[PHP-WIN] Retrieving URL of webpage etc.
Hi there I'm specifically doing something like displaying search results up to 50 records, and I would like to be able to provide something like a checkbox next to each of them to allow multiple records to then be deleted at one time, but the problem seems to be that either either checkbox needs to be assigned a different name, or else I would need to be able to parse the URL of the resulting page when the form is submitted since I don't seem to be able to access something like an array of values for a form field with the shared name of the multiple checkboxes, since while it will allow me to read from an array for the name of that form field: $_GET['chkBox'][0] It tells me the count for that array is only 1, and always returns the last checked value. Therefore, I could either try use something like javascript to populate a hidden form field with the various values when the checkboxes are checked, or else could try just doing something like parsing the querystring/URL since it does get populated with something like: chkBox=1&chkBox=2 for example... Any thoughts on this, and thoughts on what would be the best workaround?

Say the ID of the row from the DB is held in $a_Row['ID'].
Make the name of the checkbox ...
name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]"
Now, $_POST['delete'] will be an array of IDs to delete.

Re: [PHP-WIN] Retrieving URL of webpage etc.
In this part:
name="delete[{$a_Row['ID']}]"
I presume I would be including that in the echo for the checkbox elements
somehow?
Something along the lines of:
echo '';
Sorry, but haven't really done too much with PHP before apart from simple
things like guestbooks etc.
TIA
Stay well

Re: [PHP-WIN] Retrieving URL of webpage etc.
answer is near right.. but i have better solution.. echo ''; i change into ... echo ''; change id into the id you like to delete.. in delete.php u just type this foreach($delete as $val) deleteRow($val); //function to delete id in table zz for your info.. u should not delete the row.. better make them not active intead of delete.. if you sure the script aren't have problem.. u can delete it.. but remember to backup your DB or ELSE *like me.. lost half DB Jacob Kruger wrote: Hi there I'm specifically doing something like displaying search results up to 50 records, and I would like to be able to provide something like a checkbox next to each of them to allow multiple records to then be deleted at one time, but the problem seems to be that either either checkbox needs to be assigned a different name, or else I would need to be able to parse the URL of the resulting page when the form is submitted since I don't seem to be able to access something like an array of values for a form field with the shared name of the multiple checkboxes, since while it will allow me to read from an array for the name of that form field: $_GET['chkBox'][0] It tells me the count for that array is only 1, and always returns the last checked value.
