You are struggling with some basic php concepts. I'm guessing your $options array contains integers as the value and the 0th element of the array is a '0'. which is the crux of the problem. '0' > 0 will always return false. Perhaps the comparison that you need to write write is !== 0. the extra = sign in php comparisons means exactly equal in both type and value. Otherwise the '0' string data gets converted to the 0 integer before the comparison. My point about $index vs. $key was really about your code snippet: foreach($form_state['values']['category_boundary']['category_fieldset'][ 'catg'] as $key => $value) { if($form_state['values']['category_boundary']['category_fieldset']['catg '][$index] > 0) { //row is selected. } else { //row is not selected. } } In this code "as $key => $value" means that the array index will be placed in the variable $key, but then you're using an undefined variable $index in the $form_state['values'] test. $index is an undefined variable as far as I can tell, but I'm betting it get set by code that you omitted to keep the example sanely short. Sometimes though when people post these they just haven't noticed, so I wanted to point it out. In short changing y our >0 comparison to !==0 should solve the problem. ________________________________ From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Kamal Palei Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 5:42 PM To: support@drupal.org Subject: Re: [support] Tableselect in forms issue Hi All Thanks a lot for the input. I am little bit confused with $index stuff. When I add tableselect element, I use the key "['category_boundary']['category_fieldset']['catg']" . Somewhere deep in form code, for every row's checkbox, what index is used by form.inc I really do not know. So instead of $index what I should use, I am not sure. Tried to debug more. When I am trying to add rows (means none of the rows were selected), if I print the array using dpm(), I get below output. ... (Array, 4 elements) * 0 (Integer) 0 * 1 (Integer) 0 * 2 (Integer) 0 * 3 (Integer) 0 When I am tying to delete rows (means one or more rows were selected, in this particular case I had selected rows 2, 3 and 4), if I print the array $form_state['values']['category_boundary']['category_fieldset']['catg'] using dpm(), I get below output, ... (Array, 4 elements) * 1 (String, 1 characters ) 1 * 2 (String, 1 characters ) 2 * 3 (String, 1 characters ) 3 * 0 (Integer) 0 Thats the reason, thought of taking $index as key where $index can be one of 0,1,2,3. Using the logic mentioned in my first email, I will be able to delete the rows 2, 3 and 4. But the problem is if I try to delete the 1st row it does not get deleted. I tried to print the array, it looks as below. ... (Array, 4 elements) * 0 (String, 1 characters ) 0 * 1 (Integer) 0 * 2 (Integer) 0 * 3 (Integer) 0 Since irrespective of fact, 0th row is selected or not, always value is 0. Thats the reason, why logic (if($form_state['values']['category_boundary']['category_fieldset']['cat g'][$index] > 0) ) does not work. But from above prints, one thing is clear while I have selected 0th row, 0th element is 0 (String, 1 characters ) 0 and when 0th row is not selected, it looks as 0 (Integer) 0 , (please note the difference here) hence, there should be someway to determine if 0th row is selected or not. I am not a PHP expert , so probably missing something here. Can somebody kindly help here, how do I determine if the 0th row is selected or not.

Sometimes I need to remove the selected rows from form table. My question is, how can I determine if a particular row is selected. Currently using below code to determine which row is selected. foreach($form_state['values']['category_boundary']['category_fieldset'][ 'catg'] as $key => $value) { if($form_state['values']['category_boundary']['category_fieldset']['catg '][$index] > 0) { //row is selected. } else { //row is not selected. } } I can determine all the rows if those are selected or not except the 0th row. Can somebody tell me, what is the RIGHT way to determine if a particular row in a table is selected or not.
