I have a form that has 8 columns and a variable number of rows which I need to email to the client in a nicely formatted email. The form submits the needed fields as a multi
How about this?
$keys = array_keys($_POST['order'][0]);
echo "<table><tr><th>".implode("</th><th>", $keys)."</th></tr>";
foreach ($_POST['order'] as $order) {
if (!is_array($order))
continue;
echo "<tr><td>".implode("</td><td>", $order )."</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>
In your HTML, try something like this:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Bottom</th>
<th>Slant</th>
<th>Fitter</th>
</tr>
<?php foreach ($_POST['order'] as $order): ?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $order['bottomdiameter'] ?></td>
<td><?php echo $order['slantheight'] ?></td>
<td><?php echo $order['fittertype'] ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
Obviously, I'm not including all your attributes there, but hopefully you get the idea.
A Table class I wrote some time ago
<?php
class Table {
protected $opentable = "\n<table cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n";
protected $closetable = "</table>\n";
protected $openrow = "\t<tr>\n";
protected $closerow = "\t</tr>\n";
function __construct($data) {
$this->string = $this->opentable;
foreach ($data as $row) {
$this->string .= $this->buildrow($row);
}
$this->string .= $this->closetable;
}
function addfield($field, $style = "null") {
if ($style == "null") {
$html = "\t\t<td>" . $field . "</td>\n";
} else {
$html = "\t\t<td class=\"" . $style . "\">" . $field . "</td>\n";
}
return $html;
}
function buildrow($row) {
$html .= $this->openrow;
foreach ($row as $field) {
$html .= $this->addfield($field);
}
$html .= $this->closerow;
return $html;
}
function draw() {
echo $this->string;
}
}
?>
To be used like this :
<body>
<?php
$multiDimArray = []; # Turn the form array into a matrix
for ($i = 0; $i < count($_POST['order']); $i++) {
$multiDimArray[] = [];
foreach ($_POST['order'][$i] as $key=>$value) {
if ($i == 0) {
$multiDimArray[$i][] = $key;
}
$multiDimArray[$i][] = $value;
}
}
$table = new Table($multiDimArray); # Create and draw the table
$table->draw();
?>
</body>
