Hi I'm a novice PHP developer to say the least and I'm pretty stuck.
I'm trying to get the below code working I know I need a foreach loop or similar but I'm way out of my depth, I'm really not sure how to get this working, I know to most of you this is basic stuff but I'm lost.
Basically this is a receipt when a tab is settled. It searches the MySql Database for the relevant items and should print them on the receipt.
I know the MySql Query is not linked to the output at the bottom but I don't know how to do it.
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Receipt</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$invoicenum = $_POST['invoicenum'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$netrev=$invoicenum - 1;
?>
Items:
<?
$itemQuery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sales WHERE invoicenum = '$netrev' AND tabname = '$name'");
$result = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($itemQuery))
{
$result[] = $row['itemname'];
}
echo json_encode($result);
$amounts = json_decode($result['amounts']);
$items = json_decode($result['items']);
$prices = json_decode($result['prices']);
?>
<br>
<?
for ($i = 0; $i < count($items); $i++)
{
echo $amounts[$i] . "x " . $items[$i] . " - " . $prices[$i] . "<br>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>I've removed code that isn't relevant to this array, if you can help I'd be forever grateful.
</div>
no need of encode and decode.
$itemQuery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sales WHERE invoicenum = '$netrev' AND tabname = '$name'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($itemQuery))
{
echo $row['amounts'] . "x " . $row['items'] . " - " . $row['prices'] . "<br>";
}
?>
Forget all json_decode/encode after filling $result then:
First do:
$result[] = $row;
Then:
foreach ($result as $set){
echo $set['amount'] . "x " . $set['itemname'] . " - " . $set['price'] . "<br>";
#do var_dump($set); here for checking the keys
}
