parsing checkbox value to a script by post method

[Anon]

Hi, I have few check boxes in an .html file and I wonder how can I pass those checked value over to a script by using post method ?

From my understanding, passing value to a script has two ways : GET and POST method.

I've tried the GET method where I use the QUERY_STRING and now I would like to try for the POST method. I'm lack of idea of how to implement it. Help ? =)

I've assigned those check boxes into an array. Piece of code :

<form method="post" action="xxx.php3">
<br><input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="Food"> Food
<br><input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="Movie"> Movie
<br><input type="checkbox" name="interest[]" value="Gardening"> Gardening
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

In the xxx.php3, I've tried to get the array variable,

<?php

$array = ${interest};

while(list($key, $value) = each($array))
print "$value<br>";
?>

However, I have error of saying $array is not an array. Please advise. Thank you!

try this in xxx.php3

<?php

for($i=0;$i<sizeof($interest);$i++)
{
echo($interest[$i]."<br>");
}
?>

you need to index the array in some way, so..

<form method="post" action="xxx.php3">
<input type="checkbox" name="interest[0]" value="Food"> Food
<input type="checkbox" name="interest[1]" value="Movie"> Movie
<input type="checkbox" name="interest[2]" value="Gardening"> Gardening
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
