Hello everyone. I want to build a special form. It has different kind of input types text, radio,select and combo boxes. Specility of my need is this.
I need to insert one element value as one record to database. Let's assume there are two textboxes and radio button group. It means three input types. So I want to input these values as 3 records.
I want to keep 3 input values as array. So I named input elements as array.
Now I will show my code of one textbox and radio button group below. So you could get idea easily later.
<div class="form-group">
<input type="hidden" value="10" name="attribute_ID[]">
<label for="Model Year">Model Year :</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control" name="attribute_value[]" required="true">
<div class="invalid-feedback" style="text-shadow:none;">Please type Model Year </div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<fieldset id="Condition">
<input type="hidden" value="4" name="attribute_ID[]">
<label for="Condition">Condition :</label>
<div class="form-check-inline">
<div class="custom-control custom-radio">
<input type="radio" class="custom-control-input" id="New" name="attribute_value[2]" required value="New">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="New"> New</label>
</div>
<div class="custom-control custom-radio">
<input type="radio" class="custom-control-input" id="Reconditioned" name="attribute_value[2]" required value="Reconditioned">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="Reconditioned"> Reconditioned</label>
</div>
<div class="custom-control custom-radio">
<input type="radio" class="custom-control-input" id="Used" name="attribute_value[2]" required value="Used">
<label class="custom-control-label" for="Used"> Used</label>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</div>
My data table structure is like this,
REC_ID|ATTRIBUTE_ID|VALUE
As I mentioned above I used hidden type element to keep attribute ID value. Without any conflict I could keep attribute ID in hidden element as array. Later only without strugling I could access it using for each loop using PHP. So when I research on web I saw something like this, as example
<input type="text" name="array[attribute_name][attribute_value]" value="">
So I think for my problem it is the soulution. I want clear demonstartion/ description on name="array[attribute_name][attribute_value]"
. Furthermore I need to help with accessing those using php.
Currently I'm accessing using following php code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['finishmyad']))
{
if ($noe>0)
{
$cleanValues = [];
foreach( $_POST['attribute_value'] as $val )
$cleanValues[] = mysqli_real_escape_string( $con, $val );
//check
print_r($cleanValues);
echo '<br>';
}
else
{
echo '404 ! not Found';
}
}
?>
I'm again mentioning I need help with array[][] kind of situations. Thank You Guys :)
