Multiple Sub ID Postback BLAMADS,

Hi forum,

I created a website where users fill in a survey and than i get a postback from blamads that confirms the survey is filld in, but i need to get more info from the postback, now the sub_id is the users IP, that way i know that they filld in the survey but i also need 2 other IDs in the postback,

Example: ShareCash gets a User ID en a File ID in the postback.
and they are send back like this

User ID|||FileID
or: 938482|||59838

But i don't know how to post these in different columns

Also how do i script the vertical bar to put them in different columns in the database

Thank you.

    You can delimit the parameters, so subid=data1|data2|data3, the when you use the API to read off the subid, you need to parse the field (ie.take out the |) into the 3 variables to work with.

    I don't understand the 2nd part of your question though.

      Nvm that, but how do i insert Data1 , data2 and data3 in different columns in my database?

      i got like this script to insert the values of the postback in my database:
      mysql_query("INSERT INTO survey (sub_id, sub_id2, sub_id3) VALUES('".."', '".."', '".."') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE '".."'='0'") or die(mysql_error());
      that's kinda what i need but how do i put data1 in column of sub_id en data2 in column of data2 etc..

      i cant figure it out,

      thanks for helping me out, i appreciate it alot

    Hi Rubyx,

    Your question is programming related and you'll be hard-pressed to find the right kind of help here. Perhaps a more techy forum like tek-tips.com or stackoverflow.com will be a better fit.

    This is not to knock my fellow warriors. A lot on here are more than qualified to help - however, they probably will never see this post.

    By the way, if all your data is being received from Blam in a pike-delimited string (the pike looks like this '|' ) - then you can use the php function "explode" to break it into an array of strings. The pike will be automatically stripped out in this way. You can then store your data using the indices of your new array.

    Best,
    - Jay

      Yup, he provided that solution This is when you want to store multiple info into a subid so you can perhaps credit your subaff if you run an inventive site for eg.
