Question : php: read text out of the row/column and put it into mysql

Hello,

Currently, I have a php file that reads a .csv file and puts the text thats in there on a html page in a table, row by row. First and second columns are text from the file, the third and fourth are inputs from the user. The third column is just textarea boxes and the fourth is an option group with a yes or no value. How do I read the text in column 1 2 and 4 that are being submitted row by row into a mysql table?

I have already experimented with creating a table..etc (so its already in there). I can read the value of the text area boxes into the table fine. The things that are missing are column 1, 2, and 4, which are text from the file on the page (1 and 2) and 4 is the optgroup value.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

The only way to attain this csv information that you printed on the page for the user to view is to either:
1.  Put these values in hidden values on your form- so you can read them back in when submitted
2.  Save these values in a session variable and retreive them when it is time to write to the database
3.  Save these values in a session cookie and retreive them when it is time to write to the database
4.  Save these values in a database table, and storing the primary key of these in any of the above methods, so when it comes to saving you can link to this primary key
