Multidimentional arrays

[agmorgan]

Hi..

I am attempting create a program to allow me to create Purchase orders. In a database i have a list of products and supplying companies. The idea is I choose a company on page 1, click submit and it gives me a list of products that realte to that company, PLUS I include a check bos against each returned line, Plus a text box that will allow me to enter in what quantity of the said product I require. The problem being I will want to order numerous items from the Supplier.

I have created the list using the below all within a form

$query1 = "SELECT * FROM ALIPROD WHERE APSup = '$ASco'";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die ("Couldn't get the ASLISUP list");

echo "<table>";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
extract ($row);
echo "<tr> <td> <input type='checkbox' name='interest[$APref] value='$textfield[$vol]'> $APref\n </td><td> <input type='text' name='textfield' value1='$vol'> </td><td>$APcode</td><td> $APname </td></tr>\n";

}
echo "</table>\n"; ?>

I click submit to take my choices the the next page (Which I will eventually use to update the PO database).

When I have made my choices I click to move to the next screen where I have the following script.

echo "<table border=1>";

foreach ( $_POST[interest] as $field => $value)

{
	 echo"<tr><td>$field</td><td>$value</td></tr>";
}

echo "</table>";

The OUtput gives me a table

column 1 I get the row number that I chose (which is good) Column2 prints the word ' ON' (not good).. What I want is the Volume I ordered in the text box. But for the life of me I don't get it..

After two days reading and trying to get my head around it I have decided to ask.

What do I need to do to achieve my goal.

To start with, fix the typos in your HTML: you're missing a quote from [font=monospace]name='interest[$APref][/font] and you've misnamed one of the attributes in your text input: [font=monospace]value1='$vol'[/font].

It would probably also be a good idea to give your text field a more useful name instead of [font=monospace]textfield[/font]. Say [font=monospace]volume[$APref][/font].

Thanks,
I altered the first page :-

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{
extract ($row);
echo "<tr> <td> <input type='checkbox' name='interest[$APref]' value=''> $APref\n </td><td> <input type='text' name='volume[$APref]'> </td><td>$APcode</td><td> $APname </td></tr>\n";

}

However what do I do to get both numbers up on the second page. THe following gives me the choices no problems. But not the volume. I assume I have to referance it to the aray but not sure how.

foreach ( $_POST[interest] as $field => $value)

{
	 echo"<tr><td>$field</td><td>$value</td></tr>";
}

It would be

$_POST['volume'][$field]

; and [font]$_POST[interest][/font] should be [font=monospace]$_POST['interest'][/font].
