@NogDogMar 08.2006 — #Checkboxes are only received in the Post data if they are checked. Also, if you create multiple input elements with the same name, the last one sent will overwrite all the others with the same name, unless you append a "[]" to then end of the name, in which case it will be added to an array by that name. If you add a unique value to each checkbox, then you can figure out which ones were submitted. So you might do something like:
That should give you two arrays: $_POST['deletemember'] and $_POST['password']. You could then loop through each $_POST['deletemember'] and pair it up with the matching value in $_POST['password'].
Help with POSTing array.
The code below is intended to allow a site administrator to manage users/passwords.
The output is formatted into a table where:
1st row is the [b]Update Records
2nd row is the headers for each column,
3rd row allows Administrator to add a new user/password,
4th+ row lists existing users and their passwords. (Password is put into a textbox to allow changes.) (A checkbox in the first columns is intended to allow the administrator to flag users for deletion.)
The data is sent to [b]updateuser.php
What I am getting is:
If a new UserID and Password are entered, they are received.
I am receiving the Password of the last user in the list.
If one of the checkboxes is on, I am getting ON, but don’t know which row it refers to.
What I am not getting is:
I am not getting the full array of all the checkboxes,
I am not getting the full array of passwords.
[SIZE=3][b]I assume that in my code, I am not creating an array of Checkbox and Text contols. Can someone please advise how to fix this.
Cheers,
Nap
Note that:
$namePassCombos[$i][0] contains the user’s ID
$namePassCombos[$i][1] contains the user’s password.
[code]
echo “<form method=’POST’ action=’updateusers.php’ >”;
echo “<table width=’450′ border=’1′ cellspacing=’0′ cellpadding=’6′>”;

[/code]That should give you two arrays: $_POST['deletemember'] and $_POST['password']. You could then loop through each $_POST['deletemember'] and pair it up with the matching value in $_POST['password'].
