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.
<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,
<?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:
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","mySystem"); if (isset ($_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(); }
