          If you use an array for the checkboxes, you should add a value option as identifier for the single checkboxes, because then the returned array changes from
          Array ( [0] => on, [1] => on) to Array ( [0] => value1, [1] => value5 ), which let you identify the checked checkboxes.

            for those HTML form elements that can send multiple values to server (like checkboxes, or multiple select boxes), you should use an array like name for your HTML element name. like this:



            <input type="checkbox" name="checkboxname" />


            also it is recommended that you use an enctype of "multipart/form-data" for your form element.



            <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="target.php" method="post">


            then in your PHP scripts you can access the multiple values data as an array, just like you wanted.

                      for those HTML form elements that can send multiple values to server (like checkboxes, or multiple select boxes), you should use an array like name for your HTML element name. like this:



                      <input type="checkbox" name="checkboxname" />


                      also it is recommended that you use an enctype of "multipart/form-data" for your form element.



                      <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="target.php" method="post">


                      then in your PHP scripts you can access the multiple values data as an array, just like you wanted.
