Re: Quick way to test series of integers

Actually that wouldn't work becuase if you tested this you would have noticed that no name or value at all is passed for a checkbox or radio button that is not checked. <input type="checkbox" name="a" value="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="b" value="1" checked> <input type="checkbox" name="c" value="1" checked> In this example $_POST['a'] is not set so you can not check it in a conditional statement. One possible solution here is to use Radio Buttons instead of check boxes. <input type="checkbox" name="a" value="0" checked><input type="checkbox" name="a" value="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="b" value="0"><input type="checkbox" name="b" value="1" checked> <input type="checkbox" name="c" value="0"><input type="checkbox" name="c" value="1" checked> It's a bit more cumbersome visually but it's the proper way to get the functionality you want. Now $_POST['a'] is set and contains 0. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Kaiser" <paukai@illinimedia.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 3:35 PM Subject: [PHP] Quick way to test series of integers > Hey there, > > I have around 50 checkboxes on an HTML form.
