[PHP] Re: PHP checkbox/hidden field question
I am executing the follwoing statement as part of a while loop. This is part of a form and I wish to pass the name and value of the checkbox as a hidden field only is the checkbox is checked. Can you suggest how I can accomplish this task? tdinput type=checkbox name=d_c_arr[] value=?php echo $db-f(order_id) ?/td As you might know, checkboxes don't have the VALUE attribute. HTML won't even submit the VALUE attribute to the next page. You will only have an array containing 0's and 1's, the results of the checkboxes. So, on the next page, you will have to lookup the values again. Then print the hidden input's to the page in a for loop, while looping trough $d_c_arr.

[PHP] RE: PHP checkbox/hidden field question
you need to define the key for checkbox arrays in order to distinguish them (as only the checked ones will be posted).. something like ... tdinput type=checkbox name=d_c_arr[?php echo($count++); ?]/td Tim Ward www.chessish.com -Original Message- From: Paul Maine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 September 2002 00:56 To: PHP PHP Subject: PHP checkbox/hidden field question I am executing the follwoing statement as part of a while loop.

Re: [PHP] Re: PHP checkbox/hidden field question
You are wrong, this is from HTML 4.01 specification:
value = /cdata/ cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [CA]
cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This attribute specifies the initial value cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] of
the control. It is optional except when the
type cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] attribute has the value radio or
checkbox.
Upon submiting a form, only successfull checkboxes are submited,
so on the next page you only need this loop:
foreach($d_c_arr as $i) {
echo 'input type=hidden name=d_c_arr[] value='.
htmlspecialchars($i).'';
}
$d_c_arr contains only checked checkboxes.
