PHP - Checkbox Redux...making Things More Dynamic
I got some great help from DavidAM a few days ago that gave me a working function for updating checkboxes when unselected during an editing process later. I was looking for a way to overwrite the old array of values if ALL of the checkboxes were unchecked.
The SOLUTION was done with some hard-coding of checkboxes names. I have written a function to find out which checkbox names are going to be called for this form (it can be different multi-value checkboxes loaded depending on the Category of Post the user is trying to make). Now I would like to apply whatever values that come up in a foreach loop after querying the WordPress database to the following function so that instead of hard-coding these three separate multi-value checkboxes I can generate the dynamic code that takes the place of the following: Notice that it needs to know the names of the checkboxes first so I need a looping foreach statement that will takes the results of the query before this that returns an array such as example: (cp_checkbox_help,cp_checkbox_new,cp_checkbox_old,cp_checkbox_stuff) What the query returns in names and the quantity count of these names will vary according to the category id that is passed when the user decides to post into a particular category. if($post_id) { // Make sure the checkbox arrays exist if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_charley'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_charley'] = array(); if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_help'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_help'] = array(); if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_hello'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_hello'] = array(); // now update all the custom fields foreach($_POST as $meta_key => $meta_value) { if (cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_')) { if (cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox_charley')) { if (isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_charley'])) $meta_value= implode(',', $_POST['cp_checkbox_charley']); else $meta_value = ''; } if (cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox_help')) { if (isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_help'])) $meta_value = implode(',', $_POST['cp_checkbox_help']); else $meta_value = ''; } if (cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox_hello')) if (isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_hello'])) $meta_value= implode(',', $_POST['cp_checkbox_hello']); else $meta_value = ''; } update_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value); } from a query (I have now built) at this point in the process the script will have returned whatever checkbox names such as cp_checkbox_hello, cp_checkbox_hello, cp_checkbox_charley are relevant to the specific form that is attached to the online Post category a user is trying to Post to. Just what checkbox names are the result of this query will vary according to the Category Id assigned to this Post form. A different category id may bring a different post form to fill out with different multi-value checkboxes names. Which is why this has to be dynamic to take 2 or 3 or 4 or whatever number of names return for checkbox names and then create the following code to handle a variable number of checkboxes that must have the name values filled in. I hope I have explained this clearly enough-- that I want to make the code example dynamic-- right now it takes care of 3 specifically named checkboxes--- I want to get rid of the hardcode and write all of that dynamically, looping through to take care of every situation and every checkbox that may show up. Thank you for taking the time to consider this thoughtfully! Similar TutorialsHello all, I found this dynamic checkbox list online. I have changed it to suit my needs, added some of my own parts but now, after getting past all the terminal errors, it now produces absolutely nothing. Can I get some help on why there is no echo occurring? Thanks! <?php function dynamic_checkbox_table ($sql_str, $col_label, $col_name, $val_checked, $cant_cols_tbl){ $sql_str = dynamic_checkbox_table("SELECT * FROM Categories"); $col_label = "catlevel3"; $col_name = "catlevel3"; $val_checked="S"; $cant_cols_tbl=3; //connect DB and run query $db="TB"; $db_user=""; $pass=""; $host="localhost"; @mysql_connect($host,$db_user,$pass); @mysql_select_db($db) or die ("cannot connect to DB"); $q_resultado = mysql_query($sql_str); mysql_close(); if (mysql_num_rows($q_resultado)==0) exit("no rows returned"); $next_row = mysql_fetch_array($q_resultado); //fetch first row $output = "<table border=\"1\">\n"; //open table tag do { $output .= "<tr>\n"; //open row tag for ($i=1 ; $i <= $cant_cols_tbl ; $i++ ){ //loops as many times as $cant_cols_tbl $row=$next_row; $output .= "<td>"; //open TD tag $output .= (!$row) ? "" : '<input type="checkbox" name="'.$row[$col_name].'" value="'.$val_checked.'" />'.$row[$col_label]; echo (!$row) ? "" : '<input type="checkbox" name="'.$row[$col_name].'" value="'.$row[$val_checked].'" />'.$row[$col_label]; $next_row = mysql_fetch_array($q_resultado); //retrieve next row $output .= "</td>\n"; //close TD } //close for loop $output .= "</tr>\n"; //close row } while ($next_row); //close do-while (and checks if there's another row) $output .= "</table>\n"; //close table return $output; } ?> Here is the issue: I am creating an input form which would allow someone to check multiple boxes. These checkboxes are populated from a table called reasonforcare. Here is my code: Quote <?php $rows = mysql_num_rows($reasonforcare); for ($i=0; $i < $rows; ++$i) { $row = mysql_fetch_row($reasonforcare); echo "<input name='reasonforcare' type='checkbox' value='" . $row[0] . "'/>"; echo $row[1]; } ?> I get all the checkboxes to show up, but at the end of the last database entry there is an extra checkbox! Can someone help me figure out why this is happening? Folks, I need help (Php code ) to generate a Dynamic Text on a Base Image. What i want to do is, to make this Image as header on my Site and to make this Header Specific to a Site, i want to Add the Domain Name on the Lower Left of the Image. Got the Idea? Here is the Image link: Quote http://img27.imageshack.us/i/shoppingheader1.jpg/ PHP Variable that holds the Domain name is: $domain All i need the Dynamic PHP Codes that i can put on all my sites to generate this Text on Image (Header) Dynamically... May Anyone Help me with this Please? Cheers Natasha T. ok , here is my mysql code to get all posts from the posts table . Code: [Select] $query = mysql_query("SELECT id,to_id,from_id,post,type,state,date FROM posts WHERE state='0' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 50"); and here is the code to display the users friends... Code: [Select] $sqlArray = mysql_query("SELECT friend_array FROM myMembers WHERE id='" . $logOptions_id ."' LIMIT 1"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sqlArray)) { $iFriend_array = $row["friend_array"]; } $iFriend_array = explode(",", $iFriend_array); if (in_array($id, $iFriend_array))see now i got as far as , if(in_array($id, $iFriend_array)) How would i put these togeather to where it would get the posts from the posts table that there friends posted? By not using the order by function in SQL. Like I have $match_1 and $segment_1. They are two seperate tables so how would I order them like the ORDER BY in sql. Is there a way to do that? This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=328221.0 Ok If anyone read my recent topics they will know I am making a forum system This system for users is currently about 1/3 complete and I now have a couple of issues. Firstly: When a user logs in I am using $_SESSION['RAYTH_MEMBER_ID'] to save their member ID for when they return. However every time the browser/page is closed it doesn't save and then they are logged out. How would I set it so it keeps them logged in until they personally logout? Secondly: Since It's a forum you expect there to be new lines and stuff when you Read posts in threads (like we do here). How would I set it when a user posts it replaces every return character from the input (enter/newline etc) and replace it with <br> in the mysql database? Thanks for your help ok so i have my login page all set up and working good , but i want to add a special thing to where after 3 login attempts it locks the account for like 30 mins , and notifies the use by email that someone is trying to login and failed... what would be the best way to do this? How can i make code which can do something when time is 00:00 ? Is that possible in php, and if not any suggestions? Hey guys! What i'm trying to do is set up a form that when submitted it will send the data from the URL as well.

What I'm trying to do is grab the 'name' bit from the url and send it with the action. Any ideas on how I could do this? Hi I want to reduce the size of an image. Using Pascal this takes one line of code. However in php so far my research shows me that I need to use a library. (JQuery with a plug-in) Is this normal. To get the real power out of php will I need to use libraries.. I am happy with php. I just need to know how best to use this language.. Thank you.. I am trying to find a job doing PHP and MySQL. I have a portfolio section where I created a really simple Postcard application where visitors can send people they know online postcards via email after they click on confirmation link i send them using sha1() as token in a temp table that holds information. I was also going to add a section where I show usage of Regular Expressions and things. Does anybody have any suggestions what other web apps or whatever I could add to this section to make my portfolio section really POP to potential employers? Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated. Hi all, I've just finished sorting my Inbox code for my website which all works apart from deleting more than one message at a time. if (isset($_POST['Deleteselected'])){ foreach($_POST['radio'] as $value) { $numm++; mysql_query("DELETE FROM inbox WHERE id='$value'"); } echo "<table class='table' width='30%' align='center' cellpadding='0' border='1' cellspacing='0'> <tr> <td class='header' align='center'>Success</td> </tr> <tr> <td align='center'>$numm messages deleted!</td> </tr> </table><br /> "; } $row = mysql_fetch_array($get_messages2); if($row['read'] == 0) { echo '<tr><td><input class="input" type="checkbox" name="radio[]" value="' . $row['id'] .

I could explain it but i'll show you a picture instead so you understand better.. This is before and after pictures when i click sign up. As you can see, when you click sign up, all the form fields and the sign up button (wich isn't even in this file and uses a different css doc) change. Also there is a big invisible layer ontop of the page after you have clicked sign up so you cant use anything as you can see in picture 5. Any ideas what the problem can be?

The function takes about 7 seconds to run and through a number of different loops it creates one final array with about 15,000 keys. I want to recall this data a number of times in different functions, however how can I have this data easily accessible without running the function each time. EX: Code: [Select] function theFunction() { for($x=0;$x,=15000;$x++) { //Run the loop and store data. $string[$x] = //output from other loops and calculations } return $string } //Then later on if I want to recall the data the only way I know how is to do the follow: $newstring = theFunction() The only problem I have with this is that it has to re-run the function every time in order to get to the data it spits out. How can I store this data into another array outside of the function without having to re-run it? I hope this makes sense. Thanks.

' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Meters / Pack (m2)</option> <option value="m3"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="m3") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Meters / Pack (m3)</option> <option value="Quantity"<?php echo (($result['pack_choice']=="Quantity") ? ' selected="selected"':'') ?>>Quantity</option> </select> Although this works OK, I need it also to show dynamic values like this: select name="category"> <?php $listCategories=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `product_categories` ORDER BY id ASC"); while($categoryReturned=mysql_fetch_array($listCategories)) { echo "<option value=\"".$categoryReturned['name']."\">".$categoryReturned['name']."</option>"; } ?> </select> I'm not sure if this is possible?
