I am attempting to develop a PHP script to record presence at an event for those persons in a mysql table Persons. I am attempting to use checkboxes to indicate who was present. Here is the script as currently written: <?php # Script require ('includes/mysqli_connect.php'); if(isset($_POST['checkbox'])) {$checkbox = $_POST['checkbox']; if(isset($_POST['activate'])?$activate = $_POST["activate"]:$deactivate = $_POST["deactivate"]); $id = "('" . implode( "','", $checkbox ) . "');" ; echo $id; $q="UPDATE Persons SET present = '".(isset($activate)?'Y':'N')."' WHERE id IN $id" ; $r = mysqli_query($dbc,$q) or die(mysqli_error()); } $q = "SELECT * FROM Persons"; $r = @mysqli_query ($dbc,$q); $count=mysqli_num_rows($r); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns=?http="//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset="utf-8"" /> <title>Update multiple rows in mysql with checkbox</title> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function un_check(){ for (var i = 0; i < document.frmactive.elements.length; i++) { var e = document.frmactive.elements; if ((e.name != 'allbox') && (e.type == 'checkbox')) { e.checked = document.frmactive.allbox.checked; }}} //--> </script> </head> <body> <table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><form name="frmactive" method="post" action="checkboxes.php"> <table width="400" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"> <tr> <td colspan="5"><input name="activate" type="submit" id="activate" value="Activate" /> <input name="deactivate" type="submit" id="deactivate" value="Deactivate" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td colspan="4"><strong>Update multiple rows in mysql with checkbox</strong> </td> </tr><tr> <td align="center"><input type="checkbox" name="allbox" title="Select or Deselect ALL" style="background-color:#ccc;"/></td> <td align="center"><strong>id</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>first_name</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>last_name</strong></td> <td align="center"><strong>present</strong></td> </tr> <?php while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r)) { ?> <tr> <td align="center"><input name="checkbox[]" type="checkbox" id="checkbox" id="checkbox[]" value="<? echo $rows['person_id']; ?>"></td> <td><? echo $row['person_id']; ?></td> <td><? echo $row['first_name']; ?></td> <td><? echo $row['last_name']; ?></td> <td><? echo $row['present']; ?></td> </tr> <?php } ?> <tr> <td colspan="5" align="center"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> The table Persons contains these columns: person_id, first_name,last_name,present. I inserted the echo line after the line defining $id which is copied below: $id = "('" . implode( "','", $checkbox ) . "');" ; echo $id; But $id only contains empty strings. Can anyone help me understand what I am doing wrong? Is $checkbox always ending up empty? Any direction will be appreciated. Wes Smith
