PHP - Capturing Multiple Checkboxes' Names When Submitting Form
guys, I have looked on google for this and apparently noone is doing it. I have 4 checkboxes and I want to send mail indicating which boxes were checked. the only code I've found is PHP that captures the *status* of the boxes, such as "on" or "off". I want to capture the names of the actual checkbox elements. Here is the code I'm currently testing (which just prints out "on" or "off" to indicate which boxes are checked):
if(isset($_POST['checkboxes'])) {
foreach($_POST['checkboxes'] as $selected){
echo $selected . "</br>";
}
} else {
echo "No Desired Contact Time Specified.";
}
if I check all 4 boxes for instance, I get this: on on on on any way to get the names? thanks! Similar Tutorialshello all, im wondering if it is possible to have multiple check boxes that get created based on the number of rows in a table (one representing each row) Code: [Select] <input type='checkbox' name='approve[$tid]' value='ON'> and then have a submit button at the bottom of the page that will find all of the checkboxes (it could be 1, or 100) and submit it to my form handling page. thanks This select box below does remember and highlight -one- selection after submitting the form. But when i make it multiple, it doesn't highlight any of the selections after submitting. Any idea about how to achieve this? Thanks in advance. Code: [Select] <?php $options_amount = array("0","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10+"); $no_way = $_GET['no_way']; ?> <select class="postform" name="no_way[]" multiple size="5"> <option <?php if ($no_way == 'all') { ?>selected="selected"<?php }?> value="all">Any</option> <?php foreach ($options_amount as $option) { ?><option <?php if ($no_way == $option) { ?>selected="selected"<?php }?> value="<?php echo $option; ?>"><?php echo $option; ?></option><?php }?> </select> I have a controller(generatebill.php) where I have collected all the value from the form(normaluserview.php). I can see my value is stored. But whenever I wanted to display those values in table format in another view(invoice.php in this case), it keeps repeating. For better understanding, I have uploaded the files as well.. Please help

The database table have two columns: the first one 'Id' with AUTO_INCREMENT and the second one 'Name'. Here's the php code for database insertion and the form: ------------------------------------------------------------------ <?php if($_GET['add_name']){ $host = *******; $user = *******'; $pass = *******; $db = *******; $con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die; mysql_select_db($db,$con); $name = $_GET['add_name']; $sql = "INSERT INTO names (Name) VALUES ('$name')"; mysql_query($sql); } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="GET"> Your Name: <input name="add_name" type="text" /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> ------------------------------------------------------------------ After submitting the form to itself once I have multiple Name entries with different Ids. The curious thing is that with Chrome browser I get two duplicate records, with Mozilla - three of them. Seems like mysql_query runs multiple times. It works fine when submitting the form to a separate script and not to itself. Do I miss something? It must be very basic. Can someone please help? I am simply trying to email process a form with checkboxes and then redirect to a thank you page. It works fine as long as at least one checkbox is checked. It breaks if no checkboxes are checked using the implode function to list the "interests". I'm getting this error (and no redirect to my thank you page): Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed... <?php if (isset($_REQUEST['submit'])) { $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $firstName = $_REQUEST['firstName']; $lastName = $_REQUEST['lastName']; $address = $_REQUEST['address']; $city = $_REQUEST['city']; $state = $_REQUEST['state']; $zipcode = $_REQUEST['zipcode']; $homePhone = $_REQUEST['homePhone']; $cellPhone = $_REQUEST['cellPhone']; $interest = $_REQUEST['interest']; $imploded_interest = implode(',',$interest); $comments = $_REQUEST['comments']; $to = 'myemailhere@yahoo.com'; $subject = 'Volunteer Signup'; $message = " <html> <head> <title>Volunteer Signup</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello,<br/>A visitor has submitted the following information from the volunteer page:</p> <p><b>$firstName $lastName</b><br/> $address<br/> $city, $state $zipcode<br/><br/> Home Phone: $homePhone<br/> Cell Phone: $cellPhone<br/> Email: <strong>$email</strong><br/><br/> I would like to help in the following ways:<br/> $imploded_interest </p><br/> <p>$firstName would also like share the following comments:<br/> <q><i>$comments</i></q> </p> </body> </html> "; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .

As result/row is retuned to the user i would like to be able to detect whether or not they have checked a checkbox at the end of each rown in which case multiple rows can then be deleted from the database upon the user clicking a 'delete multiple records' button. I have no problem in being able to display the checkboxes on the webpage but i am a little unsure as to how to refernce them and detect which ones the user has checked. Given my database stores hostnames/IP addresses would it be best to name each checkbox to reflect the hostname or name the value it returns when checked to reflect the hostname. Given the above and that I also store the results of a users search in a $_SESSION['hosts'][][] array how can I then tie the two together? Thanks for reading.

I have a form where I want around 15 different checkboxes, all or some of these can be checked. When the form is sent I insert the fields into a database. I am wondering how I can have only the fields checked saved into the database, without having to have a row for each field. Thanks Chris I have encountered a brick wall trying to use checkboxes. I am attempting to create a small form where I can record if a customer's item has been sent. The way I intend it to work is that the name and ID of the customer (stored in the 'customer' table) are retrieved through a query and displayed in two columns. In the third column is a checkbox beside the name and ID of each customer which, when ticked, sends a value to a second table called 'sentorders' for that particular person. As I am just trying to understand the basics of this for now, a list of all customers will be shown for the time being. The default value of the checkbox needs to be 'No' and if the checkbox is ticked the value should become 'Yes'. When a checkbox is ticked, the customer name, ID and current date are sent to the 'sentorders' table. Only if the box is ticked will the details be stored in the table. The problem I having is how do I set up the checkbox to work as described above. I have had a look at other questions online, but don't understand how it works. Any help would be appreciated. My current code is as follows. <?php $query = mysqli_query ($connect, "SELECT name, id FROM customer"); // Create Table echo '<table align="left"> <tr> <td align="left"><b>Name</b></td> <td align="left"><b>ID</b></td> <td align="left"><b>Order Sent</b></td> </tr>'; // Show Name/ID while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { echo '<tr><form action="order_sent.php" method="post"><td align="left"> <td align="left">' . $row['name'] . '</a></td> <td align="left">' . $row['id'] .

I have my data stored in mysql and have the queries saved seperatley. i.e. price = 0-500, 500-1000.etc. What im trying to achieve is to allow users to select a checkbox that will execute that particular query and also more importantly allow them to select 'multiple' checkboxes that will filter the results accordingly. I have never attempted to code this before although I am aware that it might involve arrays. If someone could give me a nudge in the right direction that would be great :-) hello. can (or rather how can) i put multiple checkboxes in to 1 db column? so, can i do this in 1 table: id - tick box id 1 - 1,2,3 2 - 4,5,6 3 - 7,8,9 and then relate that table to another table tick box id - name 1 - name1 2 - name2 3 - name3 etc.. if so, what format would i use in the db? varchar, enum or set (1,2,3 or '1','2','3') and how would i echo them out with the names from the second table? thanks Hey All, I tried seraching, but I'm not sure what exactly to search for. Here's what I need to do, and any push in the right direction would be great: I have a PHP form, with the Following: Text Box: Student ID Checkboxes for Activities What I need to do is somehow loop through and make a new row for each activity. Example, if I entered Student ID 105 and Activities are Basketball, Baseball, and Chess Team, I need three different rows in the database each listing the individual activity and the student ID. Any suggestions? I know how to do this if it was one entry (radio buttons) but want to be able to enter multiple rows at a time. Thanks! I was wondering if this is possible. I have a list of criteria each with their own checkboxes, and I want to query a database when one or more of the checkboxes is submitted. So if 3 are checked, I want to query the database to find those 3 items. If one only is checked, I want to query the dataabse for one item. any ideas greatly appreciated thank you. this is basically a criteria based search I know how to pull data from sql table and limit down the results, what i wanted to do is pull data from a sql table 'finished' and list data that has paid='0' this is then limited to show the amount of rows set by variable 'maxPay' here is my list what im pulling atm; <h2>Payment </h2> <?php if($userType[user_type]==28){ $queryPay = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM finished WHERE paid='0'&&method!='FALSE'&&method!='credit';") or die(mysql_error()); $queryAdmin = mysql_query("SELECT maxPay FROM `admin`;") or die(mysql_error()); $row = mysql_num_rows($queryPay); //echo $row."row<br />"; $rowsArray = mysql_fetch_assoc($queryAdmin); $rows = $rowsArray[maxPay]; //echo $rows."rows<br />"; if($rows>$row){ $r=$row; } else{ $r=$rows; } $s=0; while($s<$r){ if($_POST[complete]==TRUE){ mysql_query("UPDATE `finished` SET `paid`='$_POST[paid]' WHERE `auctionID`='$_POST[aid]';"); $_POST[complete] = FALSE; } $s++; } $t=0; while($t<$r){ $queryuser = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM finished WHERE paid='0'&&method!='FALSE'&&method!='credit';") or die(mysql_error()); $user = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "username"); //echo $user; $item = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "itemName"); //echo $item; $value = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "marketPrice"); //echo $value; $method = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "method"); //echo $method; $id = mysql_result($queryuser, $t, "auctionID"); //echo $id; //echo $method; if($method=='isk'){ ?> <FORM method="post" action="pay.php"> <input type="hidden" name=complete value="TRUE" /> <input type="hidden" name=paid value="YES" /> <input type="hidden" name=username value="<? echo $user; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name=aid value="<? echo $id; ?>" /> <input type="submit" value="Paid" /><? echo $user." won a ".$item." he selected to receive ".$value."ISK."; echo "<br />"; ?></FORM><? } elseif($method=='ship'){ ?> <FORM method="post" action="pay.php"> <input type="hidden" name=complete value="TRUE" /> <input type="hidden" name=paid value="YES" /> <input type="hidden" name=username value="<? echo $user; ?>" /> <input type="hidden" name=aid value="<? echo $id; ?>" /> <input type="submit" value="Paid" /><? echo $user." won a ".$item." he selected to receive the ship."; echo "<br />"; ?></FORM><? } else{ } $t++; } } else{ echo "You are not an Admin."; } ?> and pay.php: <?php header('Location: /admin.php'); include "connect.php"; echo $_POST[aid]; if($_POST[complete]==TRUE){ $tempID = (($_POST[aid])+1); mysql_query("UPDATE `finished` SET `paid`='$_POST[paid]' WHERE `auctionID`='$tempID';") or die(mysql_error()); $_POST[complete] = FALSE; } ?> at the moment i am listing all my data, and processing it using pay.php, each dataset has a "paid" button, i want to change this to using a checkbox at end of each data row, and a submit button at the bottom. this way i can select which rows to update and tick the checkbox, then click submit and those rows will then be updated the value '0' in db to a value of 'YES'. hope i explained myself clearly enough for some help. im a relative php noob still in training. Hey all.. I have been messing around with some code with a form that has checkboxes on them, and the option of selecting more than one checkbox to submit to the database. However, I keep getting the error," Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in (mydirectory)". I have followed many tutorials and I don't see anything I am doing differently that they are, so I'm sure this is a simple fix, of something I am overlooking, or I am just horrible at this (new person). Here is the snippet of the HTML code for the checkboxes. Code: [Select] <label> <input type="checkbox" name="project_list[]" value="chat"/> Chat Project (age 18+ requirement)</label> <br /> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="project_list[]" value="forums"/> Forums Project (age 18+ requirement)</label> <br /> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="project_list[]" value="content"/> Content/Editorial Project (postcasts, blogging, etc.)</label> <br /> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="project_list[]" value="technology" /> Technology Project</label> <br /> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="project_list[]" value="marketing"/> Marketing, Promotions and Publicity</label> <br /> <label> <input type="checkbox" name="project_list[]" value="designartwork"/> Design and Artwork</label> Here is the PHP code that I am using to do this. Code: [Select] include 'db.php'; mysql_select_db('skylers_training'); if($_POST['submit']) { $project_lists = $_POST['project_list']; foreach($project_lists as $list); //This is the line the code is getting the error on. And the section of the INSERT MYSQL CODE for this part. Code: [Select] $reginsert = mysql_query("INSERT INTO ... // the rest of the code (that works fine) follows this. '$list' // This is the line that is supposed to send data from the checklists to the database. When I submit the form, in addition to the error, nothing is submitted to the database table for the list (everything else works fine). Any insight into this, would be appreciated. Thanks! Hi guys, I am struggling with a form containing multiple checkboxes with corresponding textboxes. Eg.: there are 5 checkboxes (XS, S, M, L, XL) and 5 textboxes (with values 3,4,5,6,8) that correspond to the checkboxes. I give all the checkboxes the name 'size[]' and the textboxes the name 'price[]'. The aim is to have my script set a boolean to true and update the corresponding price if the checkbox is selected. Unfortunately it does not work this way: checkboxes are only put in the array when they are selected, meaning that if I select only checkbox S and L, the array length is 2 only, but array length price is always 5, so size[1] does not correspond to price[1] necessarily. There probably is a better way to achieve what I need. Could anyone point me in the right direction? edit: BTW the number of items is dynamic: sometimes there will also be XXL or some items will be missing and I also need to set the price for items where the checkbox is not checked. |
