variables lost when moving to new php page

trq · January 28, 2008

As i mentioned before it doesnt goto the processed.php page just remains at the new.php but the browser changes to:

http://localhost/Admin_files/new.php?order%5B7112%5D=checked

Because, as I mentioned before, you have no form defined.

trq · January 28, 2008

Sorry, I see the form now. Does your form have an action attribute?

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

I just looked back, and he does have a form defined. But you have 2 form tags:

<form>
<form action = "processed.php" method="post">



</div>

<div class="titleBox">

<table width="850" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

Get rid of the first empty form tag.

If it STILL isn't posting to processed.php, make sure you include your most recently updated version of the form code in your post.

My submit button looks like this

Should this include a post too??

My new.php looks like:

And when you click the button, it does not go to processed.php?

Also, I don't think you can name your checkboxs "order[123]" because the brackets are reserved characters. But doing so gave me an idea i'll bring up later...first, we need to get the form submitting.

Please confirm that clicking the button labeled "Process" doesn't change the page to processed.php

Yes, you can. I do it all the time.

Ken

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

my bad

mikebyrne · January 28, 2008

I can confirm that by clicking the submit button labeled process it does not got the the processed.php page

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

I stripped down your new.php page. Back it up, and replace it with this code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <title>ADMIN PAGE|order</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <form action = "processed.php" method="post">
      <table width="850" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<?php
// let's get some data
include('adminconnect.php');
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT OrderNo, Orderdate, Custname, Amount, Shippingmet FROM admin WHERE Orderdate = DATE_FORMAT(now(),'%y/%m/%d')");
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql) ) {
// loop through and display
?>
        <tr align="left">
          <td width="33"> </td>
          <td><input type = "checkbox" name="order[<?php echo $row['OrderNo'];?>]" value="checked"></td>
          <td width="33"> </td>
          <td width="82"><a href="javascript:openWindow('popup_detail.html', 'NewWindow', 615, 600)" class="black"><?php echo $row['OrderNo'];?></a></td>  
          <td width="61" align="center"><?php echo $row['Orderdate'];?></td>
          <td width="230" align="Left"><?php echo $row['Custname'];?></td>
          <td width="170" align="center"><?php echo $row['Trackno'];?></td>
          <td width="56" align="right"><?php echo $row['Amount'];?></td>
          <td width="21"> </td>
          <td width="136" align="center"><?php echo $row['Shippingmet'];?></td>
        </tr>
<?
}
?>
      </table>
      <input type="submit" value="Process">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>

Does that submit to the processed.php page?

mikebyrne · January 28, 2008

Yes this goes to the processed.php page and displays

Array ( [order] => Array ( [7112] => checked ) )

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

perfect...now the code for processed.php should be just like kenrbnsn said eariler:

<?php
include('adminconnect.php');
$tbl1 = 'admn';
foreach($_POST['order'] as $orderno => $dmy){
  $sql = "UPDATE $tbl1 SET Ordercompleted = 1 WHERE OrderNo= '{$orderno}'";
}
?>

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

And as for the rest of your new.php page, something was conflicting with the form. Add the pieces from the rest of the page back in piece by piece, testing the form each time. You will find your conflict eventually.

Also, leave the <form> tag around the table/submit button instead of the entire page.

mikebyrne · January 28, 2008

This still doesnt post a 1 into the table??

My SQL for the table is

-- ----------------------------

-- Table structure for admin

-- ----------------------------

CREATE TABLE `admin` (

`OrderNo` decimal(8,0) default NULL,

`Orderdate` date default NULL,

`Custname` char(10) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,

`Dispatchdate` date default NULL,

`Trackno` decimal(8,0) default NULL,

`Amount` decimal(5,0) default NULL,

`Shippingmet` char(255) collate latin1_general_ci default NULL,

`Ordercompleted` decimal(10,0) default NULL

) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COLLATE=latin1_general_ci;

-- ----------------------------

-- Records

-- ----------------------------

INSERT INTO `admin` VALUES ('34556', '2008-01-20', 'rob', '2008-01-21', '34112', '45', 'air', '1');

INSERT INTO `admin` VALUES ('7112', '2008-01-28', 'ppppp', '2008-02-15', '667', '78', 'air', '0');

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

Wow...it's definitely Monday...

You need to execute the SQL...here is the updated code:

<?php
include('adminconnect.php');
$tbl1 = 'admn';
foreach($_POST['order'] as $orderno => $dmy){
  $sql = "UPDATE $tbl1 SET Ordercompleted = 1 WHERE OrderNo= '{$orderno}'";
  mysql_query($sql) or die("Failed on order {$orderno}");
}
?>

mikebyrne · January 28, 2008

LOL..........Its been driving me mad all weekend!!!

getting the error

Failed on order 7112

rhodesa · January 28, 2008

$tbl1 = 'admn';

should be

$tbl1 = 'admin';

should be good-to-go now

mikebyrne · January 28, 2008

GREAT SPOT!!!!

Thats working now. Thanks a million for all your help.

I'll put the code back piece by piece into the original

Thanks again for your help

Cheers

mikebyrne · January 28, 2008

One quick question

What does the $orderno => $dmy refer to?

kankaro · January 29, 2008

try this one

<form>

<form action = "<? <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

</div>

<td width="86"><a href="#">order no.</a></td>

<td width="240"><a href="#">customer name</a></td>

<td width="64" align="right"><a href="#">amount</a></td>

<td width="138"><a href="#">shipping method</a></td>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

<?php

// let's get some data

include('adminconnect.php');

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT OrderNo, Orderdate, Custname, Amount, Shippingmet FROM admin WHERE Orderdate = DATE_FORMAT(now(),'%y/%m/%d')");

while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC) ) {

// loop through and display

?>

</tr>

<?

}

?>

</table>

</div>

</form>
