write to a page dependant on tick box value

[Colinuk]

Hi all,

what im trying to do is write something to a page dependant on what box's are ticked

i know how to write to a page using fopen & fwrite

but i dont know how to make it dependant on the tick boxes :\

any help/examples would be appreciated :)

thanks

Sure, I'll give an example. Basically, you need to do a switch() or a series of if() statements to determine which box was ticked.

<input type="checkbox" name="option" value="opt1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="option" value="opt2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="option" value="opt3" />

switch($_POST["option"]){
case "opt1": $write_to_file = "";
case "opt1": $write_to_file = "";
case "opt1": $write_to_file = "";
default: $write_to_file = "nothing was checked";
}

Thanks Birdman!

i thought about using a series of if/else statments without the switch too, but didnt know how to get the value from the tick boxs.

thanks again :)
