I have a save.php
page that is being called using Ajax, it contains the following elements:
$q1 = $_POST["q1"];
$q2 = $_POST["q2"];
$q3 = $_POST["q3"];
$q4 = $_POST["q4"];
$q5 = $_POST["q5"];
$proc = mysqli_prepare($link, "INSERT INTO tresults
(respondent_id, ip, browser, company, q1, q2, q3, q4, q5)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?);");
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($proc, "issiiiii",
$respondent_id, $ip, $browser, $company,
$q1, $q2, $q3, $q4, $q5);
At the moment, the save.php
page is manually coded but I am sure there must be a way of using variable variables
to automate this page to a degree, especially when the number of fields exceeds 100 that I am saving to the database.
I am, however, having trouble getting my head around using variable variables
and could use some guidance.
I am have, to no avail, tried the following:
for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
echo '$q.$i = $_POST["q".$i];';
}
and also
for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
$q.$i = $_POST["q".$i];
}
Any and all advice welcomed.
Thanks.
