Multiple checkbox to a textbox

[oscargarin]

"Hola",

i have the following issue and i'd be very happy if someone can help.

i have a page with a list of documents obtained from a mysql query, this list provides a checkbox (value=id of document) per document and what i need is to send only the selected document id's( one checkbox correspond to 1 id) to a new form (it is a contact form) that will contain a textbox with the selected items concatenated in it.

For example,

- supose the list has 7 documents (so 7 id's)
- supose we selected 4 documents (4 checkboxes from those 7)
- after clicking on a "Submit" button the result should be going to the next page and displaying a textbox (in a contact page) with the concatenated "http://localhost/open/id_number" string.

I would really appreciatte any help on any part of this.

I currently have achieved displaying the documents in the list and add the checkbox asociated to its id_number in it.

Can somebody please help?

The following code represent the checkbox id_number for every document. It is working already.

input type='checkbox' value='$row[id]'

 while($row = @mysql_fetch_array($res)) {
  print("<tr>\n");
 print ("<td><input type='checkbox' value='$row[id]'></td>\n");
 //print("<td>$row[id]</td>\n"); //prueba exitosa de id por Oscar
  print("<td><a href=\"download.php?doc_id=$row[id]\"><img src=\"pix/". get_extension($row[name]) .".gif\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" alt=\"[". strtoupper(get_extension($row[name])) ."]\" border=\"0\"></a></td>\n");
  print("<td><a href=\"detail.php?doc_id=$row[id]\">$row[name]</a></td>\n");
  if($row[size] < 0)
   continue;
  if( $row[size] < 10240 ) {
   $size_str = sprintf("%d bytes", $row[size]);
  } else if( $row[size] < 1048576 ) {
   $size_str = sprintf("%.1f Kb", ($row[size]/1024));
  } else {
   $size_str = sprintf("%.1f Mb", ($row[size])/(1024*1024));
  }
  print("<td>$size_str</td>\n");
  print("<td>$row[revision]</td>\n");
  print("<td>$row[author]</td>\n");
  print("<td>$row[maintainer]</td>\n");
  print("<td>$row[created]</td>\n");
  printf("<td%s</td>\n", ($row[modified] == NULL) ? " align=\"center\">-" : ">$row[modified]" );
  printf("<td><img src=\"pix/%s.gif\" height=\"15\" width=\"15\" alt=\"[ Access: %s ]\"></td>\n", ($row[level] == NULL) ? "G" : $row[level], access_string( ($row[level] == NULL) ? "G" : $row[level] ) );
  print("</tr>\n");
 }
 }

what the above code does is to create an htm page with the list of documents displaying their attributes:
doc_id/extension/doc name/size/revision/author/creation date/

those are the properties of all documents listed. each document has a checkbox asociated to its document_id.

what i need is to select different checkboxes get their ids copied to a textbox, textarea or even a clipboard.
