Generate Report

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I thank those who promptly responded to my first inquiry on the list.

This second request is, I assume, a tad more challanging.

I need a "Generate Report" function that'll allow the user to select one or more "groups" and what columns he would like to view.

For instance,

<fieldset><legend>Generate Report</legend>

<form action="generate_report.php" method="post">
<CENTER>
<TABLE BORDER="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
<TR>
   <TD rowspan="2" valign="bottom"><strong>Select Group(s)</strong></TD>
   <TD colspan="2"><strong>Select Columns</strong></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
   <TD><strong>Category One</strong></TD>
   <TD><strong>Category Two</strong></TD>
</TR>

<TR>
   <TD align="left" valign="top">
       <input name="sel_group[]" type="checkbox" value="1">Group A<BR>
       <input name="sel_group[]" type="checkbox" value="2">Group B<BR>
       <input name="sel_group[]" type="checkbox" value="3">Group C<BR>
       <input name="sel_group[]" type="checkbox" value="4">Group D<BR>
   </TD>

   <TD align="left">
<input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column A">Column A<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column B">Column B<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column C">Column C<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column D">Column D<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column E">Column E<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column F">Column F<BR>
   </TD>
   <TD align="left">
<input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column G">Column G<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column H">Column H<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column I">Column I<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column J">Column J<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column K">Column K<BR> <input name="sel_cols[]" type="checkbox" value="Column L">Column L<BR>
   </TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>
</CENTER>

<input name="submit" type="button" value="Generate">

</form>

</fieldset>

Let's say the user wants to view Group A and Group B AND view content from the Coulmn A, Column B, Column D, and Column K.

So a checkmark would be placed within each box and the "Generate Report" button would be "hit" to generate a report with titles situated horizontally.

I'm assuming I'll need to create an array for both "sel_group" and "sel_cols" and then, I believe it's "implode" them into string values??? Am I thinking correctly???

I know this query won't work...but this is the direction I'm headed...

$query = "SELECT $sel_cols FROM tasks WHERE groups_id=$sel_groups";

IOW, the columns from the sel_cols array would go there, and the group or groups would go after the WHERE statement.

Then I guess I would have to figure out the code for the echo.

Am I at least in the ballpark???

Thank you and good night.

Jeff
