Update a lot of data with a form

Anon

I want to update a lot of data (make them active) by selecting a checkbox in a form for each record.
I don't know how to make a variable that keeps the value of the registries which I checked.

I don't know if my explanation is right (I'm not an english spoker), so I can try to improve it.

Thanks,
Santiago

I believe that you can represent the values of the form as an array and PHP (I know this works with PHP4 not sure about PHP3) will convert it to an array when it receives the posted form. Output your form so it looks something like this:

When PHP gets those values it will create an array named $blah with the key value pairs specified in the form.

Is there any possibility to do something like this:

And that forms creates $blah with a value like "28, 23, 69, 125" where the numbers are the record id which I checked?

If I can do it, I can explode it and take the record id in an array.

I don't think this will work because they are all named the same thing. The variable will keep overwriting iteself and then eventually just end up with the value of the last one.

Today I wos browsing the FAQ and there is one which says how to get an array from a form.

It says:

To get your <form> result sent as an array to your PHP script you name the <input>, <select> or <textarea> elements like this:
<input name="MyArray[]">
<input name="MyArray[]">
<input name="MyArray[]">
<input name="MyArray[]">

In response to your last post... that is exactly what I suggested doing from the start. This:

is exactly what you have since discovered in the FAQ. You can name the array whatever you want - I chose "blah". Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how your example is any different from what I originally posted. Am I wrong on this?
