Checkbox in PHP foreach loop - all checkboxes activate the 1st - php

Question

I have a foreach loop providing data to a html table. I have added a form around the table and on each row am adding an input/checkbox with the value set as the row_id from the db call.
When clicking on the first checkbox it selects, when clicking on other rows the 1st checkbox in the table selects not the row you intended.
I was under the impression that setting the name="whatever[]" like so adds the checkbox to an array? So in the form processor I can get it via $_POST['checkbox'] array. Which is working on the form processor part.
I am using bootstrap to style everything so this might be an issue?
I can't for the life of me seem to be able to fix the click one checkbox get only the first checked.
This is my table code:
<form action="<?php echo URLROOT.'/admin/voyage/sendemail'; ?>" method="POST">
<table id="volunteers" class="table table-bordered text-secondary">
<thead class="bg-msp-lightgrey">
<tr>
<th width="35px">

<th>
Volunteer
</th>
<th>
Position
</th>
<th>
DBS Status
</th>
<th>
Last Training

<th>

<th>

</th>
<th>

</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php foreach ($data['volunteerData'] as $volunteer) : ?>
<?php
$result = 'DBS Form to be sent';
$order = 0;
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsSent) {
$result = 'DBS Form sent to volunteer - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer->volunteer_dbsSent));
$order = 1;
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsReceived) {
$result = 'DBS Form returned to us - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer->volunteer_dbsReceived));
$order = 2;
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsASTO) {
$result = 'DBS Form sent to ASTO - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer->volunteer_dbsASTO));
$order = 3;
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsReturned) {
$result = 'DBS returned - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer_dbsReturned));
$order = 4;
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsClear) {
$result = 'DBS clear, cert number: - '.$volunteer->volunteer_dbsCertNum;
$order = 5;
}
?>

Answer 1

Try this code. Added new variable $type= ""; and passed in checkbox array.
<input type="checkbox" class="custom-control-input" id="check_<?php echo $Inc;?>" name="check[<?php echo $type;?>][]" value="<?php echo $volunteer->volunteer_id; ?>" />
Checkbox Id also made unique.
<tbody>
<?php
$Inc = 1;
foreach ($data['volunteerData'] as $volunteer) : ?>
<?php
$result = 'DBS Form to be sent';
$order = 0;
$type= "";
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsSent) {
$result = 'DBS Form sent to volunteer - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer->volunteer_dbsSent));
$order = 1;
$type= "dbsSent";
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsReceived) {
$result = 'DBS Form returned to us - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer->volunteer_dbsReceived));
$order = 2;
$type= "dbsReceived";
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsASTO) {
$result = 'DBS Form sent to ASTO - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer->volunteer_dbsASTO));
$order = 3;
$type= "dbsASTO";
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsReturned) {
$result = 'DBS returned - '.date('d/m/Y', strtotime($volunteer_dbsReturned));
$order = 4;
$type= "dbsReturned";
}
if ($volunteer->volunteer_dbsClear) {
$result = 'DBS clear, cert number: - '.$volunteer->volunteer_dbsCertNum;
$order = 5;
$type= "dbsClear";
}
?>
