I'm using a jquery plugin, it maskered my field and allow the user only to type the correct values. It is working very well, but now when I submit my form, the object IP is an Array, I need to retrieve only the IP number (10.1.25.2/30)
The result:
$ip = $_POST['ipaddress'];
print_r($ip);
//It returns to me
Array ( [abcd] => Array ( [0] => 10.1.25.2/30 ) )
I need implode the Array or do something on this way.. help please.!
The Whole Code:
HTML Page jQuery plugins included:
<script src="scripts/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript">
<script src="jquery.validate/jquery.caret.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jquery.validate/jquery.ipaddress.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
$('#ip').ipaddress({cidr:true});
});
</script>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="equipAction.php">
<tr>
<td>IP</td>
<td><input name="ipaddress[abcd][]" id="ip" type="text" value="<?=$ip;?>" />
<b>»» IP atribuído ao contrato do Cliente/Torre </b> </td>
</tr>
<input type='submit' name="alt" value="Edit" class="btn" />
</form>
Now my Action php code:
if ($_POST["alt"] == "Edit") {
# Dados do form
$idequip = $_GET['id'];
$contrato = $_POST['contrato'];
$transmi = $_POST['transmissor'];
$ip = $_POST['ipaddress'];
$local = $_POST['local']; //tipo_equip
$obs = $_POST['obs'];
$usado = $_POST['usado'];
echo "<br />";
print_r($ip);
# Atualiza dados do equipamento mestre
# desenvolvendo
$res = mysql_query("UPDATE equipment SET idtorre='$transmi', ip='$ip', tipo_equip='$local', obs='$obs', usado_cliente='$usado' WHERE id='$idequip'") or die("Erro na query: atualização equipamento mestre.");
#header("Location: equipamento_adm.php?return=3&ip=$control");
exit;
}
That all!
It a simple multidimensional array, you can retrieve your value like this :
$ip = $_POST['ipaddress'];
$justip = $ip['abcd'][0];
Now there's only the ip address in the $justip variable.
You should maybe read the documentation about arrays : http://ch.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
By the way, if you switch from
<input name="ipaddress[abcd][]" id="ip" type="text" value="<?=$ip;?>" />
to
<input name="ipaddress[abcd]" id="ip" type="text" value="<?=$ip;?>" />
you will get rid of the array (notice the removed [] from the input's name attribute).
How many forms are on this page?
The reason that it's showing up in an array and not in $_POST['ipaddress'] is this: <input name="ipaddress[abcd][]" id="ip" type="text" value="<?=$ip;?>" /> in the form html. The [abcd][] causes it to make ipaddress an array containing an array with a key of 'abcd' of which the first available key gets populated with the value from the form. If you did <input name="ipaddress" id="ip" type="text" value="<?=$ip;?>" /> then the IP address would be available directly through $_POST['ipaddress'].
If you have multiple forms, then use name="ipaddress[]" and each form will populate a key of the $_POST['ipaddress'] array, so $_POST['ipaddress'][0] will be the first form and $_POST['ipaddress'][1] will be the second form and so on.
