checkbox

Really silly question

I have a dynamic PHP script on my page that generates checboxes for a form

So I may have 12 checkboxes..

How can I call them up once submitted via php because if I set a name for them all as

[code]<input type=checkbox name=list value=1>
<input type=checkbox name=list  value=6>
<input type=checkbox name=list value=4>
<input type=checkbox name=list value=13>
<input type=checkbox name=list value=19>[/code]

Obviously I cant do

[b]echo $_POST['list'];[/b]

Because thats only referring to one of those checkboxes. So how can I call them all up by name without naming them differently in the checkbox? The values will always be dynamic by the way

Cheers

[code]<?
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
$a=$_POST['list'];
print_r($a);
}
?>

<form method=POST>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=1>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=6>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=4>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=13>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=19>

[code]
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=1>
<input type=checkbox name=list[]  value=6>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=4>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=13>
<input type=checkbox name=list[] value=19>
make it an array.
<?
just print the array.
for($i=0; $i< count($_REQUEST['list']); $i++)
{
echo  $_REQUEST['list'][$i];

}
?>
[/code]
