FW: [PHP] dealing with arrays

hi this is the piece of code ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ for($s=0;$s<$num;$s++) { $result = mssql_fetch_array($query); $result[2] = number_format($result[2], 2); "<tr border=1>"; echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"item\" size=40 value=$result[0] disabled> </td>"; echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"amount\" size=7 value=$result[2] disabled></td>"; echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"quantity[$s]\" size=7></td>"; echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"discount[$s]\" size=7></td>"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"part_no[$s]\" value=\"$result[0]\">"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"price[$s]\" value=\"$result[2]\">"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"salesperson_code[$s]\" value=$salesperson_code>"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"customer_code[$s]\" value=$customer_code>"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ship_to_code[$s]\" value=$ship_to_code>"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"date[$s]\" value=\"$date\">"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"status[$s]\" value=\"0\">"; echo "<td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"check[$s]\" value=\"1\"></td>"; echo "</tr>"; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ if u can e this is a dynamic forms with some hidden fields all i want is to submit entries with check. something like the web mail system where in you check item w/c you want to save / delete / add to junk -----Original Message----- From: Curt Zirzow [mailto:php-general@zirzow.dyndns.org] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 2:09 PM To: Php (E-mail) Subject: Re: [PHP] dealing with arrays * Thus wrote Ford, Mike [LSS] (M.Ford@lmu.ac.uk): > On 27 August 2003 04:22, Aris Santillan wrote: > > > I Have > > <p>Entry One > > <input type=text name=name[]> > > <input type=text name=tel[]> > > <input type=checkbox name=check[] value=1> > > The way to combat this is to use explicit subscripts in your form field names, like so: > > <p>Entry One > <input type=text name=name[1]> > <input type=text name=tel[1]> > <input type=checkbox name=check[1] value=1> I would also add some structure to avoid all the different variables and makes looping much smoother on the processing script. <input type=text name="elements[2][name]"> <input type=text name="elements[2][tel]"> <input type=checkbox name="elements[2][checked]" value="1"> Then: foreach ($_REQUEST['elements'] as $id => $element) { if ($element['checked']) { // its checked } else { // not checked.. duh.. } } Curt -- "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure." -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
