trouble whit file manipulation

[comodoro]

I can’t get the value of the post in the following code:

<form method="POST" action="files.php">
<table width="560" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<!-- path -->
<table class="files">
<tr>
<td><b><?= filesList(); ?></b></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- path -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<div align="center">
<input name="delete" type="submit" value="delete">
</div>
</form>

//the function show all the files in a directory
function filesList()
{
$selfiles=array();
$file=array();

...

echo ' <td><input type=checkbox method="post" name="selfiles[]" value='.$file["name"].' > ' . icon($files[$i]) .$files[$i]."><font><br/></a></td>\n";

...
}

In the files.php i can´t get the value or the name of that files, can some one help me?

Have a look at the FAQ in the Newbies Forum. Question One. If it's not that, then perhaps showing us the relevant portion of files.php would be more useful.

Also - "method" is a meaningless attribute for an <input> element.

the file.php

$fich=$_POST["delete"];

foreach($fich as $key => $value );
echo "<br>$key is checked, $fich[$value]";

Is $_POST["delete"] a multidimensional array, I dont think so ....

$fich=$_POST['selfiles'];

know is a array! but still doesn't work

You probably should start with a couple of things.

1) Get rid of that method="post" attribute from the checkbox.

2) View the form page source with your browser. Is the HTML being correctly formatted?

3) In the form handler, files.php, do this to see what that script is being sent via POST:

print_r($_POST);

You should be able to find your answer. If not, reply back and tell us what you tried and what happened.
