Re: Getting POSTed values from dynamically named checkboxes

Dillon, John wrote:

My problem relates to IF statement in the following code. There are two checkboxes, named altid$thisid, so for instance they become altid36 and altid37. When the form is submitted with both checked, I can read the first altid36, but the second does not pass the IF test. Any suggestions re possible reasons? $checkedalts = array(); $x=0; $y=1; $array_id = explode(",", $_POST["idlist"]); foreach($array_id as $thisid){

    		if(${"altid" . $thisid} == 1){

//OR if(ISSET($_POST["${"altid" . $thisid}"])){ $checkedalts[$x] = $thisid; $checkedalts[$y] = ${"altprice" . $thisid}; $x=$x+2; $y=$x+1; } } The HTML before submission is (without the <!--): <!-- <tr>

                  <td>Whatever</td>
                  <td><input type="checkbox" name="altid36"  value="1"

</td>

                  <td class=textset22><input size="10" type=textfield

value="" name="altprice36"></td> </tr><tr>

                  <td>Something else</td>
                  <td><input type="checkbox" name="altid37"  value="1"

</td>

                  <td><input size="10" type=textfield value=""

name="altprice37"></td> </tr><tr> //-->

Not what you're looking for, but... are you sure you're doing this the easiest way? Try putting your values in an array instead, e.g. altid[36] and altprice[36] Then access through: foreach ($_POST['altid'] as $id => $value) { $price = $_POST['altprice'][$id] } Regards, David -- David Grant Web Developer david.grant@wiredmedia.co.uk http://www.wiredmedia.co.uk Tel: 0117 930 4365, Fax: 0870 169 7625 Wired Media Ltd Registered Office: 43 Royal Park, Bristol, BS8 3AN Studio: Whittakers House, 32 - 34 Hotwell Road, Bristol, BS8 4UD Company registration number: 4016744 ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
