Using checkboxes to select adoptables

Hello,

I'm working on a group function to sort pets in different groups for Ruinily. It works fine so far I only have one small problem:

Current it's only possible to move one creature to one group at once. Since this is unpractical if people have a lot of pets, I want to do the selection over 'checkboxes':

PHP Code:


		
			
<form method='post'> 

...

<input type='checkbox' name='movecreature[]' value='{$adopt->aid}' />

...

</form>

Unfortunately, the mysidia script doesn't allowe the transmission of arrays over post or get. I think the reason is the secure function in the input class:

PHP Code:


		
			
private function secure($data){

if(is_array($data) and SUBDIR != "AdminCP") die ("Hacking Attempt!");

...

}

(Or in Mys v.1.3.3:)

PHP Code:


		
			
private function secure($data){

if(is_array($data)) die ("Hacking Attempt!");

...

}

Is there a way to formulate an exception for a certain post variable? Something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
if(is_array($data) and !is_array($_POST("movecreature"))) die ("Hacking Attempt!");

I'm really thankful for every idea to solve this problem :pleased:.
(Sorry for my bad english ^^)

I tried it out and "Hacking Attempt!" does appear when I try to use an array to store the values.

If there's no way to prevent it, you can always create a checkbox for each adoptables. Then do a cycle (after submitting) to verify which checkboxes were checked and had PetID values on them then push those values to an array and well, do your group thing.

Like:

PHP Code:


		
			
//for each pet, add a checkbox

$checkbox = new CheckBox("name", "Postname{$index}", value)

{$index}++ //doing this, for each pet you'll have Postname1, Postname2, Postname3 etc.. value can be pet ID?



//after submitting/post

for($index = 0; $index < numPets; $index++)

{

    if($mysidia->input->post("Postname{$index}") != NULL) //value not null means ID was stored/checked

{

     $petID = $mysidia->input->post("Postname{$index}");

     //do whatever

}

}

Thank you :happyc:

That really helps me.

I just wanted to say thankyou too! ^_^

Here's what I just did getting value of multiple checkboxes
view stuff:

Code:

$cells->add(new CheckBox("", "select[]", "{$id}"));

code

Code:

                $select = $mysidia->input->post("select");

                

                for($i = 0; $i < count($select); $i++)

                {

                        //$select[$i]; my selected checkbox

                        

                }
