[PHP-DB] Variable from PHP to HTML...
I am attempting to create a form of system names that is populated
from a database query. The database query is working fine, and the form
population is actually working fine also. The question I have is about
organizing the variables that result from the form. I want to use the
system name as the variable name but I am having trouble figuring out how to
do this. Below is what I currently have working:
form name=form1 method=post action=
table border=0 align=center
?php do {
$sys = $system['Name'];
if ($cnt == 1) {
$cnt = 2;
echo tr; ?
td width=161input name=system type=checkbox value=name
?php echo $sys; ?/td
I would like to be able to access this variable $sys from the HTML
code. Is this possible? I am thinking something like this, but it doesn't
appear to work:
form name=form1 method=post action=
table border=0 align=center
?php do {
$sys = $system['Name'];
if ($cnt == 1) {
$cnt = 2;
echo tr; ?
td width=161input name=$sys type=checkbox value=name
?php echo $sys; ?/td
Thanks in advance for the help.

?php echo $sys; ?/td
Your input box should be the following:
input name=sys type=checkbox value=name
The $ isn't necessary in the HTML code since HTML doesn't really recognize
this as a variable. When the form is passed to the action page, the code in
the action page (in this case PHP) creates a variable named whatever the
name attribute in the HTML code holds - in this case sys.

If the last reply didn't help you, try this:
tdinput name=?php echo $sys; ? type=checkbox value=name?php echo $sys;
?/td
Another way to write, if you aren't worried about ? being used by another
processor:
tdinput name=?=$sys? type=checkbox value=name?=$sys?/td
