How Can I Pass or assign values from table to an array in PHP?

[zamzam]

Hello People,
How can I put the inform loaded on a table on web form onto an array in PHP? I have an sql that is pulling information from database table on
(html or PHP) page. When it is displayed in table (table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>). Now I want the records displayed on table page to be assigned or passed to an Array. How can I do It? The Table has a three columns as follows. Now I want these value sto be passed onto array in PHP

No NameDesc CheckBox
1 NorthSchool CheckBox
2 Southchool CheckBox
3 EastSchool CheckBox

Most PHP database extensions contain functions for retrieving each row as an array. For example, mysql_fetch_assoc.

I don't think that you are not familiar with the function mysql_fetch_assoc() or mysql_fetch_array(). You can manipulate any type of records retrieved from the table in any way whether you want to store them in an array or display/print in the HTML table structure.

Please I do not want to use mysql_fetch_assoc() or mysql_fetch_array() function. I want to use the TABLES AS ON HTML PAGE NOT DATABASE TABLE

For example
<form id="form1" method="post" action="">
<table width="345" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td> NorthSchool</td>
<td><label>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox" />
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>2</td>
<td>Southchool</td>
<td><label>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox2" value="checkbox" />
</label></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td> EastSchool</td>
<td><label>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox3" value="checkbox" />
</label></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

$_POST will have the submitted values. The html table is just a markup, php only receives the values submitted via form.

[zamzam]

I want those values on the table to be passed on to an array or moved from one page to another as an array. The question is how do I get these values and passed them as an Array?

[praetor]

I've told you how. Use $_POST to access the values.

[zamzam]

Hello Praetor,
Kindly give me an example

[praetor]

$check1= $_POST["checkbox1"]; // checkbox1 is the name of the checkbox

[zamzam]

Sorry we are talking different different things. I am mean an array For example
<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'mychk[]'>
<input type = 'checkbox' name = 'mychk[]'>

$_POST['mychk'] will be an array. You would use it like any other array.

print_r($_POST['mychk']); 

You might want to supply a value attribute in the html though, so you know which checkbox was checked.

Be aware, web browsers will not send a checkbox that is not "checked".

Hello crmalibu,
what do you mean by saying web browsers will not send a checkbox that is not "checked".

Hello crmalibu,
what do you mean by saying web browsers will not send a checkbox that is not "checked".

Here, check (pun intended) it out.

<?php
if(true === array_key_exists('submit', $_POST))
{
    echo '<pre>', print_r($_POST, true);
    exit;
}
?>

        <input type="checkbox" name="favBeatles[]" value="John" />

        <input type="checkbox" name="favBeatles[]" value="George" />

    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="vote" />
</form>

Thanks SilverBulletUK,
but want I want is when the information reaches action php page those roles with check boxes are displayed. Have tried something below but it is not working. where I am going wrong?

$state=$_POST['state'];
foreach ($state as $statename)
{
$Checkstatus="$statename[checkbox]";
If($Checkstatus=="C")
{
echo "$statename[Id]";

}
}
