I am trying to figure out a way to pass an array to php to get processed.
Lets say I have a checkbox, the value is add[]
I want to pass 2 other form elements with this, lets just say a text aera. We will give the text aeras a value of text1[] and text2[]
I added the array [] to the end cause I expect to have multiple. The function of the checkbox is just a true or false, if checked, do someting.
So here is what we got so far
checkbox:add[]
text: text1[]
text: text2[]
I want to have multiple instances of this in my html form.
[b]checkbox:add[]
text: text1[]
text: text2[]
checkbox:add[]
text: text1[]
text: text2[]
checkbox:add[]
text: text1[]
text: text2[][/b]
After submiting, I want to look through the results, and display them
if checkbox is true
print value of text1[]
print value of text2[]
I can easily loop 1 html element, for example :
$checkbox = $_POST[add];
if($checkbox){
foreach($checkbox as $check){
print $check;
}
}
If I had three instances of the checkbox, and all three were checked it would print the value of the checkbox (1) 3 times.
How would I do this tieing multiple values to the checkbox. I tried nesting for each loops, but that jsut gave me all the results multiple times. Is there a way to pass a multidimentional array from an html form?
Maybe somehow I could name the form elements the same name, and then call the key?
[b]element[add]
element[text1]
element[text2]
element[0][0]
element[0][1]
element[0][2]
element[1][0]
element[1][1]
element[1][2][/b]
And if so, how in the world would I loop that?
Hummm…
