[PHP] Re: checkbox question
if you can't use [] for the checkbox, the only way out is to have unique name for each checkbox. otherwise, php will always be returning the value of the last checked checkbox if all checkboxes share the same name without the []. --lance Alex Shi wrote: How to ontain data from a group of checkbox using same name?

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=Abr input type=checkbox name=a2 value=Bbr input type=checkbox name=a3 value=Cbr input type=checkbox name=a4 value=Dbr input type=checkbox name=a5 value=Ebr input type=checkbox name=a6 value=Fbr 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, Craig B.C.

[PHP] Re: checkbox question
Why cant you use square brackets?? call all your checkboxes the following: interesting_area[] Then post it to whatever page, now all the checkboxes that were checked are held in a array (interesting_area) To see what is contained in the array, do the following: ?php echo pre; print_r($_POST[interesting_area]); echo /pre; ? From here it depends on what you want to do with the data.. You can loop through the array, using for(), foreach() or while(), or alternatively write a function to manipulate the data.
