Probably not the best way to fix it, but I just changed $i=2 and $i<=8 and it works.

[Simple matching script with MySQL and HTML forms help]

Hello, all, I've got a question I hope you can help me out with.

I've got a database with two columns, one is called `the_question`, and the other is `the_answer`. Say the database looks like this:

[code]
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|`the_question`|`the_answer`|
|++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
|Apple        | Red        |
|Banana        | Green      |
|Grape        | Purple    |
|Blueberry    | Blue      |
|Cherry        | Red        |
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
[/code]

Now, what I want to do is have a form on a page where on the left-hand column, each value from `the_question` is listed, and on the right of each `the_question` value, there should be an input box where the user should enter the appropriate answer.
Now, I want to pass this data to a new page via form action, and I want the next page to check the user's responses against the appropriate `the_answer`fields. I'm having trouble understanding exactly how to do this. The script I have for the first page is:

[b]test_1.php[/b]
[code]
<form method="post" action="test_2.php">
<table>
<tr><td>Apple</td><td><input type="text" name="(don't know what to put here)" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Banana</td><td><input type="text" name="(don't know what to put here)" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Grape</td><td><input type="text" name="(don't know what to put here)" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Blueberry</td><td><input type="text" name="(don't know what to put here)" /></td></tr>
<tr><td>Cherry</td><td><input type="text" name="(don't know what to put here)" /></td></tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
[/code]

[b]test_2.php[/b]
[code]
<?php
foreach($_POST as $value) {
$data = $_POST; }

foreach($data as $data_for_query) {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `the_answer` = ".$data_for_query.";";
$query = mysql_query($sql);
if(empty(mysql_num_rows($query))) {
echo "Sorry, the correct answer was: " ;
//And at this point, how do I get it to return the correct answer? All I passed through the form was user input :(
else {
echo "Good job.";
}
}
?>
[/code]

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have no idea.

[PHP upload script wont upload mp3's]

How exactly does it not work? What's the error message? Is the file size too large?

[PHP Selecting only 10 rows from each of multiple WHERE conditions]

Alright, thanks for the reply anyway  :-\

[PHP Selecting only 10 rows from each of multiple WHERE conditions]

Shucks. Using [code]WHERE (`list_number` = 1 OR `list_number` = 3 OR `list_number` = 5)[/code] is also acceptable though, so any way to implement it with that sort of code?

Hopefully this will remedy the problem:

[PHP Selecting only 10 rows from each of multiple WHERE conditions]

Hi all, sorry, I know the title is ambiguous, but I wasn't sure exactly how to explain it.

Anyway,

Say I have the following code:

[code]'SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `list_number` IN (1,3,5)[/code]

Now, let's say that there are 20 rows for each matching `list_number` criteria (ie, There are 20 rows where `list_number` = 1, 20 rows where `list_number` = 3, and 20 rows where `list_number` = 5).

What I would like to know is, how would I tell the MySQL query to get only 10 (in order or random, doesn't matter) rows for each `list_number`? I thought that LIMIT only worked for the entire query, not per where condition.

Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

[PHP Checkboxes, dynamically change MySQL query]

Thanks for the simplified code! I never even knew the keyword "IN" existed!

[PHP Checkboxes, dynamically change MySQL query]

Dear wildteen88,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! That help was invaluable.

Sincerely,

[PHP Checkboxes, dynamically change MySQL query]

Hi all! Let's say I have the following ten checkboxes:

[code]<input name="checkbox_1" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_2" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_3" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_4" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_5" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_6" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_7" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_8" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_9" type="checkbox" value="1" />
  <input name="checkbox_10" type="checkbox" value="1" />[/code]

Now, for each checkbox the user checks, I want to update a MySQL query that will get values from each list corresponding to that number. For example, if they check boxes 1 and 2, I want the MySQL query to look like:

[code]"SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE (`list_number` = 1 OR `list_number` = 2)[/code]..etc

How would I generate this MySQL query most efficiently with ten or more checkboxes? I was thinking of using [code]foreach()[/code] but I'm not sure if that's going to work. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great! Thanks!
