I am an experienced python programmer, however I was aske to make an audit program in php or html. I have no clue what is going on here.. I need help. I created this outline for a program. The program is going to have checkboxes. Depending on what checkboxes are selected, it will output. Ex. if tanks is checked it will print "decommission tanks, and if tanks is not checked it will be blank. How do I do this?!?! also is there anything wrong with this code so far? Like I said I know nothing! and all advice would be great

Like I have the checkbox. I just don't know how to output based on if checked or not. And how to organize it

Member Avatar for nav33n

Instead of having separate names for checkbox, use checkbox array and assign different values to it. When you click on the submit button, only those checkboxes which were checked would be posted. You can then use a foreach loop to get what was checked.

print_r($_POST['checkboxname']) //will print the array of checkboxes checked.

The problem with naming them individually is, for every checkbox, you have to check if it is set and if it has a value !
ie.,

if(isset($_POST['tank'])) {
 //statements
}
if(isset($_POST['defcon'])) {
 //statements
}
