hold arrays for later use

searls03 · February 12, 2012

So I have this:

<?php
include_once("connect.php");
session_start();


if($_POST['pay']){





foreach($_POST["product"] AS $key => $val) {
$product = $val;
$month = $_POST['month'][$key];
$day = $_POST['day'][$key];
$year = $_POST['year'][$key];
$date = $_POST['date'][$key];
$price = $_POST['price'][$key];
$qty = $_POST['qty'][$key];
$id = $_POST['id'][$key];
$total = $_POST['total'][$key];
$academy = $_POST['academy'][$key];
$priceunit = $price * $qty;
}
if($_POST['submit']){


$sql = "INSERT INTO transactions (date, month, day, year, product, product_id, category, academy, price, quantity, priceunit) 





VALUES('$date', '$month', '$day', '$year', '$product', '$id', '$category', '$academy', '$price', '$qty', '$priceunit' )";
$rs = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Problem with the query: $sql <br />" . mysql_error());


}}

1) Padding is only placed on the top and/or bottom of the div. The elements within this div have padding on their sides. This saves you from any "box model math". Keep in mind, if you add any side padding or border to the div itself, it will be added to the width you define to create the *total* width. You may also choose to remove the padding on the element in the div and place a second div within it with no width and the padding necessary for your design.

</html>

my goal is that the arrays that are set at the beginning of the page (pay comes from another page) will hold themselves until submit is posted that way nothing will insert until a sale is confirmed with the amount somebody payed. so basically I need to know how to hold those arrays so that they can be used to insert later

Not really sure I understand the question. Do you mean you wish to define the array on one page (load) and use them on another? If so, you should investigate the use of sessions. I'm sure Google can help and there's also a good tutorial on phpfreaks.
