Why do you need a foreach?  Is this a static amount of checkboxes?  You could just iteratively loop through.

[dennismonsewicz]

yes it is a static number...

 

I reckon I was trying to come up with a lazy way of producing the information lol...

 

How would I save the post information into an array and then write a foreach statement that will loop through the results?

I think you can do this (not tested!):

for($x=1;x{
     $post_var = "pm" . $x;
     $array = $_POST['$post_var'];
}

You can do it like this:

 

<?php
$checkboxes = array( "designer1" => "Designer", "pm1" => "PM", "writer" => "Writer", "pm2" => "PM" );

if( is_array( $checkboxes ) )
{
     foreach( $checkboxes as $key => $value )
     {
           print( "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"" . $key . "\" class=\"checkbox\" id=\"" . $key . "\" /> <label for=\"" . $key . "\">" . $value . "</label></div> )";
     }
}
?>
