[SOLVED] Get certain data from $_POST from a dinamic form - El Forum - 10-17-2012
[eluser]Juan Velandia[/eluser]
Hello everyone, I would like to ask for your help. I have created a form created from records in a data base table named ITEMS
The view:
Code:
echo form_open('item/print');
foreach ($items as $item)
{
echo form_checkbox($item->id_item, $item->name_item);
}
echo form_submit('submit', 'Submit selected items');
echo form_close();I check some of the check boxes that I want and send the form to the controller:
The controller
Code:
$post = array();
foreach ( $_POST as $key => $value )
{
$post[$key] = $this->input->post($key);
}
print_r($post);The problem is that I need to put into the $post array ONLY the values $item->id_item of the selected items in the form, but I also get the SUBMIT value within the array
What can I do, I dont want to use a if(!$key==submit) within the loop. Any ideas or previous thread will be highly appreciated!

Have you tried
Code:
echo form_submit('', 'Submit selected items');[SOLVED] Get certain data from $_POST from a dinamic form - El Forum - 10-17-2012

Hello noslen1, That could do the trick, but it won`t work if I have have more fields on the form that I would like to use. I think it has to do with the name an id of each checkbox, but Im still dealing with it. Thanks a lot.

I think I did it:
view:
Code:
echo form_open('item/print');
foreach ($items as $item)
{
echo form_checkbox(item_name[], $item->id_item );
}
echo form_submit('submit', 'Submit selected items');
echo form_close();controller:
Code:
$post = array();
$items = $_POST['item_name'];
foreach($items as $p)
{
$post[$p] =$p;
}
print_r($post);
echo '<pre>';[SOLVED] Get certain data from $_POST from a dinamic form - El Forum - 10-17-2012

so make your checkbox names an array,
Code:
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_array[<?php echo $item->id_item; ?>]" value="<?php echo $item->name_item; ?>" />and then just use
Code:
$checkboxes = $this->input->post('checkbox_array');
foreach($checkboxes as $id => $value)
{
$post[$id] = $value;
}PS - You shouldn't directly use the $_POST array... use input::post().
