Re: checkboxes & php

Then I would do what John Holmes suggested. ---John Holmes... Or name them as an array, "user[]" so that you have a $_REQUEST['user'] array. Checkboxes are a little pecular in how they come across into PHP. If you search the archives you'll get some good examples. ---John Holmes...

I want them to be given a list of usernames and check the ones they want deleted, so a radio button won't work. If you go to Yahoo mail and select more than one checkbox, you can delete more than one item. I looked at the source and all the checkboxes are called "Mid". Any ideas? /Greg "Edward Peloke" <epeloke@echoman.com> wrote in message news:NFBBIIKNALMFFNANEKEFAEPLDEAA.epeloke@echoman.com... why would you give them all the same name? I can see this for radio buttons but not checkboxes. -----Original Message----- From: Greg [mailto:gregchagnon@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:27 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] checkboxes & php If I have 3 checkboxes labeled "user", but each one has a seperate value, how do I get the values of each checkbox? For example, how would I tell if the following checkboxes are checked? <input type="checkbox" name="user" value="1"> <input type="checkbox" name="user" value="2"> <input type="checkbox" name="user" value="3"> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
