Hello i want to save multiple form field value into MySQL database table using Yii2
with out writing any custom query code. My table structure is where id primary key, auto_incremented. My array structure is given below
Form field is
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td><?= $form->field($coordinatemodel,'lat_degree[]')->textInput(['placeholder'=>'Degree','data-validation'=>'required number','data-validation-error-msg'=>'*Required','required'=>'required'])->label('Degree')->label(false)?></td>
<td><?= $form->field($coordinatemodel,'lat_min[]')->textInput(['placeholder'=>'Minute','data-validation'=>'required number','data-validation-error-msg'=>'*Required','required'=>'required'])->label('Minute')->label(false)?></td>
<td><?= $form->field($coordinatemodel,'lat_second[]')->textInput(['placeholder'=>'Second','data-validation'=>'required number','data-validation-error-msg'=>'*Required','required'=>'required'])->label('Second')->label(false)?></td>
<td><?= $form->field($coordinatemodel,'long_degree[]')->textInput(['class'=>'form-control input-sm','placeholder'=>'Degree','data-validation'=>'required number','data-validation-error-msg'=>'*Required','required'=>'required'])->label('Degree')->label(false)?></td>
<td><?= $form->field($coordinatemodel,'long_min[]')->textInput(['class'=>'form-control input-sm','placeholder'=>'Minute','data-validation'=>'required number','data-validation-error-msg'=>'*Required','required'=>'required'])->label('Minute')->label(false)?></td>

There is an explanation on this from the docs on tabular input. You can alter your actionCreate
to include this.
First, you will need to create an array of models first to be populated:
$count = count(Yii::$app->request->post('CoordinateDetails', []));
$coordinateDetails = [new CoordinateDetail()];
for ($i = 1; $i < $count; $i++) {
$coordinateDetails[] = new CoordinateDetail();
}
You can then use loadMultiple and validateMultiple to populate and validate your models. You will however have to loop through your models in order to save them:
if (CoordinateDetail::loadMultiple($coordinateDetails, Yii::$app->request->post())
&& CoordinateDetail::validateMultiple($coordinateDetails)) {
foreach ($coordinateDetails as $coordinateDetail) {
//do any other thing here e.g. setting foreign keys
$coordinateDetail->save(false);
}
return $this->redirect('index');
}
else {
// do something for the error
}
I think you should use batchInsert Method:
\Yii::$app->db->createCommand()->batchInsert('yourtable', ['lat_degree','lat_min','lat_second',...],$CoordinatesDetail )
->bindValue(':id', 1)
->execute();
When i have these kind of scenario in my project then i use yii2-dynamicform extension which states:
It is widget to yii2 framework to clone form elements in a nested manner, maintaining accessibility.
Check it's demo here.
