Multiple Checkbox Form Help Needed

I need to allow users to use a checkbox to  make a change to multiple items in a mysql database - I'm a beginner at this and haven't found a good way to do this online.  I'm on a tight deadline and need to get this done.
<?PHP
require_once('../Connections/localhost.php');
mysql_select_db($database_localhost, $localhost);
//List Variables from Login Confirm Submission
$amerinetid = $_POST["amerinetid"];
$facilityname = $_POST["facilityname"];
$facilityaddress = $_POST["facilityaddress"];
$facilitycity = $_POST["facilitycity"];
$facilitystate = $_POST["facilitystate"];
$facilityzip = $_POST["facilityzip"];
$facilityphone = $_POST["facilityphone"];
/*Find any existing Media requests for this ID*/
$existingmediarequestquery = "SELECT inservicemedia.title, mediatransactions.mediatransaction_id, mediatransactions.firstdayneeded, mediatransactions.lastdayneeded FROM mediatransactions left join inservicemedia on inservicemedia.inservicemedia_id = mediatransactions.inservicemedia_id where mediatransactions.amerinetid = '$amerinetid'";
$existingmediarequestresult = mysql_query($existingmediarequestquery) or die(mysql_error());
$existingmediarequesttotal = mysql_num_rows($existingmediarequestresult);
?>

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.html.php#faq.html.select-multiple

you need to name the checkbox as name='mediacheckbox[]'

then $_POST['mediacheckbox'] is an array with selected checkboxes.

Ok I've got that part done . . . But I'm just not wrapping my head around the code needed on the submit page . . .

I think this is because I'm not "catching" the post for mediacheckbox . . . but I'm unsure how to do that with an array like this . . .
hernst42
You may not comment out:
//$mediacheckbox = $_POST["mediacheckbox"];

To loop over the checked checkboxes (only those are in $_POST) use

foreach ($mediacheckbox as $cncl_id) {
  $sql = ....

If this error help I'm now getting this when submitting another form option:
Notice: Undefined index: mediacheckbox in /Library/WebServer/Documents/includes/reservechange.php on line 24
icarey
I have a form that allows users to select different options using many check boxes. I then pass these options to another php file that does all the handling and database inserts etc.
You may be able to adapt this code to your needs.

On the user input form:
echo "<tr>
              <td bgcolor=\"#336699\">
                <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"medalnames[]\" value=\"$medid\" checked>
              </td>
              <td bgcolor=\"#b0c4de\">$medname</td>
        </tr>";

In the database handling php file to handle the name=\"medalnames[]\" above
            while (list ($medalekey, $medalival) = each ($medalnames))
                  {
                        $sqlmedali="INSERT INTO brstoremedali values ('$medalival', '$proveditid')";
                        $medaliresult=mysql_query($sqlmedali,$db)
                              or die(dberr());       
                  }//while (list ($medalekey, $medalival) = each ($medalnames))

I have not been able to figure out how to make your code work icarey - I think perhaps this is just a bit above my level in php - can anyone try modifying my code?  I'm struggling to figure out how to understand the flow of this and how to modify my code to work with it.

In the top code snippet for your sending page I added [] after mediacheckbox
I think you did this any way.
I include this code below

$facilityname = $_POST["facilityname"];

$facilitycity = $_POST["facilitycity"];
$facilitystate = $_POST["facilitystate"];
$facilityzip = $_POST["facilityzip"];
$facilityphone = $_POST["facilityphone"];

I think I found part of my problem - It doesn't appear to be finding the $mediakey variable properly - if I do a echo It shows that as 0

Thanks - that improved my output as It now shows the right data variables in my echo but nothing in the database is updated . . .

try this
comment out
$mediacheckbox = $_POST["mediacheckbox"];
below the line $dp=new datepicker();

the problem may be a duplicate $result variable.
change $result = mysql_query($mediasql); to $mediaresult = mysql_query($mediasql); ensuring a new result set.

Did you include all your mediatransaction table fields in the UPDATE statement?

no I didn't . . . . I'll give that a try - I'm only looking to update those feilds and not the others . . . .
jroe6352
ASKER
I'm not seeing how to add other feilds that I don't want to modify . . . I did notice a typo - mediatransaction should be meditransactions - I updated that and still no change.
icarey
can you do an echo of the statement of $mediasql to see its output.
This may give a clue as to why the statement is not working. I am assuming that there is a  mediatransactionid the same as the $mediaval.

Sure

'2008-07-29', '0', '1'

'UPDATE mediatransactions SET requestcancelled='1', requestcancellationdate='2008-07-29' WHERE mediatransactionid='1''

You clicked Cancel - THis area still being worked on

icarey
can you place mysql_error() in
$mediaresult = mysql_query($mediasql) or die (mysql_error());
