Greetings.
I’ve got a situation where I am displaying all files contained in a directory in a multiple select box, so the user can move filenames from the available list of files to a selected list. To demonstrate:
Available Files__________Selected Files
dog.txt_________< >
cat.txt__________< >
bird.txt__________< >
fish.txt__________< >
User selects “cat” and “fish”…
Available Files__________Selected Files
dog.txt_________< >________cat.txt
bird.txt _________< >_______fish.txt
What I need to figure out is how to code php to insert the array (in this case (cat.txt, fish.txt) into my MYSQL table.
Here’s the code I have controlling the multiple select boxes (note: $array contains the filenames from the directory the user is looking at)…
echo "<select multiple name=fromBox id=fromBox>";
if ($array)
{
sort($array);
foreach ($array as $value)
{
echo "<option>" . $value . "</option><br>";
}
}
echo "</select>";
echo "<select multiple name=toBox id=toBox>";
echo "</select>";
So, I need to capture the results of $value from “toBox”.
Any thoughts, suggestions, etc.?
Thanks in advance!
