But how do you reference the checkbox if it uses an array?
If a checkbox is contained within a loop, it is unknown how many checkboxes
will be displayed. Therefore, the variable name itself would have to be an
array, right? If I already know the amount of checkboxes, I can give them
each a name, and that's simple.
But in this case,the difficulty is when the checkbox is inside a loop. I
can't figure out the code for this...
<input type='checkbox' id='checkbox' value-'$file' name='cboPictures[]'>
