Create Invoice

[forumnz]

Hey,

 

Well I have a script that creates an invoice for a client.

 

I choose from a dropdown box and it sends the client id to the next page to execute.

 

I want to be able to make multiple ones at the same time (same cost etc) but can't figure it out.

Here is a snippet that will help:

<OPTION value=\"add_invoice.php?cid=$cid\">$cid | $name</OPTION>

 

I thought just adding &cid=# multiple times with different numbers would work but it doesn't.

PLease help,

Sam.

The names would need to be different!

Each client has a number (e.g. 5, 6, 7 etc) so what can I do?

Use the 'multiple' option from select:

I know how to do that, I need to know what the code should be in the url of the next page

 

So far its like /invoice/add_invoice.php?cid=8

and that will create invoice for client 8. How can I make it create invoice for clients 8,9,10 etc?

 

Thanks,

Sam.

Isn't the url put in the form statement, and you get the elements info independently?

Huh? It takes me to another page where i edit the invoice and click submit. On submit it creates the invoice, but only one.

 

What can I do?

Yes, use a multiple select box within a form, then you submit. When next page, read all the select objects, make an invoice for each... display all on page! You've attached  the link to an individual item within the list...
