I made a foreach loop, but I can only vote for the first movie post. If I try to vote for the other images, the changes are not reflected and I am able to see only the changes made to the first post.
<?php foreach($imgsqlResults as $imgre): ?>
<?php
$sql2 = "SELECT * FROM posts";
$result2 = mysqli_query($conn, $sql2);
while ($rows = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result2)) {
$postid = $rows['post_id'];
$post_owner = $rows['user_unam'];
$post_pic_path = $rows['pic_path'];
}
?>
<div class='postsContainer' id='<?php echo $postid ?>'>
<div class='profile-cont'>
<div class='who-post'>
<div class='who-post-name'><a href='$imgrefrence'>Marwan Mason</a></div>
<div class='who-post-img'><img src='photos/<?php echo $imgre['pic_path'] ?>'></div>
</div>
<div class='img-ctn'><img src='photos/<?php echo $imgre['pic_path'] ?>'></div>
<div class='star-rating'>
<form method='POST' >
<input type='h' name='imgId<?php echo $imgre['id'];?>' value="<?php echo $imgre['id'];?>">
<input id='star-1' type='radio' name='rating' value='star-5'>
<label for='star-1' title='Perfection'></label>
<input id='star-2' type='radio' name='rating' value='star-4'>
<label for='star-2' title='Amazing'></label>
<input id='star-3' type='radio' name='rating' value='star-3'>
<label for='star-3' title='wow'></label>
<input id='star-4' type='radio' name='rating' value='star-2'>
<label for='star-4' title='Nice'></label>
<input id='star-5' type='radio' name='rating' value='star-1'>
<label for='star-5' title='Not Bad'></label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
if(isset($_POST['rating'])){
echo "You have selected ";
}else{ echo "<span>Please choose any radio button.</span>";}
}
?>
<?php endforeach ?>
You can: (Although I don't recommend your coding pattern)
Make unique the ids for your each form in foreach
.
Make all form
& input
unique (or atleast the ability to handle them separately).
like this
<?php
foreach ($imgsqlResults AS $key => $item) {
?>
<div class='postsContainer'>
<div class='profile-cont'>
<div class='who-post'>
<div class='who-post-name'><a href='$imgrefrence'> Marwan Mason </a></div>
<div class='who-post-img'><img src='photos/<?php echo $item['pic_path'] ?>'></div>
</div>
<div class='img-ctn'><img src='photos/<?php echo $item['pic_path'] ?>'></div>
<div class='star-rating'>
<form method='POST'>
<!-- This unique_id is to handle each form separately -->
<input type="hidden" name="unique_id" value="<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>"/>
<!-- This your_record_primary will make every input name unique -->
<input id='star-1<?= $key ?>' type='radio' name='rating<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>'
value='star-5'>
<label for='star-1' title='Perfection'></label>
<input id='star-2<?= $key ?>' type='radio' name='rating<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>'
value='star-4'>
<label for='star-2' title='Amazing'></label>
<input id='star-3<?= $key ?>' type='radio' name='rating<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>'
value='star-3'>
<label for='star-3' title='wow'></label>
<input id='star-4<?= $key ?>' type='radio' name='rating<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>'
value='star-2'>
<label for='star-4' title='Nice'></label>
<input id='star-5<?= $key ?>' type='radio' name='rating<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>'
value='star-1'>
<label for='star-5' title='Not Bad'></label>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']) && (!empty($_POST['unique_id']) && $_POST['unique_id'] === $item['your_record_primary'])) {
if (isset($_POST['rating' . $item['your_record_primary']])) {
echo "<span>You have selected :<b> " . $_POST['rating' . $item['your_record_primary']] . "</b></span>";
} else {
echo "<span>Please choose any radio button.</span>";
}
}
}
?>
id='star-1<?= $key?>'
will essentially give you:
<!-- First iteration will look like -->
<input id='star-10 />
.
.
<input id='star-50 />
<!-- Next iteration will look like -->
<input id='star-11 />
.
.
<input id='star-51 />
NOTE: If you're using the id
properties of these input
elements in your JS perhaps you must find a way to handle these dynamic ids
.
Explanation:
Since in your code if(isset($_POST['submit'])
is inside the loop.
We need to evaluate true ONLY for the right if(isset($_POST['submit'])
on submitting the form, and to achieve that we introduce and additional input <input type="hidden" name="unique_id" value="<?= $item['your_record_primary'] ?>"/>
to maintain the uniqueness.
We then replace if(isset($_POST['submit'])
with if (isset($_POST['submit']) && (!empty($_POST['unique_id']) && $_POST['unique_id'] === $item['your_record_primary']))
. So that only the request with the right unique_id
gets insides its if condition. Hope I made myself clear enough.
