The format of the code the samples looks like this
| Code: |
$fdd["id"]["name"] = "Id";
$fdd["id"]["sort"] = true;
$fdd["id"]["select"] = "T";
$fdd["last_name"]["name"] = "Last Name";
$fdd["last_name"]["sort"] = true;
$fdd["last_name"]["select"] = "T";
|
the code generated on my forms looks like this
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['serialNumber'] = array(
'name' => 'SerialNumber',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 255,
'required' => true,
'nowrap' => true,
'sort' => true
);
$opts['fdd']['pedidonum'] = array(
'name' => 'Pedidonum',
'options' => 'ACPDV',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 22,
'sort' => true |
I'd like to add some drop down lookups to certain fields and so forth. I feel like I understand the concepts. I see what is going on in the sample code. I paste and change the sample code. I do not succeed. My forms code and the sample code are so diferent in format, that I can not figure out what to do...
Any thoughts.

From your link I see two ways.
Type 1) "Direct"
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['col_name'] = array('option' => 'value') |
Type 2 "Postinitialization"
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['col_name']['option'] = 'value' which is used in many examples in this documentation.
|
This sample appears to be the second type
| Code: |
$fdd['office']['values']['table'] = 'offices';
$fdd['office']['values']['column'] = 'office_code';
$fdd['office']['values']['description'] = 'town';
|
How would I add that to my phpMyEdit generated form whose output is looks like this.
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['Cepillo'] = array(
'name' => 'Cepillo',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 255,
'sort' => true
); |
Would I do something like this?
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['Cepillo'] = array(
'name' => 'Cepillo',
'select' => 'D',
'maxlen' => 255,
'sort' => true
'values' => table='tblcepillo'
'values' => column='idcepillo'
'values' => description='desccepillo'
); |
I am sure this is wrong but at least you can see I am trying.... Thanks for the help

either
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['colname'] = array (
'name' => 'Name',
...
'values => array (
'column' => 'id',
...
),
...
);
|
or
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['colname'] = array (
'name' => 'Name',
...
);
$opts['fdd']['colname']['values']['column'] = 'id';
...
|
that does not matter.
once you get used to it, it is easy :)
but i can imagine your problems. could you write a documentation (for this part) which would be understandable to beginners ? as you can imagine, explaining 'obvious' things is really hard.

Please check my response for accuracy. I hope it is helpful to someone. You were quite helpful to me so I am glad I could contribute a bit.

Though, I am not confident I understand... I'll try to document.
There are two formats for expressing arrays. The examples at http://phpmyedit.org/configuring.php follow the "postinitialization" format. The code that is generated by the current version(phpMyEdit-5.3.tar.gz) follows the "direct" format. Do not fear. The two formats can be used interchangebly and even intermixed as shown below.
The two formats.
Type 1) "Direct"
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['col_name'] = array('option' => 'value') |
Type 2 "Postinitialization"
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['col_name']['option'] = 'value'
|
Code samples in the documentation.
| Code: |
$fdd["id"]["name"] = "Id";
$fdd["id"]["sort"] = true;
$fdd["id"]["select"] = "T";
$fdd["last_name"]["name"] = "Last Name";
$fdd["last_name"]["sort"] = true;
$fdd["last_name"]["select"] = "T";
|
Code generated on my forms
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['serialNumber'] = array(
'name' => 'SerialNumber',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 255,
'required' => true,
'nowrap' => true,
'sort' => true
);
$opts['fdd']['pedidonum'] = array(
'name' => 'Pedidonum',
'options' => 'ACPDV',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 22,
'sort' => true |
One can use either or both.... when adding an array of values for drop down selection.
"DIRECT"
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['serialNumber'] = array(
'name' => 'SerialNumber',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 255,
'required' => true,
'nowrap' => true,
'sort' => true
'values => array (
'column' => 'serialnumid',
'table' => 'tblserialnum'
'desription => 'serialnumdescip'
),
);
|
Combined "DIRECT" with drop down using "POSTINITIALIZATION"
| Code: |
$opts['fdd']['serialNumber'] = array(
'name' => 'SerialNumber',
'select' => 'T',
'maxlen' => 255,
'required' => true,
'nowrap' => true,
'sort' => true
);
$fdd["Serialnumber"]["values"]["table"] = "tblserialnum";
$fdd["Serialnumber"]["values"]["column"] = "serialnumid";
$fdd["Serialnumber"]["values"]["description"]
= 'serialnumdescrip';
|
Both ways work. Just take care to use closing punctuation.

your understanding of array declaration is right.
in your sample $fdd should be replaced by $opts['fdd']. i saw this difference only after carefull reading :-). is the written code working ? standard syntax is with $opts['fdd'], this one should be used.
we'll update this part of documentation, thanks for commenting it.

Glad to give back a little, even if it is disproportionate to what I receive....
by the way
I noticed that my last value is given with 'single quotes' instead of "double" ...

single quotes vs double: again, most of the time it does not matter :-) (except for URL option where you have to use single in order to use variables like $value).
i prefer single quotes.

Concerning to
configuration.php
- it is old and should be updated. We are currently talking about new website in the "Features" forum.
Concerning to apostrophes vs. quotes. I prefer apostrophes, because they can make PHP to parse code a slightly faster, since in the apostrophes, there is everything as-is, no variables, special characters, etc.
