />Orange
<input type="checkbox" name="fruit" value="3" />Banana
</form>
print_r($_POST);
I already did validation to checkbox value 0 to 1,2,3 so they will inverse and i did it using looping javascript search for the element name. The problem is, i have to use the element name without changing it become array name. (e.g Fruit => Fruit[] ). So i need to use this element name to retrieve all checked information inputted by the customer. I've seen this can be done in ASP, but i could not figure how they do as it's long time ago already.
My question is, could any one figure how to do this without changing the element name into array format (e.g Fruit => Fruit[] ) ? T.T
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you..
As you already figured, when you submit the same name multiple times, the latest one will overwrite former ones. A solution is to set up a hidden field
<input type="hidden" value="" name="foobar_as_array">
and use jQuery or plain JS to concat your values into that field on submit
<form ... onSubmit=$('#foobar_as_array').value(...concatenate them...);">
I changed the validation using this line :
var GenBox = eval("document.forms['SubmitSearchAll']['" + oCheckBox+"[]']");
and it helps me alot. Now it is solved.
Thanks everyone for contributing.
I was going to use jQuery to clone the input field when I click a button to make another field, but I was thinking of doing:
Page One, Page Two, Page Three <- then send that as one $_POST to the server and have it take each page and break on the "," comma then for each insert in to my POSTS table.
Any idea on how I would do that? Would I use explode()? Then inside a foreach() run a query for each item in the field.
So if there were 5 pages typed in separated by commas, it would run five times using the foreach().
for each(){
EXECUTE SQL HERE
}
Does that sound like it would be the best way of going about it?
If you set the name attribute of the input element to the name of an array, e.g. foo[], you'll be able to access it as such when processing the $_POST vars, e.g.
<input name="foo[]" type="text"/>
<input name="foo[]" type="text"/>
becomes two iterations of:
foreach ($_POST['foo'] as $foo) {
// process $foo
}
explode and foreach sound good.
But as Click Upvote indicated: is it for pagination? 'cause then there could be a betetr way to achieve this.
You can do the following:
<input type="text" name="list[]" />
<input type="text" name="list[]" />
<input type="text" name="list[]" />
<input type="text" name="list[]" />
Everytime you need a new input box you can do
$(some_element).append( '<input type="text" name="list[]" />' );
or sth similar with jQuery.
Then you have an array instead of a single value in your PHP $_GET or $_POST variable. So you can use $_POST['list'] in foreach.
I was thinking, I can type in:
Home, Products, About, Contact
Into a input field, then my php can break it apart using the comma and insert each of those page titles in my PAGES table.
Run the SQL within the foreach.
Thoughts?
