[FX.php List] Edit multiple records/portal / how to pass the data?

[Leo R. Lundgren]

You need to make the fields arrays by naming them -recid[x] and size[x]. Normally you use a loop to produce the x being 1,2,3 etc. Then in the server side you will see an array in the $_POST data, and can loop that to process the input.

>     <input name="size" value="yy">
> </tr></td>
> <tr><td>
>     <input name="-recid" value="5">
>     <input name="size" value="zz">
> </tr></td>
> <input type="submit" value="Save Changes" name="submit">
> </form>
