generate multiple forms

[Logikos]

Hey guys, I plan on using a quanity input field to specife the quanity of a product they wish to buy.

What i would like to do is this:

1. User clicks which product they want (lets say productid=1)
2. User enters the quanity they wish to purchased (lets say '2')
3. User selects if they would like the company to install this product.
   
   • The user choose 2 as the quanity. So they will see 2 checkbox options to choose if they want the company to install both products, one of the products or none of the products. (<input type="checkbox" name="install_productid_1_quanty_2" value="1" />Product Name #</input>)
4. User sees total invoice. Lets say the user choose to have the company install both
   
   • Product Name #1 (Price)
   • Product Name #2 (Price)
   • Install Product Name #1 (Price)
   • Install Product Name #2 (Price)
   • (Total)

The only problem i'm having is generating the mutiable forms and keeping the variables orginized to tally the total at the end. Any ideas would be great. Thanks a million!

Well, you can do something like

$quant = quantity-goes-here;
$current = 1;

while ($current <= $quant)
{
$current++;
echo "<input type="checkbox" blah blah>";
}

One more question, if a user has 5 as the quanity. How would i generate a number list. Like

#1
#2
#3, ect...

Can i use foreach ();?

With this script, since $current is the amount that you are currently on, you can just use this instead of the previous echo statement you had:

echo "#{$current} <input type="checkbox" blah blah>";

Thanks, almost what i needed. I had to do this:

        while ($current <= $quant)
        {
                $current++;
                $number = $current - 1;
                echo "#{$number} <input type=\"checkbox\"><br />";
        } 

Thanks!!

by putting current++ at the end of the loop you can take the extra line out.

        while ($current <= $quant)
        {
                echo "#{$current} <input type=\"checkbox\"><br />";
                $current++;
        } 

but both will work.

My bad, Aku is correct. You can still use my original script, just change $current = 1; to $current = 0;

you can do this, or just listen to Aku, and keep it at 1, and use the count++ at the end of the while loop.
