Getting back all my checkbox selections in PHP

[ksmatthews]

Hi There,

 

I have set up the folowing simple checkbox within my form  ...         

 

<label>Text

              <input name = "checkbox" type = "checkbox"

                  value = "text" /></label>

     

            <label>Audio

              <input name = "checkbox" type = "checkbox"

                  value = "audio" /></label>

 

What I would like to know is how can I retrieve the values for EACH checkbox option server side ?

 

When I use this code as it is, I am only able to retrieve ONE value for the name 'checkbox' ... but don't I have to keep  name = "checkbox" the same ??

 

Any suggestions ?

No.

 

You need to turn name="checkbox" to name="checkbox[]".

 

Then on the server side it will come up as $_POST["checkbox"][]. So if the first is checked, $_POST["checkbox"][0] will have the value of "text".
