Stuck on retreiving values on next page

[alanl1]

Hi all

 

 

I have the following code block and on my second page I can pull the values with the second for loop

 
foreach ($_POST[$data] as $datanumcolumns=>$datadownboxValue){

 echo "Dropdown array value" .$datanumcolumns. " columns dropdown value " .$datadownboxValue. " "?><br /><br /><?php

}
 
foreach ($_POST['dropdown'] as $dropnumcolumns=>$dropdownboxValue){

 echo "Dropdown array value" .$dropnumcolumns. " columns dropdown value " .$dropdownboxValue. " "?><br /><br /><?php

}
 
 

trouble is the dropdown box values are showing no problem but the textbox ones are not. could it be that $data variable or something.

here is the part of my initial page code block

 <?php

    // Two counter variables necessary for looping purposes for dynmaic drop down box javascript client side functions

$counter = 1;

$counter1 = 1;


    if (($handle = fopen($filename, "r")) !== FALSE)    

 {        

 $length = 1000;        

 $delimiter = ",";     
 $rows = 0;  // ADDED        

 while ( ( $data = fgetcsv( $handle, $length, $delimiter ) ) !== FALSE )        

 {        

 if( $rows == 0 )       

 {                

   $num = count($data);

   for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++)                

    { 

   echo "<table width=100% border=0>";

    echo "<tr width=25% align=right><td>";
    for ($d=0; $d < $num; $d++)                

    {  

     //echo "<option value='" .$data[$d]."'>" .$data[$d]."</option>";

   }

   echo "<input type='text' id='".$data[$c]."' value='".$data[$c]."' DISABLED='disabled' style='background-color:White; color:Black;'>";

    echo "</td>";

      echo "<td width=20% align=left>";

      ?> <---- Matches to -----> <select name="<?php echo "dropdown[" .$c."]" ?>" id="<?php echo "dropdown[" .$c."]" ?>" class="nohide" onchange="fillSelect(this,categories[this.value],'<?php echo "dropdown" .$counter++ ?>')"><?php

      echo "<option selected>Please Choose</option>";

      echo "<option value='Manufacturer" .$c. "'>Software Manufacturer</option>";

      echo "<option value='Product" .$c. "'>Product Name</option>";

      echo "<option value='Version" .$c. "'>Product Version</option>";

      echo "<option value='Keep Existing" .$c. "'>Keep Existing</option>";

      echo "<option value='Ignore" .$c. "'>Ignore</option>";   

      ?></select><?php

      echo "</td>";

     echo "<td width=15% align=left>";

     ?> <select name="<?php echo "secondDD[" .$c ."]" ?>" id="<?php echo "secondDD[" .$c."]" ?>" style="display:none;" onchange="fillSelect(this,categories[this.value],'<?php echo "secondDD[" .$counter1++ ."]" ?>')"><?php

      echo "<option selected>Please Choose</option>";

      echo "<option value='Manufacturer2" .$c. "'>Software Manufacturer</option>";

      echo "<option value='Product2" .$c. "'>Product Name</option>";

      echo "<option value='Version2" .$c. "'>Product Version</option>";

      echo "<option value='Keep Existing2" .$c. "'>Keep Existing</option>";

      echo "<option value='Ignore2" .$c. "'>Ignore</option>";   

      ?></select><?php

      echo "</td>";

    echo "</tr>";

    echo "</table>"; 

    }                                 

 }       

 $rows++; // ADDED      

 }              

  fclose($handle);    

 }

apparently it is not possible when the text box is set to disabled so i have set this to read only.

 

does anyone know if it is possible now

 

 

thanks in advance

Update FYI

 

 

I have managed to do this, I changed to a readonly textbox

 

<input type="text" name="<?php echo "textbox[" .$c ."]" ?>" id="<?php echo "textbox[" .$data[$c]."]" ?>" value="<?php echo $data[$c] ?>" readonly="readonly" style="background-color:White; color:Black;">

then

foreach ($_POST['textbox'] as $datanumcolumns=>$datadownboxValue){
 echo "Textbox value" .$datanumcolumns. " has a value of " .$datadownboxValue. " "?><br /><?php
}

This is a true statement. Disabled form elements are not posted with the form. Read Only elements are posted.

 

Keep in mind, however, that it is very simple for a visitor to change the value if they try -- the same is true for hidden elements which are posted.
