Re: [PHP-DB] posting information from a textarea
stripslashes should not be needed... if anything addslashes() may be needed if you have single quotes in the text area. I would say step 1 is to echo out your insert query to the page before you even excute the insert, to verify the query, and that you are getting the proper information from the form. -B Dave W wrote: I seem to be having a problem posting text from a text area.

The inputs are posting, but the textarea still isn't. Argh!

[PHP-DB] Taking care of an auto_increment field!
Hi pals, I have a module in my PHP application that creates and id (string + the auto_increment field). I read the last auto_increment value from the table, then in my code I use it as the base to create a second id (the auto_increment field + string). This happens for as many hardware the user has selected to send for repairment but, What if another user also is sending hardware for repairment? His process will also read the same auto_increment value from the table, will use it to create the second id field in my code, so, probably I will have ids like: Last auto_increment value = 1 User A VSA002 VSA003 User B TUX002 TUX003 I have a constraint: The ID part (from string + the auto_increment field) should be continuos! I can not have two IDs with the same auto_increment value in it!! Is there a way to use transactios in MySQL?? Or maybe using a global variable accesed by all the processes running in the server? Or actually creating the auto_increment fields by inserting as many rows needed, but what if the user cancels the operatuion? Or another different approach to solve this problem?

Re: [PHP-DB] Taking care of an auto_increment field!
Is there a way to use transactios in MySQL?? Of course. They only work properly with innodb tables though. This is all in the mysql documentation (http://dev.mysql.com) Or maybe using a global variable accesed by all the processes running in the server? You could create a global 'sequence' table and use that to get the id's. create table my_sequence(id int auto_increment); when you need a new number, $query = update my_sequence set id=last_insert_id(id+1); $result = mysql_query($query); $new_id = mysql_insert_id(); Or actually creating the auto_increment fields by inserting as many rows needed, but what if the user cancels the operatuion? What difference does that make? You'll have id's in the sequence but not used anywhere. No big deal. PS: Can you get rid of all that other crap when you send to a mailing list?

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: posting information from a textarea
I'll show you all the steps it passes through.
Here's the form:
form action=proc.php method=post
fieldset
label for=MottoMotto:/label
input class=text type=text size=25 name=motto
value=?php if($form-value(motto) == ){
echo $session-nationinfo['motto'];
}else{
echo $form-value(motto);
} ? /
label for=descNation Description:/label
textarea name=desc cols=50 rows=5?php
if($form-value(desc) == ){
echo $session-nationinfo['desc'];
}else{
echo $form-value(desc);
}
?/textarea
input type=submit value= Edit Nation /
/fieldset
/form
It's echoing the nationinfo right, but its not posting it. The motto also
works too. When it's submitted, it goes through the function
procEditNation().
$session-editNation($_POST['motto'], $_POST['desc']);
The editNation function:
function editNation($motto, $desc){
global $database, $form;
if($motto){
$field = motto;
$motto = htmlspecialchars($motto);
$database-updateNationField($this-username,motto,$motto);
}
if($desc){
$field = desc;
$desc = htmlspecialchars($desc);
$database-updateNationField($this-username,desc,$desc);
}
return true;
}
Then finally the updateNationField function:
function updateNationField($username, $field, $value){
$q = UPDATE nations SET .$field. = '$value' WHERE username =
'$username';
return mysql_query($q, $this-connection);
}
I just don't know what's wrong since it's posting the motto (which is just a
text-type input) and not the description (which is a textarea). I echo'd out
the mysql queries and excuted them myself from what echo'd out and it's
selecting the desc column just fine.

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: posting information from a textarea
hmm..interesting. Neither the motto or desc is showing up in the array. I
made a simple form and the
echo 'post vars: ' . print_r($_POST, true) . 'br/';
works fine. I'm just perplexed on why the motto is still working and not the
desc. Maybe it's because I'm using a fieldset, but then why wouldn't just
one not work?

Re: [PHP-DB] Re: posting information from a textarea
I think I might have found the problem, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I'm
just going to rebuild the form and it make it seperate (with all the
database calls in one page). For some reason, if I add another field before
the motto and i change it, it changes motto too...w/e I'll just make a new
one.

[PHP-DB] Populating an array to the next script!
Hello,
Is there a way to populate an array from one script to the next one?
I'm using a form, and a hidden field for such desire:
input name=hwt[] type=hidden value=?php echo($hwGSM);?
but it returns this:
input name=hwt[] type=hidden value=Array
then I pretend to read the array again at the target script by coding the
following:
$hw=$_POST['hwt'];
$hwGSM=$hw[0];
for($i=0;$i=$maxpoint;$i++){
echo($hwGSM[$i]);
}
It should be pretty easy but I have not done it ever!
Regards,
Miguel Guirao
P.S. I can not get rid of of the below crap!! I know is annoying, but it's a
