[PHP] RE: How to handle multiple value checkboxes

[COQUET,JULIEN (Non-HP-France,ex1)]

name your checkboxes like so

input type=checkbox name=mycheckbox[] value=1

on your result page you'll end up with an array of checked boxes. If the
boxes are not checked they dont appear in the array.
for quick and dirty debugging on your result page:

?
print 'pre';
print_r($_POST['mycheckbox']); // returns your checkbox array
print '/pre';
?

hope this helps :)

Subject: How to handle multiple value checkboxes




  If I have a form with multiple checkboxes with different values but the
same name, and someone selects a couple of them, how do I reference all of
the values? Right now I am only getting the last one selected.

hi lon

thats because for the same variable can be submitted only one value. make an
array (like variable[]) out of your variable and then parse it with
foreach() for working with the values selected by the user.

hope you understand what i'd like to say. my english is not too good.

bye,
matt
