Echo Value Of A Checkbox

[warrenk]

I am trying to view the value of a checkbox.  When I use the code below, I get the value with extra information

 

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {

    $a=$_POST['checkbox'];

    print_r($a);

}

 

The value I am getting from the above code - 'Array ( [0] => mm_r.gif)'

 

....I just want the actual value - 'mm_r.gif'

instead of print_r($a),

 

use echo $a

[warrenk]

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {

  $a=$_POST['checkbox'];

  echo $a;

  echo "<br>";

  print_r($a);

}

 

Here are the results:

 

Array  <==========results of echo $a

Array ( [0] => 27292181.jpg )  <=========results of print_r($a)

 

The value I am looking for is the file name (ie. 27292181.jpg).

 

Thanks for any help,

Warren

the above will only work for one check box, other wise you need to place the checkboxes in an array. So... If your checkboxes look like so...

 

Square brace must be on the end, it defines an array

<input type="checkbox" value="123.jpg" name="view[]">
<input type="checkbox" value="456.jpg" name="view[]">
<input type="checkbox" value="789.jpg" name="view[]">

 

then your php will look like this:

<?php
if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
     foreach($_POST['view'] as $value){
          echo $value.'<br>';
     }
}
?>

Thanks for your help!  This is exactly what I was after.
