<input type="checkbox" name="task[]" value"16">
<input type="checkbox" name="task[]" value"26">
<input type="checkbox" name="task[]" value"56">
$tasks = $_REQUEST['task'];
print_r($tasks);
but I only get an array that tells me if the checkbox's are on - I need the values???
please help
that is not going to work, because your variable name is the same for each checkbox.
I think I got it to work:
<FORM...>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="sports[snow]">Snow</INPUT>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="sports[skate]">Skate</INPUT>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="sports[surf]">Surf</INPUT>
</FORM>
Submitting this would generate an array, $sports:
[snow] => 'On'
[surf] => 'On'
I think you're on the right track... here's a test I tried:
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="get" action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>">
<input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="10" />10<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="20" />20<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="test[]" value="30" />30<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<p>
<?php
if ($GET['submit']){
print_r($GET);
}
?>
</p>
</body>
</html>
Worked fine for me... $_GET['test'] was an array with all checked values.
<?
$test = $_REQUEST['test'];
foreach ($test as $key => $value) {
print "$key = $value<br>";
}
?>
<form name=form method=post action=test.php>
<input type=checkbox value=1 name="test[]">1<br>
<input type=checkbox value=2 name="test[]">2<br>
<input type=checkbox value=3 name="test[]">3<br>
<input type=submit>
</form>
Using your initial example:
<input type="checkbox" name="task[]" value="16">
<input type="checkbox" name="task[]" value="26">
<input type="checkbox" name="task[]" value="56">
$tasks = $_REQUEST['task'];
print_r($tasks);
Notice the equal sign between value and double quotes within the INPUT tag ;-)
