Re: [PHP-DB] array from html form
the subarrays contain variable data and I tried to express that by showing
the array structure that way
if I access $needed_data[0]
it would be an array of two pieces of data ( both variable)
$needed_data[1] would also be an array of two variable pieces of data, etc
if I loop through them all I can use each "member_id / position " pair to
update a database
but I have no way to know how many such pairs there will be, and the actual
values of $member_id
and of $position will be different in each case
I hope that helps, sorry I'm not more skilled at expressing this

RE: [PHP-DB] array from html form
For one, why are you redefining the array 3 times in that script? ...
I'm trying to follow here... and its not making sense.

Subject: [PHP-DB] array from html form
Hi
I'm just a PHP "hobbiest" trying to build a points calculating system
for another hobby, please bear with me.
I need to build a multidimensional array from a html form,
the array would look like:
$needed_data = array (
array (id = $member_id,
points = $position ),
array ( id = $member_id,
points =$position),
array (id=$member_id,
points = $position);
$member_id will be used to dynamically build the html form, $position
will be an integer entered into a text field in that form similar to
this:
Fred($member_id=?) .. [ enter position=? ]
John)$member_id=?) ..[enter position=?]
etc
etc
[SUBMIT]
IF ( I can get the data into an array like above) {
I can make the rest of the script work }
but that is a big "if" ... how can I stucture the form and get
that multidimen array from the single name/value pairs passed from an
html form?
OR
Maybe I can make a normal array work?
I know that enclosing form field names in [] makes them available as an
array
if the form were dynamically built like
PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
etc etc
I "think" I would then send an array containing all the $member_id (s)
and all the entries into the txt fields
first... am I correct in that?
second ... is the indexing order known and guaranteed? in other words
is
$data[0] and $data[1] OR $data[12] and $data[13]
ALWAYS going to represent a "matched" pair? ( from "one line" of the
form } or is the indexing of the array subject to variation and may NOT
be in the same order as the [data] fields in the html ?
What if nothing is entered into the txt field?I know that enclosing form
field names in [] makes them available as an array
if the form were dynamically built like
PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
next PERSONS NAME (from database via $member_id )
