checkbox arrays - El Forum - 05-21-2010

[eluser]elmne[/eluser]
I'm trying to retrieve checkbox values from an array so that the checked id numbers in the array can be processed.

I do it like this

In the view, i declare the checkbox like this

Code:
<tr>

        <td>&lt;input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[&lt;?php echo $row-&gt;customer_type_id ?&gt;]" value="&lt;?php echo $row->customer_type_id ?&gt;" /></td>    

</tr>

Then when the form is submitted, i try to process it like this

Code:
$checked = $this->input->post('checkbox[]'); 

        $checked = $this->input->post('checkbox[]'); 

        $count = count($checked); 

        for($i=1; $i < $count; $i++)

Followed by the sql command that uses

Code:
'".$checked[$i]."'

as a parameter.

But it gives me an error. The sql command fails to work even though no error is shown.

What's wrong with the above code?

you can try this code:

Code:
$checked = $this->input->post('checkbox');

foreach($checked as $key => $value)

{

// your sql command would then use:

// '".$key."'

//

// where $key is index to your checkbox item

// $value would indicate whether it was checked or not

$sql = "SELECT * from some_table WHERE id = '$key'";

}
