Check box variables

[Anon]

I am building an HTML table dynamically which includes check boxes for each table row, including a product description from a database.

I want to pass on the user's check box selections to the next PHP script, but can't get the syntax right.

If I do something like this:

echo "<TD><INPUT TYPE = \"checkbox\" NAME = \"chkProduct\" VALUE = "$ProductName\"></TD>";

only the last "chkProduct" variable shows up on the next form (I'm doing a POST).

I know these are passed in $HTTP_POST_VARS but, again, how do I pass all of the check box variables, and then parse them on the next form?

I'm having the exact same problem, and I know it's something simple...It's got to be. I look forward to reading someone's answer

Well, I knew it all along, but sometimes it just helps to ask :

<TD><INPUT TYPE = \"checkbox\" NAME = \"theProduct[]\" VALUE = \"$ProductName\"></TD>

Then, on the next form, I can parse the array values like :

$my_count = count($theProduct);

for ($i = 0; $i < $my_count; $i++)
{
echo "<BR>Product = $theProduct[$i]";
}

I was just going to say you have to give each checkbox a different name. 🙂
