Multisave indexed list of records

I apreciate if someone can help
I have a simple batch form [attachment=0]Captura.JPG[/attachment]
with simple code that changes format of some fields

<?php
$i=0;
foreach($form->data['paper'] as $var){
$form->data['paper'][$i]['id']=$var['id'];
$form->data['paper'][$i]['rates']=implode("/",explode(",",$var['rates']));
$form->data['paper'][$i]['rate1']=implode("/",explode(",",$var['rate1']));
$form->data['paper'][$i]['rate2']=implode("/",explode(",",$var['rate2']));
$form->data['paper'][$i]['rate3']=implode("/",explode(",",$var['rate3']));
$form->data['paper'][$i]['rate4']=implode("/",explode(",",$var['rate4']));
$i++;
 }
?>

after debugging, all records seem to be updated but although is a indexed list of records i can't save it into table 😲

Hi teldrive,

What is the 'it' that you are trying to save??

You may need to escape values with / in them before saving.

Hi Bob thanks by reply, this fields rate1, rate 2 are varchar(255)
so by db-read and db-save are text fields, we just need change separators with php code "1,2,3,4,5" by "1/2/3/4/5", issue is that there are too many records to do it manually, so this is why we need this batch form

I saw in forums that is not supported to save more than one record with db-save, but some times dates of these answers are old, in CFv5(db-save action form) i see that if i have indexes lists i can save muliple records, my doubt is that I am assuming when i use db-read(multirecord) I obtain indexed list of record with same format that I need for db_save, i will apreciate if you can confirm me that.

Hi Teldrive,

I'm not sure I understood your last post :-(

If you are just updating the database might it be easier to do this in PHPMyAdmin?

UPDATE `some_table`
SET `rate1` = REPLACE(`rate1`, ',', '/');

I still don't understand why you need to do that though.

Hi Bob, I will try, but let me know anyway if i can do a multirecord db-load, change one field of each and after do a multirecord db-save,

Hi Bob , ok
this is what makes me confused[attachment=0]Captura.JPG[/attachment]

Hi TelDrive,

Sorry, I'd forgotten this was CFv5 . . . I have no idea how that works, I'll go look at the code if I can find it.

Hi Teldrive,

Here's the function that does the multi-save

	function saveAll($data = array()){
		if(!empty($data) AND is_array($data) AND array_values($data) === $data){
			//numerically indexed list of records
			$this->ids = array();
			foreach($data as $k => $record){
				$this->save($record);
				$this->ids[] = $this->id;
			}
			return true;
		}
		return false;
	}

it looks straight-forward with the exception of the check array_values($data) === $data
I think that requires that your data is supplied in an array that is numerically indexed starting with 0 - but that should be what your PHP returns.

Hi Bob
let me know how can I match this->save with my table jos__XXXX, I am asuming with this function I don't need db-save action

Hi Teldrive,

According to your setup, the model name should be set to "paper" and the table should be selected with multi save enabled, then it should work!

Hi Max
I think so, it could be a bug, I made a simpler test, changing only one field of one record

<?php
$form->data['paper'][0]['rates']="testing";
?>

debug shows all goes fine
[attachment=0]Captura1.JPG[/attachment]
but checking the field on table shows is not working
[attachment=1]Captura2.JPG[/attachment]
i think configuration on db-read is fine(I tested loading all fields too)
[attachment=2]Captura3.JPG[/attachment]
and in db-save also

Hi Teldrive,

Please add a debugger action after the "db save" and post the debug data here.

Max

Hi Max, , hope it can help
