dhcrusoe Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hey everyone, A PHP form submit that I have has two fields: a dropdown team/age field (U10,U11) and a "birthyear" field, which in the form is hidden. Unfortunately, the form field names are database-generated in SalesForce (and so, they're weird). On the processing side, the script is supposed to read the TEAM field and edit the YEAR field accordingly. However, it isn't working. Here's what I have: if ($_POST["00N40000001tymD"] == "U9") { $_POST["00N40000001tylU"] = "1999-2000"; } if ($_POST["00N40000001tymD"] == "U10") { $_POST["00N40000001tylU"] = "1998-1999"; } if ($_POST["00N40000001tymD"] == "U11") { $_POST["00N40000001tylU"] = "1997-1998"; } if ($_POST["00N40000001tymD"] == "U12") { $_POST["00N40000001tylU"] = "1996-1997"; } Maybe there's a better way to accomplish this? Or a reason this method isn't best / doesn't work? Thanks for your thoughts, everyone! --Dave Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140677-editing-_post-array/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 What do you mean by "it isn't working". What isn't working? What do you expect to happen?

dhcrusoe Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Oh -- Sorry! The data field for year is not being overwritten as per the IF statement. Basically, to test, I've assigned a temporary value in the form ("empty") that should be overwritten by the year ("1999-2000") with the IF statement. But for some reason, that isn't happening, and "empty" is being written to the DB. What do you mean by "it isn't working". What isn't working? What do you expect to happen?

dennismonsewicz Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 is your field name, naming scheme set up with names that like?

dhcrusoe Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Nod... it's a SalesForce integrator, so there's no choice. Out of curiosity, I tried: $_POST["00N40000001tylU"] = "1999-2000"; and that didn't work, either. Any ideas of why it might not be? That might show us why the larger IF isn't overwriting... is your field name, naming scheme set up with names that like?

dennismonsewicz Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 well the only thing i can figure is that the input field name is not correct and therefore not setting to a new variable. have you tried just echoing out the $_POST?

kenrbnsn Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Instead of using the "if" statements, try this: <?php $new_vals = array('U9' => '1999-2000', 'U10' => ' 1998-1999', 'U11' => '1997-1998', 'U12' => '1996 -1997') echo '<pre> ' .print_r($_POST["00N40000001tymD"],true) . '</pre>'; // debug $_POST['00N40000001tylU'] = (array_key_exists($_POST["00N40000001tymD"],$new_vals))?$new_vals[$_POST["00N40000001tymD"]]:'Bad Key'; echo '<pre> ' .print_r($_POST["00N40000001tylU"],true) . '</pre>'; // debug ?> Ken Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/140677-editing-_post-array/#findComment-736250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
