I am trying to submit multiple arrays with a checkbox form but I am only able to submit one array at the moment, here is what I have so far
In this example I am submitting an array of numbers with the delete[]
array, this array gets processed properly, I also want to submit the array condition[]
this does not get processed properly, what is the best way to solve this issue?
php code
$catalog = $database->getInventory();
if($catalog){
$numRows = sizeof($catalog);//count
echo "<b>Book Count:</b> ".$numRows."<br>";
echo "<form method='post' action='inventory.php'>";
echo "<table id='example' class='tablesorter' border='0' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='1'>";
echo "
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ISBN</th>
<th>Title </th>
<th>Rank </th>
<th>Condition </th>
<th><input type='checkbox' name='delete' value='all' /></th>
</tr>
</thead>
";
foreach($catalog as $elem){
echo "
<tr>
<td>".$elem["isbn"]."</td>
<td>".$elem["title"]."</td>
<td>".$elem["rank"]."</td>
<td>".$elem["condition"]."</td>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]'
value='".$elem['isbn']."_".$elem['condition']."_"."' />
</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</form>";
}
example html markup
<form method='post' action='inventory.php'>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='hidden' name='addInventoryBook' value='1'>
<input type='submit' value='Add' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]' value='100001_used' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]' value='100001_new' />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type='checkbox' name='add[]' value='100003_new' />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
php function
function Inventory(){
if(isset($_POST['addInventoryBook'])){
if(isset($_POST['add']) && is_array($_POST['add'])){
$arr = array();
foreach($_POST['add'] as $checkbox){
$temp = explode("_", $checkbox);
$arr[] = array(
"isbn" => $temp[0],
"condition" => $temp[1],
"sub_condition" => $temp[2]
);
}
$this->addInventoryBook($arr);
}
else{
echo "No values have been set";
}
}
function addInventoryBook($arr){
foreach($arr as $elem){
//if used get sub-category
if($elem['condition']=='used'){
echo $elem['isbn']."-".ucfirst($elem['condition'])
.ucfirst($elem['sub_condition'])."<br>";
}
else if($elem['condition']=='new'){
echo $elem['isbn']."-".ucfirst($elem['condition'])."<br>";
}
}
}
All I want is to basically be able to pass two arrays to my php script
current output
100001
100002
100003
desired output
100001 good
100002 new
100003 new
