[RESOLVED] Posting checkboxes to the next page

hunty

Hi,

I want to post selected items using checkboxes to the next page. The selected items are being dragged from an Access database using PHP.

I was wondering what would you have to do to bring up only the selected items onto the next page?

Thanks

if your posting from a form you can easily replicate it at the other end.

if ($_POST['checkbox1'])
{
echo '<input checked="checked" type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" value="'.$_POST['checkbox1'].'"/>'
}

//or if you dont know what the checkboxs will be name all the checkboxes name="checkbox[dynamicname]"
foreach ($_POST['checkbox'] as $name => $value)
{
echo '<input type="checkbox" checked="checked" name="checkbox['.$name.']" value="'.$value.'"/>'."\n";
}

hope this helps if i understand your question properly

thanks for that, below is the code that im using. im pulling items from my database and then linking them to the check box. im kind of new to PHP, do you think your suggestion would work in this instance?

thanks

<?php

$conn = new COM ("ADODB.Connection") or die("Cannot start ADO");

//define connection string, specify database driver
$connStr="PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\mbsebus08\AHunt\Databases\member.mdb";

//Open the connection to the database
$conn->open($connStr);

echo "Connection Open<br>";
//recordset code
$rS = $conn->execute("SELECT * FROM products");

$f1 = $rS->Fields(0);
$f2 = $rS->Fields(1);
$f3 = $rS->Fields(2);
$f4 = $rS->Fields(3);
$i =0;
while (!$rS->EOF )
{
echo "<tr>
<td align='center'>". $f1->value."</td>
<td align='center'>". $f2->value."</td>
<td align='center'>".$f3->value."</td>
<td align='center'><img src='Images/".$f4->value."'/></td>

<td align='center'><input type='checkbox' name='checkbox".$f1->value."'></td>

<tr>";
$rS->MoveNext();
$i++;
}
$rS->Close();
$conn->Close();
?>
</table>
