PHP processing form with checkboxes

[sgalmeida]

Greetings,

I have a form that presents a table containing products /dynamically loaded from MySQL) so the user can edit/delete the products. To edit, I display a link. To delete, I use a <td> with an <input type="checkbox"> object, so the user can delete several in one time. And here is where Î get stucked. I need to process this form with several checkboxes, some selected, others not. How can I do this? Is there any tutorial/article about this? Please help.

Thank you very much.

If you name all of the checkboxes the same thing like "delete[]", and assign the unique record id as the value of each checkbox, this would be real easy. The [] on the end o the name specifies it's an array. So each one the gets checked will be put in this array. When the form is submitted, $_POST['delete'] will just be an array full of ID's that were checked, so you'd delete them.

mine looks something like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="form[products][]" value="Bionic Left Arm">Bionic Left Arm<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="form[products][]" value="Bionic Right Arm">Bionic Right Arm<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="form[products][]" value="Bionic Left Leg">Bionic Left Leg<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="form[products][]" value="Bionic Right Leg">Bionic Right Leg<br>

if ( ! empty( $form[products] ) ) {
	print "<ul>\n\n";
	foreach ( $form[products] as $value ) {
		print "<li>$value<br>\n";
	}
	print "</ul>";
}

Obviously my example was just for displaying what was checked, but that should give you some idea of how to get started...
