giraffemedia Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I have a set of numbers that are comma separated in a table in my db. These are magazine issue numbers that were entered as an array when the user selects what issues they have read through checkboxes in a form. They simply read like 31,32,35,45,52 etc. What i am trying to do is create an edit form that enables the user to change these via checkboxs when they are on the edit page. I need to pre-populate the form with a list of checkboxes that are either checked if the number is present in the array or unchecked if not. I can understand the logic but cannot get my code to work. Does anyone have an idea how this would work? Would I need to implode the array first and check to see if the value is equal to that of the checkbox?

craygo Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 What you need to do is grab the comma seperated values then create an array from them I use a function for this to get the data. Loop through all your issues then check to see if the id is in the array that you created. use the in_array() command to see if is is in the array. // Define the array variable $bf_issues_booked = explode(",",$row['bf_issue_number']); // just to see if there is any result echo $bf_issues_booked; // A loop used to populate my form with the checkboxes and issue name, number etc. This works fine while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($issues_result)) { $selected = in_array($row['issue_number'], $bf_issues_booked) ?

giraffemedia Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I have pasted the code craygo but it selects all the checkboxes, not just the ones that are already in the comma separated array. Maybe I haven't explained myself correctly - I have a query that selects all issues from the database within a 400 day period (This is needed because I need to display 13 issues) and echoes them to a table as a 2 column list. They all have unchecked checkboxes by default. What I need to do is compare these issue numbers with the comma separated array stored in the db to see if any are the same. If they are, I want to have the checkbox checked so that only the issues from the array are pre-selected - the user can then change select/de-select which ones they like. Here is the code I have so far... $issues_query="SELECT * FROM issues WHERE issue_on_sale BETWEEN NOW() AND DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 400 DAY)"; $issues_result=mysql_query($issues_query); if(!$issues_result) { echo("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } // Define the array variable $bf_issues_booked = explode(",",$row['bf_issue_number']); // A loop used to populate my form with the checkboxes and issue name, number etc. This works fine while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($issues_result)) { $selected = in_array($row['issue_number'], $bf_issues_booked) ? "checked" : 'checked="yes"'; $issues[] = '<input name="issue_number[]" type="checkbox" value="' .$row['issue_number']. '" tabindex="11" ' . $selected . ' />Issue <strong>' .$row['issue_number'] .

giraffemedia Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've managed to get this working if I make an array myself but not if I use the array (created using implode) from the db table so it looks like the problem is in my turning the db comma separated string into an array. Here is the code I am using... <?php session_start(); include ('../config.php'); include ('../opendb.php'); if(!isset($_SESSION['Login'])) header ("location:../login.php"); $record = $_GET['id']; $bf_record = $_GET['bf_id']; $query="SELECT * FROM contacts, booking_form WHERE contacts_id = $record AND bf_id = $bf_record"; $result=mysql_query($query); if(!$result) { print("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } $issues_query="SELECT * FROM issues WHERE issue_on_sale BETWEEN NOW() AND DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 400 DAY)"; $issues_result=mysql_query($issues_query); if(!$issues_result) { echo("Query Error: ".mysql_error()); } $test = array(59,62,69,70,71,72); $issues = implode(",",$row['bf_issues_booked']); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($issues_result)) { echo '<li><input type="checkbox" value="' . $row['issue_number'] . '"'; if (in_array($row['issue_number'], implode(",",$row['bf_issues_booked']))) { echo 'checked="yes">'; } else { echo'>'; } echo '<strong>' . $row['issue_number'] . '</strong>' . ' ' . $row['issue_month'] . '</li>'; } ?> If I use $test as the array I get this result... But if I use the $issues array all checkboxes are blank. What gives?

craygo Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 cool but could use some data from the tables. Also are the tables linked in any way. Because your first query $query="SELECT * FROM contacts, booking_form WHERE contacts_id = $record AND bf_id = $bf_record"; Doesn't really mean anything because there is no link between them. is the contact tables linked to the booking table??

giraffemedia Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Craygo, When you say are the tables linked, in what way do you mean? They are two separate tables - the contacts holds all the contacts (i.e. people) and the booking_form holds the booking form information for the contacts. There will be a variable amount of booking form entries for each contact. Each one occupies its own row and there is a field in this table called bf_company_id which holds a copy of the individual contact_id (auto_increment) so that I can insert the booking forms and relate it to the correct contact. Is this what you mean? Here is my MYSQL dump with sample data.

craygo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Ok gonna look. That is what I mean by linked, the contacts table is linked to the booking_form table through the contact_id = bf_company_id Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/113747-solved-please-help-im-stumped/#findComment-586511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam84 Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 A question about this topic. I am doing something similar You are storing different 'issues' as such '1,15,21,32,55' How would you do about searching for all the records that have the issue '15'. You cannot just go, because your issues column is more then likely a varchar, so 15 <> '1,15,21,32,55' SELECT * FROM table WHERE issues = '15' So how would you go about searching for the all the users who have a certain issue?
