Need help creating...

[Sharif]

I am trying to create this:

Get certain data from a database, and list them with checkboxes next to them. I want to also have a way to select all checkboxes at once. And then a button called "Activate" that will change the value of the field: 'status' from 1 to 2 for each checkbox that is selected. Can this be done with PHP alone or Javascript? If so how?

Hi,
i think you can do all this with just javascript.
You can ask to a JS forum (search on google...)

Use php only for retrieve data form db.
You can do this with mysql command of php. (Look the link for any example...)

see you

You can do this using either PHP, or JS--The biggest difference is that with PHP, the user will have to submit the page before any of their changes can occur. If you do decide to use JS, the checkall script can be had about anywhere--most JS forums have a least a few versions of this...the other piece is fairly simple(depending on the formfield type)--do an onChange call (on the related checkbox) that reassigns the value of the related "activated" formfield. Its that easy--🙂
