simple checkbox question

[gokeeffe]

Hi

I am trying to get the $array_number variable into the input box but i cannot manage it i keep getting this from the echo statement

$key => $array_number

instead of getting

$key => 0
$key => 1

etc

My question is really can you do this value="$array_number"


**************** Code *************************

// Get the array number
$array_number = $grind_number - 1;

echo'<p class = "confirmation"><input type="checkbox" name="remove[]" value="$array_number"/>&nbsp;Remove</p>';

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
foreach($_POST['remove'] as $key=> $data)
{
echo $key.'=>'. $data.'<br>';
}



}

The difficulty lies in the fact that single quoted strings are not parsed for variable substitution. Since you single quote your expression $array_number will be treated as a literal, just like any other text.
You can get out of your predicament by interrupting the quoted string and concatenating the variable.

echo '<p class = "confirmation"><input type="checkbox" name="remove[]" value="[COLOR=red]'.[/color]$array_number[COLOR=red].'[/color]"/>&nbsp;Remove</p>';
