Good people,<br>I seek to write a generic, reusable set of functions that, given a GET/POST array, a table name and a few other instructions, can retrieve data from a form and save it in one or more tables. Anyone know of anything similar which I can build upon?<br>
<br>If there is one thing I find totally boring, its processing form data. Oh yeah, ideas on how to do this are also welcome, below are my initial ideas:<br><br>----<br><br>Parameters to be received by function:<br><ol><li>
Associative array with name of form element and corresponding name of table column</li><li>Name of table, to be used to construct the INSERT statement</li><li>A flag to instruct the function to return the last_insert_id() for those cases where you need it for the next save</li>
</ol><br>To be returned by the function<br><ol><li>The last_insert_id() if specified</li><li>A boolean value indicating if the saving was successful or not</li></ol><br>Anything else I am missing?<br>
