eval() will work here, but it's overkill--it's a very expensive
operation. You should avoid it whenever you can. A better way is to put
everything into an array:
In the form generation bit, use something like this:
echo '<input type="checkbox"
name="check[' . $mydata->id . ']"
value="' . $mydata->yourname . '">
Then when the form is submitted, you'll have an array named $check
containing any checked values. Here's a quick test script (change
$_POST to $HTTP_POST_VARS if your PHP is older than 4.1.0):
---test.php---
<form action="test.php" method="post">
Billy Bob: <input type="checkbox" name="check[Billy Bob]"
value="BB"><br />
Betty Sue: <input type="checkbox" name="check[Betty Sue]"
value="BS"><br />
Jethro: <input type="checkbox" name="check[Jethro]" value="JETHRO"><br
/>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<pre>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
if (isset($_POST['check'])) {
foreach ($_POST['check'] as $name) {
echo "Checked: $name\n";
}
}
?>
</pre>
---test.php---
The wrapping probably will get screwed up in the above, but the idea
should be clear.
Hope this helps,
