[SOLVED] Data From Form To Database Input Problems
I recieved help yesterday with this problem, and thought i had solved the issue but i quickly realised i was wrong.
I have a php webpage & mysql database, and a fully working install of Php\Appache\Mysql set up via localhost.
In my Php file a have a form with text fileds and list menus, that i need to recieve data & transfer the data into my sql database.
Problem 1) The data is not transferring through no matter how i create the records!
Problem 2) A Few of my list menus are not showing up in browser view!
Problem 3) When i insert a submit button it dows not show up in browser view!
My form is split inbetween to columns of a dreamweave table, could this be causing the button problem?
Below is my code:
- PHP: Select all
<?php
require_once('Connections/conndb.php');
mysql_select_db($database_conndb, $conndb) or die("oh no oh no, the database could't be selected! It's all going wrong");
// Okay, your submit button is named "button" so we check that this has been clicked, if it has we can start the form processing
if (!empty($_POST['button'])) // !empty is a double check, checking for existence AND a value other than false, NULL, 0 or ""
{
// I am unsure about your magic quotes setting so I'll use this to strip slashes and escape correctly
$needStrip = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
// Okay, let's assume that all form values are going into the same mySQL table
// Create an array of the form fields -- using the form code you have below, it looks like this
$fields = array();
// The array key is the name of the form element
$fields['name'] = array('type' => 's', // The type of value - we'll use s for string or n for number (hard for a form to be anything else)
'required' => true, // Is the field *required*, we will stop the script if it's not set if this is true
'column' => 'signame' // The mysql data column where the value will go
);
$fields['sex'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigsexmalefemale'
);
$fields['username'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigusername'
);
$fields['password'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigpassword'
);
$fields['hobbies'] = array('type' => 'n',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'd'
);
$fields['email'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigemail'
);
$fields['turnon'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigwhatturnsmeon'
);
$fields['looklike'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigwhatlooklike'
);
$fields['iam'] = array('type' => 'n',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigiam'
);
$fields['interestedin'] = array('type' => 'n',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'siginterested'
);
$fields['sexsubject'] = array('type' => 'n',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigfor'
);
$fields['area'] = array('type' => 's',
'required' => true,
'column' => 'sigarea'
);
// Etc.. and so on with the field names (excluding the submit of course)
//Now, we will loop through each of the fields as listed above ^ and create the database query
// To keep track of errors, we will have an error array
$errors = array();
// The query bits which will be built on below
$cols = '';
$vals = '';
foreach ($fields as $field => $dets) // $field will hold the field name and $dets an array of the details
{
// remove preceding and trailing white space
$field = trim($field);
// first check, is the value required AND empty?
if ($dets['required'] && empty($_POST[$field])) {
$errors[] = $field . ' is a required field!'; // Add to the errors
continue; // stop this loop and start with the next
}
// next check, data type (only check numbers as all post variables are strings
if ($dets['type'] == 'n' && !is_numeric($_POST[$field])) {
$errors[] = $field . ' should be a number!';
continue;
}
// Don't bother adding this to the query if we have errors already of if there is no value
if (empty($_POST['field']) || count($errors))
continue;
// Now add the SQL for the insert
// Remove slashes if they exist
$_POST[$field] = $needStrip ? stripslashes($_POST[$field]) : $_POST[$field];
// Escape the data for safe SQL insertion
$_POST[$field] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST[$field]);
// Add a comma to separate the values if there is one there already
if (!empty($cols)) {
$cols .= ', ';
$vals .= ', ';
}
$cols .= $dets['column']; // the columns as in INSERT into Table (col1, col2)
$vals .= $dets['type'] == 'n' && is_numeric($_POST[$field]) ? $_POST[$field] : "'{$_POST[$field]}'"; // the values as in VALUES ('this', 'that', 1)
}
if (isset($_POST['select4'])) {
$month = $_POST['select4'];
}
if (isset($_POST['select5'])) {
$day = $_POST['select5'];
}
if (isset($_POST['select6'])) {
$year = $_POST['select6'];
}
$dob = $day."/".$month."/".$year;
$cols .= ', sigage';
$vals .= ", '$dob'";
// Now we have one of two things 1) A list of columns and values 2) errors
if (!count($errors) && !empty($cols) && !empty($vals)) {// No errors? and some values and columns? Continue to add the query
// contruct the query
$query = "INSERT INTO details($cols) VALUES($vals)";
// run the query
mysql_select_db($database_conndb, $conndb);
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
// success?
$message = "Yay, you have been inserted as " . mysql_insert_id(); // The insert ID
$insertGoTo = "profile.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
$insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
} else { // Oh oh! errors
// create an error string
$message = '<strong>The following errors are ruining my feng shui man!</strong>
<ol>';
foreach ($errors as $err) // $err will have the error message from above
$message .= '<li>' . $err . '</li>';
$message .= '</ol>';
}
}
// Now get the info to fill out the form
