Question

I have a bunch of checkboxes each with a unique name and value using $_POST method. How can I put the selected values into an array? I started using a for loop, but I don’t know how to call only one value at a time or determine whether it has been selected.

Answer 1

You want to do something like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckarray[]" value="1" />
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckarray[]" value="2" />
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckarray[]" value="3" />
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckarray[]" value="4" />

Check boxes 2 and 4, then at the server side, if you print_r($_POST['mycheckarray']);, you will get something like this:

Array (
  [0] => 2
  [1] => 4
)
