web_designer_iq

Hi
I have this code:

<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="firstName[]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="fatherName[]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="grandFatherName[]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="familyName[]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="companyCode[]" type="text" size="4"  maxlength = "50" /></td>

How can i get the values of the arrays?
This code isn't working:

echo $_POST['firstName'][$i];

Any Idea?

how many elements you have:

$howmany=count($_POST['firstName']);

how to get the elements?

for($i=0;$i<$howmany;$i++)
{
echo "firstName: " . $_POST["firstName"][$i];
echo "xxxxxxxxxxxx: " . $_POST["xxxxxxxxx"][$i]; //... +n
}

Thanks :-)
But is not working !!

		for ($i = 1; $i <= sizeof($_POST['firstName']); $i++)
		{
			echo $_POST["firstName"][$i];
		}

my code is workin 🙂

the arrays numbered from 0, not 1..

$howmany=count($_POST['firstName']);
for($i=0;$i<$howmany;$i++)
{
echo "firstName: " . $_POST["firstName"][$i];

}

you're welcome,
don't forget to set this thread as resolved.

you dont need the count if you use foreach()

foreach($_POST["firstName"] as $fname)
{
echo "firstName: " . $fname;

}

I'd suggest different names for the fields

<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="record['.$id.'][firstname]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="record['.$id.'][fathername]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="record['.$id.']grandfathername]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="record['.$id.'][familyname]" type="text" size="13" maxlength = "50" /></td>
<td class="'.$row_color.'"><input name="record['.$id.'][companycode]" type="text" size="4"  maxlength = "50" /></td>

assuming you've got a better name for all the fields in a row than "record" and you've got a variable that you can use for $id that's meaningful.

foreach($_POST['record'] as $id=>$record)
{
    echo "firstName: ".$record['firstname'];
}
