php script help!

[wazza91]

 

how would i go about the task?

 

Create a php script to

 

- receive the chosen option  from the select box & textbox in the html file & check it is within range and is a number (using  the is_numeric( ) function)

- Assign 7 employee records (Employee Number, Employee Name, Age, Department Name) into a 2 dimensional sequential array (using employee numbers 1 to 7) and your own made up values for the other record details – remember that text values are enclosed within inverted commas whereas numeric values are not:

- See PHP worksheet 3 for how a 2D array is created in a program

- If the chosen select option is to print the whole table

o – then print all 7 records in an html table with a header row

• You will need a for loop to print a record

• You will need to manipulate array values

(You should use a variable for the row number to

  generalise row printing a row using the for loop)

- If the chosen option is to print a selected record, use the record number from the textbox to

o Print that particular record including the header details row

• E.g. for employee number 1 by transposing it to the array row index number

• This row number should be generalised using a variable for the row index number

• Sample record

Bro, it says guidelines all over "You will need a for loop", It gives you a small example on the last 3 lines. It tells you what worksheet to use for how 2d arrays are created.

 

Give it a try, and come back with some code, and then we can help.
