Multiple Checkbox Problem

[Anon]

Hi all. I have a page where people select kids to sponsor for an event. they pick each child by hitting the checkbox next to their name. The code for that portion is:

<INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=signup[$counter] VALUE=[$child_pk] unchecked>

where $child_pk is the number of the child from the DB and $counter is simply the increment. That part works fine. In the next page, I want to be able to actually see which one have been selected. I tried:

for ($counter=0; $counter<=20; $counter++)
{
if ($signup[$counter]=="true")
{
$str=$str.$signup[$counter];
echo "$str is selected!";
}
}

So far, this keeps telling me that none of the boxes have been checked.

Anyone see my error?

Hello,

Try this:

Make the checkboxs just:
<INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=signup[] VALUE="<?= $child_pk; ?>" unchecked>.

On The next page:

for ($i = 0; $i < sizeOf($signup); $i++)
{
print $signup[$i];
}

in your loop echo out $signup[$counter] and this will show you what your problem is. unless value=[$child_pk] is set to true your right none of the boxes will ever be checked.
