Sending multiple items via a single form field

Hi there everyon,



I have a set of form fields dynamically generated but each item must contain
2 pieces of data - the input from the field AND the id that the input
represents from the DB. I had this info a while back but had a major HD
crash and lost the info I had, how can I do this easily in PHP?



Hopefully an easier to understand scenario:



I have a form with - example - 5 items listed, each item from the DB and you
select ONE item only out of the list, when you submit the form it sends the
input from the field you select BUT I also need it to send an addition bit
of info in the form of $id so that on the processing page, I can extract
both the ID and the data entered from a single field. Obviously I can't use
a hidden field for this so the data has to be tacked-on to the input field
somehow?



Any help would save my life :-)



Chris

Re: Sending multiple items via a single form field

You could just seperate the data in the field's value with a delimeter like |
or something you wouldn't see in the data, then explode() based on that?

What kind of field are you using? Your explanation is very vague.

You mean like this:

In the display area of the script, using the ubiquitous while $myrow =
mysql_fetch_array($result), sub_key being the SUBscriber_KEY :

print( '');
// rest of record - name, etc., then repeat

and as I was using this for a bulk delete, up top in the processing section:

//
// Bulk Delete
//
if ($chkdelete && $bulkdelete){
foreach ($chkdelete as $value){
$sql = "delete from subscriber where sub_key = '$value'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
}
echo "

storing unicode characters in mysql database

Hi,

I'd like to know what would be the best way to store Unicode text in a
database. I am using MySQL 4.1.
I am trying to create a multi-lingual CMS and the browser charset is set to
utf-8 and the database and tables are set to UTF8 and utf8_bin for charset
and collation.

While displaying in the browser, Thai text is displayed correctly but it is
stored as html code in the database.
Is this correct behaviour or is there a better way?

It fetches a row of a result as an associative array (hash), the same as
mysql_fetch_array($retval,MYSQL_ASSOC).
