Need help in PHP

Pamitenot · June 28, 2009

Hi all, I'm working on a project but the function that I want doesn't work.

There is this button called "add student" and a new row will appear when I clicked that button. However the data I wrote in the previous first row will disappear when I click that button for a 2nd row.

Here is the code

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST['AddStudent'])) {
// If user click on Add new student button 
$temp = $_SESSION['numberOfStudents'];
$temp = $temp + 1;
$_SESSION['numberOfStudents'] = $temp;
}
/*else if (isset($_POST['FinalCheckBtn'])) {
// If user click on Final Check button go to Final check page
header('Location: http://localhost/SJAA/final_check.php') ;
}*/
else {
// if User enter this page the first time from "create new class page " 
// the variable that hold the credentials to connect to the database
$dbserver = "localhost";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpassword = "";
$dbname = "fyp - sem 1";
// connect to DB
mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpassword) or die(mysql_error());
// select the correct db.
mysql_select_db($dbname) or die(mysql_error());


// Read variables from the $_POST array
$class_name = $_POST['class_name'];
$class_venue = $_POST['class_venue'];
$date_of_lesson =$_POST['date_of_lesson'];
$time_of_lesson =$_POST['time_of_lesson'];
$class_duration =$_POST['class_duration'];
$date_of_exam =$_POST['date_of_exam'];
$class_in_charge =$_POST['class_in_charge'];	
$contact =$_POST['contact'];
$email =$_POST['email'];

// Prepare the query

$sql = "INSERT INTO b_class (class_name,class_venue,date_of_lesson,time_of_lesson,class_duration,date_of_exam,class_in_charge,contact,email) VALUES 
			('$class_name','$class_venue','$date_of_lesson','$time_of_lesson','$class_duration','$date_of_exam','$class_in_charge','$contact','$email')";

// Execute the query
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$_SESSION['numberOfStudents'] = 0;
$_SESSION['class_name']=$_POST['class_name'];
$_SESSION['class_venue'] = $_POST['class_venue'];
$_SESSION['date_of_lesson'] = $_POST['date_of_lesson'];
$_SESSION['time_of_lesson'] = $_POST['time_of_lesson'];
$_SESSION['class_duration'] = $_POST['class_duration'];
$_SESSION['date_of_exam'] = $_POST['date_of_exam'];
$_SESSION['class_in_charge'] = $_POST['class_in_charge'];
$_SESSION['contact'] = $_POST['contact'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];

Uhm a couple of questions for you.

1. why are you using sessions it doesn't seem you really need it.

2. why are you using enctype="multipart/form-data" I don't see you are using

any file upload.

3. What is it that your script is exactly supose to do? To be honest (and hope you don't take it as a offence) I think your script should be rewritten completely.

Your issue is with these lines:

   $NameCnt = "Name".$cnt;
   $NRICcnt = "NRICno".$cnt;
   $AgeCnt = "Age".$cnt;/td>

There's no POST field with the name "Namexx", "NRICnoxx" or "Agexx" (where xx is some number). You should have 'student_name'.$cnt. Like you do on these lines:

      <tr>
      <td><input type = 'text' name = 'student_name<?php echo $cnt ?>' value='<?php echo $_POST[$NameCnt] ?>'></td>
      <td><input type = 'text' name = 'nric<?php echo $cnt ?>' value='<?php echo $_POST[$NRICcnt] ?>'></td>
      <td><input type = 'text' name = 'age<?php echo $cnt ?>' value='<?php echo $_POST[$AgeCnt] ?>'></td>
      </tr>

Though it would be muuuch neater to use arrays.
