Help with form post data and arrays

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

Hi all,

I am new to this forum... It has been awhile since i have worked with arrays, and i am starting to pull my hair out with this little issue i am having..

I hope someone can help me out with it, or even possibly show me a better way of doing this.

I am creating an web based hockey stats program for a ball hockey league.

I have a score sheet where they enter data. The score sheet gets constructed in a single form with a row for each player on the team. there are 12 players on each team so there will be 24 rows of data in the end.

I need to store each players game stats individually in a stats table where i can keep track of player game stats for each game.

here is the code for my form.

Code: while ($r_hmp = mysql_fetch_array($q_hm_play)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$r_hmp['jnum'] ."</td>";
echo "<td>".$r_hmp['lname'].", ".$r_hmp['fname']." ( ".$r_hmp['position'] ." )<input type='hidden' name='pid[]' value='".$r_hmp['id']."'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='gp[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='g[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='a[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='pns[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='pim[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='gw[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='pg[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='sg[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='pa[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='sa[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='soa[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='sog[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='psa[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='psg[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='mj[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='mc[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='gm[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='gr[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "<td><input type='text' name='mt[]' size='2' maxlength='2'></td>n";
echo "</tr>n";

one the score keeper clicks the save button i am trying to create a multi-leveld array where i store 24 rows of data
each row should hold the players id and his particular stats for the game.

i tried to setup my array so i could loop troug it using two counters $player[$i][$x] where i would be the count of the row and x being the stat data.

here is the code i have tried, and to no avail.... your help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am sure there is a simple solution to this, but i am stuck and can't seem to find any info that might point me in the right direction.

thanks in advance

Code: $hmpc = count($_POST['pid']);
$i = 0;
while ($i <= $hmpc) {
$player = array($_POST['pid'],array($_post['gp']);
$i++;
}
$i = 0;
$x=0;
echo $hmpc;

while ($i < $hmpc) {
while ($x < $hmpc) {
echo 'Player Data: '.$player[$i][$x];
$x++;
}
$i++;
