Using checkboxes to select adoptables

[Isura]

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':


<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:


private function secure($data){
if(is_array($data) and SUBDIR != "AdminCP") die ("Hacking Attempt!");
...
}


(Or in Mys v.1.3.3:)


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:


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:

//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
}
}

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

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


code

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

for($i = 0; $i < count($select); $i++)
{
//$select[$i]; my selected checkbox

}
