Displaying Checkbox Values

Featured Replies

I have a database containing item details that include a number of checkboxes which have either been 'checked' or not as required.

I am creating a web interface using the FileMaker API for PHP and need to retrieve the checkbox information to display on the web details page. I am using the following code to try to retrieve the data:

foreach ($records as $record) {

$detail .= '
getField('dbaseFieldName') .'> Checkbox1';




I'm then displaying the data in the body of the page using:




<?php echo $detail; ?>

However, the checkbox displays as unchecked in all cases. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I managed to sort this out in the end using a combination of FMP calculations and PHP scripts to place image equivalents of the checkboxes based on the checkbox values.

...


$fields = array("Field1"=>"Value1","Field2"=>"Value2","Field3"=">"Value3");

foreach($records as $record){

    foreach($fields as $fieldName=>$valueToTest){

        if( $record->getField($fieldName) == $valueToTest )

             $checked = "checked";

        else $checked = "";

        $detail .= "{$valueToTest}";

    }

}
