HI,

first try to be clear is typographical or grammatical joke 

any ways use the post method

$_POST['name of text box here'];

 

and by the way are u using array on that chk box

[kks_krishna]

Can i use like this :

 

$labels = $_GET['labels'];

[teng84]

if u are using post then

$labels = $_POST['labels']; 

but if you get data from url

$labels = $_GET['labels'];

Thanks.

 

For reteriving I am using like this

:

 

<?php print("Label :".$labels[1]); ?>

 

But its showing only the single character.

[teng84]

foreach($_POST['label'] as $value)

{

echo $value;

}

//that is good if you name  label as array like name="label[]"

[kks_krishna]

I used like this :

<?php  
						foreach($labels as $value)
						{
							echo $value;
						}
					?>

 

getting error like this :

 

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/content/k/k/s/kkskrishna/html/dlinks/add_link.php on line 47

$labels is this an array

[trq]

All these...

 

<input type="checkbox" name="labels" value="spring">Spring

 

Need to be....

 

<input type="checkbox" name="labels[]" value="spring">Spring

 

Then...

 

<?php

  foreach($_GET['labels'] as $value) {
    echo $value;
  }

?>

HI,

 

Now i got the problem. Its working. The problem is i am using URL rewriting. so its not able to get the values. Do you have any idea how to get the values when doing URL rewriting.

 

basically file name is add_link.php.

after url re wrting it is add_link.html

 

Please help me.

[trq]

This problem is unrelated. Id'e suggest posting your .htaccess and a description of your problem in the mod_rewrite board.

[kks_krishna]

Thanks,

 

don't mind, do you have any forums in PHP freaks related to .htaccess problems.
