I haven't seen in your code where the $state variable comes from.

In your code, state is the POST value, how can you use that directly as $state.
Umm.. tell me first what you are trying to do.

Code: Select all
You have to use count($_POST['state']) instead of count($state);
Better to look at the post value. I mean to say
Then you will be more clear.

Code: Select all
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$temp=" ";
$count=count($_POST['city']);
for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++)
{
$temp="$temp$city[$i],";
}
echo "value of temp:$temp";
}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="city[]" value="NE"
<?php if ((isset($_POST['city[0]'])) && ($_POST['city[0]']=="NE")) echo "checked='checked'" ?>/>First
<input type="checkbox" name="city[]" value="IA"
<?php if ((isset($_POST['city[1]'])) && ($_POST['city[1]']=="IA")) echo "checked='checked'"?>/>Second
<input type="checkbox" name="city[]" value="MO"
<?php if ((isset($_POST['city[2]'])) && ($_POST['city[2]']=="MO")) echo "checked='checked'"?>/>Third
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>
please check this code..."Im getting the error undefined variable:city"
Also i need to ensure that the checkbox is enabled when i select a checkbox and click on "submit" . Also i need to store the values of city in temp array.

You have an array like this:
Code: Select all
$_POST['city'][0],$_POST['city'][1] and so on.
You cannot use directly as
Replace
. It will work.

<input type="checkbox" name="city[]" value="MO" <?php if ((isset($_POST['city'][2])) && ($_POST['city'][2]=="MO")) echo " checked"?> />Third

In your code,
is not always "NE".
When you check the last one and submit the form.
becomes "MO";
It depends upon which you check at first. So you have to change the logic to solve it.
