ecopetition Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have the following HTML inside a form: <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[0]"/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[1]"/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[2]"/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[3]"/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[4]"/> On submitting the form, I need it so that it the PHP can tell whether the checkbox is on or off for each row. How can I do this? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133900-checkboxes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Example: <?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { echo '<p><b>You chose:</b> ' . implode(', ', $_POST['multiple_choice']) . '</p>'; } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <?php $choices = array('Chocolate', 'Milk', 'Candy', 'Apple', 'Coca Cola'); echo 'What do you like?<br />'; foreach($choices as $key => $choice) { $chkd = (isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][$key])) ? 'checked="checked" ' : null; echo '<input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice['.$key.']" value="'.$choice.'" '.$chkd.'/> '.$choice."<br />\n"; } ?> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133900-checkboxes/#findComment-697015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecopetition Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 Is there a script that can just return on or off for each entry, regardless of how many checkboxes there is? For example, [0] => on, [1] => on, [2] => off Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133900-checkboxes/#findComment-697154 Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, [0] => on, [1] => on, [2] => off Yea, how I just showed you. There is no other way... other than: <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[0]" <?php if(isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][0])) echo 'checked="checked" '; ?>/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[1]" <?php if(isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][1])) echo 'checked="checked" '; ?>/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[2]" <?php if(isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][2])) echo 'checked="checked" '; ?>/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[3]" <?php if(isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][3])) echo 'checked="checked" '; ?>/> <input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice[4]" <?php if(isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][4])) echo 'checked="checked" '; ?>/> But that is just very repetitive, Which is why I opted to use an array for generating my checkboxes in my example. <?php $choices = array('Chocolate', 'Milk', 'Candy', 'Apple', 'Coca Cola'); echo 'What do you like?<br />'; foreach($choices as $key => $choice) { $chkd = (isset($_POST['multiple_choice'][$key])) ? 'checked="checked" ' : null; echo '<input type="checkbox" name="multiple_choice['.$key.']" value="'.$choice.'" '.$chkd.'/> '.$choice."<br />\n"; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/133900-checkboxes/#findComment-697224 Share on other sites More sharing options...
