[RESOLVED] help with script to email values up to 240 fields

[Jodarecode]

Issue:
it wont display the values when emailed, I modified the script below but I think I'm doing something wrong.

the fields consist of:

1st row: textbox_r1_c1, textbox_r1_c2, textbox_r1_c3, textbox_r1_c4, textbox_r1_c5, textbox_r1_c6, textbox_r1_c7, textbox_r1_c8, textbox_r1_c9
2nd row: textbox_r2_c1 through textbox_r2_c9
3rd row: textbox_r3_c1 through textbox_r3_c9
4th row: textbox_r4_c1 through textbox_r4_c9
5th row: textbox_r5_c1 through textbox_r5_c9
and so on up to 240
240th row: textbox_r240_c1 through textbox_r240_c9

$numrows = count($_POST['textbox_r1_c1']); // number of rows ;) will always be accurate...

for($a = 0; $a < $numrows; $a++) {
  $emptyrow = true;
  $temp[] = '<tr>';
  for($b = 0; $b < 9; $b++) {

       $temp[] = '<td align="right">' . $_POST['textbox_r'.$a'_c'.$b] . '</td>';
       if($_POST['textbox_r'.$a'_c'.$b] != '')
          $emptyrow = false;
  }
  
  $temp[] = '</tr>';
  if($emptyrow == false)
    $out[] = implode($temp, '');
  unset($temp);
}

$msg .= implode($out, '');

what if text box names used as array,

<input type="textbox_r1[]"> in all nine locations, so at form processing page,

foreach($textbox_r1 as $r1)
{
.....

}

For your requirement sometimes multi-dimentional array names may help, but I havent used that before ..

<input type="textbox[0][]">
.
.
<input type="textbox[239][]">

I'm trying to avoid the brackets if at all possible since certain codes are dependent on no brackets.

I found a solution but I'm back to the beginning with an old question again.

I need all the empty rows to not show when emailed or printed and to only show non empty values in there respected columns only.

foreach($_POST as $key => $val){
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c1/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<tr><td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c2/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c3/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c4/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c5/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c6/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c7/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c8/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td>";
  };
  if(preg_match("/textbox_r\d+\_c9/", $key)){
    $msg .= "<td>$val</td></tr>";
  };
};

You have some errors in your code

Fixed

$numrows = count($_POST['textbox_r1_c1']); // number of rows ;) will always be accurate...

for($a = 0; $a < $numrows; $a++) {
  $emptyrow = true;
  
  $temp[] = '<tr>';
  for($b = 0; $b < 9; $b++) {

       $temp[] = '<td align="right">' . $_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] . '</td>'; // Error after $a no . for line concat
       if($_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] != '') // Same error as above
          $emptyrow = false;
  }
  
  $temp[] = '</tr>';
  if($emptyrow == false)
    $out[] = implode($temp, '');
  unset($temp);
}

$msg .= implode($out, '');

OK, fixed that [EDIT:] Thats funny I just saw that!! I'll re-step through it Thanks!

Now it pushes the values one TD to the right leaving a blank TD in the beginning and extending the 9th TD into the 10th column, Why would this be happening? any ideas?

$numrows = count($_POST['textbox_r1_c1']);
for($a = 0; $a <= 240; $a++) {
  $emptyrow = true;
  $temp[] = '<tr>';
  for($b = 0; $b <= 9; $b++) {
       $temp[] = '<td align="right">' . $_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] . '</td>';
       if($_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] != '')
          $emptyrow = false;
  }
  $temp[] = '</tr>';
  if($emptyrow == false)
    $out[] = implode($temp, '');
  unset($temp);
}
$msg .= implode($out, '');

I seem to of replaced numrows with 240 and added the dots and seems to be working fine except the same problem as earlier with the whole row pushed one TD to the right.

for($a = 0; $a <= 240; $a++) {
  $emptyrow = true;
  $temp[] = '<tr>';
  for($b = 0; $b <= 9; $b++) {
       $temp[] = '<td align="right">' . $_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] . '</td>';
       if($_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] != '')
          $emptyrow = false;
  }
  $temp[] = '</tr>';
  if($emptyrow == false)
    $out[] = implode($temp, '');
  unset($temp);
}
$msg .= implode($out, '');

Resolved!

needed to change

 for($b = 0; $b <= 9; $b++) 

to

 for($b = 1; $b <= 9; $b++) 

for($a = 0; $a <= 240; $a++) {
  $emptyrow = true;
  $temp[] = '<tr>';
  for($b = 1; $b <= 9; $b++) {
       $temp[] = '<td align="right">' . $_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] . '</td>';
       if($_POST['textbox_r'.$a.'_c'.$b] != '')
          $emptyrow = false;
  }
  $temp[] = '</tr>';
  if($emptyrow == false)
    $out[] = implode($temp, '');
  unset($temp);
}
$msg .= implode($out, '');
