# Rapid Form Class
# Version 1.5
# Written By Gil Hildebrand Jr (gil@hildebrandconsulting.com)
# Use is granted under the GNU Public License
#
##########################################################################################
#
# DESCRIPTION:
# These functions are
# the missing link between an html form and its database table. They
# are designed to accept posted form data and input it directly
# into a database, without having to type out a list of each form field in
# the traditional manner. Name your form fields with "do_" as a prefix so
# the converter will know what fields you wish to convert.
#
# Example: for an address field, name it "do_address".
#
##########################################################################
#
# CHANGELOG:
#
# -Version 1.4: The do_insert and do_update functions
# now have the ability to return an array of
# required fields which were not filled in. When
# the "required" attribute in these functions is set,
# a key/value array is returned with the fields that were
# required but not filled in.
#
# -Version 1.3: Field merging implemented. You can now
# merge 2 or more form fields into one.
# Name them similarly by appending "_merge_x"
# to the end of each field name, where x is the
# number of this field. For a phone # field,
# you could do something like:
# <input type="text" size="3" name="do_homephone_merge_1">
# <input type="text" size="3" name="do_homephone_merge_2">
# <input type="text" size="4" name="do_homephone_merge_3">
# Thanks to Sean McCann (sean@mudbuginfo.com)
#
#
# -Version 1.2: Added the do_mail function to format
# a one-value-per-line email with a list of
# field:value names.
#
# The do_update function can now process
# checkboxes which were previously checked
# but unchecked during the update. It
# accomplishes this using a hidden form
# field which acts as an array with
# the name of each checkbox.
# Thanks to Jason Yeast (jasonyeast@hotmail.com)
#
#
# -Version 1.1: Added the do_update function to generate
# SQL strings for database updates.

# do_insert function
####################
# Purpose: Produces 2 strings which can be used to make a database insert.
#
# How it works: In your form, name fields with "do_" as a prefix. For example,
# if the field name in your db is "foobar", then name your form field
# "do_foobar". Note that you can also make required fields, which will
# halt the program before any database call if the required field has
# no value. To use this, name your required field "do_requ_foobar".
#
# In your program, call the function as follows:
# list($fields,$values) = do_insert($HTTP_POST_VARS);
#
# The function will return an array which is broken into the $fields
# and $values variables. To insert into your db, just do this:
# mysql_query("Insert into table_name ($fields) VALUES ($values)");
#
# Usage: list($fields,$values) = do_insert($HTTP_POST_VARS);
# if (!empty($values)) mysql_query("Insert into table_name ($fields) VALUES ($values)");
