checkbox problem

bluemangroup

hi, i am running into a problem and need your help. I extract ARRAY from MYSQL database that has following 2 fields: item & price

How do i do to compute TOTAL price when for all selected items so that i can pass TOTAL price as a hidden field to the next php script? unfornately, i don't know javascripts.

example:
item1 $3
item2 $5

if item 1 & 2 are selected are selected, then TOTAL price is $8.

<form>

while($row=array_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$item = $row["item"];
$price = $row["price"];
.
.
<input type="checkbox" name"item[]" value="$item">
.
.
.
}
</form>

thank you for helping

print "<form>";

while($row=array_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    print "<input type=\"checkbox\" name\"item[" . $row['item'] . "]\" value=\"" . $row['price'] . "\" />";
}

print "<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Go\" />
</form>";

the formhandler will receive an array like this:

$_REQUEST['item'][1] = 3;
$_REQUEST['item'][2] = 5;

assuming that for item1 = 3 USD and item2 = 5 USD the boxes are checked.

for the sum, just use [man]array_sum/man on the array $_REQUEST['item'].

actually, $item is PRODUCT NAME. therefore,

and each PRODUCT NAME has a PRICE value . I am not sure not to calculate TOTAL PRICE for SELECTED PRODUCT NAMES only. Then, pass that TOTAL PRICE as a hidden field to the next php script.
