display certain contents of an array, selected by checkbox

[kusarigama]

Hi all,

I have a textfile with email addreses. With the following script, I try to display only the selected emails (Checkbox)
It won't work. Can anybody help me ?

Thanx in advance

Olli


$fp = fopen($reader,"r"
while(!feof($fp))
{
$emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
if($emails == "&quot
{
continue;
}

for($i=0; $i<count($emails);$i++)
{
?>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=emails[] value=<?echo $i;?>><?echo $emails;?><br>
<?
if(isset($email_sel)) // submit button
{
print &quot;<br>&quot;.$i;
}
}



}
fclose($fp);

Any other suggestions ?

Unless you tell us what doesn't work means in your case, we won't be able to help you. //Daniel

 

[kusarigama]

Ok - sorry

My script (see above)

I have a Textfile with email addresses.
For every content of the textfile(emails), a checkbox will be created. When I execute the script and I make a selection - I want the script to output the selected contents ... This doesn't work.
An example would be fine. I know that's just a little bug, but this bug makes me bite in my desk

Thanx in advance
Olli

I'm not sure I understand what you want, but if I understand it correctly, you want to submit some checkboxes to a script that outputs the selections. Is this what you want?
If so, you could use this script to output the selections:

<?php
$fp = fopen($reader,&quot;r&quot;);           
for($i = 0; !feof($fp); $i++)
{
    $emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
    if(empty($emails))
        continue;
    if (in_array($_POST['emails'], $i))
        echo $emails;
}
fclose($fp);
?>

//Daniel

First: THANX a lot =)

I want to have the selected emails to be send via mail. The form is using &quot;$php_self&quot;.

one question: That what I wrote in the checkboxe's expression is ok, right ? And I can put it in your for() loop.

 

[danielhozac]

Here is a whole script that submits to itself.

<?php
$fp = fopen($reader,&quot;r&quot;);
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    for($i = 0; !feof($fp); $i++)
    {
        $emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
        if(empty($emails))
            continue;
        if (in_array($_POST['emails'], $i))
            echo $emails;
    }
}
else
{
?>
<form action=&quot;<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot;>
<?php
    $i = 0;
    while (!feof($fp))
    {
        $email = chop(fgets($fp,260));
        if(empty($email))
            continue;
        echo '<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;emails[]&quot; value=&quot;' . $i . '&quot;>' . $emails . '<br>';
        $i++;
    }
?>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot; />
</form>
<?php
}
fclose($fp);
?>

I think this should do what you want. //Daniel

Thnax again

Works good - now i need to display the selected emails.

This won't work with print $emails[$i].

Just the last thing, and I'm satisfied ..

Olli

 

[kusarigama]

I know how to output - but i get a strange error:

Warning: Wrong datatype for second argument in call to in_array in c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\MEDIA-LOOK\_admin\rundmailer.php4

on line 191

 

[danielhozac]

Whoops, change

        if (in_array($_POST['emails'], $i))

to

        if (in_array($i, $_POST['emails']))

This already outputs the selected emails when you submit. It doesn't store the emails in an array, it reads from the file, and if the line number was one of the ones submitted, it displays it. //Daniel

 

[kusarigama]

hehe - I understand your script

You use $_POST. Is it possible via a function() too (without using $_POST ?
I tried to store the $emails[$i] in a function. But guess: There is also an error somewhere ... sorry

The script is :

fp = fopen($reader,&quot;r&quot;

function rt($damails)
{
global $fp;

for($i = 0; feof($fp); $i++)
{
$emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
if(empty($emails))
{
continue;
}

if (in_array($i, $damails))
{
echo $emails;
}
}
}

$i=0;
while(!feof($fp))
{
$emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
if(empty($emails))
{
continue;
}
print'<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;emails[]&quot; value=&quot;'.$i.'&quot;>'.$emails.'<br>';

$i++;

}
if(isset($_POST['email_sel']))
{
rt($emails);
}
//fclose($fp);

 

[danielhozac]

I don't think you understand what you are doing.
Your $emails variable only stores a string containing the last line read from the file. Also, your for loop is wrong as it tests for feof($fp), which should read !feof($fp).
$_POST is the auto-global array containing the variables sent to the script using the POST method. If you have register_globals off, you have to use it to access the POST variables. $_GET is used for GET variables. //Daniel

 

[kusarigama]

Ohh that was my mistake. I deleted that &quot;!&quot; by mistake.

 

[kusarigama]

There is still an error message regarding the is_array() command. Wehen it tries to compare the emails, it fails

But everything looks good so far. Register:globals is on

[kusarigama]

Uhh -forgo teh code, here it is ...

$fp = fopen($reader,&quot;r&quot;

if(isset($_POST['email_sel']))
{
for($i=0; !feof($fp); $i++)
{

$emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
if(empty($emails))
{
continue;
}
if (in_array($i,$_POST['emails']))
{
echo $emails;
}
}
}


$i=0;
while(!feof($fp))
{
$emails = chop(fgets($fp,260));
if(empty($emails))
{
continue;
}
print'<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;semails[]&quot; value=&quot;'.$i.'&quot;>'.$emails.'<br>';
$i++;
}
fclose($fp);

 

[kusarigama]

By the way i corrected the error with semail[]. I'v put $emails in and it's still not working ...

print'<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;semails[]&quot; value=&quot;'.$i.'&quot;>'.$emails.'<br>';

 

[danielhozac]

I don't see what you are trying to accomplish. What is it that you actually want to do? //Daniel

 

[kusarigama]

The problem is that:

Warning: Wrong datatype for second argument in call to in_array in c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\MEDIA-LOOK\_admin\rundmailer.php4

on line 191

 

[danielhozac]

What version of PHP are you using? What webserver? What OS? //Daniel
