(Solution) Re: [PEAR] quickform checkbox qustion

B, Thanks again for the pointer. I have it working now! QuickForm is unreal! My solution in case others find this helpful: Part of my QuickForm: ========================================= foreach ($sth as $k=>$v){ $checkbox[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('checkbox', $k, null, $v); } $ib_form->addGroup($checkbox, 'ib_article', 'Choose source articles:', array('&nbsp;', '<br />')); Then on my receiving page: ========================================= $article_arr = $ib_form->getSubmitValue("ib_article"); $article_keys = array_keys($article_arr); : : foreach($article_keys as $articleid) { $insert[] = "('$v_ib_id','$articleid')"; } $article_sql = "INSERT INTO tbl_ib_articles (issue_brief,article) VALUES " . implode(',',$insert); Cheers, Charles On Sunday, March 30, 2003, at 02:36 PM, Bertrand Mansion wrote:

hi all, i can't figure out exactly how to get my group of checkboxes to contain the right data. here is what i have: foreach ($sth as $k=>$v){ $checkbox[] = &HTML_QuickForm::createElement('checkbox', $k, null, $v); } $ib_form->addGroup($checkbox, 'ib_article', 'Choose source articles:', array('&nbsp;', '<br />')); this gives me this set of checkboxes: <input name="ib_article[30]" type="checkbox" value="1" />Article A&nbsp;<input name="ib_article[20]" type="checkbox" value="1" />Article B<br /><input name="ib_article[31]" type="checkbox" value="1" />Article C this is almost there, but what i want to have is this: <input name="ib_article[]" type="checkbox" value="30" />Article A&nbsp;<input name="ib_article[]" type="checkbox" value="20" />Article B<br /><input name="ib_article[]" type="checkbox" value="31" />Article C where the value="" is the value of $k and the name is just ib_article[] - the $v is showing up just the way i like it right now. how is this achieved? thanks.

Hi, That's the way QuickForm handles checkboxes, you can't change it. You can still use array_keys($array) or array_keys($array, 1) to process your checkboxes array. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
