Globalize vs. Checkbox arrays

I'm working on a script where the user can select from multiple checkboxes (and by multiple - I mean multiple: eventually well over 100 items, though I may find a way to limit to pages of 20. I digress).

On the net I've noticed that you can get checkboxes to array together by doing name="product[]" Well, that's fine for unsecured PHP with register globals turned on, but it doesn't seem to want to work in PHP, ESPECIALLY once you shoot it through the globalize function.

What I need is fairly simple. Each checkbox has an associated numerical value. I need to get those values into a string seperated by commas for insertion into the database so that I can later use the explode function to seperate and call them back.

The question is, how?

Hmm, i did something along these lines recently.

Did you try :

PHP Code:


		
			
    globalize($_POST, array(

    'product'

    ));

In the top of the page where you are placing the checkboxes, initialize the array:

PHP Code:


		
			
$product = array()

Then in the script where you want to use it, first use globalize like cinq say, then put in database with

PHP Code:


		
			
serialize($product)

Ok, I've got this goint to the browser

HTML Code:

<tr><td><label for="cb_srd_1"><input type="checkbox" name="productlist[1]" value="1" id="cb_srd_1" tabindex="1" />Zizzy</label></td></tr>

<tr><td><label for="cb_srd_2"><input type="checkbox" name="productlist[2]" value="1" id="cb_srd_2" tabindex="1" />Lizzy</label></td></tr>

<tr><td><label for="cb_srd_3"><input type="checkbox" name="productlist[3]" value="1" id="cb_srd_3" tabindex="1" />Dizzy</label></td></tr>

<tr><td><label for="cb_srd_4"><input type="checkbox" name="productlist[4]" value="1" id="cb_srd_4" tabindex="1" />Fizzy</label></td></tr>

And I have this code on the receiving end..

PHP Code:


		
			
$productlist = array();



    // Clean and globalize the checkbox inputs

    globalize ($_POST, array('productlist' => INT));

BUT IT ISN'T WORKING!! AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!

Ok, I got it.

Do NOT initialize the variable before passing it to globalize or globalize will fail.

that will mean, that the $productlist will get intvaled during the globalisation

you have to use

PHP Code:


		
			
globalize ($_POST, array('productlist'));

if it should stay an array :)
