collecting data?

[biscutty]

Hi all, I am developing a script that reads i directory for images, and then displays all the jpg images in an html table dynamicly.

Below each image the image name is displayed as well as a check box, i want to be able to record the selections of images via the checkbox and write the image name to a file (or database, although i have not yet used databases so i am a bit wary of this), so that uf the page is loaded again the selected images are shown to be selected.

I would like each checkbox to be named with the image name in the loop.

here is my code so far:

<form>
<table width="435" height="325" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="147" bgcolor="#E2E2E2">nother image</td>
    <td width="288"> 


<?	 
$jcthumbs = "../contacts/".$_SESSION['jcglobal']."/thumbnails";
$jcimages = "../contacts/".$_SESSION['jcglobal']."/images";
$dir = opendir($jcthumbs);
?>
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="10" bordercolor="#FF0000"><tr>
<?

$IC = 0; 
	while ($file = readdir($dir)){ 
		if ( eregi(".jpg$","$file")){ 
		$IC++; 
		if ($IC == 1){ print ("<tr>\n"); } 

		print ("<td><img src=$jcthumbs\\$file>\n"); 
		print ("<a href=\"$jcimages\\$file\">$file</a>\n"); 

		//	if (blah = "ha") {
		//		$myImgSelect = "<input name="Selected" type="checkbox" value="" checked>";
		//		}
		//	else { $myImgSelect = "<input name="Selected" type="checkbox" value="" checked>";

		print ("<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Selection\" value=\"picname\">\n");
		print ("</td>");


		if ($IC >= 4){ print ("</tr>\n"); $IC = 0; } 
		} 
	}


	?>
  	</tr></table>

</td>
  </tr>
</table>


</form>

thanks for any helps!

But if you want the checkboxes to have the same name as the file, like "me.jpg" then you put:

old code:
print ("<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Selection\" value=\"picname\">\n");

new code:
print ("<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Selection\" value=\"$file\">\n");

or?? Tried that? Maybe I didn't understand your problem....

I want the to be able to save the names of the checked checkboxes to a file or database, so that when the page is read again the previously selected checkboxes show as checked.

thanks!
