Foreach loop

[Xtremer360]

For some reason I'm getting an invalid argument supplied for foreach error and I'm not sure why.

 

<?php

// Include the database page
require ('../inc/dbconfig.php');

if (isset($_POST['edit_event_lineup'])) {
    $event_items = $_POST['event_items'];
    $event_id = (int)$_POST['event_id'];
    
    foreach ($event_items as $items) { 
        print_r($items);
        $segment_writer_id = (int)$_POST['segment_writer_id'];
        $introduction = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['introduction']);
        $conclusion = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['conclusion']);
        $segment_type = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['segment_type']);
        $match_number = (int)$_POST['match_number'];
        $segment_number = (int)$_POST['segment_number'];
        $match_type_id = (int)$_POST['match_type_id'];
        $segment_title = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['segment_title']);
        $match_type_id = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['match_type_id']);
        $titles_id_list = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['titles_id_list']);
        $stipulations_id_list = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['stipulations_id_list']);
        $characters_id_list = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['character_id_list']);
        $preview = mysqli_real_escape_string($dbc, $_POST['preview']);
    }

    $query = "INSERT INTO `event_segments` 
            (event_id, segment_writer_id, segment_type, sort_order_preview, segment_title, preview, is_submitted_yes_or_no_id) 
        VALUES 
            ('".$event_id."', '".$match_writer_id."', '".$segment_type."' ,'".$sort_order_preview."','".$segment_title."','".$preview."',2)";
    mysqli_query($dbc, $query);
    
}
        
?>

$event_items is a single value, and foreach expects an array. Do you expect $_POST['event_items'] to be an array? If so why do you expect this?

[Xtremer360]

The odd thing is inside of my post parameters for FB I have this for event_items:

 

event_items [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[mikesta707]

Hmm interesting, so it is an array? If you do a print_r on $event_items what do you get?

[Xtremer360]

Same thing.

[mikesta707]

What exactly does it say. Can you copy paste it...

[Xtremer360]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]<br />

Hmm, well can you post the page that is posting the information to the code you posted in your OP

[Xtremer360]

I'll send you a PM.

$_POST should never be populated with an object.

 

The only way it will be populated with an array is if you've named your files with a [] at the end, ie

 

<select name="some_name[]" multiple="multiple" size="3">

yeah this is what confused me. I was hoping he would post the code that actually sends the post data, but instead he decided to PM the link to the page.. which didn't help at all
