You need to name the elements a little differently. You're on the right
track with making them an array, but if I check the third box, that'll make
$check[0] = 1, and if I put in a name in the first box, that'll make
$name[0] = 'John'... so you have no way of relating the name from "entry
one" to the checkbox in "entry one".
So, the easy fix for this is to supply the key yourself.
<p>Entry One
<input type=text name=name[1]>
<input type=text name=tel[1]>
<input type=checkbox name=check[1] value=1>
<p>Entry Two
<input type=text name=name[1]>
<input type=text name=tel[1]>
<input type=checkbox name=check[1] value=1>
Now, when that is submitted, only the checked values will be passed in
$check.. so you can do this (assuming POST):
foreach($_POST['check'] as $key => $value)
{
if(empty($_POST['name'][$key]))
{ echo "you didn't supply a name for entry $key"; }
if(empty($_POST['tel'][$key]))
{ echo "you didn't supply a telephone number for entry $key"; }
//process $_POST['name'][$key] and $_POST['tel'][$key]
}
Hope that helps. Sorry for the top post, but OE sucks. :)
