[SOLVED] Posting order for checkboxes

[djones]

I have a cart form that holds:

cart id (hidden input)

part number (input)

configured ( y/n checkbox)

config file (textarea)

quantity (input)

 

If I have say 3 line items in my cart when I post through the loop of item and the last item was checked y for configured it applies it to the first item. How is that? How can I fix it?

 

My test loop looks like this:

foreach($_POST['cart_id'] as $n=>$cart_id_u){

  $qty_u = $_POST['qty'][$n];
  $configured = $_POST['configured'][$n];
  $config = $_POST['config'][$n];
  $inv_id = $_POST['inv_id'][$n];

echo '<p>';
echo '<strong>';
echo $cart_id_u.'<br />';
echo $inv_id.'<br />';
echo $qty_u.'<br />';
echo $configured.'<br />';
echo $config;
echo '</strong>';
echo '</p>';
echo '<hr />';
}

 

Again for some reason if I check the last checkbox item in the cart it applies it to the first one. Here is sample out put where I actually checked part number: 4212904L1 and it applied the checkbox to IAD2431-16FXS.

All if my form field names are in an array, such as cart_id[], configured[] ...etc

instead of confugred[] and such, put the cart_id in the brackets. so your form elements look like:

configured[5]

configured[22]

etc...

 

still keep cart_id[] though, as you can use that to loop on. so, your form elements would end up something similar to this:

cart_id[] = 5
qty[5] = 3
configured[5] = 'on'
inv_id[5] = 'def'
cart_id[] = 8
qty[8] = 1
configured[8] = 'on'
inv_id[8] = 'def'

etc

 

get it?

 

edit:

and the loop would look like:

foreach($_POST['cart_id'] as $cart_id){

  $qty_u = $_POST['qty'][$cart_id];
  $configured = $_POST['configured'][$cart_id];
  $config = $_POST['config'][$cart_id];
  $inv_id = $_POST['inv_id'][$cart_id];
