How can PHP be used to create a web application that allows users to create new links leading to forms whose results can be accessed through a previously created list item?
To create a web application that allows users to create new links leading to forms whose results can be accessed through a previously created list item, you can use PHP to dynamically generate the links and handle form submissions. You can store the form results in a database and associate them with the corresponding list item. When a user clicks on a link, they are directed to a form where they can submit their data. Upon submission, the data is saved in the database and can be accessed through the list item.
<?php
// Connect to your database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "your_database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
// Create a new link
echo '<a href="form.php?list_item_id=1">Create new form for List Item 1</a>';
// Handle form submission
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$list_item_id = $_GET['list_item_id'];
$data = $_POST['data'];
// Insert form data into database
$sql = "INSERT INTO form_results (list_item_id, data) VALUES ('$list_item_id', '$data')";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
echo "Form submitted successfully";
} else {
echo "Error: " . $sql . "<br>" . $conn->error;
}
}
$conn->close();
?>
