[FX.php List] Editing Checkboxes

[Michael Layne]

Kim,

This may look overkill, but cycling through values, this is how I always 
check or uncheck checkboxes to make edits:

// I look for whether the selection is in an array I posted to the 
database when inputting for the first time and if it is, I check that box:

$ans06 = array ('MSWord' => 'MS Word','MSPPT' => 'MS 
PowerPoint','MSExcel' => 'MS Excel');

say hey initially checked "MSWord" and "MSExcel", those would be the 
ones checked when editing...

in FM = field=answer06, value = MSWord, MSExcel
    $count6 = 1;
    foreach($ans06 as $value => $label) {
        $checked = ( eregi($value,$dJP['answer06'][0])) ? 
"checked=\"checked\"" : "";
        echo "<input name=\"answer06[]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"" . 
$value . "\" $checked />" . $label . "\n";
        if ($count6 == 6) {
            echo "<br />\n";
        }
        $count6++;
    }
