Re: [PHP] php and javascript

[John Nichel]

For what code to work, the JavaScript?  In php, the only way you'll be 
able to get all the checkboxes that have been checked is to put the 
square brackets behind the name.  For it to work in JavaScript, you have 
to reference the element such as....

document.forms[0].elements['list[]'][i].checked

or something along those lines....my JS is a bit rusty.

Thanks for your reply, but for the code to work the checkbox has to be
called 'list'

Put square brackets after the name of your checkboxes.....

<input type=checkbox name=list[] value="1">Home<br>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value="2">Office<br>
etc....
Then you will be able to access all the boxes checked on your post page 
in an array....

$_POST['list']

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is a PHP or a JavaScript question but I have
found the

following code to enable me to select all of the checkboxes on my
form.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
var checkflag = "false";
function check(field) {
if (checkflag == "false") {
 for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
 field[i].checked = true;}
 checkflag = "true";
 return "Uncheck all"; }
else {
 for (i = 0; i < field.length; i++) {
 field[i].checked = false; }
 checkflag = "false";
 return "Check all"; }
}
//  End -->
</script>
<form name=mon_formulaire action="" method=post>
<table>
<b>Where do you connect to the Internet from?</b><br>
<input type=checkbox name=list value="1">Home<br>
<input type=checkbox name=list value="2">Office<br>
<input type=checkbox name=list value="3">Friends' home<br>
<input type=checkbox name=list value="4">Post office<br>
<input type=checkbox name=list value="5">Internet Café<br>
<br>
<input type=button value="Check all"
onClick="this.value=check(this.form.list)">
</form>
The problem is that in the example all of the boxes are called list
and i

need to name each checkbox on my form with a different user_id so that
i can

collect the data sent from the form, is there a way around this?

Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
