javascript vs php problem ! PLS HELP !

[kimberlc]

Ok here's my deal.

When I create an array of check boxes, the only way PHP handles them as an array is if I name the check box say:
<input type="checkbox" name="value[]" value="whatever">

If I give the checkbox name="value" without the brackets, then the values don't get passed. Now here's the problem. If I use a button to submit this page, and send it to a javascript function, lets say in order to check if a checkbox has been checked or not, it doesn't like name with [] included in it.. This problem has been driving me absolutely crazy, and so far I haven't found a way around it.. If you have any suggestions please let me know !!

Thanx !

Just give the check box any ordinary name eg

<input type="checkbox" name="name" value="x">

Then use javascript function client side to sort out whatever you want there.

Then send to PHP and dissect out the variable array to get your variable.
