I have a code that submits data into a cake json 'database', but when I submit using PHP. When I reload the page, the file repeats the code of the last object in the JSON file when I get it. How do I avoid this?
This is my PHP
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
if(empty($_POST["name"]))
{
$error = "<label class='text-danger'>Enter Name</label>";
}
else if(empty($_POST["type"]))
{
$error = "<label class='text-danger'>Enter Type</label>";
}
else if(empty($_POST["diff"]))
{
$error = "<label class='text-danger'>Enter Difficulty</label>";
}
else
{
if(file_exists('../../databases/cakes.json'))
{
$current_data = file_get_contents('../../databases/cakes.json');
$array_data = json_decode($current_data, true);
$extra = array(
'person' => array(
'name' => $_POST['name'],
'difficulty' => $_POST["diff"],
'type' => $_POST["type"],
'isNew' => 'true',
'isVeg' => 'false',
)
);
$array_data[] = $extra;
$final_data = json_encode($array_data);
if(file_put_contents('../../databases/cakes.json', $final_data))
{
//.-.
}
}
else
{
$error = 'JSON File not exits';
}
}
}
?>
<body>
<div id="layout"></div>
<div id="content">
<div id="add">
<div class="form-title"><h1>Add Cake</h1></div>
<form method="post">
<?php
if(isset($error))
{
echo $error;
}
?>
<br />
<div class="input-field">
<label for="name">Cake Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name"/>
</div>
<br />
<div class="input-field">
<label for="diff">Difficulty</label>
<div class="select">
<select name="diff" id="slct">
<option>Choose an option</option>
<option value="male">EZ</option>
<option value="female">Meh</option>
<option value="matthew">Mildy Hard</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="input-field">
<label for="type">Type</label>
<input type="text" name="type"/><br />
<a href="#" class="pw">Need Suggestions?</a><br>
</div>
<input class="addCake" type="submit" name="submit" value="Add Cake!"/><br />
<a href="#">See some other cakes</a>
<?php
if(isset($message))
{
echo $message;
}
?>
</form>
Submission Works. Result:
[[{"cake":{"name":"tes1","diff":"EZ","type":"Deli","isNew":"true","isVeg":"false"}}]]
But when I reload the page I see two of this things... Result:
[[{"cake":{"name":"tes1","diff":"EZ","type":"Deli","isNew":"true","isVeg":"false"},{"name":"tes1","diff":"EZ","type":"Deli","isNew":"true","isVeg":"false"}}]]
