I have a page which shows items which users have saved to a MYSQL database, and echos it out along with a a check box. I would like when a user clicks this check box and clicks the save button that the record will be deleted but i am met with the errors in my title.
Show holidays form.
<form action="deleteProcess.php">
<?php
foreach($db->query($sql) as $row)
{
echo "<p>" . $row['title'] . "<br \>" .
$row['description'] . "<br \>" .
$row['link'] . "<br \>" .
$row['pubDate'] .
"<input type='checkbox' name='del[]' value='$row/['title'/]'/>" .
"</p>";
}
?>
<input type="submit" name="delete" value="submit" />
</form>
delete process.php
foreach($_POST['del'] as $check_value)
{
//takes session value and assigns it to a variable so that when a holiday is saved it can be distinguished by user
$user = $_SESSION['name'];
//assign the value of previous checkbox to $check
$check = $check_value;
//assign xpath query to variable $fav
$fav = "channel/item [title = \"$check\"]";
//loads instance of xml file as $holidayDoc
$holidayDoc = simplexml_load_file('holidays.xml');
//executes xpath search within holidays.xml and results stored in $favourites
$favourites = $holidayDoc->xpath($fav);
//for each element of the associative array $favourites, key will be referred to as $currentFav.
foreach($favourites as $currentFav)
{
echo "{$currentFav->link}". "<br \>";
echo "{$currentFav->title}". "<br \>";
echo "{$currentFav->description}". "<br \>";
echo "{$currentFav->pubDate} ". "<br \>";
//sql statement that states which values will be inserted into which column
$sql = "DELETE FROM `saved_holidays` (`subscriberID`, `link`, `pubDate`, `title`, `description`)
VALUES ('$user', '$currentFav->link', '$currentFav->pubDate', '$currentFav->title', '$currentFav->description')";
//connect to database then execute the sql statement.
$db->exec($sql);
//close connection to the database
$db = null;
The error is showing at the foreach($_POST['del'] as $check_value)
line and i cant understand why its not working, any help would be appreciated.
