Checkboxes and dropdown menus sent to PHP

[webweaver83]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on an order form that has check boxes and drop down lists. Below is the html form.

<form method="post" action="post.php">
<input type="checkbox" name="order[]" value="Item One" />
    <select name="qty[]">
        <option value="" selected="selected">Qty</option>
        <option value="1">1</option>
        <option value="2">2</option>
        <option value="3">3</option>
        <option value="4">4</option>
        <option value="5">5</option>
    </select>
    Item One<br /><br />

<input type="checkbox" name="order[]" value="Item Two" />
<select name="qty[]">
    <option value="" selected="selected">Qty</option>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <option value="4">4</option>
    <option value="5">5</option>
</select>
Item Two<br /><br />

<input type="checkbox" name="order[]" value="Item Three" />
<select name="qty[]">
    <option value="" selected="selected">Qty</option>
    <option value="1">1</option>
    <option value="2">2</option>
    <option value="3">3</option>
    <option value="4">4</option>
    <option value="5">5</option>
</select>
Item Two<br /><br />
</form>

I need the selections to be echoed out on the next page kinda like this

Qty Item
2 Item One
4 Item Two

I can get them to echo out separately, but don't know how to do them together.

Thanks,
webweaver83

$POST['order'] and $POST['qty'] are going to be numerically indexed arrays (starting at 0) that correspond with the order that the fields were submitted.

So, use a [man]for/man loop with a counter (I'll call it $i) that starts at 0 and stops when it reaches (max number posted, e.g. use [man]count/man on one of the arrays). Inside that loop, you'd use that common index - $i - to reference an item from those two separate arrays.

Could you give me a code example. I have not done much with for() loops.
