Re: POST checkbox group

..oO(Richard Walker)

Trying to send the data from a checkbox group to a php process and it's
just sending the last box clicked as a variable, rather than the whole
group as an array. Am I being stupid?

ie html:

<form name="selectform" action="data.php" method="post">
<input name="days" type="checkbox" value="mon" />Mon
<input name="days" type="checkbox" value="tue" />Tue
<input name="days" type="checkbox" value="wed" />Wed
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

Use name="days[]". Then $_POST['days'] will be an array, containing the
values of all checked checkboxes.
