Hi
Developemnt on win2003 server. Final server will be linux
Apache,Mysql and PHP is being used.
I use 2 scripts(form and process).
The form displays multiple dynamic rows with chechboxs, input box for units of service, description of the service and each row has its own dropdown list of unit fees that apply.
Each dynamically created row will return 3 values fee1_choice, fee1_unit and fee1_money.
Note The above informaton is coming from a mysql database.
When the service is submitted the selected information is displayed to the secreen by the process.
Note: When I get it displaying to the screen, I will work on inserting the information into a mysql database.
Problem.
I have identified my problem as being the arrays and I am stuck.
For testing I tried 3 different types of loops to identify the problem with the values in arrays
(the results are below).
If I select the first row in the dynamically created rows the correct fee1_choice, fee1_unit and fee1_money values are passed to be displayed.
If I select the second or any other row in the dynamically created rows the correct code_id only is passed. No fee1_unit and fee1_money are displayed
Questions:
1) What is the best way to for me to use arrays to collect dynamically created information with the multiple checkbox selections?
2) should I use a two-dimentional array instead of seperate arrays for the 3 fields?
3) When the user selects any number of checkboxes Should not only the selected item(s) be in the array?
4) Should not the array be starting at index 0 for the while and for loop? Note: see results below.
5) If 3 selection boxes are chosen should not the array only loop 3 times?
Thanks in advance
