Dynamic Forms

[apatel]

Hi,

I am trying to get information out of a dynamic form.
Here is what i am trying to do..

1) The first page (page1.php) has to text boxes in it, which enables the user to type in a X value and a Y value.
Then the user clicks submit.

This page i have working

2) The next page (page2.php) takes the previos two value for X & Y and generates another form with X number of boxes going across and Y Rows down. Thus creating a spreadsheet type page.

The columns are labled a-z, and the rows are labled 1 - 100... etc. Exactly like in excel.

This form also works.

3) The next page (page3.php) needs take this data and add it to a string. The problem i am having is that because the form is dymaicly created, i can't work out how to read the data.

Any help would be great.

Thanks in Advance,

Anand

if you give the names of the fields of your spreadsheet form with numbers you can collect all the information with a loop by useing variable variables...

in such way..

I'm supposing that you gave field names like field_rownum_colnum

for ( $i=0 ;$i<$x ;$i++)
{
for ( $j=0; $j<$y ; $y++)
{
array[$i][$j]=$(field.$i.$j);
}
}

'variable variables' = multidimensional arrays? 🙂

Yup - giving form inputs '[]'s at the end makes PHP place them in an array before passing them to the script, which is all well and good for us lazy coders.

You can make each input field something like if$x$y as a name and then call that value from globals in page3. (print($GLOBALS["if$x$y"])😉
