[PHP] Newbie form question
Hello.
I have an application that generete HTML5 form in PHP.
The form is written in a while loop and therefore the form field has exact
same name for every row in the loop.
And that is the problem. Because when my PHP document shall handle
submitted data it only take the very last row in the while loop and show
the result of it.
if(isset($_POST['update_explosive'])){
$item_serial_number = $_POST['item_serial_number'];
$update_item_in_store = $_POST['update_item_in_store'];
if($item_serial_number === "ETX1.22X1000"){
echo "$update_item_in_store";
}
if($item_serial_number === "ETX1.17X460"){
echo "$update_item_in_store";
}
}
I think the solution will be to create different and unike fieldname
dymamic. For example I tried to write " value=""> in
the HTML5/PHP form.
But the problem is that periode "." not is allowed as $variable_name.
I then try to write it this way:
if(isset($_POST['update_explosive'])){
$item_serial_number = $_POST['ETX1.22X1000'];
$update_item_in_store = $_POST['update_item_in_store'];
if($item_serial_number === "ETX1.22X1000"){
echo "$update_item_in_store";
}
if($item_serial_number === "ETX1.17X460"){
echo "$update_item_in_store";
}
}
But this last part did not make any sense to me. I recive no output when
tried that one.
One problem is that I have between 2 and 25 items with different serial
number. Sometimes only 5 of this shall be updated and other times all 25
items. I like to do this through one simple form and not for one time for
every single item. (I know how to do when select one by one and update
them, but that is a long and hard way for people using my application. A
better solution is to just use one form and view all items there. Then just
write the amount of item in field.)
If you have time to help me *understand* this newbie question by explain or
give me an example or post a link to a tutorial that can help me though, I
am very thankful.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Form Question
Better yet, don't allow the user to enter a From address. Simply give
them subscribe and unsubscribe radio buttons, and make sure the
un/subscribe-ee gets a confirmation email. And certainly check your
input fields for newlines. :)

Re: [PHP] Newbie Form Question
what I need is what I would use after the form is submitted - responding to whether the form sent the value (post likely from a dropdown field) of "subscribe" or unsubscribe" to the posted page for processing.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Form Question
Yes, the list serve software has the opt-in/confirmation stuff covered. I'm just trying to get the sub/unsub form on the website going.

Re: [PHP] Newbie Form Question
In most cases, your PHP build is set up with mail() attached to whatever SMTP you have on the server. you would just use the following... mail($recipientemail,$subject,$message); On 8/4/06, Duncan Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Friday 04 August 2006 13:27, Jay Blanchard wrote: > [snip] > I was wondering how simple it would be to set up a script to provide a > subscribe/unsubscribe form for a list serve.

I was wondering how simple it would be to set up a script to provide a subscribe/unsubscribe form for a list serve. The form would send an email to the subscribe address or unsubscribe address as selected.
