Need some ideas

MsMittens

I need some ideas on how to deal with this. I'm not looking for code but rather logic (since it seems to have escaped me now and I can't seem to grab. BTW, if you see my logic near you.. please let me know -- too much Cap'n Crunch in the morning).

Anyways, I have a page that generates rows with checkboxes. It's something like this:

Username1 Checkbox1 Checkbox2 Checkbox3 Checkbox 4
Username2 Checkbox1 Checkbox2 Checkbox3 Checkbox 4
Username3 Checkbox1 Checkbox2 Checkbox3 Checkbox 4

Now, not all checkboxes need to be checked and certainly not for all users. So how can I get the script that takes the results of the form and separate out which checkboxes are for which user to add to the database?

I've been trying to use an array stored in session but it's not pulling more than one value.

If I'm not clear, do not hesitate to ask. I'll try to clarify some more.

You could make the checkbox name the same as the username

Username1: a <input type="checkbox" name="username1[]"><br>
           b <input type="checkbox" name="username1[]"><br>
           c <input type="checkbox" name="username1[]"><br>
           d <input type="checkbox" name="username1[]"><br><Br>

Username2: a <input type="checkbox" name="username2[]"><br>
           b <input type="checkbox" name="username2[]"><br>
           c <input type="checkbox" name="username2[]"><br>
           d <input type="checkbox" name="username2[]"><br>

Username3: a <input type="checkbox" name="username3[]"><br>
           b <input type="checkbox" name="username3[]"><br>
           c <input type="checkbox" name="username3[]"><br>
           d <input type="checkbox" name="username3[]"><br>

Username/userid is dynamically generated. How would I put that in?

cgraz

<?

echo $row["username"] . " a <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row["username"] . "[]\"><br>\n";
echo "b <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row["username"] . "[]\"><br>\n";
echo "c <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row["username"] . "[]\"><br>\n";
echo "d <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $row["username"] . "[]\"><br>\n";

?>

And so forth.
