Question

for some reason this hasn’t been inserting into the database. I’m puzzled. It runs fine. I have no idea what’s wrong.

It should be updating a table called user_foods in a database called vitamink, but it isn’t. It’s connected properly. That’s not the problem.

<?php include 'top.php'; ?>

</head>

<div id="container">

<?php include 'header.php'; ?>

<?php include 'nav.php'; ?>


    <div id="content-container">

<div id="content_for_site">
        <h2>Find A Food</h2>    <br />  






<?php
 $query = "SELECT
 `id`, `user_submitted_id`, `approved`, `name`, `source`, `vit_k`, `cal`,`protein`, `fiber`, `carbs`, `sugar`, `sodium`, `chol`
 FROM `foods`
 ";
    $query_run = mysql_query($query);


?>


<br /><br />

    echo ' value="'.$row["id"].'" />'
    .$row["name"]." | ".
    $row["vit_k"]." | ".

    $row["source"].   
    '<br />';
    }
    ?>
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Add Food to my Meal Planner Queue">

</form>

 <?php


// send the foods to the mysql database
if (isset($_POST[$row["id"]]) && !empty($_POST[$row["id"]])){


$id = $_POST[$row["id"]];
$query = "INSERT INTO `users_foods` VALUES('','".$_SESSION['user_id']."','".$id."','','','','')";

$query_run = mysql_query($query);

  }


?>

Answer 1

row[“id”] isn’t in the post array. the post array only contains numbers (the ids).
