I have a page that lists entries made by users in the database. There are
three types of entries. Each type of entry is stored in their own table.
My problem is this: I want people to be able to click a checkbox next to
any of the entries and press a delete button and delete those entries. The
only hang up is that the delete button works as a submit button and sends
the checkbox arrays as post variables to the next page and I'm trying to
figure out a way to send another post variable when you click delete.
something like my_listings?delete=true.
not sure how, or if you can even do this with a submit button. I also have
three other buttons on this page that do different things when pressed to
the boxes checked. I tried using
onclick="<?$_SESSION["delete"]="true";?>" in the delete(submit) button but
for some reason, this session variable is also set when I click the other
buttons as well, I guess because they are submit buttons too? If you can
make sense of any of this, maybe you can help.
Thanx in advance,
Kit
//this is what I do if the variable is set
// **Marking Listings as Deleted
if($_SESSION["delete"]=="true")
{
if(isset($_REQUEST["horse"]))
{
foreach($_REQUEST["horse"] as $value)
{
odbc_exec($connection, "UPDATE tblHorse SET dDeleted = 1 where
dHorseID =
'".$value."'");
}
}
if(isset($_REQUEST["trailer"]))
{
foreach($_REQUEST["trailer"] as $value)
{
odbc_exec($connection, "UPDATE tblTrailer SET dDeleted = 1
where
dTrailerID = '".$value."'");
}
}
if(isset($_REQUEST["tack"]))
{
foreach($_REQUEST["tack"] as $value)
{
odbc_exec($connection, "UPDATE tblTack SET dDeleted = 1 where
dTackID =
'".$value."'");
}
}
}
unset($_SESSION["method"]);
//This is how i'm trying to set the variable
