How do I access array values within the query string

[tmfl]

Hi,

 

This is my first post here and I'm trying to do something which I thought would be simple enough but is starting to really annoy me now!

 

I'm using a form which a user predicts winning margins in a football fixtures list

 

while ($row = $res->fetch_array(MYSQLI_NUM)) {
        echo '<input type="hidden" name="fixture['.$row[0].']" value ="">';
        echo '<tr><td>'.$row[2].'</td>';
        echo '<td class="fixtures"><select name = "team1" id="team1"/><option value=""></option>';
        for ($i = 1; $i < 31; $i++)
            echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
        echo '</td>';
        echo '<td class="fixtures"><input type="checkbox" name="f'.$row[0].'draw" id="f'.$row[0].'draw" value="1"/></td>';
        echo '<td class="fixtures"><select name = "team2" id="team2"/><option value=""></option>';
        for ($i = 1; $i < 31; $i++)
            echo '<option value="'.$i.'">'.$i.'</option>';
        echo '</td>';
        echo '<td>'.$row[4].'</td>';
        echo '</tr>';
}

 

The code above retrieves a round of fixtures from a database and outputs team names, dropdown lists of winning margins and a checkbox for a draw e.g. Team 1 beats Teams 2 by 5 goals in fixture 1

 

I want to be able to insert each fixture prediction into my predictions table when the user submits the form

 

At the moment my query string looks like

 

prelatfixh.php?fixture[1]=&team1=5&team2=&fixture[2]=&team1=&team2=&fixture[3]..........

 

Is there a method where i can access the value of fixture[1] = team1=5 where it will only pick team that has a value set as only one team will have a value per fixture (or a draw which would be fixture1draw=1) and for all fixtures

 

Something like foreach fixture get value. I've tried various ways but get Array as an answer or incorrect index if i do $_GET['fixture'] or $_GET['fixture[]']

 

Is this even the smartest way to approach this ?

 

Many thanks in advance

Maybe make use of your own predetermined special character to join pieces of information:

 

fixture1=team1_5

 

Then, later on...

 

$fixture1_split = explode("_", $_GET['fixture1']);
//now, $fixture1_split[0] stores "team1" and $fixture1_split[1] stores "5"

 

 

Hope this helps (though I'm not sure it will).
