Able to see a variable in print_r()'s output, but not sure how to access it in code

Can I store an array in a variable?

I have this array:

$_POST['product']

and when I print it:

echo "<PRE>";
print_r($_POST['product']);
echo "</PRE>";

the result is:

<PRE>Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => cola
            [2] => wwww
            [3] => 1
            [4] => 2.00
            [5] => 0.00
            [6] => 2.00

        )

)
</PRE>

How can I store the value of the array in a variable? For example, I need to insert [1] => cola into the table in the database.

Answer 1

You can access the array like $_POST['product'][0][1] to get the value of cola.

For multiple inserting to database you should use foreach loop or for loop.

Alright,
Foreach Loop

foreach($_POST['product'] as $product) {
   mysql_query("INSERT INTO YOURTABLENAME('FIELD1','FIELD2'....) VALUES('".$product[0]."','".$product[1]."'....)"); 

}

I prefered to use for loop .

$count_array = count($_POST['product']);
for($i=0; $i>= $count_array; $i++){
   mysql_query("INSERT INTO YOURTABLENAME('FIELD1','FIELD2'....) VALUES('".$_POST['product'][$i]."','".$_POST['product'][$i]."'....)"); 
}

THere is also an optimize way for inserting in the database by avoiding the insert sql inside the for/foreach loop..
But for now that should work for you.. 🙂
