Array error, help!

uncaringuser · May 18, 2012

I am not adequate at PHP at all, I mostly dabble in HTML and CSS. The problem here is that I have a form which has been assigned unique variables via database. The user would select a checkbox and the value associated with it based on its name and id, would display the appropriate value on the next page. For whatever reason when I active my form it just comes up with the word "Array".

Below is the code for both pages and I would be greatly appreciated if you could help me resolve this error and point me in the right direction to achieve my goal.

FORM WITH UNIQUE VARIABLES

<code>

<?php

$con = mysql_connect("database details");

if (!$con)

{

die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());

}

mysql_select_db("webnw_catering", $con);

$result= mysql_query("SELECT * FROM starters WHERE category='meat'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

{

$nameid = $row['nameid'];

$amountid = $row['amountid'];

$title = $row['title'];

$checkbox = $_POST['checkbox'];

echo"<tr>";

echo"<td>";

echo"<p class=\"form2\">";

echo $row["title"];

echo " - £";

echo $row["price"];

echo"<br>";

echo"<span class=\"subtext\">". $row['subtext'] . "</span>";

echo"</p>";

echo"</td>";

echo"<td class=\"addon\">";

echo"<input type=\"checkbox\" class=\"largecheckbox\" name=\"checkbox[{$row['title']}]\" id =\"$nameid\" value=\"$title\">";

echo"</td>";

echo"<td class=\"addon\">";

echo"<input type=\"text\" class=\"amount\" name=\"amount[]\" id =\"$amountid\">";

echo"</td>";

echo"</tr>";

}

echo "";

mysql_close($con);

?>

</code>

RESPONSE PAGE

<code>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</div>

</code>

Did you really post the form? You have no form tags in your HTML.

Your amount is array? Should not be.

I did, and I know but it is, I dunno why it is coming up with it, I'm stumped.

Here's the entire code in a more appropriate format.

Can you upload and give me the link to the database file? I'll sort it out on my localhost later, haven't got the time now. If these 2 php files are all I need. Cheers!
