I have been banging my head against the wall with this one for nearly a week now, and am no closer than I was the first day.
I have a form that has 8 columns and a variable number of rows which I need to email to the client in a nicely formatted email. The form submits the needed fields as a multidimensional array. Rough example is below:
<input name="order[0][topdiameter]" type="text" id="topdiameter0" value="1" size="5" />
<input name="order[0][bottomdiameter]" type="text" id="bottomdiameter0" value="1" size="5" />
<input name="order[0][slantheight]" type="text" id="slantheight0" value="1" size="5" />
<select name="order[0][fittertype]" id="fittertype0">
<option value="harp">Harp</option>
<option value="euro">Euro</option>
<option value="bulbclip">Regular</option>
</select>
<input name="order[0][washerdrop]" type="text" id="washerdrop0" value="1" size="5" />
<select name="order[0][fabrictype]" id="fabrictype">
<option value="linen">Linen</option>
<option value="pleated">Pleated</option>
</select>
<select name="order[0][colours]" id="colours0">
<option value="beige">Beige</option>
<option value="white">White</option>
<option value="eggshell">Eggshell</option>
<option value="parchment">Parchment</option>
</select>
<input name="order[0][quantity]" type="text" id="quantity0" value="1" size="5" />
This form is formatted in a
table, and rows can be added to it dynamically. What I've been unable to do is get a properly formatted
table out of the array.
This is what I'm using now (grabbed from the net).
<?php
if (isset($_POST["submit"])) {
$arr= $_POST['order']
echo '<table>';
foreach($arr as $arrs)
{
echo '<tr>';
foreach($arrs as $item)
{
echo "<td>$item</td>";
}
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>;
};
?>
This works perfectly for a single row of data. If I try submitting 2 or more rows from the form then one of the columns disappears. I'd like the
table to be formatted as:
| top | Bottom | Slant | Fitter | Washer | Fabric | Colours | Quantity |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
|value| value | value | value | value | value | value | value |
with additional rows as needed. But, I can't find any examples that will generate that type of table!
It seems like this should be something fairly straightforward, but I just can't locate an example that works the way I need it too.
