User Updating Table

[bdmakana]

Hello,

I have searching all day everyday for the past 4 days (appx 40 hours) and I have not been able to find a solution or even a path to figuring out how to do what I'm looking to accomplish:

I want to make a page where the content is a list that any user can enter text into a table from left to right where there will be some columns that will have drop down lists and others with checkboxes to be edited later. Here's a link to what I mean:

http://www.rlrr.com/sample.php

I'd like to create a new row for each new job that is created. I want to be able to store the information on an external file or more preferably in the page itself.

Now, is this even possible? The use of this page is that some users will enter in a few fields of information and I would come in and check the boxes and fill in the text fields with the dates.

Could someone at least tell me what these operations are called so I can begin to search for them? Or even better if you could give me a skeleton code that I can edit and massage until it's correct that would be awesome!


Thank You, I'm getting loopy searching the web unsuccessfully all day everyday.

Hi Makana,

Welcome to TSDN!

I checked out your link and it seems that you just need to create a user data entry form. We can definitely help you out here.

First things first, do you have a supporting infrastructure in place? I mean something like a mySQL db with a table to support the form. As far as I know, it is not possible to store user data in a form from multiple iterations of the script and query it from an admin interface.

If you have a table, then from here it's just a matter of constructing your scripts. the end-user script would most likely complete with an INSERT INTO and the admin script would run based on UPDATE statements.

If you want more help, you can PM me and I will assist you in getting started.

Jenkins

Jenkins is right, using a database would be your best solution. If you can't use a database then you could write the information to a text file and read it into the web page.
