Database project...

[Anon]

I could use litle help here 🙂

I'm designing, well, don't know the word for it in english but here goes:

This is a "horse center", people need to be able to register, upload to a mysql database some text and some photos... Now, the problem is...

<pre>

			Fet 
			<input type="checkbox" name="fet" value="1">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Tölt 
			<input type="checkbox" name="tolt" value="1">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Brokk 
			<input type="checkbox" name="brokk" value="1">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Stökk 
			<input type="checkbox" name="stokk" value="1">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Skeið
			<input type="checkbox" name="skeid" value="1">

</pre>

Don't mind about the language, it's Icelandic, but is this the right way to have this... This is an option how horses walk or run or something like that... I need to be able to put this info into mysql, but I need to be able to confirm that they choice this... If you have any idea what I'm talkin about, please try responding to this...

Thanks,
Arni

You can simply do "echo" on next page for variables taken from form.

Than you do Submit (if everything is OK) or Back (for modifying the data).

Yes but how do I take the variables from:

			Fet 
			<input type="checkbox" name="gangtegundir" value="1">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Tölt 
			<input type="checkbox" name="gangtegundir" value="2">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Brokk 
			<input type="checkbox" name="gangtegundir" value="3">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Stökk
			<input type="checkbox" name="gangtegundir" value="4">
			&nbsp;&nbsp;Skeið
			<input type="checkbox" name="gangtegundir" value="5">

Do I use for loop? If so then how... because it hasn't work so far...

That's my problem... 🙂

'name' argument holds the variable.

If you say <input type="checkbox" name="gangtegundir" value="1">

you need to do echo "$gangtegundir" on next page to see the value of that variable ...

I usually take a little different approach to determining which checkboxes have been highlighted. First, I'd prefix the "name" of each checkbox with a unique identifier, such as "horses-" (or the Icelandic equivalent). I'd also get rid of the value. Then, I loop through $HTTP_POST_VARS and save the form names that begin with "horses-". Keep in mind that an unmarked checkbox name will not appear in $HTTP_POST_VARS. For ex.,

$horse_items = array();
while (list($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if (ereg("^horse-", $key) && $HTTP_POST_VARS[$key] != "")
{
$save_key = ereg_replace("^horse-", "", $key);
array_push($horse_items, $save_key);
}
}

Best,

How about this way...

<input type=checkbox name=horse[] value="fet">Fet
<input type=checkbox name=horse[] value="tolt">Tolt
<input type=checkbox name=horse[] value="brokk">Brokk
<input type=checkbox name=horse[] value="stokk">Stokk
<input type=checkbox name=horse[] value="skeid">Skeid

Then on your second page, you would just do this.

echo "You selected the following horses: " . implode(",",$horses);

It would list any one you selected, seperated by commas. Simple, eh?
