Hello: I am trying to create a lesson plan dbase that allows teachers to enter and edit their lessons...being of limited php experience, I have taken the code of a shopping cart tutorial and have been adapting it to my uses (benefits include learning coding styles, drawbacks...you have to understand what is being done in order to modify it for your needs!!) Thus my problem: I am at a point where I want to call a stored (mysql) lesson in order to edit it...the form works well except for some values that are called from another table, because they are multivalued... I think this calls the main lesson up and puts stuff into the $frm array? /* load up the information for the lesson */ $qid = db_query(" SELECT l_id, date, title, author, overview, time, grdlevel, supplies, preparation, proced, assessment, taskcard FROM lesson WHERE l_id = $id "); $frm = db_fetch_array($qid); I think this calls up the multivariate data and puts it into an array of its own while putting it into $frm array under "glenums"...but I am not sure /* load up the bench-gles for the lesson */ $qid = db_query(" SELECT glenum FROM lesson_gle WHERE l_id = $id ORDER BY glenum ASC "); $countgle = mysql_num_rows($qid); $frm["glenums"] = array(); while ($gle = mysql_fetch_object($qid)) { $frm["glenums"][] = $gle->glenum; } And this is what I dont understand...what does $frm["glenums"][] = $gle->glenum; do? This is what I wrote into the display form to show the multivariate text boxes: <? for ($i = 1; $i <= $countgle; $i++): ?> <INPUT TYPE=text NAME=glenum[] VALUE="<? $frm["glenums"] ?>" SIZE=60> <? endfor ?> And I get the right amount of textboxes (reflected by $countgle) but I am not able to get the values to show up. Any help is welcomed!! Thanks Luis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com/
