Passing Multi Checkbox Value int FPDF

Question 1

I don't know what you are trying to achieve but here is the working example: This will print the value you have submitted in your PHP file. Also try to use jquery instead.

<form action="formaction.php" id="form">
<table>
<tr>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Radiography (RT)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Radiography (RT)</td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Ultrasonic (UT)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Ultrasonic (UT)</td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Liquid Penetrant (PT)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Liquid Penetrant (PT)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Magnetic Particle (MT)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Magnetic Particle (MT)</td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Visual (VT)" /></td>
    <td valign="middle">Visual (VT)</td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Leak (LT)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Leak (LT)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Eddy Current (EC)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Eddy Current (EC)</td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Infrared &amp; Thermography (I&amp;T)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Infrared &amp; Thermography (I&amp;T)</td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;"><input style="margin-top:0px; cursor:pointer;" type="checkbox" name="afchek[]" value=" Acoustic Emission (AE)" /></td>
    <td style="padding-left:4px;">Acoustic Emission (AE)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="main.js"></script>

Here is how you submit the form and it will alert the value you have submitted.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#form").on("submit",function(event){
           event.preventDefault();
           postdata = $('#form').serialize();
           $.ajax({
             type: 'POST',
             url: 'formaction.php',
             data: postdata,
             success: function(res){
                alert(res);
             }
        });
    });
});

Here is your PHP file: Which return whatever has been submitted through the form and alert it alert on success of your ajax request.

<?php 
    //formaction.php
    $afname=$_POST["afchek"];
    foreach ($afname as $key => $afname) {
       echo ucfirst($afname);
    }
?>

Now you can use this value the way you want.

Hope that helps. Not exactly the way you wanted but you will get an idea.

Question 2

Use POST supper global variable instead.

e.g.

ucfirst($_POST["afname"]);

or, try to serialize data and and pass that to your php file.

something like:

$("#Your_Form_ID").on("submit",function(){
   postdata = $('#Your_Form_ID').serialize();
   $.ajax({
     type: 'POST',
     url: 'pdf/create_ASNT.php',
     data: postdata ,
     success: function(res){
         $afsuccess.fadeIn();
         $aferror.fadeOut();
     }
 });

In your PHP file:

    $afname=ucfirst($_POST["afname"]);

Hope that helps.
