Submitting (Editing) multiple rows in a form

gaurav_095

hello,

i am having a problem related to form submission(not a simple form submission)
b4 reading plz open this URL to have an idea of what i am talking about

http://www.myshadi.com/temp/ball_info_temp.php

as u can see in that page there are 2 rows(that varies according to the results i am getting from a previous page) ; and each row is having a lot of fields (dont worry abt that).

Now what in that page is getting displayed is different parameters of a ball (actually its a bowling ball) and they came already selected according to the ball name and its ID from MySQL database.

ITS a MULTIPLE EDITING of BALLS
the thing i want in this page is when i edit one or more ball parameters (or i can do no changes in that too) and when i submit that whole PAGE how can i pass the parameters to the next processing page where all the data i can gather and then save according to the ball name into the MySQL database

i think u have got my problem
can u suggest me something
thanks

You're on the right track with the way you've named the input fields... eg. ball_1 name_1, ball_2 name_2

Now at the end, add a hidden field that has the number of rows that are being edited. In the current example it'd be <input type=hidden name=total_rows value=2>

Then in the processing page, get the total_rows value and make a loop:

for($i = 1; $i <= $total_rows; $i++)
{
  $name = $_POST['name_' . $i];
  $size =  $_POST['ballsize_' . $i];
  //etc.

 //SQL Update query
}

Just had another quick look and the form action is point to a coldfusion page on a different domain, so I don't know if this will help... :bemused:
