Question

I want to insert value to multiple database from Textarea, example i enter value to textarea and submit :
1|Vo Huu Nhan 1
2|Vo huu Nhan 2
3|Vo Huu Nhan 3
After submit i want insert value before "|" to column tap and value after "|" to column player
My code :
<form action="Post.php" method="POST">
<textarea name="tapphim"></textarea>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/></form>
Please help me create Post.php file right way

Answer 1

Firstly which programming language are you using?
For all programming languages, the concept is similar.
Take the input text from the textarea , then explode the '|' out of it ....then it becomes an array .
After that insert the first value of the array into the tap column then the other one into the players column.
The expression might look like this:
array[0] into tap column,
array[1] into players column
But i will like to know the programming language you want to use in achieving this
I hope it enlightens you.
Since you are using php
`if(isset($_POST['tapphim']) && !empty($_POST['tapphim'])
{
$textAreaInput = explode("|", $_POST['tapphim']);
$tapValue = $textAreaInput[0];
$playerName = $textAreaInput[1];
$sql = mysqli_query($con,"insert into
playersTble(tap,players)
values('$textAreaInput','$playerName");
if($sql){
echo "data saved!";
}
}`
i Hope this solves your problem.
Make sure you read about sanitizing input in PHP

Answer 2

Try this,
if(isset($_POST['tapphim'])){
$lineSplit=explode("\n", $_POST['tapphim']);
foreach ($lineSplit as $line) {
$splitArr=explode("|", $line);
$fieldOne=$splitArr[0];
$fieldTwo=$splitArr[1];
// insert to db
}
}
You may want to use htmlspecialchars($_POST['tapphim']) or mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['tapphim']) to clear post variables from dangerous characters for security reasons especially if you don't use PDO connection to connect your database.
