tick box problem

[remote2]

i have a list of tickbox

<input type="checkbox" name="message_id" value="<? echo $message_list[$i] ?>">

which is generated dynamically...

the problem is if i tick multiple boxes... i only get 1 value...

that i was thinking instead of putting my variable in value="<? echo $message_list[$i] ?>"
i could assign them to name="<? echo $message_list[$i] ?>"
but if i use $_POST how would i get those values???

anyway... does anyone has a solution to this problem???

Change the name of the tick box to "message_id[]". This will cause PHP to assign each element to an array.
