Hello to everybody
What a long subject
Actually this is a many hints with tips request
Subject in detail: a commission copy, formerly an order copy, is a module where you write (insert) item that are ordered to some supplier.
Each item has some columns
Quantity, article code (if any), article name, price (if any)
In one order the item can be just one, but in another they could be many items (rows)
So the ideal input page/form is made by an HTML table where the cells will act as input text(s)
So a button is needed. Add new row. While when opening the New Order Page, it will be prompted the table with just one row. If a new row is needed, Add New Row button will append one row to the table
When the order is filled and complete we have n rows, the requirement is to INSERT INTO the order_details MySQL table all the HTML Table row’s cells content
I think that AJAX will help so much in this case, because a plus is to have a checkbox in an additional cell at the end or at the begin of each row, let’s call it “action”, that would b associated with two buttons “Remove” to delete the row (if needed) and “Edit” if something is wrong.
I have seen plenty of questions and tutorials on this topic, either one on sitepoint
How to insert the dynamic table row values into mysql database when checking the checkbox in jquery (unfortunately after 90 days it got closed)
Well since coding allows many paths , each with pros and cons, I kindly ask your point of view on the best manner of how to set up this page and table.
Hopefully this is not too broad so let’s limit the question.
The table for the example will be just with 4 columns
ColA - ColB - ColC - ColD
And the rows will still be n, since loops through some array, sounds sharp will happen.
Thank you for reading and thank you even more for any of your suggestions and opinions or either links to stuff like this
