[FX.php List] Accepting user input on multiple records simultaneously

[Steve Bennett]

I have been using a process to select multiple courses and return  
their Course ID using a form and session. I only recall seeing the  
Course ID in the session and not the input button text.

On the Form page I show the Course ID and a checkbox that they can  
select to include the course in their application.

<td><?php echo $search_results_row['zzKP_CourseID_ta'][0]; ?></td>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="selectedCourses[]" value="<?php echo  
$search_results_row['zzKP_CourseID_ta'][0]; ?>">Include</td>


On the receiving page I create a session and implode the posted  
Course ID. The session is then used to flag include course interests  
when they submit their application.

<?php require_once('../Connections/online_courses.php');
session_start();
$_SESSION['SelectedCourses']=@implode ("\r\n",$_POST 
['selectedCourses']);
?>
