Re: using for loop in function

The function below will create a group of checkboxes it will also check the checkbox that is stored in the table field that is in $select_value this works fine if there is only one value in the variable but if there is more stored like 1,2,3,4 it will not work. I am trying to figure out how to use the following for loop to add the number to each checkbox and if they match mark the checkbox checked $ExplodeIt = explode(",",$select_value,",");

        $Count = count($ExplodeIt);
        for ($i=0; $i < $Count; $i++) {
          }

function checkbox($sqlu,$name,$value1,$value2,$select_value){

      $name_result = safe_query($sqlu);
       while($rowu=mysql_fetch_array($name_result)){

echo "<tr><td colspan=\"2\" align=\"left\"><input type='checkbox' name='" . $name . "[" . $rowu[$value1] . "]' value=\"$rowu[$value1]\"";

Pass in an array to this function and then do: if (in_array($rowu[$value1], $selected_items)) { echo " CHECKED"; } echo rest of stuff.... or get the function to handle one item or multiple: if (!is_array($select_value)) { $select_value = array($select_value); } If that doesn't work then what are you passing in (ie what is $select_value) and what is in the data (print_r($rowu)) ? -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/
