I have an html page that gets data from 'hs_hr_employee' table and lays the info in a table on a web page. Then I have another table 'rights' which gets info from 4 columns from the 'hs_hr_employee' table and stores them in columns. In addition to those 4, the 'rights' table has an extra column 'Permissions'.
Now, I have a combobox with 4 options. When I click the 'Save' button I want to store the value select in the combobox and save it in the 'rights' table in relation to the user.
The ComboBoxes under the Permissions column will save to the 'rights' table upon clicking the 'Save' button.
(Each user has a combobox next to it).
A MySQL query should insert data from hs_hr_employee table into rights table as well as the selected value from the combobox. So the employee_id, employee_num, Firstname, Lastname and ComboBox values should be saved to the 'rights' table. The hs_hr_employee table is only used to gather data from it, and not to save to it. Everything is written in the rights table when the 'Save' button is clicked.
I'm finding trouble when trying to insert the combobox data into the 'rights' table when clicking the Save button.
echo "<td> <select name='cb_permissions['".$row['emp_number']."'><option value='all'>All</option> <option value='remote'>Remote Gaming</option> <option value='landbased'>Landbased Gaming</option> <option value='general'>General Gaming</option> </select> </td>";This is the code so far:
<?php
$connection = mysql_connect('localhost','admin','root');
if( isset($_POST['submit']) )
{
if( isset( $_POST['cb_permissions'] ) && is_array( $_POST['cb_permissions'] ))
{
foreach( $_POST['cb_permissions'] as $emp_number => $permission)
{
$sql = "UPDATE `your_permission_table` SET permission='".mysql_real_escape_string($permission)."' WHERE emp_number='".mysql_real_escape_string($emp_number)."'";
echo __LINE__.": sql: {$sql}\n";
mysql_query( $sql );
}
}
}
?>
