Combining checkbox and button

Hey.

I currently have this form:

<form id="adminchoice" method="post" action="<?php echo $domain; ?>/session_variable.php">
	<div>
		<label class="login">Hak av for å vise adminverktøy</label>
		<input class="right" type="submit" value="Admin on/off" name="admintools" />
		<input class="right" type="checkbox" name="admincheck" <?php if ($_SESSION['hide_tools'] == "yes") { echo "checked='checked'"; } elseif ($_SESSION['hide_tools'] == "") {} ?> />
	</div>				
</form>

PHP:

It works just like I want it to work, but I feel it is a hassle to always have to click the checkbox to either remove or add a checkmark, and then having to click the button to update.

I'd like a way for doing the update with just the button - but alas, js is still not my forté, and I can't seem to figure out how to make a value pass through to the session_variables.php-file that will make it possible to validate it and return a $_SESSION.

The session_variable.php file looks like this:

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST["admincheck"])) {
	$_SESSION['hide_tools']="yes"; }
else { $_SESSION['hide_tools']=""; }
header("location: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");
?>

PHP:

So... can anyone rewrite this, or tell me what I need to do to get it to work with just the button?

What I want, in short, is that if I press the button while the session is set to "yes", it turns to no/empty, and if I press it while the session is empty/set to "no", it will change to "yes".

Anyone?

 

Hi,
I'm still not sure what exactly you mean. DO you want to switch session on/off after form submit without using checkbox?? Then you could use hidden form field :
<form id="adminchoice" method="post" action="<?php echo $domain; ?>/session_variable.php">
<div>
<label class="login">Hak av for å vise adminverktøy</label>
<input class="right" type="submit" value="Admin on/off" name="admintools" />
<input type="hidden" name="admincheck" value="<?php echo $_SESSION['hide_tools'] ?>" />
</div>
</form>

And in PHP (assuming default is "yes"):
<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_POST["admincheck"])) {
if($_POST["admincheck"]=="yes") $_SESSION['hide_tools']="no";
else $_SESSION['hide_tools']="yes";
}else $_SESSION['hide_tools']="yes";
header("location: $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]");
?>

Hope it helps someway....

 

Duh... I feel extremely stupid now. Thanks, it works perfectly.
