Hello again.
I have a query that pulls rows from a mysql db. The data is displayed in a simple HTML table. The first column of the HTML table has a checkbox for each row. It looks a little like this:
PHP Code:
+-----------+----------+----------+
| SELECT | NAME | ID |
+-----------+----------+----------+
| [ckbx] | John | 2233 |
+-----------+----------+----------+
| [ckbx] | Susie | 5577 |
+-----------+----------+----------+
[ SUBMIT ]
The user is allowed to select rows, each of which has a unique ID. I have spent untold hours trying to understand how to know which rows (i.e., the unique ids) were selected by checkboxes. How would I go about this?
The HTML table is on a form with a POST method. So, for example, if a user checks the checkbox on John's row, how can I retrieve John's ID into a $_POST array?
None of my books go into this specifically. They only give checkbox examples such as What is your fav. ice cream? Vanilla, Chocolate, blah, blah.
Thanks!
Dave
Note: the above table is, of course, simplified. The HTML table actually contains about a dozen fields and up to a couple of hundred records resulting fromt the db query.
