[RESOLVED] Capturing array data from $_POST

[vjmehra]

I have a form with an update button (btnupdate), which, when clicked triggers the php script 'select_issue3'php'. This is the section of code that I'm struggling with:

if (isset($_POST["btnupdate"]))
{
include_once('reduced_view_issues.php');

foreach ($_POST["issueid"] as $sKey =>$iLine) {

$test=$_POST['issueid'][$iLine];

echo $test;

var_dump($_POST);

}

What I was hoping to do here, is, for each array posted, align each row[0] so that issueid[0] corresponds to randomfieldname[0] and so on.

In the code so far, I was just trying to see if my approach was working, hence it only has the one field.

The above code returns nothing, although the data is posting, as per the var_dump below:

array(40) { ["btnupdate"]=> string(11) "Update Bond" ["bonddescription2"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(16) "RBS 7.000 8/2023" } ["issueid"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(2) "87" } ["notes"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["currency_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "1" } ["coupon"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(5) "7.000" } ["coupon_type_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "1" } ["coupon_frequency_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "2" } ["day_count_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "4" } ["price_to_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "2" } ["quote_convention_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "2" } ["issuer_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "1" } ["guarantor_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "1" } ["sub_sector_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "1" } ["market_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "None Selected" } ["cusip"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(4) "TEST" } ["bloomberg_number"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(4) "TEST" } ["isin"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(10) "XSTESTISIN" } ["moody"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["fitch"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["sandp"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["capital_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "None Selected" } ["collateral_type_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "None Selected" } ["issue_benchmark_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "None Selected" } ["current_benchmark_id"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(13) "None Selected" } ["issue_swap_spread"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(6) "50.000" } ["issue_benchmark_spread"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(6) "60.000" } ["issue_price"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(6) "99.000" } ["coupon_step"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["announcement_date"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["interest_accrual_date"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["first_settle_date"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["first_coupon_date"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["maturity_date"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(10) "2023-08-09" } ["first_call_date"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["amount_issued"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(8) "10000000" } ["amount_outstanding"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(8) "10000000" } ["min_size"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["increment"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } ["par_amount"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(0) "" } }

As the data seems to be posting, presumably the error is in the way I am trying to capture and manipulate the data?

I'm hoping a kind soul is able to point out where my error(s) lie :-)

I don't know if this is the neatest way...but this seems to work:

if (isset($_POST["btnupdate"]))
{
include_once('reduced_view_issues.php');

$irow=0;
foreach ($_POST['issueid'] as $result) {

$issueid =$_POST['issueid'][$irow];
$bonddescription2=$_POST['bonddescription2'][$irow];

echo $issueid."-".$bonddescription2;

}
$irow++;

include_once('select_issue.php');

}
