This will work:
http://www.php.net/array_merge
Call your checkboxes like so:
a.php
==========================================
<form action="b.php" method="post">
<input type="checkbox" name="a1" value="A"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="a2" value="B"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="a3" value="C"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="a4" value="D"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="a5" value="E"><br>
<input type="checkbox" name="a6" value="F"><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT">
</form>
==========================================
then post it to the desired page and do something like this:
b.php
==========================================
<?php
$foo =
array_merge($_POST['a1'],$_POST['a2'],$_POST['a3'],$_POST['a4'],$_POST['a5']
,$_POST['a6']);
echo $foo; // Returns an array
echo "<pre>";
print_r($foo); // Look whats in the array
echo "</pre>";
?>
==========================================
Best of luck,
