RE: [PHP] Re: Checkboxes

Something I've done in Perl is when creating the page with multiple checkboxes, I create the checkbox like this: <input type=CHECKBOX name=check~$name > And then when the page is posted, split each of the posted variables by the '~' and by this you can tell which items were checked. Just one way to do it. Stanley G.

How doesn't it work? Is it not passing the correct values, etc.? Please describe in more detail. Depending on what you're trying to do, I would change this line: echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type='checkbox' name='".$name."' value='".$id."'>&nbsp;&nbsp;$name<br>"; to: echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;<input type='checkbox' name='models[]' value='".$id."'>&nbsp;&nbsp;$name<br>"; This will add all the id's for all items to an array named "models" that can be accessed through $_POST['models'] in the action script. Then, in add_prodrel.php (the action script), do print_r($_POST); to see what form elements and values are truly being passed. Also, you may try print_r($_POST['models']); to see what's being passed in the models array. Hope this helps you debug your problem.
