Exactly. I expected to get all instances of Johnson or of John but I got
only 1 and I saw that there were others, so that didn't seem right.
And, if I may point out, the instructions are not available if js is not
enabled O:-)   so that leaves only intuition to decipher things
especially if you only want to do a search.

BTW - I seem to have solved the problem of filtering the inputs. Was
rather simple: just use one form for each search.
And to avoid using @ for the error of $_POST['select'] one just has to
declare one just has to declare
$_POST['submit'] = ""; at top of script. :-)  (I'm learning, I'm
learning) - now I have to check it all out.

When I enter names and click on one of the search buttons, I don't get

Okay, if you enter "Johnson" in the last name text box and click the

H I've looked at your demo and, frankly, don't see it working.
When I enter names and click on one of the search buttons, I don't get
sane results. For instance, entering Johnson in last name and John in
first name, I click on search first name and I get an entry from page R
for first name John and Last name Raab. Doesn't make sense.
Anyway, I have my setup working using $_POST which gives me an array of
the inputs plus the submit string all in a one-dimensional array. Great.
Now I'm playing with how to set things up to eliminate extraneous inputs
which will be made, will, will not. So, filtering becomes rather
important and complicated.
I thought switch would work, but it doesn't look promising.
I can clear the 'submit' string by declaring $_POST['submit'] = ""; at
top of page; which seems strange??
But I can't figure out how to eliminate or avoid extraneous inputs. In
other words,
If I have input in the Search Title field and input in any one or all of
the other search options, clicking on Search Title the returned array
includes all options I'm not sure how to filter that. :-\
Is there some way to set the other inputs to null when choosing the
search? Without js?

Gee, Tedd,
That was fun. You were right. It's a hell-of-a-lot simpler.
I did get the complicated way to work as well... :-D  but your
suggestion is much simpler.
The KISS principle always wins out! Thanks again.

Phil:

The user has to enter something in to do a search right? So why not 
use what they enter as the type of search they what?


Like so:

http://php1.net/a/edit-db-demo/

Here a user can search for a Last name, first name, or email. Note, 
there's no checkboxes because the user indicates what they are 
searching for by where they place their search criteria.

I think you need to explain more precisely what you are doing.

However, an appropriate use of client-side processing vs.
server-side process is always a factor in a good web app.

You *could* disable stuff via choices that are made with
PHP, but it requires a submission of data. Javascript would
allow you to disable certain things without a submission.

First, I'd like to hear more clearly what end result you
are going for.

Another JS approach I found recently:

Rather than refer to the checkbox as document.form_name.box[] (which
fails in javascript), use: document.form_name['box[]'].

Let PHP use the NAME= attribute, and JS use the ID= attribute

name="box[1]" id="box1"

[PHP] checkboxes problem

[blueboy]

Hi,

I have a checkbox array (about 20 lines)

input name=\"box\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"$id\">
input name=\"box\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"$id\">
input name=\"box\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"$id\">

I do some client side checking with javascript however the javascript array

name=\"box\"

does not match the php version,

 name=\"box[]\"

 So either my client side stuff works or the php array only returns 1 value 
when posted. Is there any way to for this to work?

Re: [PHP] checkboxes

[Brent Baisley]

Excellent response. You should always be expecting certain data. So  
if no checkboxes are checked, your code should realize that since it  
was expecting the data and none was submitted.
The "lazy way" is much easier to code, but it is actually fairly  
efficient. You are only hitting the database twice, once of the  
delete and once for the bulk insert. On a fixed record length table,  
the lazy way may actually be quicker.

This is a good example on how *not* to trust data via form data
posted.  I'm assuming you have some sort of one to many relation
going on:

  table lot {
id int,
lot varchar(255)  -- Lot 1 
  }

  table vehicles {
id int,
name varchar(255) -- Car 1, Car 2, etc... 
  }

  table lotvehicle {
lot_id int,
vehicle_id int,
  }

The form value of cars[X] where X being the id of vehicle and the
value of 1 being it is selected (although with  the form definition
you just want to know if if cars[X] is defined.).

So we have a form that will eventually need to knnow  what values
should be selected. Potentially data alreadly exists that may have
the same records. There are two options (or perhaps more) to
approach this:

Decide as we go approach and clean up:

  1) Grap the 'vehicles' currently assoicated with the 'lot'
  2) if 'vehicle' is currently selected do nothing
  3) if 'vehicle' is a new item we should add 'vehicle' as long as it

[PHP] checkboxes

[blackwater dev]

I have a form where I am dynamically building a bunch of checkbox
inputs.  Then when submitted, I need to update the db.  Problem is, of
course, if the checkbox is unchecked then the $_POST doesn't have the
value in the array.  How can I get the value from $_POST even though
it's unchecked?

For example, here would be the generated form:

Car 1
Car 2
Car 3
Car 4

Then in the update I loop through:

foreach($_POST[cars] as $id=>$value){
//update vehicles set value to yes or no

}

But, if the unchecked values aren't in $_POST, how do I know to update them???

Thanks!

You have this SQL:

$media_query = 'SELECT media_id,media_name FROM media GROUP BY media_name';

And

"For every media_id which is associated with $cartoon in the table 
media_art, check the box; for all others leave them unchecked."


The problem is, the SQL you have is not returning every media_id 
(because you're grouping on media_name).  I wonder if you truly need to 
group on media_name.  I would assume that media_name is unique in the 
media table.   If it is not, then you need to rethink your table 
structure.  If you group on media_name and there are duplicate 
media_names, you can have data like this:


media_id media_name
4Name1
16   Name1

Grouping by media_name as in your query above will produce a line like:

media_idmedia_name
4   Name1

You then output this to check boxes and use those to set the relation to 
art and media.  But what's the difference between media_id 4 and 
media_id 16?  In this case, if the database always returns the group by 
this way, you would never set the media_id 16.  If there is a distinct 
difference between media_names with different ids, then I think you 
probably need to make some changes.


That being said, if you do not need to group by media_name, then you can 
simply do something like this:


select media.media_id, media.media_name, media_art.art_id, from media 
left join media_art on media_art.media_id=media.media_id and 
media_art.art_id=$cartoon['art_id']


Which would return a table like this if $cartoon['art_id']=15:

media_idmedia_name art_id
4   Name1  NULL
8   Name2  15
12  Name3  NULL
16  Name4  15
17  Name5  NULL
18  Name6  NULL

You could then test the output of art_id:

$checkbox_media[] = "value='{$media_rows['media_id']}' 
".(rows['art_id']==$cartoon['art_id']?" 
checked":"")."/>{$media_rows['media_name']}  ";

I am having a problem with checkboxes...

$_SESSION['logs'] .= "DateTimeIP 
AddressPortLog MessageDetails?";
require 'database_script.php';
$table = "logs";
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table ORDER BY date",$db)or

list($id,$date,$time,$ip,$host,$referer,$agent,$page,$pagecount,$message,$session)

// Begin checking if variables are present...
if (empty($_POST['id'])) {
  unset($_SESSION['details']);
  $_SESSION['details'] = "  You must select an access log(s) 
to view the details of";
} elseif (!empty($_POST['id'])) {
  unset($_POST['details']);
  $_SESSION['details'] = "You have selected record number...";
} else {
  unset($_SESSION['details']);
  $_SESSION['details'] = "  You must select an access log(s)

I think it has something to do with the naming or values of the 
checkboxes but if someone could shed some light on it that would be great.

What you could do is this:

$query = "SELECT field_name FROM table"
$result = mysql( $dbname, $query );

while( $dataRow = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result )) {
  echo '';

}

On submission, all your checboxes will be here:

$_POST['checkboxes']

and you can iterate through that to see what fields/checkboxes
were set.  No fuss, no muss and no billion if( isset( $checkbox )).

You could name them as:

Then $_POST['choice'] will be an array of the boxes chosen.

$list = implode(',',$_POST['choice']);

will give you a comma separated list of all items chosen.

Hi all,
 
I am wondering what would be the best way to handle checkboxes. I am
making a site that will display several items in a 20-items-per-page
format and each item will have a checkbox next to it for the user to
select them. Now, what I need to do is to record the items selected by
the user when clicking the "Next button" into a MySQL table. Should I
name all the checkboxes the same, using the item IDs as values and then
use an array to see which ones where selected or maybe another thing?

I think I'd just use like






then you can loop through it with foreach($_POST[box] as $BoxID => $Value)
.. I assume the recieving script knows what boxes it expects?

You could try this:




So basically when it get submitted, you'll have either a 0 or 1 response
to know whether or not it has been checked.

Does this help?

[PHP] Checkboxes

[Cesar Aracena]

Hi all,
 
I am wondering what would be the best way to handle checkboxes. I am
making a site that will display several items in a 20-items-per-page
format and each item will have a checkbox next to it for the user to
select them. Now, what I need to do is to record the items selected by
the user when clicking the “Next button” into a MySQL table. Should I
name all the checkboxes the same, using the item IDs as values and then
use an array to see which ones where selected or maybe another thing?
 
Thanks in advanced,

[PHP] Checkboxes and put value in db

[Frank Keessen]

Hi,

Maybe you can help me with the following: I have a list of visitors that want some 
documentation.. I'm displaying a list with a checkbox so i can check the one's that 
received the documentation. So what is must do; it must update a table called 
prospects and set the value of a field called prbrochverst to 1 .
Only problem it doesn't work; can you have a look?


// includes
include("../../conf/config.php");
include("../../conf/functions.php");

// open database connection
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!");

// select database
mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!");

// generate and execute query
$query = "SELECT prospectid, praanhef, prvoorletter, prtussenv, prnaam, pradres, 
prhuisnummer, prpostcode1, prpostcode2, prplaats, premail, printresse, prbrochure, 
prdatumaanv, prbrochverst FROM prospects WHERE prbrochverst = ' ' ORDER BY 
prdatumaanv";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());

$_REQUEST["submit"]=isset($_REQUEST["submit"])?$_REQUEST["submit"]:"";
if($_REQUEST['submit']!="")
{
$idlist=$_POST['idlist'];
$sep=$_POST['sep'];
echo $idlist;
$array_id = explode(",", "$idlist");
foreach($array_id as $id){
if(${"id" . $id} == 1){
$query2 = "UPDATE prospects SET prbrochverst = '1'";
  $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());
}
}
// close connection
mysql_close($connection);
}
?>
>
 0)
{
 // iterate through resultset
 // print title with links to edit and delete scripts
 while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
 {
 ?>
 prdatumaanv); ?>
 
 praanhef . " " . $row->prtussenv . " " . $row->prnaam;  
?>
 pradres . " " . $row->prhuisnummer; ?>
 prpostcode1 . " " . $row->prpostcode2 . "  " . $row->prplaats; 
?>
 premail; ?>
 printresse; ?>
prospectid;
echo "prospectid . "\" value=\"1\">";
$idlist .= $sep . $row->prospectid;
$sep = ",";

 }
}
// if no records present
// display message
else

In further thought on this, I'm not sure that $_POST['skill'] is an array.

Re: [PHP] Checkboxes

[Hugh Danaher]

The following is completely untested but might yield the results you want.
It assigns a value to the skill array, prints the post var, and then (I
hope) advances the array pointer to the next array element:
Good luck, hugh

if (count($_POST['skill'])>0)
{
for  ($i=0;$i".$_POST['skill']."\n";
next($_POST['skill']);  // should advance the pointer to the
next element in the array

[PHP] Checkboxes

[Stephen]

Hi

I am trying to get results form checkboxes on a form.  Each checkbox is
given a value of the id of an item in a table.  What I want to do is find
out what is selected and from there get the id so I can create a sql insert
statement for each selected item.

I can get the item selected but not a value.
I am using:

PHP:

if (count($_POST['skill'])>0) {
 for  ($i=0;$i$fskill[$i]\n";
 }
}

inside a form




I get a number of bullets representing the items I check but no value!

Thanks,

Stephen

Re: [PHP] checkboxes & php

[Didier McGillis]

Then I would do what John Holmes suggested.

---John Holmes...

Or name them as an array, "user[]" so that you have a $_REQUEST['user']
array. Checkboxes are a little pecular in how they come across into PHP. If
you search the archives you'll get some good examples.

replace 'No' with whatever you want for an unchecked box

isset($_POST["chk1"]) will only be true if the checkbox is checked.

Hi,

1) like Bastian already pointed out, you need to name your checkboxes
"val[]" in order to have PHP recognize them being an array.

2) You cannot use "isset($val[0])" and "isset($val[1])". If any checkbox is
clicked, $val[0] will always be set. If only one is clicked (regardless
which one) index 0 will be set and index 1 unset.

Instead, you should
  if(is_array($val)){
  if (in_array('a', $val) && in_array('s', $val)) $eval='as';
  elseif (in_array('a', $val))$eval='a';
  elseif (in_array('s', $val))$eval='s';

However this would give you the very same result, but much more elegant:
   $eval = join('', $val);
And it will automatically handle all further additions when $val[] might
have more possible values except 'a' and 's'.

Putting your form element creation into functions or even classes makes life

Hi, as a beginner I find the way you declare variables through HTML-forms
quite straightforward. But the reverse, to put the same variables back into
a form field is not so obvious for selection lists and checkboxes.

If you have hundred thousand elements for example if you rob up for some
country select within tierce code-

I thinks doing like the following is better

echo "
a
b
...
zz
$value

" ;

And I don't care if it could have 2 same value in the select case...

And if there aren't many value, I think the following  sounds better:

echo "

A
B

For something like this, instead of doing all the HTML, I would set up

for ( $i = 0; $qual_array[$i]; $i++ ) {
	if ( $_POST['qual'] == $qual_array[$i] ) {

Just one thing, as someone noted a week ago or so, you can't use the [] 
syntax *and* javascript. If you also need to process your checks from 
jscript side you shall resort to some older method and have your 
variables called like

 NV
 NV

then process it with variable variable names (the $$ syntax).

The latter.  But note, if a box isn't checked, it's not going to be 
sent, so won't be in the array.

   
NV
NH
NJ
   

In this case $_POST['checkbox'][0] would be 33 and ...[1] would be 34.

Sometimes it's handy to identify the key upfront:

   
NV
NH
NJ
   

That would yield $_POST['checkbox']['34'] = 40.

A nice way to handle incomming checkboxes is this:

   while ( list($Key, $Val) = each($checkbox) ) {
  #  do what you need to do...
  #  for example, show what was sent...
  echo "$Key = $Val\n";
   }

Enjoy,

Yes, the second one, only with single quotes.

$_POST['checkbox][1]

Note that arrays start at zero, too.

Here is a page I wrote to explore form processing.  It has a simple form
on it that includes each type of form element (except file upload) and
displays back all input.  It can also be used as a form target and it
will tell you what form elements were submitted.

It was written some time ago and I haven't updated it for the latest
version of PHP so it will most likely require register_globals to be on.

RE: [PHP] CheckBoxes....

[Kearns, Terry]

Don't name the checkboxes all the same, instead:

Option1 
Option2 
Option3 


Then handle it with

function getCheckboxResults($prefix=FALSE)
{
global $_POST ;
$results = NULL ; // needed for 'return' in case no items (v4.1.x)
if(is_string($prefix)){
For($i=0;$i<=count($_POST);$i++){
if(isset($_POST[$prefix.$i])) $results[] = $i ;
}
} else { return -1 ; } // throw exception in script
return $results ;
}

$selectedCKItems = getCheckboxResults('ck');
if(!$selectedCKItems) makeError('Please select at least one item.');

If a checkbox is not selected, the CGI will drop it (as in, not pass on the
name/value pair - meaning the name is not there - which is why you test for
it's existance).

I didn't test that example. But if it works, the function might be a nice
addition to your (and mine) library :)


you might use it like to:
$prefix = 'ck';
Forech($arrLabels AS $i=>$label)
printf('%s \n',$label,$prefix,$i);

Then put this member functions in a class deinition and register instatiated
objects with a session to use them across pages. $arrLabels would be a
property of the class. 'ck' would be the value of another property. Maybe
your foreach statement was in a member function.

OK, I'll shut up now :)

Subscribe to the www-html list at w3.org and ask the guys who look after
this sort of thing if it's a possibility. Realistically, no-one will be

Is there any other way of doing this?  Using the brackets at the end of 
the input's name is super-convenient, making it relatively easy to work 
with arrays and user input in PHP.  I love that.  But I also wish I 
could validate my pages as XHTML Strict.  I know it's not really a big 
deal, it's just a pride-in-work thing.

Alternatively, is there any plans to change the DTD for XHTML Strict to

Until then, I'll keep using them (brackets) b/c there's some things that

Yes, well, PHP supports that a little bit differently.

If you append '[]' to the name, an array will be returned after submit 
with the values of the checked checkboxes.





(submit..)

$test now contains array("1","3");

Re: [PHP] CheckBoxes....

[Ben Turner]

The form i am filling with the checkboxes has several checkbox options that
someone can select subscription types.  The sub types are all generated from
a result set so that the form can grow or shrink by what is in the database
and not by what is on the html code Trying to accomplish this with hand
off maintenace.  When a new option becomes available, add the option to the
db and all the work is done.  the php and the html code doesnt need to be
modified at all

Oh I hope this can be accomplished

Hmm... I don't really understand you question, but when I had check boxes in a 
form, you have to name them all the same but the value all different. For 
example:






Now as far as the PHP script I think you need to use the implode(); function.

Re: [PHP] CheckBoxes....

[Jeff Sheltren]

As far as I know, you can't name different checkboxes with the same name 
(seems odd to me to do this anyway...).  When you submit a form to a php 
page, the php page will have a variable for each input item in your 
form.  So if you have checkbox items named, "a", "b", "c", and "d", and 
submit a form with "a" and "c" checked, then the values of $a and $c will 
be "on", and $b and $d will have no values.  It's sometimes good to use the 
isset() function on checkbox items.  In this case, isset($a) would return 1 
and isset($b) would return 0.  Hope that helps.

[PHP] CheckBoxes....

[Ben Turner]

Don't checkboxes, if you name them all the same name, produce a comma delimited string 
in php of the values selected???

such as for 15 checkboxes with numeric values would produce a string such as

,,,1314,,,18

when the form was submited??  This is the way it was handled in ASP... is there 
something different for PHP?

thanks!
Ben

But what is your question? Does the above code work? If not does it give any 
error messages? Help us to help you by giving us some details :)

Re: [PHP] Checkboxes / Undefined Variables

[Jason G.]

your error reporting must be set to E_ALL.

a very simple way is:
$checkbox_3 = isset($checkbox_3);

Now, $checkbox_3 will be either TRUE or FALSE with no errors!

use : @$name_of_chechbox_3   to suppress warnings
or at the start of the file do :

In am HTML form, checkboxes NOT checked are not passed 
to the PHP script called by the form.

Therefore, if $name_of_chechbox_3 is not passed but it's

How can I avoid this?

[Boaz Yahav]

does anyone know the HTML event that knows when a checkbox has been
checked and unchecked?
So far I'm using onChange but that is not exactly what I need. I need to
run one JS function when a checkbox is checked and another when it is
unchecked.

Name each checkbox "ChkBox[]" ... the brackets are the key.

When the form is submitted, you'll have an array called $ChkBox that will
contain the data only from the checked checkboxes.  You can loop over that
array pretty simply.

for( $i = 0; $i < sizeof( $ChkBox ); $i++ ){
print( $ChkBox[$i] . " was checked" );
// Delete the row from the database, etc ...

[PHP] CheckBoxes and Arrays

[Ryan Stephens]

Im trying to output a list of options, each with a checkbox named "ChkBox"
and with a value of the ID number from the database. This is no prob.
The thing is, i want to be able to select some of those checkboxes (any
number, in combination) and delete the information from the database that is
associated with the ID for that CheckBox.

Example of input tag:
<-->
echo "ID\">\n";
<--->

Now i thought that if i selected say items 1, 2, 3 from the list (and there
IDs are 1, 2, 3) then When i submit the form a comma delimited string would
be created (an array even not sure what it is).

How would i loop through this list and break it apart so i can delete each
record from the database that was selected.

[PHP] checkboxes part II

[Tijmen Hennink]

Hi all,
 
maybe this example will show you what is the 
problem.
Try to unselect some of the checkboxes and you will 
see that there is some magic in here.
I want to have per id if the selectbox is selected 
or not.
The test.html will be generated from mysql when 
test.php is working fine.
I'm getting mad of this...

yeah... that can work, I think it's a little less messy than what I've 
done... I did it like this:

for each checkbox I did
echo " Cb1 ";

then I check if isset(${"asset_".$id}) in my code... it's working fine... 
but it's kinda 'dirty'... I'll try yours... thanks! :)

I would recommend generating these checkbox / text input field combos within
a loop and assign to separate arrays with the same key so you can match them
up when processing later.  Like this:

$num_inputs = 5; // if you want 5 sets of checkboxes and text inputs.

for ( $i = 0; $i < $num_inputs; $i++ )
{
echo "Cb $i \n";
}

Re: [PHP] checkboxes into MySQL

[Kevin McCarthy]

it took me a while to find this out, too.

If you have say, 5 checkboxes, name them like so:







when submitted, in the script processing the form, check the array 
$musicians[]. The checked selections will be included as elements.

So if trane and bird were checked, you will have a 2-element array in 
$musicians[].
$musicians[0] == "trane"
$musicians[1] == "bird"

HTH.

[PHP] checkboxes into MySQL(trying again)

[Jerry Lake]

sorry about that,
I forgot to erase the old post
info

here is a chunk of the code I am using

//inclusion of pizza toppings from DB
$query = ("SELECT * FROM toppings");
$result2 = mysql_db_query($DBName, $query) or
die("Error in MySQL query");

echo "";
echo "";

$colors = array( '#e4e4e4', '#ff' );
 
$i = 0;

while($myrow =  mysql_fetch_array($result2)) {
$counter++;
if ($counter > "4") {
   $counter = "1";
echo "";
}
$name = $myrow["name"];
$personal_cost = $myrow["personal_cost"];
$small_cost = $myrow["small_cost"];
$medium_cost = $myrow["medium_cost"];
$large_cost = $myrow["large_cost"];
$category = $myrow["category"];



echo "\r\n";
echo "".$name."";
echo "\r\n";
}
if ($counter < 3) {
while ($counter < 3) {
echo " ";
$counter++;
}
}
echo "";

echo "";
// memory flush
mysql_free_result($result2);
//end topping section

What I see is that the below is not an array of checkboxes (that would
be , not ).   ... are
part of a 

But, to make a checkbox be checked, you simply do this:

[PHP] checkboxes into MySQL

[Jerry Lake]

I know this has been discussed,
but it messing with me.

in a script I'm working on
I pull out an array of checkboxes
from a database,

how do I store what people select
back to the DB

all I end up with is the last selection
of the array.

for ($i=100; $i>0; $i++)
  print "\n";

But, I presume you would rather do this:
for ($i=100; $i>0; $i++)
  print "\n";

because I can't imagine why you would want to escape double quotes in
HTML.
