Hey all!

 

Ive got a page full of loads of checkboxes, and I only want the first 15 of them to be stored in some array. This is what ive done so far: (currently getting error: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded )

 

(checkbox page.... )

 

<?php
$site[1] = $_POST['a'];
$site[2] = $_POST['b'];
$site[3] = $_POST['c'];
$site[4] = $_POST['d'];
$site[5] = $_POST['e'];
$site[6] = $_POST['f'];
$site[7] = $_POST['g'];
$site[8] = $_POST['h'];
$site[9] = $_POST['i'];
$site[10] = $_POST['j'];
$site[11] = $_POST['k'];
$site[12] = $_POST['l'];
$site[13] = $_POST['m'];
$site[14] = $_POST['n'];
$site[15] = $_POST['o'];

//get 15 sites to add to database! 
$i = 0;
$n = 1;
while( $foo[15] !== "" ){
$i = $i + 1;
if( $site[$i] != "" ){
	$foo[$n] = $site[$i];
	$n = $n + 1;
}//if
}//while
?>

 

Thanks loads in advanced!

You had one extra '=' sign! Check it now it might works!

<?php
$site[1] = $_POST['a'];
$site[2] = $_POST['b'];
$site[3] = $_POST['c'];
$site[4] = $_POST['d'];
$site[5] = $_POST['e'];
$site[6] = $_POST['f'];
$site[7] = $_POST['g'];
$site[8] = $_POST['h'];
$site[9] = $_POST['i'];
$site[10] = $_POST['j'];
$site[11] = $_POST['k'];
$site[12] = $_POST['l'];
$site[13] = $_POST['m'];
$site[14] = $_POST['n'];
$site[15] = $_POST['o'];

//get 15 sites to add to database! 
$i = 0;
$n = 1;
while( $foo[15] != "" ){
   $i = $i + 1;
   if( $site[$i] != "" ){
      $foo[$n] = $site[$i];
      $n = $n + 1;
   }//if
}//while
?>

I also think that your loop is not correct. I guess that the $i could cause problems. If there are more than one $site[$i]=="" the value of $i will exceed the size of the array, going into an infinite loop.

 

This may help but I would recode the loop

 

$i = 0;
$n = 1;
while( $foo[15] != "" ){
  if ($i<15) {
   $i = $i + 1;
  }
  else {
  $i=1;
  }
   if( $site[$i] != "" ){
      $foo[$n] = $site[$i];
      $n = $n + 1;
   }//if
}//while

Thanks alll, ive done this:

 

<?php
//get db and start session
session_start();
require("../includes/db.php");

$max = "15"; 

$back = $_POST['bg'];
$site[1] = $_POST['a'];
$site[2] = $_POST['b'];
$site[3] = $_POST['c'];
$site[4] = $_POST['d'];
$site[5] = $_POST['e'];
$site[6] = $_POST['f'];
$site[7] = $_POST['g'];
$site[8] = $_POST['h'];
$site[9] = $_POST['i'];
$site[10] = $_POST['j'];
$site[11] = $_POST['k'];
$site[12] = $_POST['l'];
$site[13] = $_POST['m'];
$site[14] = $_POST['n'];
$site[15] = $_POST['o'];

//get 15 sites to add to database! 
$i = 0;
$n = 1;
while( $foo[15] != "" ){
  if ($i<15) {
   $i = $i + 1;
  }
  else {
  $i=1;
  }
   if( $site[$i] != "" ){
      $foo[$n] = $site[$i];
      $n = $n + 1;
   }//if
  }
// set some variables
$user_pass = $_SESSION['user'];
$user_email = $_SESSION['user2']; 

#$sql ="UPDATE users SET bg=\"$back\",search=\"$search\",social=\"$social\" WHERE email=\"$user_email\" AND pass=( \"$user_pass\" )";
#$query=mysql_query($sql, $link)
#or die(mysql_error());

$o = 0;
while($o <15){
$o = $o + 1;
echo $foo[$o];
}

?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.css" type="text/css" />
Done! Please refresh your page!

 

But no values for $Foo[] is being echoed out... any ideas?

 

Thanks!

i'm sorry, but your code ticked me off  :P;D

 

i'm not sure why your's didn't display anything, so here, think works:

<?php
//get db and start session
session_start();
//require("../includes/db.php");

$max = "15"; 

//$back = $_POST['bg'];
$back = $_POST['bg'];
$site[1] = $_POST['a'];
$site[2] = $_POST['b'];
$site[3] = $_POST['c'];
$site[4] = $_POST['d'];
$site[5] = $_POST['e'];
$site[6] = $_POST['f'];
$site[7] = $_POST['g'];
$site[8] = $_POST['h'];
$site[9] = $_POST['i'];
$site[10] = $_POST['j'];
$site[11] = $_POST['k'];
$site[12] = $_POST['l'];
$site[13] = $_POST['m'];
$site[14] = $_POST['n'];
$site[15] = $_POST['o'];

//get 15 sites to add to database! 
for($i = 1; $i <= $max; ++$i){
if ($site[$i] != ""){
	$foo[$i] = $site[$i];
}
}

// set some variables
$user_pass = $_SESSION['user'];
$user_email = $_SESSION['user2']; 

#$sql ="UPDATE users SET bg=\"$back\",search=\"$search\",social=\"$social\" WHERE email=\"$user_email\" AND pass=( \"$user_pass\" )";
#$query=mysql_query($sql, $link)
#or die(mysql_error());

for ($i = 1; $i <= $max; ++$i){
echo $foo[$i];
}

?>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="windowfiles/dhtmlwindow.css" type="text/css" />
Done! Please refresh your page!

 

if you get an error telling you that $foo is undefined (like i did at first  ;) ) just add $foo = array(); under the declaration of $max.
