Hi, I have a multi-select listbox set up like this:
Author (you are able to select more than one.<a href="addauthor.php">Click
here to add a new author</a>)<br>:
<select name="author" multiple size=5>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT AUTHOR_ID, AUTHOR_FNAME, AUTHOR_LNAME FROM
AUTHORS;") or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$option = "<option value=" . $row["AUTHOR_ID"] . ">" .
$row["AUTHOR_FNAME"] . " " . $row["AUTHOR_LNAME"] . "</option>";
echo $option;
}
?>
</select><br>
I then have a bit of code that parses through and checks which authors they
selected, if any.
if isset($author) {
if is_array($author) {
foreach($authors as $key=>$value) {
$query = "INSERT INTO BYLINE(TITLE_ID, AUTHOR_ID)
VALUES(" . $titleid . "," . $value . ");";
mysql_auery($query) or die(echo mysql_error());
}
} else {
$query = "INSERT INTO BYLINE(TITLE_ID, AUTHOR_ID) VALUES("
. $titleid . "," . $author . ");";
mysql_auery($query) or die(echo mysql_error());
}
}
What I'd like to know is, is this correct, incorrect, redundant, etc?
