how to store value of the li tag in php and submit into database

how to store value of the li tag in php and submit into database



I'm beginner in PHP building a e-commerce website. I have an issue with product size. I want to store the value of product size when clicked on add to cart button.
Using ul and li tag in html to show size range for front end I want to add product size into cart table.



Can I use name attribute in ul tag to store value and pass through the form?



Here is my code


<div class="col-sm-8 col-sm-12">
<div class="filter-box">
<div class="widget size">
<h6 class="widget-title">Size</h6>
<div class="widget-desc">
<div class="row">
<ul style="display: contents;">
<li id="1"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">XS</a></li>
<li id="2"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">S</a></li>
<li id="3"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">M</a></li>
<li id="4"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">L</a></li>
<li id="5"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">XL</a></li>
<li id="6"><a value="" class="filter-size-box" href="#">XXL</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>





what should i do?

There's no attribute like "name" for ul/li tag. You shouldn't use ul for this, you should use with


<form method="POST">
<select name="sizes">
<option value="1">XS</option>
<option value="2">S</option>
</select>
</form>



Then when you submit the form(POST) in PHP you'll have access to the values with $_POST['sizes']


$_POST['sizes']



It can be coded with JS and CSS that the select will look and behave as it was list with UL. There are already some components that are done like this and you may use them.

You can add hidden input in the form in this case and then set the value of this input with the help of jquery on click on anchor link.





show me some example so i can move further with this

1) Add hidden input inside of the form 2) Write a jquery click handler for the anchor links 3) Inside click handler, find the parent elements ID attribute 4) Put this id as a value of hidden input.

<script> $("#sizelist").on("click", "a", function(e) e.preventDefault(); var $this = $(this).parent(); $this.addClass("select").siblings().removeClass("select"); $("#sizevalue").val($this.data("value")); ); </script>

<ul style="display: contents;" id="sizelist"> <li data-value="XS" value="XS"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">XS</a></li> <li data-value="S"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">S</a></li> <li data-value="M"><a class="filter-size-box" href="#">M</a></li> </ul> <input id="sizevalue" name="size" type="hidden" />
