barbs75 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey guys, I'm having a little problem with my form... What i have is some javascript which allows a user to click to 'add a room' onto my submit page which creates this HTML for each added room: <div class="inputfield"> <p class="largeblue"><strong>Bedroom_1</strong></p> <div class="dimensions"> <label class="room" for="bedroom_width_1">Dimensions:</label> <input class="fade" name="bedroom_width_1" id="bedroom_width_1" type="text" size="5" value="" /> x <input class="fade" name="bedroom_length_1" id="bedroom_length_1" type="text" size="5" value="" /> </div> <div class="descriptionHolder"> <label class="room" for="bedroom_desc_1">Description:</label> <textarea name="bedroom_desc_1" id="bedroom_desc_1" cols="35" rows="5">Enter your description here..... </textarea> </div> </div> When they add more rooms, the number at the end for the 'id' values for each input/textarea, are incremented, so if the user added 2 rooms, the HTML for the input fields for 'bedroom_width' would be as follows: <input class="fade" name="bedroom_width_1" id="bedroom_width_1" type="text" size="5" value="" /> x <input class="fade" name="bedroom_length_1" id="bedroom_length_1" type="text" size="5" value="" /> <input class="fade" name="bedroom_width_2" id="bedroom_width_2" type="text" size="5" value="" /> x <input class="fade" name="bedroom_length_2" id="bedroom_length_2" type="text" size="5" value="" /> Now, what i am struggling with is how to process this data in these post data to then validate, and enter into my database. I dont really know how i would do this?? i have tried doing this using an array to store the widths, heights and descriptions for each room. Here is the code i came up with: $bedroom_width = array(); $bedroom_length = array(); $bedroom_desc = array(); //load in bedrooms information for($i=1;$i<=$no_of_bed;$i++){ $bedroom_width[$i] = $_POST['bedroom_width_'.$i]; $bedroom_length[$i] = $_POST['bedroom_length_'.$i]; $bedroom_desc[$i] = $_POST['bedroom_desc_'.$i]; } but when i use an echo to see the value of one of the array elements, there is nothing there! The technique that i have used for referencing to the post data, i have seen used for a SESSION variable, but it is not working here!! any idea how i would go about doing this? or is there something wrong with my code?? i really can't find any examples of this kind of thing on the net, but surely there must be a simple way of doing this?? cheers guys Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littledragon Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 questions: where does $no_of_bed in for($i=1;$i<=$no_of_bed;$i++) come from? did you var_dump($_POST); ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbs75 Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hey littledragon, the variable $no_of_bed is stored earlier on in my form processing script, which is taken from POST data from my form, here's the script for the processing page: <?php //turn on sessions session_start(); header("Cache-control: private"); //checking if user is logged in, if not send them to login screen if (!$_SESSION['username']) { include("login_form.php"); exit(); } //include database connections and email functions include('database.php'); include('email_fns.php'); //input username session info into variable $username = $_SESSION['username']; $detailserrorcount = 0; $detailserrorarray = array(); $detailsdataarray = array(); //load data from SESSION data $username = $_SESSION['username']; $user_id = $_SESSION['user_id']; //load posted data from form into local variables //load in house general info $property_type = $_POST['propertyType']; $status = $_POST['status']; $price = $_POST['price']; $no_of_bed = $_POST['noofbed']; $no_of_bath = $_POST['noofbath']; //laod in default room information //living room $livingroom_width = $_POST['livingroom_width']; $livingroom_length = $_POST['livingroom_length']; $livingroom_desc = $_POST['livingroom_desc']; //dining room $diningroom_width = $_POST['diningroom_width']; $diningroom_length = $_POST['diningroom_length']; $diningroom_desc = $_POST['diningroom_desc']; $bedroom_width = array(); $bedroom_length = array(); $bedroom_desc = array(); //load in bedrooms information for($i=1;$i<=$no_of_bed;$i++){ $bedroom_width[$i] = $_POST['bedroom_width_'.$i]; $bedroom_length[$i] = $_POST['bedroom_length_'.$i]; $bedroom_desc[$i] = $_POST['bedroom_desc_'.$i]; } echo 'the value of bedroom_width_1 variable is'. $bedroom_width_1; ?> cheers Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
