Question

Insert MYSQL records into database from array

Asked by: danjen

Hello Experts!

I have a MYSQL statement that creates several groups of radio buttons that display options for a product.

I need to know how to get the value of the selected options and insert them into a MYSQL database.

The value column is what I need to insert in to MYSQL.

Thanks for the help.

mysql_select_db($database_localhost, $localhost);
$query_SortCapacity = sprintf("SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT concat('<input type=\"radio\"',' name=\"', SortFields.Field,'\" id=\"',SortFields.Field,'\" ''value=\"',SortFieldVals.Value,'\"' ,'/>',SortFieldVals.Value)Order by SortFieldVals.ValueDisplayOrder Separator ' ') AS Value,SortFields.Field,Categories.Category_ID, Categories.pkID FROM SortFields INNER JOIN Categories on Categories.pkID = SortFields.pkCategory INNER JOIN SortFieldVals on SortFieldVals.pkSortField = SortFields.pkID WHERE Categories.pkID = %s and  SortFields.Field <> 'QUALITY'  and SortFields.Field <> 'QUALITY LEVEL'  GROUP BY SortFieldVals.Field ", GetSQLValueString($MMColParam_SortCapacity, "int"));
$SortCapacity = mysql_query($query_SortCapacity, $localhost) or die(mysql_error());
$row_SortCapacity = mysql_fetch_assoc($SortCapacity);
$totalRows_SortCapacity = mysql_num_rows($SortCapacity);

This looks like it is only select one of the radio options. The mysql statement is creating multiple radio groups and I need to insert all of the checked items into the database. Here is an example of what it might create depending on the product.

Capacity:
12cf
14cf
16cf

Width
24in
46in
52in

Height
12in
14in
16in

Cycles
2-4
5-9
10-12

Each of the options is a group of radio buttons

Hi,

Please put semicolon i.e ";" in the line and let me know

$Prefix = "rad_";

Thanks

by: danjenPosted on 2009-11-05 at 22:08:52ID: 25756934

thanks - that fixed the error.

Now I am not getting any errors, but the values are not posting to the database.

Here is the form elements code:
<table width="410px">
<tr>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><h3>CAPACITY</h3>

<input type="radio" name="rad_CAPACITY" id="CAPACITY" 'value="1 TO 2 PERSON"/>1 TO 2 PERSON <input type="radio" name="rad_CAPACITY" id="CAPACITY" 'value="3 TO 4 PERSON"/>3 TO 4 PERSON <input type="radio" name="rad_CAPACITY" id="CAPACITY" 'value="5 OR MORE PERSON"/>5 OR MORE PERSON<br />
<br />
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><h3>ENERGY RATING</h3>
<input type="radio" name="rad_ENERGY RATING" id="ENERGY RATING" 'value="ENERGY STAR®"/>ENERGY STAR®<br />
<br />

<input type="radio" name="rad_POWER SOURCE" id="POWER SOURCE" 'value="ELECTRIC"/>ELECTRIC <input type="radio" name="rad_POWER SOURCE" id="POWER SOURCE" 'value="GAS"/>GAS<br />
<br />

<br />
</tr>
</table>
Here is the insert code

if (isset($_POST["insert"]))
{
foreach($_REQUEST as $key=>$value) {
$Prefix = "rad_";
$pos = strpos($key, $Prefix);
if (!is_integer($pos)) {
}else{
$tmp_name = split("_",$key);
$ins_query = "INSERT INTO UA_Sorts (SKU,Type,Value) VALUES (".((isset($_POST["ProductSKU"]))?$_POST["ProductSKU"]:"") .",'" . $tmp_name[1] . "','" . $value . "')";
mysql_query($ins_query);
}
}
}

Thank you for the help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I fixed the single quote in front of value.

Insert is the name I gave the button to post the form. There are no form tags in the code I pasted because the form is really long. There are other fields in the form that insert fine. Just the array is not posting to the database.

It is still not posting to the database.

Here is the new error I get

GGG
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Admin/Products_Insert.php:915) in Admin/Products_Insert.php on line 955

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Admin/Products_Insert.php:915) in WA_ValidationToolkit/WAVT_Scripts_PHP.php on line 71

Line 915 is the print GGGG

Here is the entire form. I have posted the inset exactly how you posted above, but nothing is inserted into the database. I can do an individual insert into the database by sort field type and it works fine, but the multiple insert you have posted does not seem to be working.

Hi danjen:-

You are post the value to Products_Insert.php, so you need to create Products_Insert.php and put the below code to that file and need to change databse username and pwd also databasename, please try below and let me know,

Thanks

<?
if (isset($_REQUEST["insert"]))
 {
 
mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password") or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb");  

         foreach($_REQUEST as $key=>$value) {
				$Prefix = "rad_";
				$pos = strpos($key, $Prefix);
				if (!is_integer($pos)) {
				}else{          
						$tmp_name = split("_",$key);
						$ins_query = "INSERT INTO UA_Sorts (SKU,Type,Value) VALUES (".((isset($_POST["ProductSKU"]))?$_POST["ProductSKU"]:"")  .",'" . $tmp_name[1] . "','" . $value . "')";
						mysql_query($ins_query);
				}
        }              
}

This form is in the page Products_Insert.php and the database connection is set. All of the items in the form post to the database except for the sort fields that are in the array. The code you have posted above is on the page, but the items are not posting to the database.

Hi danjen,
can you print the insert query like below and let me know

Thanks

Thanks for all of your help. The print statement showed the the SKU field was missing the single quotes on insert. When I added that in, the statement worked perfect!
