manvaril Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 This is the form that I'm using and it populates just fine but when you make the changes I can't figure out how to get it to update each record in my database. <table width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" border="0"> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] . "?update=1"; ?>" method="post"> <tr> <td><b>Category Name</b></td> <td><b>Category Description</b></td> <td><b>Order</b></td> <td align="right"><input type="submit" value="Update"></td> </tr> <?php read_cat_list($cat); for ($i = 0; $i < $cat["count"]; $i++) { echo "<tr>\n"; echo "<td width=\"30%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"cat_name_" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_id"]) . "\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"250\" value=\"" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_name"]) . "\"></td>\n"; echo "<td width=\"36%\" valign=\"top\"><textarea name=\"cat_desc_" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_id"]) . "\" rows=\"2\" cols=\"30\">" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_desc"]) . "</textarea></td>\n"; echo "<td width=\"10%\" valign=\"top\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"cat_order_" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_id"]) . "\" size=\"3\" maxlength=\"3\" value=\"" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_order"]) . "\"></td>\n"; echo "<td width=\"24%\" valign=\"top\">[ <a href=\"#\" onmouseover=\"window.status = 'Delete " . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_name"]) . "'; return true;\" onmouseout=\"window.status = ''; return true;\" onclick=\"javascript:del_cat(" . $cat[$i]["cat_id"] . ", '" . safe_string($cat[$i]["cat_name"]) . "'); return false;\">Delete</a> ]</td>\n"; echo "</tr>\n"; } ?> <tr> <td colspan="4" align="right"><input type="submit" value="Update"></td> </tr> </form> </table> the safe_string function just cleans up the output/input from the database, This next block is my form processor for this form. <?php function update_cats($vars) { $err = ""; #if ($SESSION["level"] != ADMIN) { # $err = ERR_NOT_ENOUGH_ACCESS; #} else { $temp = array_keys($vars); for ($i = 0; $i < count($temp); $i++) { if (substr($temp[$i], 0, 9) == "cat_name_") { if ($vars[$temp[$i]] == "") { $err = "Category names cannot be blank."; break; } else { $name_query["cat_name"] .= substr($temp[$i], 9) . ", "; } } } for ($i = 0; $i < count($temp); $i++) { if (substr($temp[$i], 0, 9) == "cat_desc_") { $desc_query["cat_desc"] .= substr($temp[$i], 9) . ", "; } } for ($i = 0; $i < count($temp); $i++) { if (substr($temp[$i], 0, 10) == "cat_order_") { if ($vars[$temp[$i]] == "") { $err = "Category orders cannot be blank."; break; } else { $order_query["cat_order"] .= substr($temp[$i], 10) . ", "; } } } #} if (!$err) { if ($name_query["cat_name"]) { $update_name_query = "update category"; $update_name_query .= " set cat_name = '" . $name_query["cat_name"] .

")"; update_db($update_order_query); } } return $err; } ?> update_db is my database caller, if you need any of the functions that I use that are not here please post back and tell me. now when I process the form all my fields change to this: cat_name: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, cat_desc: cat_id: 0 for all the records in the database table, I'm just trying to update each record with the values it needs Here is my database table with the data. CREATE TABLE `category` ( `cat_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `cat_name` varchar(255) NOT NULL, `cat_desc` text NOT NULL, `cat_order` int(11) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`cat_id`) ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=16 ; -- -- Dumping data for table `category` -- INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(1, 'Hand Tossed Pizza', '', 1); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(2, 'Hand Tossed Specialty Pizzas', '', 2); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(3, 'Chicago Style Deep Dish', '', 3); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(4, 'Specialty Chicago Style Deep Dish', '', 4); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(5, 'Chicken Wings & Tenderloins', '', 5); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(6, 'Hot Sides', '', 6); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(7, 'Hot Sandwiches', '', 7); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(8, 'Cold Sandwiches', '', ; INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(9, 'Pastas', '', 9); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(10, 'Fresh Salads', '', 10); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(11, 'Fresh Breads', '', 11); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(12, 'Soups', '', 12); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(13, 'Kids Menu', '', 13); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(14, 'Drinks', '', 14); INSERT INTO `category` (`cat_id`, `cat_name`, `cat_desc`, `cat_order`) VALUES(15, 'Desserts', '', 15); Hope I have provided plenty of info on what I got and what I need for it todo Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
