Yeah, its defined in the array section where it defines the proper
way to access array's (Array do's and dont's)

[PHP] probably stupid, but...
I have a form that sends 20 rows of data into a script, instead of having to
write 20 separate add functions, I wrote this piece of code...
$i=1;
while ($i20)
{
if ($_POST[book_title_$i]' != )
{
INSERT INTO `curriculum` VALUES
('','$_POST[book_title_$i]','$_POST[book_level_$i]','$_POST[level_grades_$i]','$_POST[book_section_$i]','$_POST[chapter_$i]','$_POST[chapter_title_$i]','$_POST[lesson_title_$i]','$_POST[skill_$i]','$_POST[life_skill_$i]','$_POST[success_indicator_$i]','$_POST[ncscos_$i]','$_POST[subject_$i]','$_POST[pages_$i]','$_POST[c_kit_$i]');
$message .= The entry $i was entered
;
$i++;
}
else
{ $i++; }
}
But I get THIS error in the log:
[12-Nov-2004 14:59:19] PHP Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE,
expecting ']' in /home/public/html/depts/fourh/curriculum_form_post.php on line 19
-
How can I go about iterating through the script? or do I just need to write 20
if/else statements and separate inserts?
Thanks,
Robert

If so, remove the apostrophe after the ]

you've actually got quite a few mistakes.
if ($_POST[book_title_$i]' != )
notice --^
there is an extra '. the line should really look like:
if (!empty($_POST['book_title_'.$i])
{
...
{
INSERT INTO `curriculum` VALUES
('','$_POST[book_title_$i]','$_POST[book_level_$i]','$_POST[level_grades
_$i]','$_POST[book_section_$i]','$_POST[chapter_$i]','$_POST[chapter_tit
le_$i]','$_POST[lesson_title_$i]','$_POST[skill_$i]','$_POST[life_skill_
$i]','$_POST[success_indicator_$i]','$_POST[ncscos_$i]','$_POST[subject_
$i]','$_POST[pages_$i]','$_POST[c_kit_$i]');
and then here you don't even assign that sql statement to anything. PHP
doesn't know what to do with it.
also you need to wrap your array values in { } when an array is
referenced within a string. i.e.
// normal
$value = $_GET['something'];
// with { }
$value = Here is some data: {$_GET['something']};

I've been learning PHP for a little over 2 years now, and I've kept jumping
in and out of strings because I couldn't figure out how to make the darn
thing replace array values within it.
The syntax section does not mention this that I've been able to find, nor
does the variable section, and if it's in the array section then it's very
well buried. I seriously think the basic syntax section needs to cover a
bit more ground ... it would also solve our problem with recurring
questions about very basic things.
I'm not saying that the manual should be a complete teach-it-yourself
guide, but basic stuff that you need to use like all the time ought to be
in there.

Yes.

Search for More examples to demonstrate this fact then go down near
the bottom of that box and you'll see it.
