Thanks so very much for all your help, Mysql DB works , now I am encountering a little problem, hope I'll fix it quickly and a litle help of course, so here My Html form :
<div>Date:
<input onclick="ds_sh(this);" name="trans_date" readonly="readonly" style="cursor: text" /><br/><br/>
Product:
<select name="product_id []">
<option value="1">Item1</option>
<option value="2">Item2</option>
<option value="3">Item3</option>
<option value="4">Item4</option>
<option value="5">Item5</option>
</select>
Quantity:
<input type="text" name="stock_plus []" /><br/>
</div>
This div is repeated 10 times or more, and I use that form to let user add inventory count of selected product
Now when I tried to used PHP to insert rows on my table :
1-Method 1 :
PHP Code:
$product = $_POST['product_id']; $stock_plus = $_POST['stock_plus'];
$Date = $_POST['trans_date']; $limit = count($stock_plus);
for($i=0;$i<$limit;$i++) {
$product[$i] = mysql_real_escape_string($product[$i]);
$stock_plus[$i] = mysql_real_escape_string($stock_plus[$i]);
}
$query = "INSERT INTO table (trans_date, product_id, stock_plus)
VALUES ('".$Date."','".$product[$i]."','".$stock_plus[$i]."')";
if(mysql_query($query))
echo "$i successfully inserted.<br/>";
else
echo "$i encountered an error.<br/>";
I got : Notice: Undefined offset: 2... and not all the rows are inserted.
Method 2 :
PHP Code:
$trans_date=$_POST['trans_date']; $sql = 'INSERT INTO table
(trans_date, product_id, stock_plus) VALUES ';
for($i = 0;$i < count($_POST['product_id']);$i++) {
$sql .= "('$trans_date','".$_POST['product_id'][$i]."','".$_POST['stock_plus']i]."')";
if($i != count($_POST['product_id']) - 1)
{
$sql .= ',';
}
}
if (!mysql_query($sql)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); }
Here no errors but not all the rows are inserted. Can you help me please to see clearier what I missed,regards
Additional :
thanks Travesty3, I look too into myhtml for errors, My HTML body looks exactly like:
<body>
<form action="../inserts/stock_insert.php" method="post">
<div>
<!-- JS Datepicker -->
Date: <input onclick="ds_sh(this);" name="trans_date" readonly="readonly" style="cursor: text" />
<br/>
<!-- User should select product -->
Product:<select name="product_id []">
<option value="1">Item1</option>
<option value="2">Item2</option>
<option value="3">Item3</option>
<option value="4">Item4</option>
<option value="5">Item5</option>
</select>
<!-- User must enter the quantity -->
Quantity: <input type="text" name="stock_plus []" /><br/>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
the div is repeated 10 times, so the result I should have in my DB table is 10 rows insterted (trans_date, product_id(FK),stock_plus) When echoing Mysql errors, there are none.
