I'm trying to set a checkbox as checked in php based on an hour fields from a comma separated value string. It works well for 1-23 but for some reason hour 0 always displays as checked:
<?php
myhours = explode(",", substr($arruser['arhours'],0,strlen($arruser['arhours']) - 1));
$checked = "";
for($hour = 0; $hour <= 23; $hour++) {
if(count($myhours) > 0) {
for($h = 0; $h <= count($myhours); $h++) {
if((int)$hour == (int)$myhours[$h]) {
$checked = " checked ";
break;
}
}
} else {
$checked = "";
}
if(strlen($hour) == 1) {
echo "<td><input type=checkbox " . $checked . " value=" . $hour . " onchange=\"updatehour(" . $_REQUEST['user'] . ",this.checked, '" . $hour . "')\">0$hour:00</td>";
} else {
echo "<td><input type=checkbox " . $checked . " value=" . $hour . " onchange=\"updatehour(" . $_REQUEST['user'] . ",this.checked, '" . $hour . "')\">$hour:00</td>";
}
$checked = "";
}
?>
The problem is straightforward; look at the outer loop:
for ($hour = 0; $hour <= 23; $hour++) {
Consider only the first iteration, so $hour
is int(0)
. Further in the code:
if(count($myhours) > 0) {
for($h = 0; $h <= count($myhours); $h++) {
Pay close attention to the loop condition:
$h <= count($myhours)
Consider the last iteration of that loop, so $h
equals the size of your array.
if ((int)$hour == (int)$myhours[$h]) {
At this point $myhours[$h]
is undefined because the array index is out of bounds (and a notice would have been emitted) and so (int)$myhours[$h]
becomes (int)null
which is int(0)
. The comparison is therefore always true when $hour
has the value of int(0)
.
The solution is to change the loop condition to:
$h < count($myhours)
Not exactly and answer, but your code could be reduced to this:
$myhours = array(0, 10, 13, 20);
for($hour = 0; $hour <= 23; $hour++) {
echo '<td><input type="checkbox"' . ( in_array($hour, $myhours) ? ' checked' : '' ) . ' value="' . $hour . '" onchange="updatehour(' . $_REQUEST['user'] . ', this.checked, ' . $hour . ')">' . str_pad($hour, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) . ':00</td>';
}
No need for a second loop and more variables here. Also be aware to not output values from $_REQUEST
directly without any check.
Demo
Problem solved. It was actually the count($myhours)
that was causing the problem. Basically even with an empty string it still returns an array with 1 element. Changed to check if count($myhours) > 1
and everything is working as expected:
<?php
$myhours = explode(",", substr($arruser['arhours'],0,strlen($arruser['arhours']) - 1));
$checked = "";
for($hour = 0; $hour <= 23; $hour++) {
if(count($myhours) > 1) {
for($h = 0; $h <= count($myhours); $h++) {
if((int)$hour == (int)$myhours[$h]) {
$checked = " checked ";
break;
}
}
} else {
$checked = "";
}
if(strlen($hour) == 1) {
echo "<td><input type=checkbox " . $checked . " value=" . $hour . " onchange=\"updatehour(" . $_REQUEST['user'] . ",this.checked, '" . $hour . "')\">0$hour:00</td>";
} else {
echo "<td><input type=checkbox " . $checked . " value=" . $hour . " onchange=\"updatehour(" . $_REQUEST['user'] . ",this.checked, '" . $hour . "')\">$hour:00</td>";
}
$checked = "";
}
