I have a form on a page which is created by a for loop.
$scripte = ($_POST["scriptake"]);
$scriptot = ($_POST["scriptot"]);
include 'config.php';
echo '<h2>'.$scripte.' Equipment</h2>';
echo '<h2>Total Hours '.$scriptot.'</h2>';
echo '<table class="table table-responsive">
<tr>
<form action="equiptest.php" method="post">
<th>Script Hour</th>
<th>Equipment Required</th>
<th>Stage</th>
</tr>';
$x = 1;
$p = 1;
$r = 1;
while($x <= $scriptot ) {
echo "<tr>
<td>".$x++."</td>
<td>
<input name='equip[".$r++."]'>
</td>
<td>
<input name='stage[".$p++."]'>
<input name='ohyeah' type='hidden' value= '".$scriptot."'>
</td>
</tr>";
}
echo '<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>';
As you can see a form with inputs is created with a for loop. The values from the form are collected in an array equip[] and stage[]. With have a counter for the index if that makes sense. The form is then submitted to the following script.
include 'config.php';
$scriptot = ($_POST["ohyeah"]);
$y = 1;
$r= 1;
foreach($_POST['equip'] as $key => $value) {
foreach($_POST['stage'] as $key => $stage) {
$query = $con->stmt_init();
$statement = $con->prepare("INSERT INTO dgam_equip
(equiplist,stage) VALUES (?,?)");
$statement->bind_param('ss',$value,$stage);
$statement->execute();
}
}
echo 'success';
//bind result variables to be printed
$statement->close();
echo '<br><br><br><br><br>';
I'm trying to then insert the arrays into a database.
ID | Equiplist |Stage
ID equip[] stage[]
I am trying to nest a foreach loop or get the arrays added in the correct row. I can get the row in but the data excecutes a huge number of times. I am guessing that is because the foreach loop is excecuting the second foreach loop What is the correct way to put this kind of data into a database. I am trying to set an array up first but am struggling.
