Passing form values in an array format July 24, 2008

Here is the code that you shall pass the form values in an array format. The name with [] that identify is an array. At the php side, just mention $_POST['dorm'] to receive the parameter values posted from Form.

1. Html Code:

   <form name=”myform” method=”post” onsubmit=”check()”>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”text” name=”dorm[]“>
   <input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”S”>
   </form>

2. Javascript Validation:
   function check_All()
   {
   var form = document.myform.elements;
   for(var i=0;i<form.length;i++)
   {
   //  alert(form[i].name);
   }
   }
   function check_particular()
   {
   var txtbox = document.myform.elements['dorm[]‘]; // Returns the node list; node list stored as an array;
   // Find an length
   var len = txtbox.length
   // Retrive the value
   if (txtbox[0].value==”")
   alert(” Mandatory to fill up the first field”);

   }

3. //Receiving the passing values at PHP side
   <?
   $values = $_POST['dorm'];
   print_r($values);
   ?>
