[SOLVED] Select All Button

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

For my site inbox i have a load of checkboxes besides each message to select then press delete , but i was wanting to place a "Select All" button besides the delete button to have all the boxes checked at the 1 time but not sure how to go about it

 

heres my inbox:

 

<?php
     // get the mail ...///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     // get the users id first...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $query = "SELECT * FROM `membership` WHERE `username`='$member'";
     $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
     $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) or die (mysql_error());
     
     // the users id in  avariable...////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $id = $row['id'];
     
     // now get the pms...///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $query2 = "SELECT * FROM `pms` WHERE `reciever_id`='$id' ORDER BY `date_added` DESC";
     $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die (mysql_error());  
     
     // if there are no messages...//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     if (mysql_num_rows($result2) == 0) {
     
     // so theres no messages in the db then...//////////////////////////////////////////
		echo '<br /><b>No Messages Recieved Yet. (<a href="sentbox.php">Sent Box</a>)</b><br /><br />';
		include("includes/footer.php");
		exit;

	 } else {
	 // break out of php to make some html...////////////////////////////////////////	
?>
         <br />
     <p>My Inbox <img src="images/msg_1.gif" border="0"></p>
     <table width="80%" border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
	 <tr>
	 <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA"><P>Subject</td>
	 <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA"><P>From</td>
	 <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA"><P>Sent Date</td>
	 <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA" ><P>Options</td>
	 <td bgcolor="#E6E6FA" ><P>Delete</td>
	 </tr>
<?php
}
         // back to the php...///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     
         echo '<form action="deletepm.php" method="post">';
     
         // Now do a while loop to get all the results...////////////////////////////////
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2)) {
         
         // define the variables...//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
         $id_2 = $row['id'];
         $read_yes_no = $row['read_flag'];
         $subject = $row['subject'];
         $sentdate = $row['date_added']; 
         $sender_id = $row['sender_id'];
         
     if ($read_yes_no =='N') {

             $subject = '<strong>'.$subject.'</strong> (<font color="red"><b>NEW!</b></font>)'; 
                
         }
                  
         echo '<p><tr><td bgcolor="#FFFACD"><p><a href="readpm.php?id='.$id_2.'"><P>'.$subject.'</a></td>';
         
         // get the username of the pm sender.../////////////////////////////////////////
         $query_3 = "SELECT id,username FROM `membership` WHERE id='$sender_id' LIMIT 1";
         $result_3 = mysql_query($query_3) or die(mysql_error());                  
         $row = mysql_fetch_array($result_3);
         
         // details in a variable as usual...////////////////////////////////////////////
         $sender = $row['username']; 
         $profile_id = $row['id']; 
                   
         echo '<td bgcolor="#FFFACD"><a href="user_details.php?id='.$profile_id.'"><p>'.$sender.'</a></td><P><td bgcolor="#FFFACD"><p>'.$sentdate.'</td><td bgcolor="#FFFACD"><p>[<a href="reply_pm.php?id='.$id_2.'&sender_id='.$sender_id.'">Reply</a>]-[<a href="sentbox.php">Sentbox</a>]</td><td bgcolor="#FFFACD"><input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="'.$id_2.'" /></td></tr>';
         
         }
         
         echo "
               <tr>
               <td bgcolor=\"#004E98\" colspan=\"5\" align=\"right\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Delete\"></td>
               </tr>
               </table>
               </form>
               <br /><br />";     
?>

 

any help and tips would be appreciated.

 

thanks guys

Its javascript, this should be in the javascript section

 

checking this will check all checkboxes

<input type='checkbox' name='CheckAll' value='' onclick='checkAll(this.form)' title='Select All Messages'>

 

 

All of the checkboxes you want to use in this feature must be named list[]

<input type=checkbox size=2 name='list[]'>

<input type=checkbox size=2 name='list[]'>

<input type=checkbox size=2 name='list[]'>

 

 

Javasscript

 

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">

function checkAll(f) {

for (i = 0 ; i < f.elements.length; i++) {

if ((f.elements.type == "checkbox") && (f.elements.name == "list[]")) {

f.elements.checked = f.CheckAll.checked;

}

}

return true;

}

</script>
