Hey,
I have written a script that dynamically generates a form from a given
database and table that would be suitable, as a generic data input
device for any mysql table.
My problem is that when I have tried to write the script for the forms
action i.e.:
...
mysql("database","INSERT INTO table Values (
'$field1',
'$field2',
'$field3',
'$field4'
)");
I cannot figure out how to generate the above function dynamically so
that that it has the correct number of fields for the given database
table, does anyone know how one would go about writing php functions
dynamically then executing them?
I suppose it is much the same as the way php dynamically generates html,
but I need it to do it on itself, if this makes any sense.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Joseph
