Arrays with XML

frozenlight777 · May 28, 2008

I'm looping through an array with an xml file and it displays great......

<form method="POST"  action="uploadlist.php">	
<table align="center" border="1" width="600">
<tr>
	<th>Asset Tag</th>
	<th>Type</th>
	<th>Service Tag</th>
	<th>User</th>
</tr>
	<?php foreach( $data as $row ) { ?>
		<tr>
			<td><input name="Asset_Tag" value = "<?php echo( $row['Asset_Tag']); ?> "/></td>
			<td><input name="Type" value = "<?php echo( $row['Type']); ?> "/></td>
			<td><input type="hidden" name="Service_Tag" value = "<?php echo( $row['Service_Tag']); ?>"/></td>
			<td><input name="User" value = "<?php echo($row['User']); ?> "/></td> 
			<td><input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1"/> </td>
		</tr>
		<?php
		} ?>
	<td><input type="submit" value="Send to Database"/></td>		
</table>
</form>

however, how can I display the same results in the uploadlist.php file... I can't seem to get the array to display with the POST variables..... and I have no idea what other way there is..... ideas?

add [] to all of your input names...and if service tag is the unique id for each item, use this:

<?php foreach( $data as $row ) { ?>
<tr>
	<td><input type="text" name="Asset_Tag[<?php echo $row['Service_Tag']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['Asset_Tag']; ?>"/></td>
	<td><input type="text" name="Type[<?php echo $row['Service_Tag']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['Type']; ?>"/></td>
	<td><input type="text" name="User[<?php echo $row['Service_Tag']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['User']; ?>"/></td> 
	<td><input type="hidden" name="_submit_check" value="1"/> </td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>

interesting.... now how would i display that on the other page...something like

$_POST("Asset_Tag");

?

rhodesa · May 28, 2008

$_POST would now look something like this:

Array (
  'Asset_Tag' => Array (
    'svc_tag_1' => 'Asset Tag for Service Tag 1',
    'svc_tag_2' => 'Asset Tag for Service Tag 2',
    'svc_tag_3' => 'Asset Tag for Service Tag 3',
    'svc_tag_4' => 'Asset Tag for Service Tag 4'
  ),
  'Type' => Array (
    'svc_tag_1' => 'Type for Service Tag 1',
    'svc_tag_2' => 'Type for Service Tag 2',
    'svc_tag_3' => 'Type for Service Tag 3',
    'svc_tag_4' => 'Type for Service Tag 4'
  ),
  'User' => Array (
    'svc_tag_1' => 'User for Service Tag 1',
    'svc_tag_2' => 'User for Service Tag 2',
    'svc_tag_3' => 'User for Service Tag 3',
    'svc_tag_4' => 'User for Service Tag 4'
  )
)

to loop over the info:

<?php
  foreach($_POST['Asset_Tag'] as $Service_Tag => $Asset_Tag){
    $Type = $_POST['Type'][$Service_Tag];
    $User = $_POST['User'][$Service_Tag];
    print $Asset_Tag.' : '.$Type.' : '.$User;
  }
?>

i'm sorry to be a pain but each array is independent from eachother. What you posted seemed to work but it only displayed in the URL.

rhodesa · May 28, 2008

put a print_r($_POST); on the page it submits to, and post what that outputs please

frozenlight777 · May 28, 2008

all it displays is:

Array()

with all the content in the URL

rhodesa · May 28, 2008

then something is wrong on your HTML page. can you do a view source on the page that display all the input boxes, and copy paste that?

please use code tags if you do..it's the button with the # on it in the toolbar

upload.php

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
require_once( "include.php" );
XMLParse();
?>

<html>
<form method="REQUEST"  action="uploadlist.php">	
<table align="center" border="1" width="600">
<tr>
	<th>Asset Tag</th>
	<th>Type</th>
	<th>Service Tag</th>
	<th>User</th>
</tr>
	<?php foreach( $data as $row ) { ?>
		<tr>
			<td><input type="text" name="Asset_Tag[<?php echo $row['Asset_Tag']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['Asset_Tag']; ?>"/></td>
			<td><input type="text" name="Type[<?php echo $row['Type']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['Type']; ?>"/></td>
			<td><input type="text" name="Service_Tag[<?php echo $row['Service_Tag']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['Service_Tag']; ?>"/></td> 
			<td><input type="text" name="User[<?php echo $row['User']; ?>]" value="<?php echo $row['User']; ?>"/></td> 
		</tr>
	<?php } ?>
	<td><input type="submit" value="Send to Database"/></td>		
</table>
</form>
</html>

and then the uploadlist.php file... which isn't anything yet except for

<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>

wow I apologize.... i used request instead of post.... been a long day... it displayed the whole array now...

rhodesa · May 28, 2008

i was gonna say...originally you had it POST...

frozenlight777 · May 28, 2008

Great... thanks for you help i got the array working so now how would i go about looping the data like i did in the first table.. something like

<?php

  foreach(????????] as ????){
   echo "<td>$_POST['Asset_Tag']</td>";
   echo "<td>$_POST['Type']</td>";
   echo "<td>$_POST['Service_Tag']</td>";
   echo "<td>$_POST['User']</td>";
  }
  
?>

not sure what the looping variables would be...

frozenlight777 · May 28, 2008

nevermind i got it.

  foreach($_POST['Asset_Tag'] as $key => $value){
    $Asset_Tag = $_POST['Asset_Tag'][$value];
    print $Asset_Tag;
echo "<br/>";
  }

thanks for you're help tho. you certainly got this working for me.
