Hi
I'm just a PHP "hobbiest" trying to build a points calculating system for
another hobby, please bear with me.
I need to build a multidimensional array from a html form,
the array would look like:
$needed_data = array (
array (id = $member_id,
points = $position ),
array ( id = $member_id,
points =$position),
array (id=$member_id,
points = $position);
$member_id will be used to dynamically build the html form, $position will
be an integer entered into a text field in that form
similar to this:
Fred($member_id=?) .. [ enter position=? ]
John)$member_id=?) ......[enter position=?]
etc
etc
[SUBMIT]
IF ( I can get the data into an array like above) {
I can make the rest of the script work }
but that is a big "if" <G> ....... how can I stucture the form
and get that multidimen array from the single name/value pairs passed from
an html form?
OR
Maybe I can make a normal array work?
I know that enclosing form field names in [] makes them available as an
array
if the form were dynamically built like
PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
<input type = hidden name = [data] value = $member_id> <input type = text
name = [data] >
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
<input type = hidden name = [data] value = $member_id> <input type = text
name = [data] >
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
<input type = hidden name = [data] value = $member_id> <input type = text
name = [data] >
etc
etc
I "think" I would then send an array containing all the $member_id (s) and
all the entries into the txt fields
first... am I correct in that?
second ... is the indexing order known and guaranteed? in other words is
$data[0] and $data[1] OR $data[12] and $data[13]
ALWAYS going to represent a "matched" pair? ( from "one line" of the
form } or is the indexing of the array subject to variation and may NOT be
in the same order as the [data] fields in the html ?????
What if nothing is entered into the txt field?I know that enclosing form
field names in [] makes them available as an
array
if the form were dynamically built like
PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
<input type = hidden name = [data] value = $member_id> <input type = text
name = [data] >
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
<input type = hidden name = [data] value = $member_id> <input type = text
name = [data] >
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
<input type = hidden name = [data] value = $member_id> <input type = text
name = [data] >
etc
