Setting a form element value = to existing array?

[rbragg]

Is it possible to set a form element value to an existing array? For example, I have an array called $app:

 

<?php
while (ocifetch($stmt1)) {
  $app = ociresult($stmt1, "FIELD"); # this is an array populated by a query results
  echo "<input type='checkbox' name='reminders[]' value='" . $app . "'>";
}
?>

 

Ultimately, I would like the values in $app to be added to the reminders[] array. Is this possible or can someone divulge a way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance.

something like a foreach loop

 

 

foreach ($app as $row) {

  echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"reminders[]\" value=\"".$row['val']."\">";

}

 

 

???

Thanks for your reply. I don't want to echo the form element for every value in $app. I would like to set the form element = to $app.

I'm taking a guess here that you want to set multiple values to a single radio button?

 

easiest way would be to echo them out as a comma separated value and then explode on processing,

 

if thats not it, then I'm not sure what your trying to do

Best way to do this IMO is to store $app in a session to carry it to the next page... use the checkbox as a boolean

 

<input type="checkbox" name="useApp" value="1"> Use $app?

 

Then check for it

 

if (  isset( $_POST['useApp'] )  )

    print_r( $_SESSION['app'] );
