HOW TO ADD CHECK BOXES!

Disclaimer: There may be better ways to do this but I searched quite a bit and finally hacked this together using some basic PHP!

About this example: In this example I am going to work with results from a database query. This is a worst case example (I think) so anybody should be able to figure it out for a simpler case.

Page 1: This is the form that the Admin Adds the data to!

PHP Code:


		
			


$cell[1] = 'This is a Demo!<dfn> Imagine you had a list of options (usergroups perhaps).</dfn>';



        //Following is an example of data already saved (perhaps called back from a database)

        $selected_OPTIONS = 'Radio|Power Brakes|V8|4x4';



        //Following is a query to get a list of ALL options that are possible

        $checkboxs_get = mysql_query("

                SELECT option, optionid, display

                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "demo

                ORDER BY display



        //Need to Start to Build the Checkbox DIV

        $checkbox_options = '<div align="left">';



        //Loop through the Possibilities from the database

       while ($checkbox = mysql_fetch_array($checkboxs_get))

    {

          //  If the checkbox was selected before, we need to define $checkboxselected

          if (in_array(trim($checkbox[option]), $selected_types))

         { $checkboxselected = "checked=\"checked\""; }



          // Need to create this option for the checkbox list

          $checkbox_options .='<input type="checkbox" name="option[]" value="' . $checkbox[optionid] . '"' . $checkboxselected . '>' .  $checkbox[option] . '<br />'; 

    

          // Need to clear the $checkboxselected for the next pass!

          $checkboxselected ='';

    }



        // Need to Close the Checklist DIV

        $checkbox_options .='</div>';



$cell[2] = $checkbox_options;



print_cells_row($cell);

Page Two - This is the page that receives the data!

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach($_POST['option'] as $value) {

$selected_options .= $value;

$selected_options .= '|';

}

// From Here you would likely want to save the data in your database!



$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "demo SET options = '$selected_options' WHERE some_field = $something");
