Button not working..

[MDanz]

it just displays "you have not pressed add yet" .. when i press the add button nothing happens. Its supposed to echo the form.  Any idea why?

 

<?php

session_start();

 

$add = $_GET['add'];

echo "<p align='right'><input type='submit' name='add' value='add'></p>";

 

if ($_SESSION['username']){

 

if(isset($add)){

$stacks[0] = "

<font color=white>Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='Logout.php'>Log Out</a></font>

<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='insert.php' method='post' name='changer'>

<p align='center'>

<input name='image' value='image' type='text'> <br>

<input type='text' name='hyperlink'value='hyperlink'> <br>

<input type='text' name='currency' value='currency'> <br>

<input type='text' name='name' value='name'> <br>

<input type='text' name='info' value='info'> <br>

<input type='text' name='keywords' value='keywords'> <br>

<input type='text' name='type' value='type'> <br>

<input type='submit' value='Submit'><br></p>";

} else {

$stacks[0] = "you have not pressed add yet.";

}

 

} else {

 

$stacks[0] = "You must be logged in!";

 

}

 

echo $stacks[0];

 

?>

What does the "Add" submit button do? I don't see any form tags around it. Are you trying to pass a GET variable with it?

[MDanz]

the add button should echo $stacks[0]..

 

 

what type of form should it be in?

[halfman]

Mate, where the $_SESSION['username'] coming from? have you passed it from some other pages? 

See if this help you

<?php

session_start();

 

$add = $_POST['add'];

 

if ($_POST['username'] != '' && $_POST['password'] != '') {

foreach ($_POST as $key => $val){

$_SESSION[$key] = $val;

}

}

 

?>

<p align='right'>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

    Username<input type="text" name="username" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['username']; ?>" >

        Password<input type="password" name="password" value="" >

        <input type="hidden" name="add" value="add" >

        <input type='submit' value='GO'>

    </form>

</p>

<?php

if ($_SESSION['username']){

  if(isset($add)){

  $stacks[0] = "

      <font color=white>Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='Logout.php'>Log Out</a></font>

?>

[MDanz]

thx for reply, not exactly what i'm looking for.  I want to be able to add multiple stack of input fields on the press of an add button. Your code put a login form at the top and then when pressing the button GO.  The input fields appeared.

 

So i need to put the button Add in a form.  Its on the same page so shall the method be 'post'? i'm a noob...

[halfman]

How about this?

<?php

session_start();

 

$add = $_GET['add'];

if (isset($add)) {

if (empty($_SESSION['username'])) {

$_SESSION['username'] = "";

}

}

 

?>

<p align='right'><input type='button' name='add' value='add' onClick="parent.location=('<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?add=add')"></p>

<?php

if ($_SESSION['username']){

 

  if(isset($add)){

  $stacks[0] = "

      <font color=white>Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='Logout.php'>Log Out</a></font>

      <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='insert.php' method='post' name='changer'>

      <p align='center'>

      <input name='image' value='image' type='text'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='hyperlink'value='hyperlink'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='currency' value='currency'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='name' value='name'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='info' value='info'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='keywords' value='keywords'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='type' value='type'> <br>

      <input type='submit' value='Submit'><br></p>";

  } else {

      $stacks[0] = "you have not pressed add yet.";

  }

 

} else {

 

  $stacks[0] = "You must be logged in!";

 

}

 

echo $stacks[0];

 

?>

 

I would use javascript to add multiple fields (Use jQuery or Mootools) it is quicker and your page doesnt need to be refreshed.

 

[MDanz]

I tried that and same, the add button doesn't work.

 

look here.. if you willing to register to my site...

 

http://www.u-stack.com/Index.php

 

when you get to the admin page.. you press the add button and nothing happens

 

i don't know anything about javascript, so i'm not looking for that option.. i already have trouble on php

[halfman]

I have made an account my username is test but it wont let me in, it says the user dosent exist!!

[MDanz]

it says your username is toddy?  is that you?

 

i've tested registration everything works fine..

[halfman]

i've tested registration everything works fine..

No mate my fullname is houman

How about you make a demo user with the demo password so I can get in.

[MDanz]

Username:testing

Password:testing

[halfman]

mate this is the worst way of coding but I think I have got the answer test this:

<?php
session_start();

$add = $_GET['add'];
if (isset($add)) {
if (empty($_SESSION['username'])) {
	$_SESSION['username'] = "";	
}
} 

?>
<p align='right'><input type='button' name='add' value='add' onClick="parent.location=('<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?add=add')"></p>
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])){
if (empty($_SESSION['stack'])) {
	$_SESSION['stack'] = "";
}
$i = 0;
  	if(isset($add)){
		$i = $_SESSION['i'];
		$_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "
		<font color=white>Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='Logout.php'>Log Out</a></font>
		<form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='insert.php' method='post' name='changer'>
		<p align='center'>
		<input name='image' value='image' type='text'> <br>
		<input type='text' name='hyperlink'value='hyperlink'> <br>
		<input type='text' name='currency' value='currency'> <br>
		<input type='text' name='name' value='name'> <br>
		<input type='text' name='info' value='info'> <br>
		<input type='text' name='keywords' value='keywords'> <br>
		<input type='text' name='type' value='type'> <br>
		<input type='submit' value='Submit'><br></p>";
		$_SESSION['i'] += 1;
} else {
	$_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "you have not pressed add yet.";
}

} else {

   $_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "You must be logged in!";

}
foreach ($_SESSION['stack'] as $key => $val){
echo $_SESSION['stack'][$key];
}


?>

[MDanz]

thx so much it works.. now i'll just figure out how to submit them individually... thx again

[halfman]

thanks so much it works.. now i'll just figure out how to submit them individually... thanks again

 

No worries mate,

If you stuck just post your problem I will try to figure it out for your problem

 

Good luck

Cheers

[MDanz]

hello again.. I've adjusted it

 

you can see here if your logged in

username:testing

password:testing. 

 

www.u-stack.com/Admin.php

 

But submit only submits one input stack of fields..

 

 

 

I'm guessing its hard for submit button to do multiple entry into the database...

[halfman]

Ofcourse because they all have same name

at the end of the each field add [] like <input type="text" name ="fieldName[]" value="" > then you will get the array of the values inside the [] you can put the $i so you know the reference.

Cheers

[MDanz]

I did this...

<p align='center'>

        <input name='image' value='image[$i]' type='text'> <br>

        <input type='text' name='hyperlink[$i]'value='hyperlink'> <br>

        <input type='text' name='currency[$i]' value='currency'> <br>

        <input type='text' name='name[$i]' value='name'> <br>

        <input type='text' name='info[$i]' value='info'> <br>

        <input type='text' name='keywords[$i]' value='keywords'> <br>

        <input type='text' name='type[$i]' value='type'> <br>

        </p>";

 

in phpmyadmin all the fields say Array??

[halfman]

I have replied to this, have no idea what happend to it, I ll do it again

 

you need to rationalise your code first, you need to have one submit button for all the stacks. anyhow check the below code

<?php
session_start();
?>
<pre>
<?php print_r($_POST); ?>
</pre>
<?php
$add = $_GET['add'];
if (isset($add)) {
   if (empty($_SESSION['username'])) {
      $_SESSION['username'] = "";   
   }
} 

?>
<p align='right'><input type='button' name='add' value='add' onClick="parent.location=('<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?add=add')"></p>
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['username'])){
   if (empty($_SESSION['stack'])) {
      $_SESSION['stack'] = "";
   }
   $i = 0;
     if(isset($add)){
         $i = $_SESSION['i'];
         $_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "
         <font color=white>Welcome, ".$_SESSION['username']."!<br><a href='Logout.php'>Log Out</a></font>
         <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='index.php' method='post' name='changer'>
         <p align='center'>
         <input name='image[$i]' value='image' type='text'> <br>
         <input type='text' name='hyperlink[$i]'value='hyperlink'> <br>
         <input type='text' name='currency[$i]' value='currency'> <br>
         <input type='text' name='name[$i]' value='name'> <br>
         <input type='text' name='info[$i]' value='info'> <br>
         <input type='text' name='keywords[$i]' value='keywords'> <br>
         <input type='text' name='type[$i]' value='type'> <br>
         <input type='submit' value='Submit'><br></p>";
         $_SESSION['i'] += 1;
   } else {
      $_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "you have not pressed add yet.";
   }
   
} else {

   $_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "You must be logged in!";

}
foreach ($_SESSION['stack'] as $key => $val){
   echo $_SESSION['stack'][$key];
}

?>

 

run this and you will get the array on top, you need to write a loop (foreach or while) array to extract the data

the dump result is something like this

 

Array
(
    [image] => Array
        (
            [0] => image
            [1] => image
        )

    [hyperlink] => Array
        (
            [0] => hyperlink
            [1] => hyperlink
        )

    [currency] => Array
        (
            [0] => currency
            [1] => currency
        )

    [name] => Array
        (
            [0] => name
            [1] => name
        )

    [info] => Array
        (
            [0] => info
            [1] => info
        )

    [keywords] => Array
        (
            [0] => keywords
            [1] => keywords
        )

    [type] => Array
        (
            [0] => type
            [1] => type
        )

)

Mate there are different major problems in here not only with the codes but also with the logics.

 

Can you first let me know what exactly you want to do in that page, maybe your approach is wrong, we can work on your approach, then we can fix the logics and make a cleaner code with less bugs.

 

Writing code is the easiest bit if you get the structue right. I would suggest write down all the steps that you want your user to follow, post them though then we can find the best solution. (Basic Flowchart is very handy!!)

How is it sound?

 

If you need just to know about the loop, go to php.net and look for "foeach, for, while" they are all loops and relatively easy to use.

 

[MDanz]

thanks i really appreciate the help.  I now have Everything working on the page but in phpadmin when i check the records it says Array for each field.  Its not displaying what i typed in the fields. I added $i to reference each and that works but still displays Array. Just need an understanding of this.

 

<?php

session_start();

echo "<font color=white>Welcome, " . $_SESSION['username'] . "!<br><a href='Logout.php'>Log Out</a></font>";

$add = $_GET['add'];

if (isset($add)) {

  if (empty($_SESSION['username'])) {

      $_SESSION['username'] = "";

  }

} ?> <p align='right'><input type='button' name='add' value='add' onClick="parent.location=('<?php

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?add=add')"></p> <?php

if (isset($_SESSION['username'])) {

  if (empty($_SESSION['stack'])) {

      $_SESSION['stack'] = "";

  }

  $i = 0;

  if (isset($add)) {

      $i = $_SESSION['i'];

      $_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "

      <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='insert.php' method='post' name='changer'>

      <p align='center'>

      <input type='text' name='keywords[$i]' value='keywords'> <br>

      <input type='text' name='type[$i]' value='type'> <br>

      </p>";

      $_SESSION['i']+= 1;

  }

} else {

  $_SESSION['stack'][$i] = "You must be logged in!";

}

foreach($_SESSION['stack'] as $key => $val) {

  echo $_SESSION['stack'][$key];

} ?>

 

 

 

 

[halfman]

There you go, but I have no idea how you are going to continue. Anyhow this your answer mate:

<?php

[MDanz]

thx for the help one again

 

foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) {

  foreach ($val as $k => $v) {

 

    $query = " UPDATE Upload SET (`image`, `hyperlink`,`currency`,`name`,`info`,`keywords`,`type`) = '$v' INSERT mysql_insert_id() ";

  }

}

      $query = "INSERT INTO Upload";

      $query = "(`image`, `hyperlink`,`currency`,`name`,`info`,`keywords`,`type`) VALUES ('$image','$hyperlink','$currency','$name','$info','$keywords','$type')";

 

      $results = mysql_query($query, $link);

 

is the bolded correct?

[halfman]

No mate:

To use the mysql_insert_id(); your primary key in mysql needs to be auto_increamented field.

Then write the insert sql and use the $id = mysql_insert_id(); so you can get the last insert id then use it for the update.

 

Also I would suggest reading some documents about UPDATE and INSERT, it will help to to finish this task.

[MDanz]

There you go, but I have no idea how you are going to continue.

 

Not anything to do after this on this page.  the upload page will be done. I just want it simple as possible.  thx for help.  I'm more innovative when it comes to design and ideas but implementing them is where i have trouble.
