I am pushing arrays to localStorage which I want to store in a MySQL table upon clicking a button.
var coords = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('coords'));
the var coords provides me with the following output:
["STAR_SPORTS_2-20170924-200043-210917-00142.jpg", "PerimeterBoard", "Jupiter", 236, 353, 292, 319, 312, 362, "STAR_SPORTS_2-20170924-200043-210917-00142.jpg", "TShirt", "Redshift", 268, 410, 381, 398, 381, 469, "STAR_SPORTS_2-20170924-200043-210917-00142.jpg", "Mic", "Airtel", 317, 327, 425, 329, 421, 371, "STAR_SPORTS_2-20170924-200043-210917-00142.jpg", "Mic", "Airtel", 575, 300, 575, 300, 626, 282]
I am using the following function to push this array to a PHP file:
function dbSave(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var coords = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('coords'));
$.post("saveAnnotations.php", {'data' : coords }, function(output){
alert(output);
});
}
saveAnnotations.php
<?php
$connect = mysqli_connect($hostname, $username, $password,$database);
$lsData = isset($_POST['data'])?$_POST['data']:'';
$annArray = json_decode($lsData, true);
$image = $annArray[0];
$location = $annArray[1];
$brand = $annArray[2];
$firstX = $annArray[3];
$firstY = $annArray[4];
$secondX = $annArray[5];
$secondY = $annArray[6];
$thirdX = $annArray[7];
$thirdY = $annArray[8];
$sql = "INSERT into `annotations` (`matchName`, `imagename`, `locationName`, `brandname`, `firstx`, `firsty`, `secondx`,`secondy`, `thirdx`,`thirdy`) values
('$matdir','$image', '$location','$brand','$firstX','$firstY','$secondX','$secondY','$thirdX','$thirdY');";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($connect));
if ($result) {
echo "Data uploaded Successfully";
}
$connect->close();
?>
The connection to the MySQL Db and table is perfect. When I hardcoded the values of each one of the fields, the data gets updated into the table. I think the problem is with posting the array from localStorage to PHP and decoding the same at PHP end.
$annArray = json_decode(json_encode($lsData, true), true);
$countArray = count($annArray);
$interval = $countArray/9;
function fill_chunck($array, $parts) {
$t = 0;
$result = array_fill(0, $parts - 1, array());
$max = ceil(count($array) / $parts);
foreach($array as $v) {
count($result[$t]) >= $max and $t ++;
$result[$t][] = $v;
}
return $result;
}
//echo print_r(fill_chunck($annArray, $interval));
$inputArray = [];
$inputArray = fill_chunck($annArray, $interval);
foreach($inputArray as $value=>$data) {
$image = $data[0];
$location = $data[1];
$brand = $data[2];
$firstX = $data[3];
$firstY = $data[4];
$secondX = $data[5];
$secondY = $data[6];
$thirdX = $data[7];
$thirdY = $data[8];
$sql = "INSERT into `annotations` (`imagename`, `locationName`, `brandname`, `firstx`, `firsty`, `secondx`,`secondy`, `thirdx`,`thirdy`) values
('$image', '$location','$brand','$firstX','$firstY','$secondX','$secondY','$thirdX','$thirdY');";
$result = mysqli_query($connect, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($connect));
if ($result) {
echo "Data uploaded Successfully";
}
$connect->close();
}
