option value

hello,

if am using an arrays in my code, i modify my form fields(text box, check box) like this,

$cnt = count($HTTP_POST_VARS['id']);

for($cntr=0;$cntr<$cnt;$cntr++) {

<input type="text" name="ac[<?=$counter?>]" value="<?=$ac?>">

if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS['attach'][$cntr]) $attach=0; else $attach=1;

<input type="checkbox" name="is_enrolled[<?=$counter?>]" value="1"<? if ($isenrolled==1)echo "checked";?>>


BUT, how is with option box.

If it is like this for example,

<SELECT
size=1 name=brand>
<OPTION value ="0"<?php
if($brand==0){
echo 'selected';
}?>>NIKE</OPTION>
<OPTION value ="1"<?php
if($brand==1){
echo 'selected';
}?>>ADDIDAS</OPTION></SELECT>

Now, my question is , how can i modify the above option code with respect to an array.

could some body pls make the changes and present it to me.

many thanks

i don't even really get how your first array is working.. either way you could use the same code to determin your values but an option box can only have one item at a time selected.

OK, let me try to explain in detail:

<?
Database connection
if ($HTTP_POST_VARS){
$cnt = count($HTTP_POST_VARS['id']);
for($cntr=0;$cntr<$cnt;$cntr++) {
if (!$HTTP_POST_VARS['attach'][$cntr]) $attach=0; else $attach=1;

UPDATE Statement;
}
}

SELECT STATEMENT
?>

Field headings
<?php

$counter=0;
$old_values=null;
while statement to get the fields
?>
//here comes my form fields

<td width="154" height="23">
<input type="text" name="tei[<?=$counter?>]" value="<?=$tei?>">
</td>
<td width="69" height="23">
<input type="checkbox" name="attach[<?=$counter?>]" value="1"<? if ($attach==1)echo "checked";?>>

<?php

$old_values.=' <input type="hidden" name="id['.$counter.']" value="'.$row->HS_ID.'">
';

$counter++;

}
?>
</table>
<?=$old_values?>

hmm..thatz it.this works fine so far with all my text boxes and check boxes.

My problem is only with OPTION VALUE.

If i have a code like this for my selectable field,

<SELECT
size=1 name=type>
<OPTION value ="0"<?php
if($type==0){
echo 'selected';
}?>>Addidas</OPTION>
<OPTION value ="1"<?php
if($type==1){
echo 'selected';
}?>>GAP</OPTION></SELECT>

How should i make the changes with respect to my array?

Hope somebody would be there to help me.

thanks once again.
