array data using php issue

Question

here is my code the part of the option in php is not working somehow and it will only print team and question only when i tested

<?php
 Include("conifdata.php");

$command= "INSERT INTO SoccerPoll (Team, Question, Player1, Player2, Player3, Player4) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)";
$stmt = $dbh ->prepare($command);
$stmt->execute(array($_POST['team'], $_POST['question'],$_POST['option[0]'], $_POST['option[1]'], $_POST['option[2]'], $_POST['option[3]']));
if($stmt ->rowCount()>0){
    echo "Successfull";
}

// when tested here it will only print team and question only i need all of them

 echo $_POST["team"], $_POST['question'], $_POST['option[0]'], $_POST['option[1]'], $_POST['option[2]'], $_POST['option[3]'];



 //and here is my html page

<h1>Create a Team Poll</h1>
<p>enter data.</p>
<form action="addPoll.php" method="POST">
Team: <input type="text" required name="team"><br>
Question: <input type="text" required name="question"><br>
Option 1: <input type="text" required name="option1"><br>
Option 2: <input type="text" required name="option2"><br>
Option 3: <input type="text" required name="option[]"><br>
Option 4: <input type="text" required name="option[]"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Create Poll">
</form>

"option[]" are all this but still cant fix and also i tried both single quote and double quote — user4665562

@adeneo Why? echo can take multiple arguments and it echoes them all. — Barmar

@Barmar - of course it does, confused with JS, and I should have seen those strange keys — adeneo

When a parameter name ends with [...], that isn't part of the $_POST key, it causes that $_POST variable to be a sub-array. You need to access it with multi-dimensional array syntax. So $_POST['option[0]'] should be $_POST['option'][0], and similarly for all the other elements of that array.

your echo statement has commas, try using the period to concatenate them, or replace the , with ." ". if you want spaces between them

echo $foo, $bar is the same as echo $foo . $bar.

what is wrong with this code ` $command= "INSERT INTO SoccerPoll (Team, Question, Player1, Player2, Player3, Player4) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)"; $stmt = $dbh ->prepare($command); $stmt->execute(array($_POST['team'], $_POST['question'], $_POST['option[0]'], $_POST['option[1]'], $_POST['option[2]'], $_POST['option[3]']));`
