lurking Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I have a form that lists a bunch of names with a checkbox next to each one. If the checkbox is checked, the data is inserted into my DB. Whereas previously, the checkbox value was just a variable (user_ID), now I need it to be an array to pass two variables (user_ID + db_designation):[code]<input name="user_ID[]" type="checkbox" id="user_ID[]"value="<?php echo urlencode(serialize(array($row_rsPhysicianDetails['user_ID'], $row_rsPhysicianDetails['db_designation']))); ?>" />[/code]I grab the array data via:[code]<?php $user_id_array = $_POST['user_ID']; ?>[/code]and then have been attempting to insert into my database with a foreach() and nested if() loop.[code]<?php if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "attendance")) { foreach($user_id_array as $value) { list($user, $designation) = unserialize($value); if ($designation == "p") { $query = "INSERT INTO course_complete (user_ID, course_ID, course_date, credit_hours, course_session)" . "VALUES($user, '$c_ID', '$c_date', '$credit_hours', '$course_session')"; @mysql_query($query); } }?>[/code]At this time, the insert is not working. Also, when I tried to see if the data was even being collected via:[code]<?php$user_id_array = $_POST['user_ID'];echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST);echo '</pre>';?>[/code]the result was an empty array:Array{}I would appreciate any ideas for making sure the variable $user_id_array is populating appropriately, and then making the insert work with the foreach, if, serialize and list syntax. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
