multiple checkboxes

[Anon]

I am writing form mailer-script and I am having problems with multiple checkboxes. If there are several checkboxes of the same name only the last one will be sended. I know that I can avoid this by using names as array (name="name[]"). But that method is not good for me. My script will be in public use so it is impossible to use that method because different users can use different names for checkboxes. One uses 'whatever' and second uses 'something'. Is there any other method(s) to do a list of the values. It has to be something like this in email:
'name: value1, value2, value3'.

I am sorry if my text is not the clearest one, but I don't know how else to tell it.

Thanks!

I am very confused on what exactly you are trying to do..
You have mulitple checkboxes and they all have the same name. Now why exactly must they have the same name ?

Just like I said the script will be in public use. So if some user wants to use checkboxes to find out other peoples interests he/she might use checkboxes.

At this address is one example (Interests):

Most of the users propably don't know anything about PHP, so it would be best solution if the field names just could be written without '[]'s. I think many just would forget to write '[]' at end of the name.

If someone is familiar with perl I think he/she knows what kind of method I am trying tell. (Creating the list when parsing the fields).
