i have in php a table with some rows. Each row contains a dataset

  • 0

i have in php a table with some rows. Each row contains a dataset with an id.
The mission is to skip a field in a database depending on the id. The id is unknown.

i plan to skip the dataset with submit buttons. Also each dataset has one button. The form will send to PHP_SELF and in an function i do the update on the database.

Now the challenge is, to find out, which button ist pressed. It is not possible to run trough a case block, because the ids are between 1 and 99999.

can someone help me. I can rename type, name, id, of the buton. The id are already in the rowset.

Thank you very much!
Frank

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="POST" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>">
<fieldset><legend>Ihnen zugewiesene Services</legend>
<table width="100%" border="1">
  <tr>
    <th>Schalter</th>
    <th width="100%">Servicename</th>
    <th width="50">Status</th>
  </tr>
  <?php do { ?>
    <tr>
      <?php if ($row_Recordset1['sendToVoicebox'] == 0) { ?>
        <td><input type="submit" name="<?php $row_Recordset1['service_id']; ?>" id="btnOn" value="Voicebox ein" /></td>
      <?php } else { ?>
        <td><input type="submit" name="<?php $row_Recordset1['service_id']; ?>" id="btnOn" value="Voicebox aus" /></td>
      <?php } ?>          

      <td><?php echo $row_Recordset1['service_id']; ?></td>

      <?php if ($row_Recordset1['sendToVoicebox'] == 0) { ?>
      <td><img src="images/VoiceboxOff.png" width="64" height="64" alt="pause" /></td>  
      <?php } else { ?>
      <td><img src="images/VoiceboxOn.png" width="64" height="64" alt="pause" /></td>   
      <?php } ?>          
    </tr>
    <?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>
</table>
</fieldset>
<input type="hidden" name="MM_update" value="form1" />
<input name="service_id" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $row_Recordset1['service_id']; ?>" />

<?php if ($row_Recordset1['sendToVoicebox'] == 0) { ?>
    <input name="update" type="hidden" value="1" /> 
<?php } else { ?>
    <input name="update" type="hidden" value="0" /> 
<?php } ?>          

</form>

how can i catch the id in my function?

if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
  $updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE acdbasis SET userfield_2=%s WHERE service_id=%s",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['update'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['submit'], "int"));

    You can use array

    <?php if ($row_Recordset1['sendToVoicebox'] == 0) { ?>
<td><input type="submit" name="button[<?php echo $row_Recordset1['service_id']; ?>]" id="btnOn" value="Voicebox ein" /></td>
<?php } else { ?>
<td><input type="submit" name="button[<?php echo $row_Recordset1['service_id']; ?>]" id="btnOn" value="Voicebox aus" /></td>
<?php } ?>

<?php
if ((isset($_POST["MM_update"])) && ($_POST["MM_update"] == "form1")) {
$service_id = array_keys($_POST["button"]);
$service_id = $service_id[0]; //older php versions don't allow direct function...)[key]
$updateSQL = sprintf("UPDATE acdbasis SET userfield_2=%s WHERE service_id=%s",
                   GetSQLValueString($_POST['update'], "text"),
                   GetSQLValueString($service_id, "int"));

    Although it isn’t very elegant solution I still think it’s better than iterating through $_POST and checking if key is number.
