Do test this, but I think all that's required is you make the name an array:
select name=DPRpriority[] form=DPRform

Here's a small snippet showing how it works, I hope:
foreach ($DPRpriority as $item = $value) {
echo li .$item.: .$value['name']. selected:
.$value['selected']. /li\n;
}
Question 1: when did we have to add [] to a input name to turn it into
an array?
input type=checkbox name=DPRlocationdetails[] value=Unknown
According to phpinfo() it still comes out as
$_POST['DPRlocationdetails'] without [].
Are the [] necessary?
--
Question 2:
I was looking at some code in the Manual, where someone used isset and
is_array.
How necessary is if(isset($_POST['DPRlocationdetails']))
and then to use: if(is_array($_POST['DPRlocationdetails']))
That seems like over kill?
--
Question 3:
My code works, perfectly. In this case, I decided to attack some
check-boxes first. The resulting function will work for select
multiple too..
Does anyone see me doing something wrong in my code below?
My questions are:
Is this the only way to pass Unknown, Family Home or Apartment
into the function?
Is this correct?
if ($_POST['DPRlocationdetails'] == Unknown)
Somebody once told me I had to do it this way?
if (Unknown == $_POST['DPRlocationdetails'])

The [] are necessary if there are going to be multiple occurrences of an
input with the same name, hence the [] to allow your php script to
extract all of the occurrences.
Using isset and is_array comes in handy to help you handle the incoming
var properly. If it IS set, you then have to check if there is only one
value (hence a string) or if there are multiple values (an array).
#3 - no idea what you are asking.

OK. Johannes' reply made me think I mistook the final RC for the release, but you seem to indicate there was indeed a little delay. For Johannes: building 5.3.22 and 5.4.12 (both NTS, Windows) right now. I will report back if I run into something.

That means empty() is essentially the concise equivalent to !isset($var) || $var == false. I have an input type=radio value=something. If it is not checked, it is NOT empty, because it has a value, right? But it is NOT set, right? Some of the form elements (e.g., checkboxes, radio's) are a little tricky: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/476426/submit-an-html-form-with-empty-checkboxes When unchecked, no GET or POST variable is present to represent their value. Is this empty, because it's value is ? input type=text value= Just trying to understand ... :) A text field would be present in the GET or POST super globals, and if empty (the user did not add input), the empty function would return true because an empty string is one of the values that evaluates to false: - (an empty string) - 0 (0 as an integer) - 0.0 (0 as a float) - 0 (0 as a string) - NULL - FALSE - array() (an empty array) - $var; (a variable declared, but without a value) Adam -- Nephtali: A simple, flexible, fast, and security-focused PHP framework http://nephtaliproject.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
