All i want to do is to store the user entered values to a database.There is a table and it has many text boxes where the user enters his input.Upon clicking submit button the values should be stored in the mysql table. I'm getting some errors right now.I'm completely new to php,Below I've attached the code and screenshots.
//workingcode.php
<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","tom","");
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
//select Database
mysql_select_db("sms", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept_info", $con) or die(mysql_error());
echo "<table border='1'>";
echo '<tr> <th>Sl No</th> <th>USN</th> <th>Name</th><th>code1</th><th>code 2</th> <th>code 3</th> <th>code 4</th> <th>code 5</th>
<th>code 6</th> <th>code 7</th> <th>code 8</th></tr>';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
echo "<tr><td>";
echo $row['id'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['usn'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $row['name'];
echo "</td>";
for ($i=1; $i <= 8; $i++) {
echo "<td> <input type='text' name='sl[{$row['usn']}][$i]' size='2' /> </td>" ;
}
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '
<form action = "insert.php" method = "post">
<div align="bottom">
<input type = "submit" align = "BOTTOM" value = "Proceed">
</div>
</form>
';
?>
I've linked this to an insert.php file as shown below..
<html>
<head>
<title>Marks Entry Results</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Student Marks Entry Results</h1>
<?php
$insertData = array();
foreach ($_POST['sl'] as $usn => $codes) {
foreach ($codes as $sl) {
$insertData[] = sprintf("('%s', %d)", mysqli_real_escape_string($usn), intval($sl));
}
}
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","tom","");
if (!$con) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
//select Database
mysql_select_db("sms", $con);
$query = "INSERT INTO mytable (usn, code1) VALUES
" . join(",
", $insertData);
$result = mysql_query($query);
if ($result) {
echo mysql_affected_rows()." Marks inserted into database.";
} else {
echo "An error has occurred. Not added.";
}
mysql_close();
?>
</body>
</html>
//The description of the table which i made for this is
/*mysql> desc mytable;
