Actually the question is based on the increment. But if anyone knows a better way of inserting table data into the database I'd like to hear it. I had saved a db table into html and am now seeking the precise coding to insert into my new db table. I modified by leaving out one field but adding another. First I did a for loop to get all the <th> tags which have the field names by storing them in an array. Then I used the count() of that array within another for loop which has all the <td>. The array of the <th> serves as a multiple like this: $allths = array(); for($th=0; $tdh<count($allths); $td++){ } for($td=0; $td<count($alltds); $td++){ if($td %==0){ //I'm not exactly sure how the exact code is since I'm away from my computer //I think somewhere within the if statement I have to put count($allths) } } PHP: I want to add the exception of one field or column, but insert the rest in their columns. Plus I have one column placed elsewhere in the db table (does it matter if it's not specified in order?)
ok. I have the old db table in html format. I deleted the old db table though. I recreated with some new fields and gotten rid of one field which existed in the the old. I'm concerned over how to insert it in. $contents_of_page = file_get_contents('saveddbtable/view_blinks1.php.htm'); preg_match_all("#<th.*>(.+)</th#Ui", $contents_of_page, $thInnerHTML); $contents_of_page = file_get_contents('saveddbtable/view_blinks1.php.htm'); $tdInnerHTML = str_replace("></td>", ">\"\"</td>", $contents_of_page);//to fill the blank tds otherwise it doesn't show preg_match_all("#<td.*>(.+)</td#Ui", $tdInnerHTML, $tdInnerHTML); $ths=0; for($tds=0; $tds<count($tdInnerHTML[1]); $tds++){ if($ths<count($thInnerHTML[1])){ $thInnerHTML[1][$ths] = array(); } echo $thInnerHTML[1][$ths]." = ".$tdInnerHTML[1][$tds]."<br />\n"; $thInnerHTML[1][$ths][] = $tdInnerHTML[1][$tds]; if($ths==count($thInnerHTML[1])-1){ $ths=0; }else{ $ths++; } } PHP: Is it possible (as I'm trying) to make a sub array by taking the array of fields from the <th> tags and store up the <td> arrays of data in each field?
