Question

I’m using this code:

$permissions = array("canview", "canpostthreads", "canpostreplies", "canpostpolls", "all");
foreach($permissions as $permission) {
  for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
    $mode = $_POST['permission'][$i][$permission];
    if($mode == 1) 
      echo "{$permission} = {$i}:::";
  }
}

And the output if I check some checkboxes is:

canview = 1:::canview = 5:::canpostreplies = 3:::canpostpolls = 5:::

I wan’t the output to be following:

instead of canview = 1:::canview = 5:

canview = 1,5

and if I’ll have for example:

canpostpolls = 1:::canpostpolls = 2:::canpostpolls = 3

It’ll be:

canpostpolls = 1,2,3:::canview = 1,5

I hope you understand it guys. This is my own idea for this, you are free to share your ideas with me, this data will be exported to the mysql table.

$permissions = array("canview", "canpostthreads", "canpostreplies", "canpostpolls", "all");
$setpermissions = array();
foreach($permissions as $permission) {
  for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
    $mode = $_POST['permission'][$i][$permission];
    if($mode == 1) {
      if (!isset($setpermissions[$permission])) {
         $setpermissions[$permission] = array();
      }
      $setpermissions[$permission][] = $i;
    }
  }
}
$plist = array();
foreach ($setpermissions as $name => $sp) {
   $plist[] = "$name = " . implode(',', $sp);
}
echo implode(':::', $plist);
