You're inserting the string 'Array' into the DB. The form you have is
sending an actual array, but the insert statement can only insert a
single string. The string of the array is, as you've found out, 'Array'.
Consider normalising the DB and having a keywords table with 3 fields:
id, image_id, keyword.
Then each entry in the keywords table would be a keyword, linked by
image_id. You'll also need to change your images table to include an id
by which you can reference each image individually and index by.
Lastly, be very careful of your insert statements. The way things stand,
it would be easy for someone to maliciously enter their own statements.
Use something like mysql_real_escape_string() to protect against MySQL
attacks.
Thanks,
Ash

I'm sorry, it looks like I sent a reply direct to you instead of the board,
a mistake on my part. Here is the message.
Richard
Thank you for your reply.
Something good is happening. When I look into the actual DB, I see in the
keyword column
a:9:{i:0;s:3:"fox";i:1;s:6:"wolves";i:2;s:8:"wildl(this is
truncated),which seems to be the values within the array.
I used your serialized suggestion for this.
However when I bring the table to the screeen of a browser, I still get
Array.
Here is the updated coed of the insert.php
';
if ($how_many>0) {
echo 'You chose the following keywords:';
}
for ($i=0; $i<$how_many; $i++) {
echo ($i+1) . '- ' . $keyword[$i] . '';
}
echo "";
}
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
if($result == true) {
echo "Successfully Inserted $image_file into database";
} else {
echo "Some Error Occured While Inserting Records";
}
$keyword = serialize($_POST['keyword']);
mysqli_close($dbc);
and the updated display code
$query="SELECT * FROM images";
$data = mysqli_query($dbc, $query);
// Loop through the array of score data, formatting it as HTML
echo 'Image display information from Database';
echo 'Id NumberDate
EnteredCaptionWhere
TakenKeywordsDescriptionImage';
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($data)) {
// Display the data
echo '' . $row['image_id']. '';
echo '' . $row['submitted']. '';
echo '' . $row['caption']. '';
echo '' . $row['where_taken'] . '';
echo '' . $keyword = unserialize($row['keyword']). '';
echo '' . $row['description'] . '';
if (is_file($row['image_file'])) {
echo '';
}
Thank you again for your help.

You say you're getting an entry of Array in your table. Is this after
performing an insert query from the form? If so, we're gonna need to see
the code for that! If it's that you're retrieving from the DB and
getting Array as the output, then it could be that you're using string
functions on an array. However, as you said images are displaying, I
don't think that's the case. Maybe some of the fields in the DB have a
string literal of 'Array' as their value?
As for the images not displaying correctly, have you tried to just open
those images up in a browser using their uri? Just copy and paste it
from the tag. It might give more input on exactly what is
happening with the image.
Thanks,
Ash

As you are using , then you are creating an array called $_POST['keyword'].
So far so good.
When you construct your SQL statement, you are trying to put the array
into a string ...
Unfortunately, an handling an array like that will result in the array
becoming the text ...
Array
e.g.
outputs ...
Array Array Array
So, either you need to store the keywords in a separate table and link
it to the main table by some sort of ID, or convert the array to a
string.
You could use something like ...
$keywords = implode("\t", $_POST['keyword']);
to produce a tab separated list of keywords.
You could use a comma (',') as the separator, but if any keyword
contains a comma (unlikely, but thinking ahead, keywords COULD be
keyphrases), then the comma becomes a separator on the way out.
Or you could serialize the array if you weren't interested in
processing it in the DB.
$keywords = serialize($_POST['keyword']);
On the way out of the DB, you would use ...
$keywords = explode('\t', $row['keywords']);
or
$keywords = unserialize($row['keywords']

You're inserting the string 'Array' into the DB. The form you have is
sending an actual array, but the insert statement can only insert a
single string. The string of the array is, as you've found out, 'Array'.
Consider normalising the DB and having a keywords table with 3 fields:
id, image_id, keyword.
Then each entry in the keywords table would be a keyword, linked by
image_id. You'll also need to change your images table to include an id
by which you can reference each image individually and index by.
Lastly, be very careful of your insert statements. The way things stand,
it would be easy for someone to maliciously enter their own statements.
Use something like mysql_real_escape_string() to protect against MySQL
attacks.

Re: [PHP] Getting Array to Display
Ashley
Thank you for your reply.
I was trying to get the structure of the DB into a text form, cant seem to
find that (phpmyadmin).
This is the insert code
$query="INSERT INTO images(caption, where_taken, keyword, description,
image_file) VALUES
('$caption','$where_taken','$keyword','$description','$image_file')";
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$how_many = count($keyword);
echo 'keywords chosen: '.$how_many.'';
if ($how_many>0) {
echo 'You chose the following keywords:';
}
for ($i=0; $i<$how_many; $i++) {
echo ($i+1) . '- ' . $keyword[$i] . '';
}
echo "";
}
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query)
or die('Error querying database.');
if($result == true) {
echo "Successfully Inserted $image_file into database";
} else {
echo "Some Error Occured While Inserting Records";
}
mysqli_close($dbc);
?>
I hope that helps, and again thank you for your reply.

You say you're getting an entry of Array in your table. Is this after
performing an insert query from the form? If so, we're gonna need to see
the code for that! If it's that you're retrieving from the DB and
getting Array as the output, then it could be that you're using string
functions on an array. However, as you said images are displaying, I
don't think that's the case. Maybe some of the fields in the DB have a
string literal of 'Array' as their value?
As for the images not displaying correctly, have you tried to just open
those images up in a browser using their uri? Just copy and paste it
from the tag. It might give more input on exactly what is
happening with the image.
