i want to create a page where i can change values from ‘new members’ to ‘paid’ in bulk.
i created a form where you put in the ID number of the person then a drop down menu of the type of status the person is…
<form action="scripts/status.php"
method="post">
<table summary="edit_tables"
border="1">
<tr>
<td><b>ID Number:</b></td>
<td><input type="text"
name="ID1"
size="5" />
</td>
<td>
<select name="status1" value ="">
<option value='pending'>
pending
</option>
<option value='paid'>
paid
</option>
<option value='waiting'>
waiting
</option>
<option value='new'>
new
</option></select>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>ID Number:</b></td>
<td><input type="text"
name="ID2"
size="5" />
</td>
<td>
<select name="status2" value ="">
<option value='pending'>
pending
</option>
<option value='paid'>
paid
</option>
<option value='waiting'>
waiting
</option>
<option value='new'>
new
</option>
</select>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>ID Number:</b></td>
<td><input type="text"
name="ID3"
size="5" />
</td>
<td><select name="status3" value ="">
<option value='pending'>
pending
</option>
<option value='paid'>
paid
</option>
<option value='waiting'>
waiting
</option>
<option value='new'>
new
</option>
</select>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type="submit"value="Change Status" /></td>
</tr>
</table> now i want to apply these values to variables and upload them to the mysql database using the update set query…
<?php
include 'dbconfig.php';
$id_array[0] = $_POST["ID1"];
$id_array[1] = $_POST["ID2"];
$id_array[2] = $_POST["ID3"];
$status_array[0] = $_POST["status1"];
$status_array[1] = $_POST["status2"];
$status_array[2] = $_POST["status3"];but unsure what to do next, i thinking of using the…
mysql_query ("update members set PaidStatus = $status_array where id = $id_array")
or die(mysql_error()); function but i do not how to combine both status and ID array into one then execute them all through a query… any help?
