Dynamically add input to a form (cannot receive values in PHP)
I have a huge form that has a table. I am adding rows of this table with jQuery when user clicks some button and tries to catch all thesis values in PHP
But I cannot get any other values than the first row of the table!
Got
Undefined index: category # 2
when i try to get it $_POST['categorie#2']
HTML looks like this:
<form>
...[some working inputs]
<table id="matos" class="table table-responsive synthese">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Matériel</th>
<th>Fournisseur</th>
<th>Numéro de série</th>
<th>Catégorie</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Date d'achat</th>
<th>Etat</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="" id="ligne#1">
<td><input type="text" name="materiel#1" id="materiel#1" class="form-control" value=""></td>
<td>
<select name="fournisseur#1" id="fournisseur#1" class="form-control" value="">
<?php
$list = listing_fournisseurs();
foreach ($list as $key => $value)
{
echo '<option value='.$key.'>'.$value.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</td>
<td><input type="text" name="num_serie#1" id="num_serie#1" class="form-control" value=""></td>
<td>
<select name="categorie#1" id="categorie#1" class="form-control" value="">
<?php
$list = listing_categories();
foreach ($list as $key => $value) {
echo ' <option value='.$key.'>'.$value.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</td>
<td><input type="text" name="description_materiel#1" id="description_materiel#1" class="form-control" value=""></td>
<td><input type="text" name="buy_date#1" id="buy_date#1" class="date form-control" value=""></td>
<td>
<select name="etat#1" id="etat#1" class="form-control" value="">
<?php
$list = listing_etats();
foreach ($list as $key => $value) {
echo ' <option value='.$key.'>'.$value.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
How do I add a string to jQuery?
var num= parseInt($('#matos tr:last').prop("id").split('#')[1])+1;
$('#matos tr:last').after('<tr id="ligne#'+num+'">'+
'<td><input type="text" name="materiel#'+num+'" id="materiel#'+num+'" class="form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><select name="fournisseur#'+num+'" id="fournisseur#'+num+'" class="form-control" value="">'+
opt_fournisseurs+
'</select></td>'+
'<td><input type="text" name="num_serie#'+num+'" id="num_serie#'+num+'" class="form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><select name="categorie#'+num+'" id="categorie#'+num+'" class="form-control" value="">'+
opt_categories+
'</select></td><td><input type="text" name="description_materiel#'+num+'" id="description_materiel#'+num+'" class="form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><input type="text" name="buy_date#'+num+'" id="buy_date#'+num+'" class="date form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><select name="etat#1" id="etat#1" class="form-control" value="">'+
opt_states+
'</select></td></tr>');
$('#nbLignes').val(num);
And well in PHP I am trying:
$_POST['materiel#2'] // doesn't work
$_POST['materiel#1'] // works ! ( because first line ! )
I have read some problems that do not work if they are not in the tr td table ... But in my case they are ... What's wrong?

My bad one is here! I just messed up my DOM structure ... You shouldn't close the div you opened in front of <form>
yours until the end of yours </form>
, so!
Does not work:
<div id="some_div">
<form>
[Some inputs...]
</div><!-- /some_div -->
</form>
Should work:
<div id="some_div">
<form>
[Some inputs...]
</form>
</div><!-- /some_div -->
Seems obvious, but not when you have a very large DOM;)

You will make your life easier if you use this naming convention <input name="category[]" />
instead<input name="category#1" />
This way you will get the variables in the array at the end of PHP, making it easier to move the ALOT data!
eg:
<?php
foreach($_POST['categories'] as $num => $value){
}
?>

var opt_fournisseurs = '<option value="gg">gg</option><option value="dd">dd</option>';
var opt_categories = '<option value="ss">ss</option><option value="aa">aa</option>';
var opt_states = '<option value="ww">ww</option><option value="ee">ee</option>';
var num= parseInt($('#matos tr:last').prop("id").split('#')[1])+1;
$('#matos tr:last').after('<tr id="ligne#'+num+'">'+
'<td><input type="text" name="materiel#'+num+'" id="materiel#'+num+'" class="form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><select name="fournisseur#'+num+'" id="fournisseur#'+num+'" class="form-control" value="">'+
opt_fournisseurs+
'</select></td>'+
'<td><input type="text" name="num_serie#'+num+'" id="num_serie#'+num+'" class="form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><select name="categorie#'+num+'" id="categorie#'+num+'" class="form-control" value="">'+
opt_categories+
'</select></td><td><input type="text" name="description_materiel#'+num+'" id="description_materiel#'+num+'" class="form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><input type="text" name="buy_date#'+num+'" id="buy_date#'+num+'" class="date form-control" value=""></td>'+
'<td><select name="etat#1" id="etat#1" class="form-control" value="">'+
opt_states+
'</select></td></tr>');
$('#nbLignes').val(num);
