POST into Array problem

[kool_samule]

Hi Chaps,

 

I have a repeat region, displaying rows of data: jobid, fromtable, translatorcharge

In each row there is an input field to enter a cost for each job 'charge'.

//INPUT - TRANSLATOR CHARGE

<input type="text" name="translatorcharge" id="count" class="price" value="<?php echo $row_rsInvPending['jobtranslatorcharge']; ?>"/>

 

I have a hidden input that collects the information for each row, before sending all the information to a script page:

//HIDDEN INPUT - INFO COLLECTOR

<?php
$table_name = $row_rsInvPending['fromtable'];
$item_id = $row_rsInvPending['jobid'];
?>
<input type="hidden" name="jobinvsent[]" value="<?php echo $table_name; ?>:<?php echo $item_id; ?>:<?php $_POST['translatorcharge'] ?>" />

 

The script page then updates the translatorcharge column in the relevant table:

//SCRIPT - TO UPDATE DATABASE

$allowed_tables = Array('tbl_jobs','tbl_jobtransline','tbl_jobxml'); // to prevent SQL injection
foreach($_POST['jobinvsent'] as $var) {
    $arr = explode(':', $var);
    if(in_array($arr[0], $allowed_tables)) {
        $table = $arr[0];
        $rowid = $arr[1];
        $transcharge = $_POST['translatorcharge'];
        if(is_numeric($rowid)) {
            // run your SQL query here to update $table where row matches $rowid
            $mess = $ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; header( 'refresh: 0; url='.$ref);
            $query = sprintf("UPDATE $table SET jobtranslatorcharge='$transcharge' WHERE jobid=$rowid");
            $result = mysql_query($query, $conndb2) or die(mysql_error());
        }
    else {
  $mess = "<p>There was a problem</p>";
}
    }
} 

 

The problem is, although I'm entering different values for each row, only the last entered value is being passed to the array and therefore updating all rows with the same value.

My questions is, how can I 'individualise' each input, relating to each row?

try replacing

 

$transcharge = $_POST['translatorcharge'];

 

with

$transcharge = $arr[2];

Hi play_

tried that, got this response:

Array ( [translatorcharge] => 40 [jobinvsent] => Array ( [0] => :: [1] => tbl_jobxml:86: [2] => tbl_jobxml:69: [3] => tbl_jobs:145: [4] => tbl_jobs:144: ) )

Nothing was entered in the database

I helped him via IM.

just in case someone stumbles upon this in the years to come, the solution is below.

 

The problem was here:

<input type="text" name="translatorcharge" id="count" class="price" value="<?php echo $row_rsInvPending['jobtranslatorcharge']; ?>"/>

<?php
$table_name = $row_rsInvPending['fromtable'];
$item_id = $row_rsInvPending['jobid'];
?>

<input type="hidden" name="jobinvsent[]" value="<?php echo $table_name; ?>:<?php echo $item_id; ?>:<?php $_POST['translatorcharge'] ?>" />

 

He expected the user-entered value of the text input field to be in the hidden input field.

So he just made the text input's name an array, and on the processing page used parallel arrays ( $jobsinvent[], $translatorcharge[]) to update query.

Thanks to play_ for the help, a true gent.
