[SOLVED] multiselect form to array, post is displaying in url? strange

[trampolinejoe]

Hello,

I have a form that has some check boxes for example:

 

<form action="paymentMark.php" name="form">	
<input name='checkbutton[]' type='checkbox' value='1'> 
<input name='checkbutton[]' type='checkbox' value='2'> 
<input name='checkbutton[]' type='checkbox' value='3'>
</form>

 

Then on the next page paymentMark.php

	$checkbutton = array();
	$checkbutton = $_POST['checkbutton[]'];	
	print_r($checkbutton);

 

Nothing is showing in the array, and even more strangely, it is trying to post in the URL.

 

Here is a example:

paymentMark.php?checkbutton[]=1&Submit=Submit+Query

 

Why is this showing in the URL it normally dosnt  when you just post?

 

Any ideas.

that's because you didn't specify posting method in your form, so it defaults to the GET method (through the url). Add

 

method='post'

 

to your form tag
