checkboxes

An7hony · August 20, 2010

how would i get checkboxes to work. I have tried:

$JobCategories = ($_GET['JobCategories[]']) ? $_GET['JobCategories[]'] : $_POST['JobCategories[]'];

html looks like:

<li><input name="JobCategories[]" type="checkbox" value="Admin" /> Admin</li>

<li><input name="JoCategories[]" type="checkbox" value="Campaigning" /> Campaigning</li>

what do you really want? If your intention is both category can be selected, and you want to store them in an array, use somthing like

if(!empty($_GET['JobCategories']))
  foreach($_GET['JobCategories'] as $x){
    $JobCategories[]  = $x;
  }

If your intention is to select any of the category, use radio button instead

i would use javascript/jquery to pull the value(s) you need from the checkboxes.

that seems to be working.

Although how do i pull the results i.e

$message = '

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

<body>

<table>

<tr><td>Categories</td><td>' . $JobCategories . '</td></tr>

<tr><td>Company</td><td>' . $company . '</td></tr>

<tr><td>Title</td><td>' . $title . '</td></tr>

<tr><td>First Name</td><td>' . $firstname . '</td></tr>

If i put $JobCategories[] into this it throws me an error
