RE: [PHP] Re: PHP checkbox/hidden field question

Some check box info here too: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Languages/PHP/Q_20117420.html - Victor > www.argilent.com -----Original Message----- From: Marek Kilimajer [mailto:kilimajer@webglobe.sk] Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 7:24 AM To: PHP Subject: Re: [PHP] Re: PHP checkbox/hidden field question You are wrong, this is from HTML 4.01 specification: value = /cdata/ <cid:part1.07040905.04030208@webglobe.sk> [CA] <cid:part2.09070204.05020804@webglobe.sk> This attribute specifies the initial value <cid:part3.01060804.04070408@webglobe.sk> of the control. It is optional except when the type <cid:part4.05000102.00070403@webglobe.sk> attribute has the value "radio" or "checkbox". Upon submiting a form, only "successfull" checkboxes are submited, so on the next page you only need this loop: foreach($d_c_arr as $i) { echo '<input type="hidden" name="d_c_arr[]" value="'. htmlspecialchars($i).'">'; } $d_c_arr contains only checked checkboxes.
