[Check Box Status]

Thanks to you both,

I did forget to mention that the actual script runs from an external include file and I was hoping to not to have to fiddle with every form on several pages but have a global script to adjust what I need.

I guess what I seek is something similar to the javascript :: document.form.textfield.value etc

I cant seem to find reference to similar in PHP.

Your solution is good and it works great, its what I use atm but I am hoping for something more like above.

[Check Box Status]

Hi all,

How does one get a status of a check box from a form via the $_POST[] variable and the assign that same status in a check box of a form on the new page?

i.e if a form has been submited with a check box 'checked' I want to be able to 'check' a box on a different form.

[code]
<?php

if ($_POST['checkbox1']){

      ???;

}

?>
[/code]

thx in advance

Ahh excelent Wildteen, thx

That did the trick except for the ';' .

I am sure I would have tried that but yeah thats coding.

the query refers to including a valid link in a form stored in a varaible that does not cause an error when echoed as that variable from an include file.

Cheers

Hi there,

I am trying to create a form which gets added to a page via an include file but can not work out how to insert ' php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ' in it so when it gets loaded from the variable it actually works.

I have tried many different ways and its got me kind of beat as it either comes back with just useless text or a php error.


current code
[code]

$a_status = '<form action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="form1" id="form1"> ' ;

[/code]


thx in advance.

[header("Location:") problem]

Thx legohead6,

I have played around with quotes etc and on my Windows XP PHP/MySql set-up it works just fine but uploaded to my Apache host server it does not work. :(

[header("Location:") problem]

Hi all

I am stuck with a problem of passing a $_GET[] variable via a header line.

Here is my code ::

[code]

if( $_POST["submit"]){


    $mid = $_GET['id'];    
    $mname = $_POST['threadname'];
    $mbody = $_POST['threadbody'];
    $mtime = $_POST['threadtime'];
    

    $sqled = "INSERT INTO messagereply (threadid,replytime,replyname,replybody) VALUES ('$mid','$mtime','$mname','$mbody')";

  
                 $resulted = mysql_query($sqled) or die(mysql_error());


                  if ($resulted){

                         header("Location: message_board_view.php?id=".$mid);

            }
    }
?>

[/code]

$_GET['id'] is a variable passed from a previous page stored in $mid.

Everything works great, the query and header until I add $mid on the end of my header message where I get the following error on the target page after submiting the form::

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
[/quote]

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Cheers
