so I have:
$input=array($fname,$lname);
I then use:
$valueString = join(",",$values);
echo $valueString;
if I had input $fname = a and $lname = f
I then receive:
a,fa,f
Not sure why I get the ‘fa’ value and how to edit my code so I get just a,f
apologies for the poor question, though it would be simpler
this is the function;
function insert($coloumn, $values, $table)
{
$valueString = join(",",$values);
echo $valueString;
$insert = "INSERT INTO $table ($coloumn)
VALUES ($valueString)";
//$query = $this->dbLocalhost->query($insert)
//or die("could not insert:".mysql_error());
if($this->dbLocalhost->query($insert))
{
header('Location: blah.php');
}
}
and the this the page for the inputs:
<?php
session_start();
require_once("database.php");
$db = new Database();
$table = "tables";
$coloumn = "firstname, lastname";
if(isset($_POST['Add']))
{
$fname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lname = $_POST['lastname'];
$input=array($fname,$lname);
$db->emptyCheck($coloumn, $input, $table);
}
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Add new Record</title>
</head>
<body>
<br><br><br><br><br>
<div id ="formAlign" align="center">
<form action="" method ="post">
<label for="firstname"> First Name:</label>
<input type ="text" name="firstname">
<label for="lastname"> Last Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="lastname">
<input type="submit" name="Add">
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
To clarify
$db->emptyCheck($coloumn, $input, $table);
leads to:
$this->insert($coloumn, $values, $table);
being called.
implode()works fine. You are outputting the result ofimplode()twice.Note: I encourage using the root function and not the alias. (e.g.
implode()vs.join())
