RE: [PHP] Need to maintain the integrity of the checkbox
[snip] I have created a form that lists the possible sponsorships of various events. I need to keep the names of the checkbox to identify the specific event, but the value is a dollar amount that needs to pass thru to the checkout area function. Without creating an array that would loose the events names (some events have the same dollar amount), how can I capture the dollar value(s) checked an pass them to the checkout form? [/snip] I don't think you explained this well, but I'll take a shot input type=checkbox name=EventFoo value= When this is passed to processing via a POST event it becomes $_POST['EventFoo'] (that contains the value entered in the form, like 5 bucks) So for each event name you will have a like POST array item containing the value.

RE: [PHP] Need to maintain the integrity of the checkbox
[snip] Your right, I didn't explain fully. If I have two events where the value=$5, then after I have looped thru the array I know they want to pay the $5, but not which event that goes to because multiple events are that value. What I'm thinking I'll do is make one array and give each event a #, then after checking for the selected checkbox, validate which number and pass thru the event and corresponding dollar amount. Sound like the best solution? If not, I hope I have explained a little more precise. [/snip] A. Always reply back to the list in case the responder is no longer available which may leave you hanging. 2. Even though multiple events have the same value ($5) they are listed in the POST array according to the name the event input was given in the form. You do not need to do the above unless you have a badly done form. Why don't you send the code from the portion of the form we are talking about and we can help better. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. However you seem to be wanting to pass around monetary values via forms. In general this is a VERY BAD idea. Data submmitted from forms should not be trusted. Instead you should only link the events to their monetary values (using a back-end lookup table or whatever) AFTER the form is submitted. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured. -- Konrad Adenauer */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Need to maintain the integrity of the checkbox
Example of form: td height=52 align=left valign=middleinput type=checkbox name=wbc_Money value=$5000 Power of Money Series ($5000) img src=images/sold_Out.gif border=0Power of Politics ($3500)br input type=checkbox name=wbc_Wine value=$1000 Power of Wine nbsp;nbsp; input type=checkbox name=wbc_Golffall value=$3500 Power of Golf (Fall) Series ($3500)br input type=checkbox name=wbc_Golfspring value=$3500 Power of Golf (Spring) Series ($3500)/td So the dollar amounts are the same for three of the four events, but this is just a snippet of about 20 items. If I take out the dollar amounts, and just populate an array with what are now the descriptive names, I can assign dollar amounts in the checkout script. Am I on the right track? -Original Message- Subject: RE: [PHP] Need to maintain the integrity of the checkbox [snip] Your right, I didn't explain fully.
