Validate Checkboxes

[Myriadz]

Hi, how do I validate that at least one checkbox is selected?

domain is the general name of all the checkboxes
THanks

if ($_POST[domain])  {


       $send = "YES";


} else {


$domain_err = "Please select the account to terminate.<br>";     

      $send = "NO";

Check boxes cannot have the same name. You may be looking for radio buttons, which can only have one selected.

For check boxes, you're going to have to cycle through each name manually, with an or:
if ($checka == 1 OR $checkb == 1) { }

My checkbox isn't static.

Values are taken from the database.

And there is no definite number of checkboxes.

See the code below.

<?

$x = 0;

while ($num_domains > $x) {

$domain = mysql_result($query_domains,$x,"domain_name");

?>



<input type="checkbox" name= "<?= $domain ?>" value= "<?= $domain ?>"></input>



<?

echo "$domain<br>";

$x++;

}

?>

<input type="checkbox" name= "checkbox[]" value= "<?= $domain ?>">

Then check the array $checkbox for values.

like that?

if ($_POST[domains[] != ""]) {

[cgraz]

using

<input type="checkbox" name= "checkbox[]" value= "<?= $domain ?>">

You'd check it like this

   if($_POST["checkbox"]) {
      echo "atleast one checkbox has value";
   } else {
      echo "No checkboxes have values";
   }
