Hello All,I've written a clunky script that presents a form to a user with 30 checkboxes on it to match 30 fields in a table. The user checks off each field they want to appear in a text file produced by the script. The script I wrote captures each checkbox response to a separate variable:
$fieldname1=$_POST['fieldname1']; $fieldname2=$_POST['fieldname2']; etc...I then build a custom query based on those variables using 30 logic statements like such:
if ($fieldname1) $query .="fieldname1, "; if ($fieldname2) $query .="fieldname2, "; etc...I then query the DB and iterate over the results, shoving the data into an output variable like this (again 30 logic statements):
if ($fieldname1) $output.="$row[fieldname1]\t"; if ($fieldname2) $output.="$row[fieldname2]\t"; then I print the contents of $output to a text file.It seems that there has to be a better way of doing this. Can the $_POST superglobal be manipulated in this way:
foreach ($_POST as $fieldname) ? Thanks for any help and guidance. - Ben
