I am trying to update multiple rows on submit of a form (in particular this one is the "hours" field.
I have it working but only one of the value updates vs all of them.
There is the possibility of having different values for each update.
The form code:
$query2 = "select * FROM work_hours WHERE formid = $formid ";
$result = $mysqli->query( $query2 );
$num_results = $result->num_rows;
if( $num_results > 0){
echo " <table border='0' align='center'>
<tr>
<td colspan='2' align='center'>
<strong> Time Away Break Down</strong>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align='center'>Date</td>
<td align='left'>Hours</td>
</tr>";
while( $row = $result->fetch_assoc() ){
extract($row);
echo " <tr>
<td class='hidden_sm' align='center'>
<input type='text' name='id' size='10' value='$id' class='dept' readonly style='width:30px;'>
<input type='text' name='date' size='40' value='$date' class='dept' readonly> <input type='text' name='end_date' size='40' value='$end_date' class='dept' readonly>
</td>
<td class='hidden_sm' align='left' >
<input type='text' name='hours' size='10' style='width:30px;' value='$hours' class='dept' >
</td>
</tr>
";
}
echo "<tr>
<td colspan='2' align='center'>
<input type='submit' name='Submit' value='Submit Request'>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>";//end table
Submit Code:
$id = $_POST['id'];
$formid = $_POST['formid'];
$hours = $_POST['hours'];
include 'connect-db.php';
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("UPDATE work_hours SET hours = ? WHERE formid = ?");
$stmt->bind_param('si',
$_POST['hours'],
$_POST['formid']);
$stmt->execute();
if ( $stmt ) {
echo "<p align='center'>Thank you, this request has been approved.<BR>You will be redirected in 5 seconds</p>";
} else {
echo "Error, you status cannot be updated. <BR> Please contact your system administrator.";
}
$stmt->close();
?>
Could anyone point me in the right direction to have all values update on submit, as I have had zero luck.
As well I do understand the need to prevent SQL Injections, and that I am working, so no need to remind me.
Thanks in advance!
