how to do this (javascript or php)

jansky

To all guru

I have a new problem
Now there is one page that contains a list of members with a pagination , and of course this pagination works perfect aside from this there is a checkbox beside the name and this checkbox will be used to Email the members . Now the question is
i want the selected checkbox be remembered whenever i go to other pages or in short "selection must be remembered over multiple page"

sessions are needed to accomplish this..Atleast its the simplest way to do it imo

yes thats what comes in my mind but still need javascript to perform which checkbox is check and store it in session

the user might go to other page page=Prev |1| 2| 3| 4| 5|Next

but dont have any idea how to coordinate the javascript to pass the value and receive by session array

JavaScript can use cookies - document.cookie.

Also, you can use AJAX to send a query to the server containing the checked boxes when the page is unloaded.

Or, you can do a million other ways...think and you'll come up with something good.

Sessions and cookies are not needed to store this sort of stuff - you can simply store it server-side persistently.

Because the pagination buttons will have a side effect (setting a flag on that member), you should change it from a link to a form submit, and from a GET to a POST.

Then read the status of the buttons, store those (however you want to store them, which could be in the session if you like, or more permanently (DB or file)), then move to the next page.

Likewise, read the values back and use them to populate the default checked attributes.

No Javascript, no AJAX required.

You copied my username style = First name, first letter of last capitalized! 😃

And I like AJAX! 🙂 But he's not talking about pagination - he wants the checkboxes to be remembered across pages, not how to do pagination.
