I'm creating a crossword page on my site, I produce a grid (form) with 8 x 8 input boxes. when I fill in the answers they are sent to a page to assess them but this is where i have the problems.
the values are sent using form method GET
, so if the top line read q,w,e,r,t, , ,y then it would pass this over like this :-
submit.php?0[0]=q&0[1]=w&0[2]=e&0[3]=r&0[4]=t&0[5]=&0[6]=&0[7]=y&1[0]
But when I put the values into an array, the empty values are left out, so when printing out the array it reads as "q,w,e,r,t,y" instead of "q,w,e,r,t, , ,y"
I currently fill the array like this :-
$one = $_GET['0'];
My HTML form is:
<form action='submit.php' method='get' name='xword' id='xword1'> <?php
$array=array(
array("h","e","l","l","o","0","0","0"),
array("e","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
array("l","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
array("l","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
array("o","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
array("0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
array("0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
array("0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0"),
);
$X = 0;
while ($X < "8") {
$Y = 0;
while ($Y < "8") {
if ($array[$X][$Y] == "0") {
echo "<input type='text' id='text' name='" . $X . "[$Y]' class='blank'>";
} else {
echo "<input type='text' id='text' name='" . $X . "[$Y]' class='text'>";
}
$Y++;
}
echo "<br />";
$X++;
}
?> <input type='submit' value='Submit'>
Where am I going wrong?
