I am stumped on a project for a receiving system. I'm not sure how to handle receiving more than one line item. I can UPDATE ... WHERE id=$detid when I have 1 item, but how would I get the SQL to fire X times depending on the number of line items I have AND UPDATE the appropriate record.
Currently I have the following: index.php -> results.php -> recv.php Search for | Results of PO | Page to receive/back order PO ($ponum | Search | items. or $vendor) The code below displays the line items from the PO: ... $myServer = "myserver"; $myUser = "login"; $myPass = "password"; $myDB = "db"; $s = @mssql_connect($myServer, $myUser, $myPass) or die("Couldn't connect to SQL Server on $myServer"); $d = @mssql_select_db($myDB, $s) or die("Couldn't open database $myDB"); $sql="SELECT tbl_po.poid, tbl_po.vend_name, tbl_podet.qty, tbl_podet.unitqty, tbl_podet.um, tbl_podet.partnum, tbl_podet.partdesc FROM tbl_po INNER JOIN tbl_podet ON tbl_po.poid = tbl_podet.ponum WHERE (((tbl_po.poid)=$ponum))"; $result = mssql_query($sql); $numRows = mssql_num_rows($result); ... [HTML Table header] ... while($row = mssql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<tr align=center valign=top>"; echo "<td align=center>" . $row[0] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=center>" . $row[1] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=center>" . $row[2] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=center>" . $row[3] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=center>" . $row[4] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=left>" . $row[5] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=left>" . $row[6] . "</td>"; echo "<td align=center><input type=\"text\" name=\"recvd\"></td>"; echo "<td align=center><input type=\"text\" name=\"bkord\"></td>"; echo "</tr>"; echo "</font>"; echo "</form>"; } echo "</table>"; echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Receive\" value=\"Receive\">"; The last 2 boxes in the table are for Recvd qty and Back Order Qty. The problem is I could have 1 line item or I could have 10 line items. So if I have 1 item and my SQL is "UPDATE tbl_podetail SET bkorder=$bkord WHERE id=$detid" that will work fine, but if I have 10 items, the same UPDATE statement will only update the LAST $detid, it won't fire 10 times for item. I could add another column with a button next to each line item to save the changes, but would (for simplicity) rather have the one "Receive" button.
