Is it possible to have a list/menu giving people the option to select several things, and put those selected options into one database field? I need to allow my users to list the types of jobs they wish to have mailed to them. They need to be able to select more than one option, and then the script will take the information passed by a new job posting, search that field for users who have choosen to get jobs such at the one just posted, and mail it to them. Make Sense?

I recently switched to PHP/MYSQL and this used to work fine when I used ASP/Access.

Here is my code:

<form name="form1" method="POST" action="<?php echo $editFormAction; ?>">
<font color="#666666" size="3">
<select name="Type" size="6" multiple>
<option selected>Choose One</option>
<option>Administrative</option>
<option>Designer</option>
<option>Technician</option>
<option>Director</option>
<option>Choreographers</option>
<option>Management</option>
<option>Musician</option>
<option>Internship</option>
<option>Office Staff</option>
<option>Writers Wanted</option>
<option>Volunteers</option>
<option>Educational</option>
<option>Large/Multiple Calls</option>
<option>Other / Misc.</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</font>
<input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1">
</form>

When I do this, it only places the last choosen one in the field. It must be possible, and I have scoured the web for two days looking for the answer.

problem is that you actually need to store these items in an array and then turn them into a comma seperated list.....

I will write you a bit of code tomorrow first thing.

<b>MySQL datatype SET</b> would be the choice to save comma-seperated values in one column (field), and as for HTML output a multiselect list/menu is prime for that.

Hope that helps. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

<b>Further detail:</b> you can send MySQL the string value or even a #, because internally MySQL stores an array for the SET values. <b>Example:</b> SET ('apples','oranges','plums')... you can INSERT/UPDATE and send 'apple,plums' or 0,2 as MySQL registers them the same. I would read more on MySQLs' site as they explain better - www.mysql.com .

I have done as you said:

MySql Field Setup
Type= set('Administrative','Designer','Technician','Director','Choreographer','Management','Musician','Internship','Office Staff','Writers Wanted','Volunteers','Educational','Large/Multiple Calls','Other / Misc.')

Html Form Code:
&lt;select name="Type" size="6" multiple class="forms" id="Type"&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Administrative&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Designer&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Technician&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Director&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Choreographers&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Management&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Musician&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Internship&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Office Staff&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Writers Wanted&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Volunteers&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Educational&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Large/Multiple Calls&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;option&gt;Other / Misc.&lt;/option&gt;
&lt;/select&gt;

It still only posts the last choice selected from the list/menu. I referenced the mysql site as you suggested, and believe I am following instructions.

I really apprecaite the help, as this has been driving me crazy for days now..

I have been researching some more, and yes it appears that it must be put into an array. I have done that much, but have no clue how to then out that array into the database. Your help will save my brain!!! You can view my page at this URL: theatreresourcegroup.org/staffing_main_jobs_direct_register_checkboxes.php

Can anyone help me with this? I didn't get the code as I was told I would. I am really stuck with my site creation until I can get this figured out...

This is a very late reply, but may be helpful to someone in the future. Basically, you can't really use DW's built-in behaviors to take a multiple select list and perform an insert record. You can, but only the last selection in the list will be inserted. In order to get all the multiple selections inserted into the database, you have to do some hand-coding.

First, you need to rename your form's select tag from name="Type" to name="Type[]". Putting those brackets in at the end of the name will make it so that when PHP receives the form contents it will turn them into an array. Then you have to take DW's usual insert record code and put it within a loop that loops through each of the array items. Here's an example:

// set it up
reset ($Type); // this sets the array pointer to the beginning of the array
mysql_select_db($database, $db);

// loop through array of Type[] and write each instance to db
while (list($key, $val) = each ($Type)) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO yourtable (yourfield) VALUES (%s)",
GetSQLValueString($val, "text");
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $db) or die(mysql_error());
} // end loop

Note that you also need to have the GetSQLValueString function on the page somewhere. DW automatically inserts this function whenever you do an insert record behavior. You can copy and paste it from another page if you like. Also be sure to have the include file to your connection settings somewhere on the page.

What value would I place in the "$key" ?
thx

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

I was starting to melt down with this issue.
After tons of articles, websites, forum searches and few thousands of other things, finally the answer!
It works, and my problem is solved!

PS: Why doesn't Adobe simplify this stuff on the next update or version of DW? Just a thought...

First, you need to rename your form's select tag from name="Type" to name="Type[]". Putting those brackets in at the end
of the name will make it so that when PHP receives the form contents it will turn them into an array. Then you have to take
DW's usual insert record code and put it within a loop that loops through each of the array items. Here's an example:

// set it up
reset ($languages); // this sets the array pointer to the beginning of the array
mysql_select_db($database, $db);

// loop through array of languages[] and write each instance to db
while (list($key, $val) = each ($languages)) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO users (languages) VALUES (%s)",
GetSQLValueString($val, "text");
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $db) or die(mysql_error());
} // end loop

Note that you also need to have the GetSQLValueString function on the page somewhere. DW automatically inserts this
function whenever you do an insert record behavior. You can copy and paste it from another page if you like.
Also be sure to have the include file to your connection settings somewhere on the page.

(I just emailed the following to Julian, but if anyone else has a solution, I would LOVE to hear!) Thanks!

Hi Julian!

About a year ago, you posted on a FWZone Forum a solution for uploading arrays to a database. I've found the information incredibly helpful, but am running into a small problem and was wondering if you had any ideas as to what I can do to fix it. I would be eternally grateful.

You posted the following:

I've done this on my page, and it looks like this:

reset($specialty);
mysql_select_db($database_connection, $connection);
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "memberinfo");
while (list($key, $val) = each ($specialty)) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO specialty_group (specialty, member_id) VALUES (%s,LAST_INSERT_ID())",
GetSQLValueString($val, "text",
GetSQLValueString($_REQUEST['member_id'], "int");

mysql_select_db($database_connection, $connection);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $connection) or die(mysql_error());

_____________________

My problem is this: the code performs perfectly, creating a new row in the table for each item selected in the list, along with their member_id. BUT, I get an error at the top of the page that reads

"Warning: reset() [function.reset]: Passed variable is not an array or object in /home/.alcuin/wiltern/aialosangeles.org/database/memberinfo.php on line 87

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/.alcuin/wiltern/aialosangeles.org/database/memberinfo.php on line 90"

I've tried to create an array using $specialty = array("adaptive reuse","art" and etc...
But it screws up how the data is entered and gives me the value "Array" in the database.

I love the result of your code, but don't know what to do to get rid of the pesky error message!

Any ideas you have would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
