    <p>One called Job and the other is called Attributes. The Attributes table depend on the Job table because One table can have a lot of Attributes. The job table contains several fields, namely </p> <blockquote> <p>Jobid(auto increment, PRIMARY KEY), JobName, Jobdescription</p> </blockquote> <p>The Attributes table contains the following fields</p> <blockquote> <p>id(auto increment, PRIMARY KEY, AttribName, Score, Jobid(Foreign Key from the Job Table).</p> </blockquote> <p>The number of attributes to be entered per job varies, therefore one job can have 10 attributes, while the other job may have 2, 3,4, etc attributes.</p> <p>The following is the code I created before I got stuck.</p> <p>Insert_job.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include 'html/head.php';//connect to connect to the database and initialize all functions include 'scripts/functions/init.php';

foreach($_POST as $key=&gt;$value) { if (empty($value) &amp;&amp; in_array($key,$R_fields)=== true) { $errors[] = 'fields marked with (*) are required'; break 1; } } if(empty($errors)=== true) { if($_POST['DirectorateName'] == '------ select ------') { $errors[] ='Please select Directorate Name'; } if($_POST['Attributes'] == '-select-') { $errors[] ='Please Select the Number of Attributes'; } } } include 'html/job_insert.php'; //Check if the form is not empty then submit details if(empty($_POST) === false &amp;&amp; empty($errors)=== true) { //store input into the session variables $_SESSION['JobName'] = $_POST['JobName']; $_SESSION['JobDesc'] = $_POST['JobDesc']; //Store the number of attributes to get captured $_SESSION['Attributes'] = $_POST['Attributes']; //redirect header('Location: Rank.php'); exit(); } else if(empty($errors) === false) { //output errors if the errors array is not empty echo output($errors); } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- div class entry ends here --&gt;

include 'html/footer.php'; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>You will notice that I store all input into session variables and carry it to the next page where I will insert everything at once into the two tables.</p> <p>The following code is for Rank.php</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include 'scripts/functions/init.php';

$JobDesc = $_SESSION['JobDesc']; $JobDuties = $_SESSION['JobDuties']; $RProcess = $_SESSION['RecruitmentProcess']; $SPackage = $_SESSION['SPackage']; $DName = $_SESSION['DirectorateName']; //Store user input Job details into an array $job_array = array( 'JobName' =&gt;$JobName, 'JobDesc'=&gt;$JobDesc, 'JobDuties' =&gt;$JobDuties, 'RecruitmentProcess'=&gt;$RProcess, 'SPackage'=&gt;$SPackage, 'DirectorateName'=&gt;$DName);

} </code></pre> <blockquote> <p>//output the forms to the screen include 'html/Rank.php';</p> </blockquote> <p>The following is an example of how I store user input into an array</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action = "" method ="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;?php if($Number == 10) { echo '&lt;table border="0"&gt;'; echo '&lt;th&gt;'.'Attribute'.'&lt;/th&gt;'; echo '&lt;th&gt;'.'Score'.'&lt;/th&gt;'; //Print the first row of the result set echo '&lt;tr&gt;'; //First Form echo '&lt;td&gt;'.'&lt;input type="text" size="35" name="attributes[]"&gt;'.'&lt;/td&gt;'; echo '&lt;td&gt;'.'&lt;select id="select1" name ="Score[]"&gt; &lt;option&gt;-select-&lt;/option&gt;

echo '&lt;/tr&gt;'; </code></pre> <p>Basically I am storing user input into array called Attributes and another Array Called Score. insertion of the job details into the job table works fine, but now I need to insert information contained in the Attributes and Score array into the mysql database.

    1. COThere are so many problems with this code that it's difficult to help. First of all: sanitize input before inserting data into database. Don't include code in the middle of a script. Prepare your libraries and include them. Try to separate html output from php logic.

    2. COI have a function I use to sanitize input, but I do that in a different script then call the function on this script.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
