Multiple Selection

[bouyaka]

Hi all,

 

I will wish to modify this code to get a choice of multiple selection, so I can select multiple category and not a single as it is currently.

 

 

Here is the original code:

    {if $step==1}
    <div class="form_content">
    <form name="newad" method="post" action="newad.php?step=1">
    	<label>{$lng.listings.category}<span class="mandatory"> *</span></label>
    	<select id="category" name="category">
    	<option value="">{$lng.listings.category}</option>
    	{foreach from=$categories item=v name=cat}
    		{if $v.parent==1}
    		<optgroup label="{$v.str}{$v.name}">
    		{else}
    		<option value="{$v.id}" {if $tmp.category==$v.id}selected="selected"{/if}>{$v.str}{$v.name|escape:"html"}</option>
    		{if ( $smarty.foreach.cat.index!=$categories|@count-1 && $v.parent_id!=$categories[$smarty.foreach.cat.iteration].parent_id) || ($smarty.foreach.cat.index==($categories|@count-1) && $v.parent_id!=0)}
    		</optgroup>
    		{/if}
    
    		{/if}
    	{/foreach}
    	</select>
    
    {* ----------------------- levels drop down categories --------------------- *}
    {* 
           <div>
            <select id="category1" name="category1" class="levels" onChange="chooseCateg(this.form, 1)">
            <option value="">{$lng.listings.category}</option>
            {foreach from=$categories item=v name=cat}
                    {if $v.parent_id==0}
                    <option value="{$v.id}">{$v.name|escape:"html"}</option>
                    {/if}
            {/foreach}
            </select>
            </div>
    
            <div style="display: none;" id="level2">
            <select id="category2" name="category2" class="levels" onChange="chooseCateg(this.form, 2)">
            </select>
            </div>
    
            <div style="display: none;" id="level3">
            <select id="category3" name="category3" class="levels" onChange="chooseCateg(this.form, 3)">
            </select>
            </div>
    
            <div style="display: none;" id="level4">
            <select id="category4" name="category4" class="levels" onChange="chooseCateg(this.form, 4)">
            </select>
            </div>
    
            <div style="display: none;" id="level5">
            <select id="category5" name="category5" class="levels" onChange="chooseCateg(this.form, 5)">
            </select>
     	<input type="hidden" name="category" id="category" />
            </div>
    *}
    
    	<br/><br/>
    
    	<div class="buttons"><strong><input type="submit" name="Choose_categ" id="Choose_categ" value="{$lng.listings.next_step}" /></strong></div>
    	<div class="clearfix"></div>
    
    </form>
    </div>
    </div> {* end form_container *}
    {/if} {* end step1 *}

 

 

Thank you for your help

<?php
if(isset($_POST['category'])){
foreach($_POST['category'] AS $category){
	echo 'You selected category: '.$category.'.<br/>';
}
}
echo '<form action="" method="post">';
for($i=0; $i<10; $i++){
$rows[$i]['id'] = $i;
$rows[$i]['category'] = 'category '.$i;
}
foreach($rows AS $row){
echo '<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="'.$row['id'].'" /> '.$row['category'].'<br/>';
}
echo '<input "name="submit" type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>';
?> 

 

You can create arrays of the checkbox names and identify them by their id!

 

Or is it a drop down list you want, where you can select multiple values?

hello,

I tested the solution of Drummin, but other categories are no longer displayed.

it remains fixed on a single category.

 

Thank you for your help

Maybe THIS may help you?

I don't think I've ever seen such a crazy mix of html and php.  The file is saved as html and so I don't see how php can work on this page.  As for the php on the page I don't see any opening or closing <?php ?> tags so again I don't know how it could work.  To be honest, I've never seen lines like

$lng.listings.enter_ad_details

... which looks as though you are directly accessing DB tables and fields.  Where are the mysql_query and where/how are all these variables being set?
