[PHP-DB] Urgent help needed
Hi there everyone, I have this system where you can create folders on your HD for inserting PDF files via a web interface and you can also remove these folders, this works no problem, but I have run into a snag, I need to send more than 1 field in the below array via a form, how can I do? Basically, aswell as sending the ID, I need to send the title and path too and i'm abit confused. input type=checkbox name=del[] value=?=$id? Any help would be VERY appreciated :-) Thanks everyone. Chris

You could pass the value as id/title/path where / is a delimiter, then
pull it apart on the other side.
Or, you could format 3 different elements like this:
input type=checkbox name=del[?=$id?] value=?=$id?
input type=hidden name=title[?=$id?] value=?=$title?
input type=hidden name=path[?=$id?] value=?=$path?
Now, when a checkbox is checked, you'll end up with something like
$del[1234]. Just pull the key or value and then you'll be able to
determine $title[1234] and $path[1234] to use in your script.
foreach($del as $id)
{ echo Deleting id: $id, title: {$title[$id]}, path: {$path[$id]}; }

Re: [PHP-DB] Urgent help needed
Chris - it might take a little work, but I think I have a good solution
for ya. I would maybe use the $id as the key, and then use hidden inputs
to set the other stuff in a multidimensional array. like so
input type=checkbox name=del[?=$id?][path] value=?=$path?
input type=hidden name=del[?=$id?][title] value=?=$title
then, on the flip side of the script when you need the data, the array
keys are the actual id's you need, and the multidimensional array has
keys of [path] and [title] like below
$del[1][path] == '/home/monkey';
$del[1][title] == 'monkeystuff';
$del[2][path] == 'home/donkey/';
$del[2][title] == 'donkeystuff';
you can access this array by doing the following...
foreach($del as $id = $slot) {
echo $id.'br /';
echo 'path = '.$slot[path].'br /';
echo 'title = '.$slot[title].'br /';
}
Hope this helps...

Or you could hire John or me to do it for you. :-) Just kidding. I used the delimiting
solution all over the place it is pretty simple.

Re: [PHP-DB] Urgent help needed
In the input definition onclick call a javascript function with all your parameters.
Might be a missing quote here and there but this is close to ones I use all the time:
echo brinput type=button value = \Go\
onClick=\yourjavascriptfunction('$parameter1','$parameter2','$parameter3')\;
Now here is what is in yourjavascriptfunctio('$parameter1,$parameter2,$parameter3'):
function yourjavascriptfunction(this1,this2,this3)
{
window.open(proofexcel.php3?batch_id= +
window.document.forms(0).LabBatchPicker.value + parameter1= + this1
+parameter2=+ this2 + parameter3= + this3 );
return true;
}
Lots of different ways you can do this.
Let me know
