Re: [PHP] checkbox = POST = array??

2002-08-12 Thread Brent Baisley

I'm doing something very similar on a project I'm working on, except I'm 
using radio buttons. I'm not quite sure what are using the ID for (for 
style sheets or a data ID). If you are using it as a data ID, then you 
can make it part of the topic[] array. So it would look like this:
input type='checkbox' name=topic['45'] value='a value'

Then to process the array, you would do something like this:
while (list($checkboxID,$checkboxValue) = each $topic) {
// Your process code
}

Each check box is then referenced by the two variables $checkboxID and 
$checkboxValue. There are a number of ways ou can do this, really any 
way you would process and array (i.e. foreach). I prefer this way 
because I can give logical names to the array elements I am using.

 I,
 I don't have my books here and it's been a while since I did PHP, and 
 google isn't helping:
 How do I code a bunch of checkboxes with id's, and then loop trough the 
 result as an array after POSTing it?
 What I have now:
 input type='checkbox' id='45' name='topic[]' value='45'
 doesn't return an array $topic??
 Thanks,
 Peter

Probaby due to register_globals.  It should exist in $_POST['topic']
