Question

I am having problems posting this multi checkbox data with ajax.

<?php
foreach($_SESSION['contacts'] as $user => $id) {?>
<li class="contactList"><span><input type="checkbox" name="contact[]" id="contact" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" /></span><?php echo $user; ?></li>
<?php } ?>

then the ajax

        var contact = $("#contact").val()
    var days = $("#days").val()
    $.ajax({
        type: 'post',
        url: 'temp_history.php',
        data: {contact: contact, days: days},
        context: document.body,

It is not posting the array of contacts as the form would submit normally but is submitting a single contact.

Any ideas?

You need you get values with loop. Try this:

var contact = new Array();
$("input[@name='contact[]']:checked").each(function() {
  contact.push($(this).val());
});
