Retrieving values from multiple checkbox

Anon

Heya

Is there a way to determine which variables were submitted when a user clicks the button?

Here's the scenario I'm trying to get:

A list of members is generated from a database, with a list of checkboxes beside each name.

There is a selection list at the bottom of the member list, indicating a choice (I believe in this scenario, it's a case of modifying an access level).

If you were to select more than 1 checkbox, it only sends 1 value.

Is there a way to be able to send more than 1 value though 1 variable name using an array or something?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi!
Please help me,I am now in a terrible trouble.

INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="Stuff[]" VALUE="foo">
<INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="Stuff[]" VALUE="bar">

In the passage above ,if I also want to validate the user input with javascript,such as I want to ensure that user must select one checkbox,how can i do it?since the javascript says a varible with "[]" appending is incorrect, it troubles me a lot.

Help!
Thank you very much!

How about hiding array index , so the user cannot read the html source?
thanks.

Patrick,

Thanks, that really helped me a lot! At least half of my problem is solved.

But how can I pass these array values to an html formatted e-mail?

I'm trying:

<?php

mail("myemail@someplace.com", "Form Results", "$x[1]<br>");

But no luck at all...

To be more specific what I'm trying to do is send the exact result (html formatted if possible) obtained using the modified version of your original code below...

<?php

while($x = each($Stuff))
{
echo "$x[1]<BR>";
}

...To an specified e-mail.

As you can see I'm totally newbie in this programming stuff so any light in this field would be helpful...

Thanks in advance,

Alex
