Problem recognizing values

jackiw

Let's say the user selects "Checkbox #1" and "Checkbox #3" in the form below and submit, the values will be passed as "01" and "03", right? How can do for these values "01" and "03" passed by the form to recognize it's respective local vars "$checkbox_01" and "$checkbox_03" and print it's values on screen?

HTML Code:

<input name="checkboxes[]" type="checkbox" value="01">Checkbox #1<br>
<input name="checkboxes[]" type="checkbox" value="02">Checkbox #2<br>
<input name="checkboxes[]" type="checkbox" value="03">Checkbox #3<br>
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body></html>

<?

// get_checked.php

$checkbox_01 = "Phrase 01";
$checkbox_02 = "Phrase 02";
$checkbox_03 = "Phrase 03";


$count_checked = count($checkboxes);

for ($i=0; $i<$count_checked; $i++) {
    echo $checkboxes[$i];

}


?>

Why not just put the value for the checkbox_01 inside the value tag in the respective checkbox???

like:

<input name="checkboxes[]" type="checkbox" value="Phrase 01">Checkbox #1

if that is not the way you want to do it, reply and i'll take a second look.

This is not the way I want. I have to do like that because each value passed from the form has a label and a price.

For example:
the value 01 has label="Book" and price="5.00"
the value 02 has label="CD" and price="8.00"
the value 03 has label="Games" and price="6.00"

After the user checked the boxes I want to sum the price and put the product's description(label) on screen.
