[craygo]

i used what you had in last post but here is what I cam up with

[code]<?
if(isset($_GET['submit'])){
$months = array();
$days = array();
$years = array();
foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
if (substr($key, 0, 5) == 'month'){
$months[]=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 3) == 'day'){
$days[].=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 4) == 'year'){
$years[]=$value;
}
}
$date1 = ''.$years[0].'-'.$months[0].'-'.$days[0].'';
$date2 = ''.$years[1].'-'.$months[1].'-'.$days[1].'';
$date3 = ''.$years[2].'-'.$months[2].'-'.$days[2].'';
$date4 = ''.$years[3].'-'.$months[3].'-'.$days[3].'';
echo "$date1<br>";
echo "$date2<br>";
echo "$date3<br>";
echo "$date4<br>";

} else {
$day=date("d");
$month=date("m");
$year=date("Y");
?>

<form metod="GET" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<?
for ($i=1;$i<5;$i++){
?>
Day<?=$i?>:
<select name="day<?=$i?>">
<?
for($days=01;$days<32;$days++){
?>
<option value="<?=$days?>">Day <?=$days?></option>';
<?
}
?>
</select>
<select name="month<?=$i?>">
<?
for ($months=1;$months<13;$months++){
?>
<option value="<?=$months?>" <? if($months == $month){ echo "selected";} ?>>Month <?=$months?></option>';
<?
}
?>
</select>
<select name="year<?=$i?>">
<?
for($years=2006; $years<2010;$years++){
?>
<option value="<?=$years?>" <? if($years == $year){ echo "selected";}?>>Year <?=$years?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>
<br />
<?
}
?>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Date">
</form>
<?
}
?>[/code]

Maybe a better way but works for me

That well nice bit of codding, know how do i post all them dates into the database thank you so much.

I use 4 filed colums

date1
date2
date3
date4

Hope you can help cheers.

[craygo]

Is there anything else you want to insert at the same time, like id ect If you give me the field names and table name I will take care of it.

here is one example. I am assuming you are inserting this along with an id to identify who these dates belong to

[code]// Make database connection below

$id = $_GET['id'];
// Insert query
$sql = "INSERT INTO table SET
        id = '".$id."',
        date1 = '".$date1."',
        date2 = '".$date2."',
        date3 = '".$date3."',
        date4 = '".$date4."'";
// Run query
$res = mysql_query($sql);
// Check if errors in query and echo out results
if(!$res){
print MySql ERROR:'.die(mysql_error()).'';
} else {
print 'Date\'s entered into table';
}[/code]

Ray if i try to echo out the dates with:

$date1;
$date2;
$date3;
$date4;


Onto a page to cheek the data is in the varable i get nothink any idears please cheers.

[AndyB]

[code]<form metod="GET" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">[/code]
Should be as follows:
[code]<form method="GET" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">[/code]
That'll work if php short tags are enabled, otherwise change <?= to <?php echo

Then how are the form values retrieved? Code as if register_globals are OFF and get them thus:

[code]
// Make database connection below

$id = $_GET['id'];

$date1 = $_GET['date1']; // retrieve data from $_GET array
$date2 ... etc
// Insert query
[/code]

[redarrow]

How to do the same andy, with register_globals are on and using post not $_GET ok cheers.

I need to convert the below code to work via post so it can post the date varables to a test page to print the date varables out.

once this has be done, I then need to add the code to a form that is in use but need to add the date feature of this code to insert dates to the database.

On the form i got to add this code below but i am using post can you help please cheers.

ps. the code below does not need the form part or the if isset part as its going to be added to an existing form.

I got to get it to work with post or have a diffrent example to get 4 pull down boxs of dates by post, And also have the abilty to add to an existing form.

If there is another way easer to get four pull down box's for dates using post and not get, then please show me cheers.

[code]
<?
if(isset($_GET['submit'])){
$months = array();
$days = array();
$years = array();
foreach($_GET as $key => $value){
if (substr($key, 0, 5) == 'month'){
$months[]=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 3) == 'day'){
$days[].=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 4) == 'year'){
$years[]=$value;
}
}
$date1 = ''.$years[0].'-'.$months[0].'-'.$days[0].'';
$date2 = ''.$years[1].'-'.$months[1].'-'.$days[1].'';
$date3 = ''.$years[2].'-'.$months[2].'-'.$days[2].'';
$date4 = ''.$years[3].'-'.$months[3].'-'.$days[3].'';
echo "$date1<br>";
echo "$date2<br>";
echo "$date3<br>";
echo "$date4<br>";

} else {
$day=date("d");
$month=date("m");
$year=date("Y");
?>

<form metod="GET" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<?
for ($i=1;$i<5;$i++){

<br />
<?
}

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Date">
</form>
<?
}
?>
[/code]

[craygo]

Well I went with the assumption you would use the same page for the insert query. If you are using a new page here is the code seperated.

here is the form page called form.php
[code]<?
$day=date("d");
$month=date("m");
$year=date("Y");
?>

<form metod="POST" action="query.php">
<?
for ($i=1;$i<5;$i++){
?>
Day<?=$i?>:
<select name="day<?=$i?>">
<?
for($days=01;$days<32;$days++){
?>
<option value="<?=$days?>">Day <?=$days?></option>';
<?
}
?>
</select>
<select name="month<?=$i?>">
<?
for ($months=1;$months<13;$months++){
?>
<option value="<?=$months?>" <? if($months == $month){ echo "selected";} ?>>Month <?=$months?></option>';
<?
}
?>
</select>
<select name="year<?=$i?>">
<?
for($years=2006; $years<2010;$years++){
?>
<option value="<?=$years?>" <? if($years == $year){ echo "selected";}?>>Year <?=$years?></option>
<?
}
?>
</select>
<br />
<?
}
?>
<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Date">
</form>[/code]

Here is the query page called query.php
[code]<?
$months = array();
$days = array();
$years = array();
foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
if (substr($key, 0, 5) == 'month'){
$months[]=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 3) == 'day'){
$days[].=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 4) == 'year'){
$years[]=$value;
}
}
$dates1 = ''.$years[0].'-'.$months[0].'-'.$days[0].'';
$dates2 = ''.$years[1].'-'.$months[1].'-'.$days[1].'';
$dates3 = ''.$years[2].'-'.$months[2].'-'.$days[2].'';
$dates4 = ''.$years[3].'-'.$months[3].'-'.$days[3].'';
echo "$dates1<br>";
echo "$dates2<br>";
echo "$dates3<br>";
echo "$dates4<br>";
require('config.php');
include('includes/mysql.php');
$sql = "INSERT INTO table SET
        name_id = '$id',
        date1 = '".$dates1."',
        date2 = '".$dates2."',
        date3 = '".$dates3."',
        date4 = '".$dates4."'";
$res = mysql_query($sql);
if(!$res){
print 'Error with mysql ERROR:'.die(mysql_error()).'';
} else {
print 'date entered into table';
}[/code]

Think that is what you are looking for

Just a quick note. You ask how to modify something for when register_globals is ON. The answer is [b]DON'T[/b]. If you code as if register_globals is set to OFF it'll work regardless of the setting; if you code as if register_globals is set to ON and it isn't, you'll have failures whenever that isn't how it's set. Code safely - assume register_globals is OFF.

[redarrow]

Thanks ray i put this below code on a test.php page but i get no echoed results is there any reason for that.






[code]
<?
$months = array();
$days = array();
$years = array();
foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
if (substr($key, 0, 5) == 'month'){
$months[]=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 3) == 'day'){
$days[].=$value;
}
if (substr($key, 0, 4) == 'year'){
$years[]=$value;
}
}
$dates1 = ''.$years[0].'-'.$months[0].'-'.$days[0].'';
$dates2 = ''.$years[1].'-'.$months[1].'-'.$days[1].'';
$dates3 = ''.$years[2].'-'.$months[2].'-'.$days[2].'';
$dates4 = ''.$years[3].'-'.$months[3].'-'.$days[3].'';
echo "$date1<br>";
echo "$date2<br>";
echo "$date3<br>";
echo "$date4<br>";
?>
[/code]

[craygo]

The page itself will not work without the form before it.
I have modified my post above and gave names to the pages.

Try it
