may I know is it possible for submit a table form to a selected table in mysqli database based on drop down selection ?
For an example, user can select which table A or B in a mysqli database using the drop down selection and click send. Below code is just an example (but my exact code)
Requesting for the resolution. Thank you.
JavaScript
x
<form method="post" action="">
<table name="userform" >
<tr><th>Full Name</th>
<th> Week </th></tr>
<tr><td><input name="name" type="text" id="name"></td>
<td><input name="week" type="number" id="week"></td></tr>
</table>
<select name="sendToWho" >
<option value="tableA" >table A</option>
<option value="tableB" >table B</option>
<option value="tableC">table C</option>
<input type="submit" name="save" id="save" value="Save Data">
</form>
I used ‘”.$name[$tableName].”‘ because it is a add,delete,editable table before send to the mysqli database,
JavaScript
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","mySystem");
$sendTO = [
"tableA" => "optionA",
"tableB" => "optionB",
"tableC" => "optionC",
];
foreach ($sendTO as $tableName => $optionName)
{
$table = isset($_POST["userform"], $sendTO[$_POST["name"]])
? $sendTO[$_POST["week"]]
: $sendTO[0];
$sql = "INSERT INTO `$table`(Name, Week) VALUES ('".$name[$tableName]."','".$week[$tableName]."')";
$query = mysqli_query($conn,$sql);
}
?>

Not entirely sure of what you are trying to achieve, but something like this could work:
JavaScript
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","mySystem");
if (isset ($_POST['save'])){
$name = $_POST['name'];
$week = $_POST['week'];
$sendTo = $_POST['sendToWho'];
//check which option was selected and delegate the correct table accordingly
switch ($sendTo){
case 'tableA':
$stmt = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO optionA (Name, Week) VALUES (?,?)');
break;
case 'tableB':
$stmt = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO optionB (Name, Week) VALUES (?,?)');
break;
case 'tableC':
$stmt = $conn->prepare('INSERT INTO optionC (Name, Week) VALUES (?,?)');
break;
default:
echo "error";
break;
}
$stmt->bind_param('ss', $name, $week); // see www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli-stmt.bind-param.php
$stmt->execute();
}
