PHP JQuery Checkbox Array - Selecting only 1 value - php

Question

Following is an ajax post page which renders the checkboxes on run-time. I am facing issue while writting the script for select all button, when I click on the button only 1 value is getting selected not the entire array:
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
include("../includes/functions.php");
if(isset($_REQUEST['t']))
{
$td = $_REQUEST['t'];
$t = split(",",$td);
$all = "";
$box_in_row = 0 ;
$this_box="<table border=0><tr>";
foreach($t as $table)
{
$this_box = "<td><h3>$table</h3>";
$result = mysql_query("SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM $table FROM prfxcom1_prfx");
$options = "";
while($r = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
if(!empty($r->Comment))
{
$options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name=\"".$table."[]\" value='$r->Field' id=\"$table\">" . $r->Field;
}
}
if($table == "transfer_req")
{
$options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name=\"".$table."[]\" value='Net Profit' id=\"$table\">NetProfit";
}
$this_box .= $options;
// Button
$click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')";
$button = "<br /><input style='margin-top:10px;' type='button' name='$table_button' id='$table_button' value=' Select All ' onclick=\"$click\"/>";
$all .= "<div class='tblBox'>".$this_box.$button."</div></td>";
}
//$all = "<table class=\"listing form\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">".$all."</table>";
echo $all;
}
?>
Issue is faced in the line:
$click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')";
Please suggest, I am stuck on this.
Thanks,

Answer 1

WHAT???
$click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')";
How can you write Javascript in the middle of a PHP file? It needs to be in script tags but even then PHP runs at the server and will not render your Javascript for you.
Add script tags, change your ID's to separate ones and give them the same class like tableClassName, and then write the following.
$(function(){
$('.tableClassName').attr('checked', 'checked')";
});

Ignoring the many issues with the code and simply answering the question:
You need to refer to the checkboxes using a class name not a ID (you have given them all the same ID)
For these lines: $options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name=\"".$table."[]\" value='$r->Field' id=\"$table\">" . $r->Field;
Change to: $options .= "<br><input type=checkbox name='" . $table . "[]' value='" . $r->Field ."' class='" . $table . "'>" . $r->Field;
For this line: $click = "$('#$table').attr('checked', 'checked')"; use single quotes or escape the $
Change to: $click = '$("."'.$table.'").attr("checked", "checked")';
