Re: [PHP] Form Processing - Multiple inputs of the same name
This worked perfectly. Thank you. As for the FAQ, I looked, but I guess not in the right place!

[PHP] Form Processing - Multiple inputs of the same name
Is it possible to pass an group of input boxes of the same name, then get the values of all the checked boxes or filled out textboxes? How do I get ALL the IDs passed. Right now it only passes the last ID. Do I really have to give them all unique names? For example... html head /head body form action=testform.php method=post input type=checkbox value=0 name=DeleteIDs/input Jon Smithbr input type=checkbox value=1 name=DeleteIDs/input David Callowbr input type=checkbox value=2 name=DeleteIDs/input Peter Parkerbr . . . input type=submit value=Delete Users /form /body /html This list of DeleteIDs will be build dynamically.

Using arrays with forms is in a faq: http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.arrays How do you feel this should be expanded? Mentioning that unchecked checkboxes do not pass values, and that the default value is 'on' (if checked) ... would be good too. I remember posting some information on this topic in the past: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalm=101142826821051 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-generalm=98576486229922 Anyway, I agree, just not sure if there should be one specific faq for each form type, such as checkboxes or select boxes or... Ideally one faq would explain it for all types, checkboxes or otherwise. Making it short/concise and understandable for all user levels (such as newbies) is the tricky part. Well, actually, the tricky part is convincing people to read faqs :) Regards, Philip On 1/31/03 11:17 AM, Mike Potter [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is it possible to pass an group of input boxes of the same name, then get the values of all the checked boxes or filled out textboxes?
