MrGraphx Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 I am going crazy trying to figure out how to accumulate user responses, to post to an array, before submitting the data to a handling script. I create the array, with a maximum number of entries, and then I want the user to be able to go to as many fields in the array to entr different information. When they are finished, then submit it to a script that will print out each element of the array. In the example below, all I have is a previous and a next button. I will add the other submit button once I figure out how to use the next and previous ones. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. NOTE: When I press the next button, it will work one (1) time only and that is it. Here is the script:<?php$Info = $_POST["Info"];$submit1 = $_POST["Previous"];$submit2 = $_POST["Next"];for ($i = 1; $i<= 5;$i++){ $a[] = "This is Number " . $i;}// Check to be sure the array was createdecho "The array length is " . count($a) . "<br />";// Load the length of the array into a separate variable$arr_length = count($a);// I have to flip the array to be able to select the // value I want to view$a = array_flip($a); $i = 0;echo "Array Length = " . $arr_length . "<br />";?><html> <head> <title>Personal INFO</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="<?php if($_POST['Previous']){ if($i > 0){ $i--; } } if($_POST['Next']){ if($i < $arr_length){ $i++; } } ?>"><input type = "text" width = "50" name = "Info" value = "<?php echo array_search("$i",$a) ;?>"><br /><br /><input type="submit" value="Previous" name="Previous[]"><input type="submit" value="Next" name="Next"></form></body></html> [img src=\"style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/huh.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":huh:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"huh.gif\" /] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I'm really not sure what you were trying to do with your code, especially the code inside the "action" attribute of the <form> tag.Here's some code that does the "Previous" and "Next". I started with your code and modified it greatly.[code]<?phpfor ($i = 1; $i<= 5;$i++) $a[$i] = "This is Number " . $i;$current = (isset($_POST['index']))?$_POST['index']:1;if (isset($_POST['next']))$current++;if (isset($_POST['previous']))$current--;if ($current > count($a)) $current = 1;if ($current < 1) $current = count($a);?><html><head><title>Personal INFO</title></head><body><form method="post" action=""><input type = "text" width = "50" name = "Info" value = "<?php echo $a[$current] ?>" /><input type="hidden" name="index" value="<?php echo $current ?>" /><br /><br /><input type="submit" value="Previous" name="previous" /><input type="submit" value="Next" name="next" /></form></body>[/code]Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
