There are two obvious approaches to this:
First, with JavaScript, you could write a
'select all' button, which checks all the checkboxes,
then submits the form normally.
Or, you could have a submission button
that tells PHP to approve all listed items
whether checked or not, ie
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Checked'>
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='All'>
The problem with this is that unchecked checkboxes
simply don't appear when the form is submitted; you
need some way to get a full list of the IDs in question.
A quick fix I have found is as follows, for each option:
<input type='hidden' name='cb307' value='No'>
<input type='checkbox' name='cb307' value='Yes'>
NOTE: the name is NOT an array, and the hidden
field must come before the checkbox.
This way, if the checkbox is not checked, the 'No'
value comes through; otherwise it is over-written
by 'Yes'.
Another option would be to keep a comma-delimited
list of IDs and write 'em all into a single hidden
field, ie
<input type='checkbox' name='cb305' value='Yes'>
<input type='checkbox' name='cb306' value='Yes'>
<input type='checkbox' name='cb307' value='Yes>
<input type='hidden' name='idlist' value='305,306,307'>
Hope this helps...
