My people table has rows which need a value of 1 if checked and 0 if not. I used checkboxes to collect that in my form. I also wanted to allow the user to add more fields so if they can multiple entries can be made at a time.
I scraped out how to collect the unchecked boxes by creating a hidden input for each checkbox by creating a input type=hidden before the checkboxes, so I just copied the whole table row for the jQuery to append.
Unfortunately, the checkbox values mess up on every other row:
(the lName column specifies the input on the following boolean columns: Y should be a check and N is blank)
The first row is correct, but I don't know why the appended rows are being screwed.
<?php
include_once("connections/db.inc.php");
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
//insert people
$lName=$_POST['lName'];
$fName= $_POST['fName'];
$mName= $_POST['mName'];
$suffixName= $_POST['suffixName'];
$gender= $_POST['gender'];
$birthday= $_POST['birthday'];
$phoneNumber= $_POST['phoneNumber'];
$civilStatus= $_POST['civilStatus'];
$isHeadofFamily=$_POST['isHeadOfFamily'];
$isEmployed=$_POST['isEmployed'];
$isSelfEmployedInBusiness=$_POST['isSelfEmployedInBusiness'];
$isSelfEmployedInInformalSector=$_POST['isSelfEmployedInInformalSector'];
$isSoloParent=$_POST['isSoloParent'];
$isSeniorCitizen=$_POST['isSeniorCitizen'];
$isPWD = $_POST['isPWD'];
$relationToHeadOfFamily= $_POST['relationToHeadOfFamily'];
foreach ($lName as $key => $value) {
$sql = "INSERT INTO `people` (`addressId`, `lName`, `fName`, `mName`, `suffixName`, `gender`, `birthday`, `phoneNumber`, `civilStatus`, `isHeadOfFamily`, `isEmployed`, `isSelfEmployedInBusiness`, `isSelfEmployedInInformalSector`, `isSoloParent`, `isSeniorCitizen`, `isPWD`, `relationToHeadOfFamily`)
VALUES (:lastId,:a2,:b2,:c2,:d2,:e2,:f2,:g2,:h2,:i2,:j2,:k2,:l2,:m2,:n2,:o2,:p2)";
$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->bindParam(":lastId",$lastId);
$stmt->bindParam(":a2",$lName[$key]);
$stmt->bindParam(":b2",$fName[$key]);
