Multipule Check Boxes for dynamic records. 1

[jstreich]

I have a database that is being populated by people filling out a public form. The admin screen will list rows of forms filled out with a check-box before each one. What I want to happen is the admin-user to be able to select multipule records using the check boxes and then click on a button to perform the same action to the selected check-box.

If there was an upper bound, I would be able to use dynamically created/named variables, but because there is no logical upper bound, I'd like to pass them as an array or other data structure. I can't seen to get this to work in Coldfusion, any ideas would be appreciated.

Not quite sure what you mean about the upper bound stuff, but if you have something like this

<!--- say my_query contains 1,2,3 in field1 and a,b,c in field2 --->
<cfloop query="my_query">
  <input type="checkbox" name="something" value="#my_query.field1#" />#my_query.field2#<br />
</cfloop>

within your form and you selected option a and c the values 1 and 3 would be passed to the next page as a comma delimeted list of values within a variable called "somthing"

then to get the information you can loop over the data as if it were a list like this:

<cfoutput>
  <cfloop list="#Form.something#" index="i">
    #i#<br />
  </cfloop>
</cfoutput>

Hope this helps!
