PHP help

Expand Post »

hi guys, I've been following the tuts and help on this incredible site for a while and must say that you guys are really amazing and very helpful.
I am learning PHP since it's very useful for site development etc.
I will appreciate any help form you guys on a little project I'm trying my hands on.
I have a flat file data base that i read email addresses from into data table(TD) with check boxes attached to each data.
Is there a way that when a check box is checked it automatically adds that data separated by coma(

in to a text box one at a time? and if it's unchecked it removes it from the text box.
Thanks for any assistance.
my php code for retrieving data looks like this..

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
$userinfo = file("list.txt");
echo '<table border="1" cellspacing="2" align="center">';
foreach($userinfo as $key => $val) 
{
   $data[$key] = explode("||", $val);
}
$bg = '#33CCFF';
for($k = 0; $k < sizeof($userinfo); $k++) 
{ 
echo '"<tr bgcolor=\"#"'. $bg .'"\"><td>'.$k.'</td><td>'.$data[$k][0].'<input type="hidden" name="email" value="'.$data[$k][0].'"></td><td><input type="checkbox" name ="confirm"></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td colspan=2> </td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
$userinfo = file("list.txt");
echo '<table border="1" cellspacing="2" align="center">';
foreach($userinfo as $key => $val) 
{
   $data[$key] = explode("||", $val);
}
$bg = '#33CCFF';
for($k = 0; $k < sizeof($userinfo); $k++) 
{ 
echo '"<tr bgcolor=\"#"'. $bg .'"\"><td>'.$k.'</td><td>'.$data[$k][0].'<input type="hidden" name="email" value="'.$data[$k][0].'"></td><td><input type="checkbox" name ="confirm"></td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td colspan=2> </td></tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

Re: PHP help

THis in your loop

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name =\"confirm[$k]\" value=\"{$data[$k][0]}\" />";
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name =\"confirm[$k]\" value=\"{$data[$k][0]}\" />";

Set up js listener to check for 'confirm' check events. This will append the value of the checkbox to the textbox text. E.g. for all browsers other than IE (need attachEvent for that).

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
document.forms['myform'].elements['confirm'].addEventListener('click',do-your-function-name-here,false)
document.forms['myform'].elements['confirm'].addEventListener('click',do-your-function-name-here,false)

Re: PHP help

thanks ardav,
your code did add a check box quite ok, but what I was hoping to do is have a blank text box bellow, that will append if the any one in the table TD is checked.
Pls bear with me, I hope I'm not asking for too much, since I'm still learning. about the js can you give me a pointer? thanks again.

Re: PHP help

I understood your post, I just didn't want to do all the work for you. You can add the 'value' (e-mail address) of the checked checkbox to the textbox.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextbox'].value = document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextbox'].value + ", " + passedVariable;
document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextbox'].value = document.forms['myform'].elements['mytextbox'].value + ", " + passedVariable;

Check this, my js isn't too hot.

Re: PHP help

OK, seeing as you had a good go yourself. I'm using the jQuery library here, so if you copy this exactly, it should work in all browsers.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
	$( "input[name='check[]']" ).bind( "click", clickCheck )
	function clickCheck(){
		var str = $("#txt").val();
		var newStr = $(this).val();
		if($(this).is(':checked')){
			$("#txt").val(str + newStr + ",");
		}else{
			$("#txt").val(str.replace(newStr + ',', ''));
		}	  
	}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" id="myform">
	<input type="checkbox" value="a1@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check1" /><label for="check1">a1@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="checkbox" value="a2@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check2" /><label for="check2">a2@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="checkbox" value="a3@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check3" /><label for="check3">a3@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="checkbox" value="a4@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check4" /><label for="check4">a4@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="text" value="" name="txt" id="txt" /><br />
</form>
</body>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
	$( "input[name='check[]']" ).bind( "click", clickCheck )
	function clickCheck(){
		var str = $("#txt").val();
		var newStr = $(this).val();
		if($(this).is(':checked')){
			$("#txt").val(str + newStr + ",");
		}else{
			$("#txt").val(str.replace(newStr + ',', ''));
		}	  
	}
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" id="myform">
	<input type="checkbox" value="a1@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check1" /><label for="check1">a1@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="checkbox" value="a2@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check2" /><label for="check2">a2@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="checkbox" value="a3@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check3" /><label for="check3">a3@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="checkbox" value="a4@fictic.io.us" name="check[]" id="check4" /><label for="check4">a4@fictic.io.us</label><br />
	<input type="text" value="" name="txt" id="txt" /><br />
</form>
</body>

It's slightly different from my previous post. I found that applying an email_id to the name attribute of the checkbox was unnecessary.

Re: PHP help

ardav You are the best,
Like you said its different.. but that work like a charm. I'm very happy with it, only I have to Find a way to make it read dynamically from my txt file. instead of predefining the input Array. I hope I can use jquery with php.
Thanks so much

Re: PHP help

php to read from the file.
jquery to deal with the add/subtract.

just change to this:

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<form name="myform">
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="25%">
<tr><td align="center"><input type="text" name="txt" size="50" ></td></tr>
<?php
$userinfo = file("sometext_file");
foreach($userinfo as $key => $val){
   $data[$key] = explode("||", $val);
}
for($k = 0; $k < sizeof($userinfo); $k++){ 
?>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><input type="checkbox" id="check_<?php echo $k;?>" name ="check[]" value="<?php echo $data[$k][0];?>" /><label for="check_<?php echo $k;?>"><?php echo $data[$k][0];?></label></td></tr>
<?php
}
?> 
</table>
</form>
<form name="myform">
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" width="25%">
<tr><td align="center"><input type="text" name="txt" size="50" ></td></tr>
<?php
$userinfo = file("sometext_file");
foreach($userinfo as $key => $val){
   $data[$key] = explode("||", $val);
}
for($k = 0; $k < sizeof($userinfo); $k++){ 
?>
<tr bgcolor="#ffffff"><td><input type="checkbox" id="check_<?php echo $k;?>" name ="check[]" value="<?php echo $data[$k][0];?>" /><label for="check_<?php echo $k;?>"><?php echo $data[$k][0];?></label></td></tr>
<?php
}
?> 
</table>
</form>
