Re: Check Boxes/UPDATE

Matt, Assuming that you have a variable number of records being displayed out of the database: As you write out the HTML, give each checkbox a name containing the ID# of the record that is being written out. Ex: <input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus_1203" checked> <input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus_1204" checked> <input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus_1205" checked> Use code like the following to Write and Read the web form... <?php //Get the DB result $dbResult = mysql_query("SELECT id, authstatus, whatever, whatever2 FROM table WHERE whatever"); //Get the row count $nRowCount = mysql_num_rows($dbResult); //Scan the result for($i=0; $i<$nRowCount; $i++) {

        //Get the current row as an object
        $oRow = mysql_fetch_object($dbResult);

        //Format the checkbox name
        $sCheckName = "chkAuthStatus_" . $oRow->id;

        //When Writing out the Web Form, use this
                $sChecked = ($oRow->authstatus ? ' checked' : '');
                echo "<input type=\"check\" name=\"$sCheckName\"$sChecked>";

        //When Reading in the web form, use this
                //If the checkbox variable isset(checked) then set the authstatus=1
                //Otherwise set the authstat= 0
                $authstatus = (isset($$sCheckName) ? 1 : 0);

                //Update the database
                mysql_query("UPDATE table SET authstatus=$authstatus WHERE id=$oRow->id");

I have a page of jobs with AuthStatus set to 0. Basically I want to list each job title with a checkbox next to it. This I have done. What I really don't understand is how do I make it so that the rows in my table for all the different records when ticked are updated to 1? Please help.
