This page is too populate a table of orders that is going out for delivery it then needs to allow a user to select a service and add the weight.

 

As there will be no idea how many rows will be present nor the names of the input how can I declare the inputs so I can successfully update the records with the selected service and weights.

You append [] to the input element's names making the value an array of values.

<?php # on form create
         while( $row = msyqli_fetch() ) {   # 1 or more expression not complete.
                       echo '<input type="checkbox" name="id[' . $row['id'] . ']" value="1" /> input type="text" name='weight[' . $row['id'] . ']' value /> <br />';
          }
?>

<!-- creates something like this -->

<input type="checkbox" name="id[MYSQL_RECORD_ID_HERE]" value="1" /> input type="text" name='weight[MYSQL_RECORD_ID_HERE]' value /> <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="id[NEXT_RECORD_ID_HERE]" value="1" /><input type="text" name='weight[NEXT_RECORD_ID_HERE]' value /> <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="id[LAST_RECORD_ID_HERE]" value="1" /><input type="text" name='weight[LAST_RECORD_ID_HERE]' value />

<?php  # on postback
    foreach($_POST['id'] as $record_id => $nothing_useful){
           $sql = "update tOrders set weight=" . (float)$_POST['weight'][$record_id] .  "where order_id =".(int)$record_id;
    } 
?>

Thank you for your response,  I have edited the code and getting an error for the foreach loop; 

 

Where have I gone wrong? 

<?php
include "common/db_connect.php";
            $date = date("Y-m-d");
if($_POST['submit']){ 
    foreach($_POST['id'] as $record_id => $nothing_useful){
mysql_query("UPDATE `DPD` SET `weight` ='".$_POST['weight'][$record_id]."', `service`='".$_POST['service'][$record_id]."' WHERE `ref` ='".$record_id."'");
    } 
echo"Submitted";
}
?>
