PHP Dynamic Checkboxes

Posted by Jamsi in PHP on February 7th, 2006 | 5 responses

I noticed the lack of tutorials or articles when using checkboxes in a dynamic form, so I thought I’d post some code I used recently to manage deleting rows. The thing most people forget isthat the checkbox field name has to have a [] on the end as this tells PHP to use an array and not a normal variable to hold the information.
PHP

if ($_REQUEST["btnDelete"])
{
	foreach ($_REQUEST["chkDelete"] as $value) {
	     echo $value;
        }
}

HTML




d>
";
	echo "


";
	echo "


";
	echo "

";
}
?>




Username





".$row[username]."
