PHP Forms Using Arrays

Jip

What is the correct syntax (php) for sending data via a form using an array?

Egypt?

Anyway, I'm assuming you mean sending form elements with the same name, that create an array in PHP.

<input type="text" name="myArrayElement[]">
<input type="text" name="myArrayElement[]">
<input type="text" name="myArrayElement[]">

Then, in PHP, you get the array:

$array = $_POST['myArrayElement'];

I'm not 100%, but I'm pretty sure that is how you do it.

Spot on, as ever Braddders.

Php arrays are absolutely invaluable. I've written a URL database running on my local machine that grabs urls from Firefox and IE if I put them in a part of the bookmarks called Link Dump, then if you want to move them to a new section on the database or delete them you just tick the checkboxes with their primary keys, e.g.

Then you just go through the list on submmit like

$ids = implode(',', $_POST['changebox']);

$q = 'DELETE FROM urls WHERE id IN ('.$ids.')';
$db->safe_query($q);

The premise is to give an answer as vague as the question.
