Parsing Input:checkbox

[KittyKate]

I am feeling rather frustrated and braindead at this point... too many stupid HTML bugs in a day (if only I could at least say that they were because of me, but I'm suffering through another's code!).

I've got the front end working at this point, but here is the setup and please tell me the name/value/id I need to set to get this thing to work.

A pair of radio buttons trigger a javascript for one of two sets of checkboxes to be enabled.

I can figure out which radio button was set, but I'm having issues parsing the checkboxes. The basic idea of the code I'm using is:

[code]<?php
foreach($_POST['name'] as $value) {
    //add $value to database
}
?>[/code]

Is this remotely correct? And will only the the ones that are checked show up, or do I need to test for that (and if so how)?

We need to see the source for your form.

Note: pseudo code!!!!

[code]<form name='name1'>
  <input type='radio' onclick='javascript(a)' name='type' value='a' id='a' />A
  <input type='radio' onclick='javascript(b)' name='type' value='b' id='b' />B

  <input type='checkbox' name='a' id='a#' value='#' />String
  <input type='checkbox' name='a' id='a#' value='#' />String
...
  <input type='checkbox' name='b' id='b#' value='#' />String
  <input type='checkbox' name='b' id='b#' value='#' />String
...
</form>
[/code]

But yes, only the checked checkbox info is posted

Check it out
[code]<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    echo '<pre>', print_r($_POST, true), '</pre><hr>';
} 
?>
<FORM method='POST'>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox[1]" value="1"> 1 <BR/>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox[2]" value="2"> 2 <BR/>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox[3]" value="3"> 3 <BR/>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox[4]" value="4"> 4 <BR/>
<input type="checkbox" name="chkbox[5]" value="5"> 5 <BR/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>[/code]

Finally got it working. Thanks Barand!

I never thought of using print_r with a true on it. I usually use if(isset($_POST['chkboz[]'])) because like Barand mentioned, they only get posted if they are checked.
