    <p>So I know that Javascript is client-side and PHP is server-side and that complicates thing but I'm wondering how to go about doing this.</p> <p>I have an array in my javascript code (in a HTML file) and when the user hits my submit button I want the page to send over that array to my PHP page which will then take that date and put it into a SQL database.</p> <p>Is there a simple way to doing this? My array is declared like this <code>var markers = [];</code> it is just a variable in the javascript portion of the code. </p> <p>I've looked at a bunch of other posts concerning this but all the solutions will not fit what I need to do, or require WAY too much of a change for what I can do right now. I'm not really familiar with AJAX or JSON (not sure exactly what that is).</p> <p>My Javascript is:</p> <pre><code>var markers = []; function placeMarker(location) { var clickedLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(location); var name = document.getElementById("checkname").value; var description = document.getElementById("description").value; var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: location, map: map, title: name, // This may cause a problem when reloading and editing an existing tour // url was found at: http://biostall.com/adding-number-or-letters-to-google-maps-api-markers icon: 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&amp;chld=' + markerId + '|FE6256|000000' }); marker.setMap(map); markers.push([markerId, name, marker.getPosition().lat(), marker.getPosition().lng(), description]); //alert("" + markers); markerId = markerId + 1; } google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) { placeMarker(event.latLng); }); google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function() { map.removeOverlay(marker); marker.setMap(map); }); } window.onload = function() { var form = document.getElementById('theform'); form.addEventListener('submit', function(){ var markersField = document.getElementById('markers'); markersField.value = JSON.stringify(markers); }); } </code></pre> <p>My HTML is:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="portal.php" method="post" id="theform"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" id="markers" name="markers"&gt; &lt;button&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my portal.php file I have:</p> <pre><code>$markers = json_decode($_POST['markers']); echo $markers; </code></pre> <p>Nothing prints out in the php page even though I know there are elements in the array, this leads me to believe the array is not being passed over.</p>

    1. COwell then you should become familiar with AJAX. It's the only way to do this...

    2. COPretty sure the only way to do this is with some sort of ajax solution. jQuery makes it really easy, if you have any experience with that.

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.
