I have no idea what you mean.  Given the code that you posted, if you use my echo instead of yours and you CHECK the box and SUBMIT the form you will see haa outputted.  Assuming that the PHP code is located in jvs.php.  What are you wanting?

[tomindo]

I want name="box" to pass when I submit. In other words, I want to pass value "box" not "haa" when clicking submit

thanks you

[tomindo]

sorry , I want to pass both "haa" and "box" . I want to reuse "box" , of course "haa" as well.  Yeah, I know "echo $_POST['box'] " will pass "haa". So how to pass "box"?

<input type="checkbox" name="name" value="box">

 

But this is probably not what you want.  What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

[tomindo]

right , that is not I want. I want to reuse "box" , of course "haa" as well.  Yeah, I know "echo $_POST['box'] " will pass "haa". So how to pass "box"?

thanks

You can't pass two values for one control.  Ignore what you are trying to do and break it down in more simple terms.  There is probably a way but this isn't it.

If you know the incoming variable (box) why do you need to pass it to reuse it when you already know what it is

[tomindo]

you think we can add more control ?

[requinix]

It's best if you know something coming from the form - whether it's "box" or "data" or whatever.

foreach ((array)$_POST["data"] as $name => $value) {
    echo "{$name} = {$value}
\n";
}

(It's generally not good to loop on $_POST itself.)

thanks guys

btw, hey requinix just wondering why did you put curly brackets around $name and $value while without them the result are the same

Because I prefer to. Easier to read.
