How to make this flexible?

[Anon]

Hi,

I have the following code and I am unable to make it flexible, in a sense that
I am unable to avoid writing all the possible conditions (i.e. if(...=1) if(...=2), etc...),
which is quite stupid since I don't know in advance how many items there will be.
In other words, to be safe, I would have to go until 100... damned, that would suck!

$i = 0;
while ... {
$i++;

while($c = mysql_fetch_array($PriceResult))
{
if($enter1) {
$price1 = $c["price"];
session_register("price1");
}
if($enter2) {
$price2 = $c["price"];
session_register("price2");
}

... until

if($enterX) {
$priceX = $c["price"];
session_register("priceX");
}

}

if($i== '1' && $enter1) { echo("The price is: " . $price1) }
if($i== '2' && $enter2) { echo("The price is: " . $price2) }
... until
if($i== 'X' && $enterX) {echo("The price is: " . $priceX) }

<form name=\"formName1\" METHOD=POST>
<select name="selectName1" onChange="show()">
...
</select>
<select name="selectName2">
...
</select>
<select name="selectName3">
...
</select>
<?
print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Montrer le prix\" name=\"enter$i\">\n";
?>
</form>

}

Here, I named the submit button "enter$i".
Basically, I would like to the script to look a bit like:

...
if($enter.$i) {
$price.$i = $c["price"];
session_register("price.$i");
}

if($i== 'actual $i value' && $enter.$i) { echo("The price is: " . $price.$i) }

Is there a way to do that???
Shall I name my submit button differently?

Thanks in advance!!!

Put a link to the URL of what you want. I think this is easily fixed. But I want to know your end result

I'm not really sure what you're trying to do, but i have a feeling a php foreach{} loop will solve the problem.

I cannot use the URL and it looks like the foreach{} won't make the deal.

The reason why I can't use the URL is that the same page is loaded on every "submit",
plus the prices (which are session registered).

Maybe I should explain a bit more.
On a page, I have several products displayed.
The aim is to determine the price of each product, indenpendently from each other.

So, under each product, I have a form which end with:
print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Montrer le prix\" name=\"enter$i\">\n";
where $i is just anincrement.

So if the user tries to determine first the price of the second product, $enter2 will be set,
and then the price will be $price2.
This enables me to determine where to place the price on the template...

Right now, I am obliged to do it case by case as follows:

if(isset($enter1)) {
	$price1 = $prix["price"];
	session_register("price1");
	}
	elseif(isset($enter2)) {
$price2 = $prix["price"];
session_register("price2");
	}
	elseif(isset($enter3)) {
$price3 = $prix["price"];
session_register("price3");
	}
	... etc...

One of the reason for this is that I don't know how to loop the $enter value.
I would like to have something like:

if(isset($enter[$i])) {
$price[$i] = $prix["price"];
session_register("price[$i]");
}

Of course, the expression $enter[$i] doesn't work...

Then, to display the code, I have to do that kind of loop:
if(!isset($enter1) && $price1 && $i == '1') { ?>
<td class=normal><? print"$price1"; ?></td></tr>
<? }
if(!isset($enter2) && $price2 && $i == '2') { ?>
<td class=normal><? print"$price2"; ?></td></tr>
<? }
if(!isset($enter3) && $price3 && $i == '3') { ?>
<td class=normal><? print"$price3"; ?></td></tr>
<? }
... etc ...

So here, I have a new problem due to the fact that I cannot say something like:
if(!isset($enter[$i]) && $price[$i] && $i = $i) { ...

I tried a lot of things, but could not find any solution...
help would be greatly appreciated!!!
