Multiple values from a checkbox

[jdboydMS]

I need help with retrieving multiple values from a checkbox. There are about 20 to 25 options (values) to choose from under one checkbox name. When more than one checkboxes selected by user it returns a single value of the last selected checkbox. Why does it not give you the rest of the values that were selected?

Please give me direction how I can retrieve all the values selected. I've been trying to figure this out for the past 4 days and no luck.

Help!

You should give any checkbox a different name (e.g. check1 check2 check3...) and all value 1 if checked.

To know which one was checked just do...

if($check1 == 1){ echo "checked box n.3"; }
if($check2 == 1){ echo "checked box n.2"; }

Your code didn't work but the concept does. I worked another way around. See below.

Thanks.

$CFs = "";
        if ($HTTP_POST_VARS["Choose_Features1"] != NULL) {
            $CFs .= $HTTP_POST_VARS["Choose_Features1"].", ";
        }
        if ($HTTP_POST_VARS["Choose_Features2"] != NULL) {
            $CFs .= $HTTP_POST_VARS["Choose_Features2"].", ";
        }
 etc...
