note 71048 added to language.variables

I had the issue of numerous HTML form checkboxes under separate groupings and not wanting to evaluate each checkbox individually. PHP's variable concatenation allowed me to vastly simplify this process by defining each checkbox grouping in a uniform name followed by incremental integer, then executing this code: <? $groups = array(27 => 'infants', 28 => 'toddlers', 41 => 'teens'); foreach ($groups as $count => $name) for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) if (${$name . $i}) ${"total_" . $name} .= ${$name . $i} . ", "; ?> From here you can store $total_* variable(s) and retrieve them exploding on a comma delimiter. ---- Server IP: 66.163.161.117 Probable Submitter: 128.192.83.117 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/71048 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/71048 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/71048 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
