hi. Webmaster.

I have about 15 form fields,

I created it with a loop. And assigned different names. Like item1, item2, ...

when entering the form, the user is free to enter any of the 15 fields, he may choose to enter just 5 or maybe the 15.

When he enter maybe the five I will collect those five and and prompt them to enter other values for the value the already entered.
Let's say U are asked to enter
name of books you have read.

You will then be asked to enter the price you bought the books.

//I have succesfully achieve the above.

What I want to achieve now is:

How I could get the inputs for any of the form fields that is filled.

I tried to use loop to load the posted values.
But it is not working.

Because I want to do the validation.

I will like to know how to load any of filled fields into an array.

Or if there is a way to go about It.

Dual Core, et al.

are you using javascript or php or both

PHP

sunday478: PHP

U'll need to get the name attribute from the input. For example

<Input type="text" name="arr" id="doe" />

If u want to get the name attribute in php use either $_GET[your name attr here] or $_POST[your name attr here]

$_GET['arr']; or $_POST['arr'];

Since u're using PHP u'll use a database, so u'll have to write it into the database.

for example:

<?php

$name = ['sunday', 'monday'];



$item = array_push($name, $_GET['arr']);

echo '<pre>',print_r($name),'</pre>';

?>
<br />
<hr>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<form action="basic.php" method='GET'>
<input type="text" name="arr" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

it grabs the input and adds it to the $name array the only problem is once you hit submit the page refreshes so it doesn't append/add it to the array. as in it changes what's in that new input.

but its possible to add/append it to a database or a file or both.

but its possible in javascript...

Problem i have with problem solving is actually understanding the problem. Whenever I do, the rest is just a matter of time.

Now to your question, the thing is, I dont understand it.

But when i intend to get values of fileds returned in a loop.
I do it like this:

First the field is named like this: <input type="text" name="price[]" /> * hope you see the [], thats where the trick is.

With the [] above in the 'name' attribute of the field, you are already putting it in array.

*** Now, $_POST['price'] is an array which you can then manipulate like any other array value.

Am I missing something?

U will have to use a database to achieve this

What tou requested for, coded with Javascript,
NOTE: seperate book names with commas!

---

<input type="text" value="english book, math book" id="books">
<button onClick="askprice()">Enter price!</button>

<script>
function askprice(){
var inp = document.getElementById("books".value;

var splitin = inp.split(",";
var pricearray = new Array(splitin.length);

//prompt for the price

for(i=0;i<splitin.length;i++){
pricearray[i] = prompt("How much for " +splitin[i],"₦";
}
for(p=0;p<pricearray.length;p++){
alert(splitin[p] +" costs "+pricearray[p] +"₦";
}
}


</script>

Thanks Guys, have solved the problem

sunday478: Thanks Guys, have solved the problem

tell us how..

jumox: tell us how..

The field I wanted to post from was enabled. I previously disabled it, but I wanted to get the value it was carrying.

I guess the fault was on my part stating the actuall problem.

jumox: tell us how..

God help me to be able to explain this.

I tried to explain if it makes any sense.

What i did was that, I created 15 text fields with a for loop.

The form was recursive

So i said
If the submit button is not set it should create the form{15 txt field}

After submiting the the form, it must have been set now, so I tried to collect the only the field that was filled.

Mind you, I have also used the name the fields with the help of the loop. i.e app1, app2, ... App15

\\ so i said if the field is not empty, it should
Do a for loop and get was was posted in any of the 15 fields,
so in that case if the user decide to fill 10 fields I will just collect those 10 and and give him or her another form to filled based on the 10 fields which were filled.

there fore I will collect the value into another text field, to enable me post it to another page so that I can do calculation based on both the app and the number enter for the app.

That was when my problem came. I disabled the field that already has value, because I dont want the user to edit what he or she has already enter again.
e.g
the app field is disabled but you will have to enter a number value for the app.

App1(field) number(field)
App2(field) number(field) etc

You have succeeded in confusing us rather than convincing us. . .

dhtmlx2: You have succeeded in confusing us rather than convincing us. . .

Yes, I admit to that.
Maybe I will just have to paste the code them comment on it.

okay
