When you call the server action, either use GET vars and put the datastore fields in the server action fields or use POST and populate the form vars with the datastore fields.

How Can I Pass an Array to a Server Action to Write to the Database?

I am creating a booking form. It can manage up to 6 attendees, and each attendee can be asked any number of questions. I want to find the most efficient way to write the question responses to the database. The responses have the following fields: contact_id (integer) question_id (integer) response (text paragraph including line breaks) comment (text paragraph including line breaks) various number fields (integer) and I expect to have 10-100 individual responses which need writing to the data…

Hi,
Yes, I’m able to get it to work with POST variables. Any idea on how to do it with GET variables?

Thank you.

Easy enough to submit automatically by adding form submit() on page load. Get may have some security issues. Also see my post on PayPal IPN (php) which gives you the submit code and also how to verify the page caller to prevent hijacking.

I went the route with POST variables. My quest for getting it to work with GET is continuing.

Thanks for the input.

I doubt it can be reliably achieved solely due to the limitation of characters which can be placed a GET parameter, typically 2,048 character. A POST variable can pass an array, to do it by GET you would need to split the datastore into its constituent parts and pass them individually or as something like a comma separated lost. It would also be very vulnerable to injection

Posting Complex Data Objects to Server Side

Intro Often you need to send complex data structures with form submissions, for example sending your shopping cart data to the server side. The Form Data component makes it easy to send such data to your server actions. Page Setup In our example we will show you how to send the contents of the Data Store component to a server action. We have a really simple shopping cart page, where you can add products to a data store and you can submit an order via a Server Connect Form. We want to send th…
