[PHP] Process array after form submission problem

2003-02-13 Thread Steve Jackson 
Hi,

My problem is that I have a dynamic form with vars which I want to process.

The variables are checkbox names with a variable number of checkboxes but
all currently have the same variable name.

ie.
form action='process.php' method='post'
input type = text name = user value = name
input type = checkbox name = grant value = {$array[code]}
input type = checkbox name = grant value = {$array[code]}
input type = checkbox name = grant value = {$array[code]}

The array code works fine in that the values reflect what is in the DB.

I understand that $grant will be an array? (am I right?) so how do I use PHP
to look at $grant as an array in my processing script rather than an
ordinary variable? I can get the DB to update if there is only one checked
box but otherwise it updates the DB with the value of the last checkbox.

Any ideas?

Steve Jackson

Add [] to the end of the item name like:
input type = checkbox name = grant[] value = {$array[code]}

?php
$grant = $_POST['grant'];
if (is_array($grant)) {
  echo 'Items checked:br';
  foreach ($grant as $value) {
echo $valuebr;
  }
}
