[Resolved] Forms and Check Boxes

[baffled_in_UK]

Hi,

I have a problem that I can't figure out (I've tried the forums but can't find anything).

I have a form that can have a variable number of lines. Each line has it's own Check Box, the box name is a sequential value (ie. Check1, Check2 etc), the value of each Check box is a value I need to use to update a table if the box is checked (ie Check1=abc, Check2=def etc).

My problem is how to process the form when Submit is pressed. How can I verify if each Check Box has been selected, I can't figure out how to get the names of each Box.

Does this make sense ?

Thanks

If I were in your position, I would make a hidden form field with the total number of checkboxes. Then on the process page, you could loop through them based on that number.

for($i=0;$i<$hiddenPassedNumber;$i++) {
    if(isset($_POST['Check'.$i])) {
         // update your data
    }
}
