Hi,
Why do you want a checkbox beside each button? Wouldn't the button alone be
enough? I'm assuming it's for something like a delete items list?
This is one of many ways to do it... I can't see why you need checkboxes --
perhaps you need to tell us more abut what you want to achieve.
<?
for($i=1;$i<=30;$i++)
{
echo "<form action='anyfile.php' method='post'>";
echo "Delete Item # {$i} ";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='item' value='{$i}' />";
echo "<input type='submit' name='delete' value='go' />";
echo "</form>";
}
?>
This would create 30 go buttons, each one on it's own form, each one having
a hidden name/value of item/$i. On anyfile.php you would be concerned with
the POST var $_POST['item'] (or $item if reg globals on), and perhaps
$_POST['delete'] to know that the form was submitted.
Another option might be a list of checkboxes, and ONE go button to delete
all checked items:
<form action='anyfile.php' method='post'>
<?
for($i=1;$i<=30;$i++)
{
echo "Item #{$i} ";
echo "<input type='checkbox' name='delete[{$i}]' value='1' />";
}
?>
<input type='submit' name='delete' value='delete checked items' />
On anyfile.php, you would have an array $_POST['delete'] that you could loop
through, getting the keys (id's of items to be deleted) and acting upon
them.
I could go on :)
