When a process changed required me to change a radio button field, to a checkbox to allow multiple selections, I made the following change to my html:
<input type='checkbox' name='ptype[]' value='1'> Jail/not sentenced</br>
<input type='checkbox' name='ptype[]' value='2'> Jail/Sentenced</br>
<input type='checkbox' name='ptype[]' value='3'> State/DOC</br>
<input type='checkbox' name='ptype[]' value='4'> ICE/US Marshall</br>
<input type='checkbox' name='ptype[]' value='5'> 7x/wardens Agree</br>
When making ptype
an array to handle multiple selections, I am finding my $_POST
variable missing a key. If I try to revert ptype
to a radio button and handle only one value, I don't get any error/warning.
I've checked Firebug, and when ptype[]
is set, one of my $_POST
variables is not relayed. I know the max post variable is not an issue, as I only have 52 post variables on my form.
I don't know if it's relevant, but this field is never coming through:
<input type='radio' name='wc' value='1'> Yes
<input type='radio' name='wc' value='0'> No
Notice: Undefined index: wc in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\internal_tools\include\consults\consult_utilities.php on line 53
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: As requested, my form.
EDIT 2: Firebug POST variables
EDIT 3: Added line 53:
$data['workers_comp'] = $_POST['wc'];
