Check Boxes, Loops and Databases

[supanoob]

Basically, what i want to do is update numerous database fields, if the checkbox linked to their ID is checked. if that makese sense?

 

I will have a page where multiple items will be shown, with a checkbox linked to them using a unique (auto_inc) ID, i then want to be able to select numerous items using the check box, and hit a validate button. I then want all the checked items to update in the database, i want the verified field to go from 0 to 1.

Something like this?

 

The fields in the form (method=post):

 

<input type="checkbox" name="user[]" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="user[]" value="2">

 

The php code to identify which users were checked:

 

if (is_array($_POST['user'])) {
  foreach($_POST['user'] as $id) {
    // $id contains the value of each checked box, process as you wish
  }
}

You didn't ask for anything, other than if your request made sense. Other than that, you only told me what you wanted to do. You didn't ask a question related to PHP or specify what help you need help with. I mean, was there a problem with your code? Is it a logical issue and you don't know where to start?
