Question

Perl cgi - dynamically generate tabulated form

Asked by: illuzian

HI All,

Need some help with something I'm writing and I've hit a mental block.

At current I'm fetching some data from sql and have stored a hash ref for each row in an array:

sub loadsheet {
        my $loadsheet = param(".SheetDate");
        $sth = $dbh->prepare("select Jobs.JobName,Jobs.JobDesc,Jobs.JobHelp From Jobs,Jobstatus where Jobstatus.Date = DATE('$loadsheet') AND Jobs.JobName = Jobstatus.JobName");
        $sth->execute;
        my @tbldata;
        while (my $a = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
                push(@tbldata, $a);
        }
        print htmlhead("Sheet");
        foreach my $hash (@tbldata) {
                foreach ( keys %$hash ) {
                       print h1("$_ $$hash{$_}");
                }
        }
        end_html;


Basically what want is to create a table+form ie:
COL HEADINGS
jobname | desc | url | tickbox | tickbox | textbox
jobname | desc | url | tickbox | tickbox | textbox
jobname | desc | url | tickbox | tickbox | textbox
[SUBMIT]

I can handle everything except how to generate the table with all form fields in it (last 3 columns), obviously I need to form in a table so that the presentation remains readable.

I could generate each field in the foreach loop however without it being in a table I'm somewhat lost, on top of that I also wouldn't have an idea how to gather the data submitted by the form to later 'update set' into the sql DB using form fields with the same name.


Thanks in advance guys.

I have not used it myself, but it looks like this module should do what you need.

HTMLTable - Create HTML table from DBI query output.

by: nemws1Posted on 2009-09-18 at 14:31:12ID: 25370151

Tricky, yes.  Impossible, no.

The usual trick I use here is to associate the form variable with the key for the data row, so hopefully you have some sort of UNIQUE ID on the your 'Sheets' table.  Change your first query to something like:

   $sth = $dbh->prepare("SELECT id, Date from Sheets where Current = 1");

Then, after line 80, where you're building your form, you'll do something like this:

   checkbox(-name => "checkbox-1-$sheet_id");
   checkbox(-name => "checkbox-2-$sheet_id");
   textfield(-name => "textfield-1-$sheet_id");

Then, when you want to process your form, you've got a little bit more work to do:

   my(@params) = $q->param();
   foreach my $formvar (@params) {
      my($type, $count, $sheet_id) = split(/-/, $formvar);
      if ($type eq "checkbox") {
         # prepare insert for checkbox $count belonging to field $sheet_id
         # current value is $q->param($formvar);
      } elsif ($type eq "textfield") {
         # same thing, but for a checkbox
      }
   }

If you don't have a unique id to work with, you can just use a general counter variable, (ie. for the first line of your form you use "1" instead of $sheet_id, then increment when you finish the row and the next row will be set up for "2", etc.)

I've solved the table/form generation issue with the attached example, this is fine(although messy at current) and I am now able to do what I am intending, however as mentioned earlier, I'm having issues working out how to process this date

Each value for each row will end up in the paramater list like so:

Tick1 = ticked,unticked,ticked
Tick2 = ticked,ticked,ticked
Comments = "Blah","Foo","Bah"

Obviously I need to fetch the first row of each "array" and assemle them into a query or put them into another array or has on their own. I'm having trouble working out an effective way of doing this.

One way I was considering:
my $i = 0;
my @sqlqueries;
foreach (@tick1) {
      push(@sqlqueries, "UPDATE SET column1=$_, column2=$tick2[$i], comments=$comments[$i] WHERE UID=$UID[$i]
$i++
}
As far as I can tell, if a comment or text box was left empty, it would add an element to the array like so:
@array = "element1","","element2"

Where "" is still a valid row but contains no text.

If this is definately the case I could simply process the queries like that but I'm sure there is a more efficient way of doing so.

my $hash;
	my $a;
	my @tbldata;
	my $keys;
	my @htmltable;
	my $loadsheet = param(".SheetDate");
	$sth = $dbh->prepare("select Jobstatus.Complete,Jobstatus.UID,Jobs.UID,Jobs.SheetPd,Jobs.JobName,Jobs.JobTime,Jobs.JobDesc,Jobs.JobHelp From Jobs,Jobstatus where Jobstatus.Date = DATE('$loadsheet') AND Jobs.UID = Jobstatus.UID ORDER BY SheetPd,JobTime");
	$sth->execute;
	while ($a = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
		push(@tbldata, $a);
	}
	print htmlhead("Sheet"),
	start_form();
		
	foreach $hash (@tbldata) {
		push(@htmltable, 
			th($$hash{JobName}).
			td(["$$hash{JobDesc}", a({-href=>$$hash{JobHelp}},"Help"), ]) ); #This will generate the form values for the table etc
		#}
	}
	print table({-border=>undef},
	Tr(\@htmltable));
	print end_form(),
	end_html;

For anyone referring to this question:
sub savesheet {
      my @params = param;
      my @sqlqueries;
      foreach my $fields (@params) {
            my ($key, $type, $column) = split(/-/, $fields);
            my $val = param($fields);      
            if ($type eq "tf") {
                  push(@sqlqueries,"update Jobstatus set Notes='$val' where Jobstatus.Key='$key'");
            }
            elsif ($type eq "cb") {
                  push(@sqlqueries,"update Jobstatus set Complete='1' where Jobstatus.Key='$key'");
            }
      }
      foreach (@sqlqueries) {
            $sth = $dbh->prepare($_);
            $sth->execute;
      }
      loadsheet();
}

Is the code which processes the values and puts them in the SQL db as suggested by nemws1.

The following:

sub loadsheet {
      #One day I will put these all into one delclaration
      my $hash;
      my $a;
      my @tbldata;
      my $keys;
      my @htmltable;
      my $checked;
      my $reptext;
      my $helptext;
      my $queryperiod;
      my $loadsheet = param(".SheetDate");
      my $sheetperiod = param(".SheetPeriod");
      if ($sheetperiod eq "Morning") {
            $queryperiod = "AND Jobs.SheetPd = 1 ORDER BY JobTime";      
      }
      elsif ($sheetperiod eq "Afternoon") {
            $queryperiod = "AND Jobs.SheetPd = 2 ORDER BY JobTime";
      }
      elsif ($sheetperiod eq "Night") {
            $queryperiod = "AND Jobs.SheetPd = 3 ORDER BY JobTime";
      }
      elsif ($sheetperiod eq "Entire Sheet") {
            $queryperiod = "ORDER BY SheetPd,JobTime";
      }
      $sth = $dbh->prepare("select Jobs.ReportURL,Jobstatus.Notes,Jobstatus.Complete,Jobstatus.Key,Jobstatus.UID,Jobs.UID,Jobs.SheetPd,Jobs.JobName,Jobs.JobTime,Jobs.JobDesc,Jobs.JobHelp From Jobs,Jobstatus where Jobstatus.Date = DATE('$loadsheet') AND Jobs.UID = Jobstatus.UID $queryperiod");
      $sth->execute;
      while ($a = $sth->fetchrow_hashref()) {
            push(@tbldata, $a);
      }
      print htmlhead("Sheet"),
      start_form();
      print hidden(-name=>".SheetDate", -default=>"$loadsheet");
      print hidden(-name=>".SheetPeriod", -default=>"$sheetperiod");            
      foreach $hash (@tbldata) {
            if ($$hash{Complete} == 1) {
                  $checked = "on";
            }
            elsif ($$hash{Complete} == 0) {
                  $checked = "";
            }
            if ($$hash{JobHelp} eq "") {
                  $helptext = "NA";      
            }      
            else {
                  $helptext = "Link";
            }
            if ($$hash{ReportURL} eq "") {
                  $reptext = "NA";
            }
            else {
                  $reptext = "Report";
            }
            push(@htmltable,
                  th($$hash{JobName}).
                  td(["$$hash{JobTime}",
                  "$$hash{JobDesc}",
                  a({-href=>$$hash{JobHelp}},"$helptext"),
                  a({-href=>$$hash{ReportURL}}, "$reptext"),
                  checkbox(-name=>"$$hash{Key}-cb-completed", -checked=>"$checked", -label=>"", ),
                  textfield(-name=>"$$hash{Key}-tf-Notes", -default=>"$$hash{Notes}" ) ]) );
      }
      print table({-border=>undef, -align=>"center"},
      caption("Daily Schedule for $loadsheet"),
      th(['Jobname','Job Time', 'Description','Link','Report','Completed','Comments']),
      Tr(\@htmltable));
      print '<div align=center>';
      print submit(-NAME => ".Page", -VALUE=>"Save"),
      submit(-NAME => ".Page", -VALUE=>"Add Job For Today"),
      submit(-NAME => ".Page", -VALUE=>"Finalise Sheet");
      print end_form(),
      '</div>',
      end_html;
      
}

Is how I am dynamically generating the table+form data.

See the code snip for the entire program so far.
