Inserting a check in checkbox from array value

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello all,
I have a bit of code that works for a select option box, but does not work for my checkboxes. I need multiple selections on this code and I really don't like the look of multiple select option box. The code does insert the word checked on the first value in the array, but only that one box even if there are multiple values brought from the database. This works good:<select name="time">" .
$times = array("12AM" => "0:00", "1AM" => "1:00", "2AM" => "2:00", "3AM" => "3:00", "4AM" => "4:00", "5AM" => "5:00", "6AM" => "6:00",
"7AM" => "7:00", "8AM" => "8:00", "9AM" => "9:00", "10AM" => "10:00", "11AM" => "11:00", "12PM" => "12:00", "1PM" => "13:00",
"2PM" => "14:00", "3PM" => "15:00", "4PM" => "16:00", "5PM" => "17:00", "6PM" => "18:00", "7PM" => "19:00", "8PM" => "20:00",
"9PM" => "21:00", "10PM" => "22:00", "11PM" => "23:00");
foreach ($times as $k => $v)
{
if ($v == $time){
$select = " selected";
}
else
{
$select = " ";
}

echo "<option value="" .$v . """ . $select . ">" . $k . "</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
Why doesn't this:$formats = array("Discussion" => "Discussion,", "Basic Text Study" => "Basic Text Study,", "It Works Study" => "It Works Study,",
"IP Study" => "IP Study,", "Topic" => "Topic,", "Step Study" => "Step Study,", "Tradition Study" => "Tradition Study,",
"Candlelight" => "Candlelight,", "Speaker" => "Speaker,", "Birthday" => "Birthday,", "Men" => "Men,",
"Women" => "Women,", "Varies" => "Varies,", "Other" => "Other,");
echo "<table>";
//set 3 to 4 of you want 4 columns. Set it to 5 if you want 5, etc
$numcols = 3; // how many columns to display
$numcolsprinted = 0; // no of columns so far
//Query for display.php
foreach($formats as $k => $v)
{
if ($numcolsprinted == $numcols)
{
echo "</tr>n<tr>n";
$numcolsprinted = 0;
}
if ($v == $format){
$select = " checked";
}
else
{
$select = " ";
}
// output row from foreach
echo "<td><input type="checkbox" name="format[]" value="" . $v . """ . $select . ">" . $k . "</td>n";
// bump up row counter
$numcolsprinted++;
} // end while loop
$colstobalance = $numcols - $numcolsprinted;
for ($i=1; $i<=$colstobalance; $i++) {
echo "<td></td>n";
}
Thanks for any help.
