Re: Checkboxes (LONG): Handling multiple rows

Fortunately, PHP will combine values with indexes, allowing you to do something like this: <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="check[1]" VALUE="foo"> <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="check[2]" VALUE="bar"> <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="check[3]" VALUE="baz"> <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="check[4]" VALUE="quux"> or even <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="check['foo']" VALUE="foo"> <INPUT TYPE="Checkbox" NAME="check['bar']" VALUE="bar"> What happens in this case is that the array elements selected will be defined: print_r($check) gives: Array [2] => bar [4] => quux ['bar'] => bar ) This means you could modify your script to do something like: echo "Processing " . count($check) . " rows"; while (list($row) = each($check)) { echo "Working on rows $row now"; }
