I'm trying to write html5 and PHP for a form that the user can fill out. When they hit submit, I want there to be an overall evaluation category that every 5 columns are grouped under that I can retrieve also. For example:
<parameters>
<parameterID>9214</parameterID>
<parameter>MC Bands</parameter>
<Yevaluation/>
<Mevaluation/>
<Cevaluation/>
<Kevaluation/>
<comments/>
</parameters>
<parameters>
<parameterID>9245</parameterID>
<parameter>MC Streaks</parameter>
<Yevaluation/>
<Mevaluation/>
<Cevaluation/>
<Kevaluation/>
<comments/>
</parameters>
I'm having trouble getting this into the form and input table so I can retrieve it later for the category ID. I was going to go for a hidden cell, but it's sticking the value in the first table cell.
This is in table.php:
<form method="get" action="visEupload.php">
<table id="bigTable" border="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<th id="bandY" class="col3">Bands @263mm Y</th>
<th id="bandM" class="col3">Bands @263mm M</th>
<th id="bandC" class="col3">Bands @263mm C</th>
<th id="bandK" class="col3">Bands @263mm K</th>
<th id="Comments" class="col3">Comments</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input name="MCBands" value="9214" id="MCBands" visibility=hidden> <!--this isn't showing up as hidden-->
<td><input name="Yevaluation" ></td> //Row 0 Column 1
<td><input name="Mevaluation" ></td> //Row 0 Column 2
<td><input name="Cevaluation" ></td> //Row 0 Column 3
<td><input name="Kevaluation" ></td> //Row 0 Column 4
<td><input name="comment" ></td> //Row 0 Column 4
<!--the above rows will repeat with different id's/names/values/cells, ex. streaks and will be really wide-->
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<input id="submit" type="submit" class="list" name="submit" value="Submit To Database" >
</form>
I'm having trouble finding a good example with table data submitted with a form. I saw this but it's different html tables .
After I hit submit, I'm retrieving it like this in visEupload.php, but maybe there's a better way to do it given the extra parameterID I'm adding in every few rows:
if (isset($_GET['submit'])){
$Yevaluation= $_GET['Yevaluation'];
$Mevaluation= $_GET['Mevaluation'];
$Cevaluation= $_GET['Cevaluation'];
$Kevaluation= $_GET['Kevaluation'];
$MCBands= $_GET['MCBands'];
$comment=$_GET['comment'];
echo "here:".$Yevaluation.$Mevaluation.$Cevaluation.$Kevaluation.$MCBands.$comment;
echo "here1";
echo ("visE upload requested");
} //submit is set
