form submit not working

Question

I have a table that prints out all available cameras. It uses a form to change these settings. The problem is that the form only updates the last camera in the entry. In other

Answer 1

It looks like you have multiple HTML elements with the same name. As such, you want to get back an array of values when the form is posted.

As such, Get $_POST from multiple checkboxes looks like it might be helpful.

Alternatively, extend oncameraSubmit so that it stores all the data in a hidden input field (not just the id). Then when you update the database, use these hidden fields.

Answer 2

Your form element names are clashing. When you define a form element e.g. 'camera_status' twice, you will only receive the last value in the POST.

Use form array notation, e.g.: "camera_status[]" or even better "camera_status[$id]". Then your PHP code will recieve arrays as POST data and you will be able to update everything at once.
