Form data

Beffic

Ok so I have never done php operations with <select> and <option> tags.

I am not sure how I would transfer seprit data such as the $Ores[Strength] to the above section of the code. I have added comments and it would probably be easier to read from the bottom comments first. I have it explained a little more within the script.

So any help would be great! Thanks!

<?php
[...]
$Smith=$_POST[Smith];

if($Smith){
 $Oreused=$_POST['ores'];

 if($Item['Name']=="Hammer" AND $Item['Equipped']=="yes"){
 print "You used<br>$Oreused <br><br>$Ores[Name] $Oreused[Strength]"; //Where the problem is located
 }else{
 print "You must Equip/buy a hammer before you can Smith.";
 }

}else{


print "<form method=\"POST\" action=\"smithery.php?ores\">";
print "Use(Ore):<br>";
print "(Name, +Strength, +Constitution, +Dexterity, +Intelligence, +Concentration)<br>";
print "<select name=\"ores\">";//Ores
$Orequery2=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ores WHERE Owner='$Player'") or die("Could not get ores 101");
while($Ores=mysql_fetch_array($Orequery2))
{

print "<option>$Ores[Name] - +$Ores[Strength] +$Ores[Constitution] +$Ores[Dexterity] +$Ores[Intelligence] +$Ores[Concentration]</option>"; //Data I want it to transfer sepritly so that it will show sepritly like strength and such...
}

print "</select><br><br>";//end ores
[...]
print "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Smith\" value=\"Smith\"></form>";

}

?>

print "You used<br>$Oreused <br><br>$Ores[Name] $Oreused[Strength]";

this is right out wrong. You used $Oreused as an scalar value and as an array in the same string. Not sure what this was supposed to show so I don't know how to make it right

print "<option>$Ores[Name] - +$Ores[Strength] +$Ores[Constitution] +$Ores[Dexterity] +$Ores[Intelligence] +$Ores[Concentration]</option>";

this completely wrong as well. First, you're simply showing all the parameters of the ore on the select box, such thing is useless if you don't parse it afterwards. Second, on a select box that relates to a registry on the database, if you're relying on more than a single id, it's wrong, and will open your system for hackers.
This line should not show anything more than this:

echo '<option value="'.$ore['id'].'>'.htmlspecialchars ($ore['name']/* you can put any extra info here */).'</option>';

I guess you are not understanding my problem. I didn't ask what the correct syntax was cause all this works fine for me. I am asking how to $_POST data such as $Ores['Strength'] so that when the player trys to smith I can set it up to add the stats seperatly into the armor or weapon.
