check box help!! Probably very easy

eviljosh

I have never used checkboxes before so now that I am I have a bit of a problem

I have a function

function viewnotlisted($name)			
{	

$SQL2 = "SELECT * FROM dirlist2 WHERE clientname='$name' AND status='open'";
$viewtab2=mysql_query($SQL2);
if(!$viewtab2)
{
$emsg = "No Table Data";
$emsg .= mysql_error();
echo($emsg);
}	
$countcampaign2 = mysql_num_rows($viewtab2);
$c=1;
for($t=0; $t < $countcampaign2; $t++)
{ 
$QueryData2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($viewtab2);
$dir = $QueryData2[dirname];
echo'<tr><td valign=top"><a href="popedit.php?dir='.$dir.'&name='.$name.'"target=_blank>'.$QueryData2[dirname].'</td><td valign="top"><input type="checkbox" name="boxnot'.$c++.'value="'.$QueryData2[email].'</td></tr>';

		}	

	}

This creates checkboxes with the correct value and a unique name boxnot1 and boxnot2 etc.

I have the boxes displayed in a form created on a new page where I need to send the value of that form with a submit button. I have that set up alright. So how do I get the checked values sent to a new page when submit is clicked????

Yeah, I guess it 'tis; kinda surprising that you'd need to ask, but maybe your search engine foo isn't up to snuff?

define("HELPINGMODE", "OK");

// form.html

<html>
   <title>Do you?</title>
   <body>
      <form method="POST" action="handler.php">
            <h2>Do you, or don't you?</h2>
         Yup!<input type="checkbox" name="yes" value="yes"><br />
         Nope...<input type="checkbox" name="no" value="no"><br />
         <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Answer!">
      </form>
   </body>
</html>

<?php

// handler.php--- handles the data passed from "form.html"

if ($_POST['yes']=="yes" && !$_POST['no']) {
   echo "Oh, you do, do ya?";
} elseif ($_POST['no']=="no" && !$_POST['yes']) {
   echo "I didn't think so!";
} elseif ($_POST['yes']=="yes" && $_POST['no']=="no") {
   echo "You can't have it both ways!!!";
} else {
   echo "System error.  Hire a better programmer!";
}
?>

HTH,
