big checkbox problem

[money]

hi to all.....please solve my problem......i hav a form & it has many checkboxes in it having same name ...what i want is that after i submit the form i want all the values of the checked checkboxes to be stored in a variable separated by comma.......if anybody can help pls tell

[bubblenut]

make the checkbox's names name[] rather than name and then access as an array in the recieving script.
eg

<?php
if(!isset($_POST['check'])) {
?>
<form method="post" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
<checkbox name="check[]" value="1" />
<checkbox name="check[]" value="2" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
<?php
} else {
print_r($_POST);
}
?>

Then check to make sure it's an array, and [man]implode[/man] it into a comma separated list.

but actually in the html page the checkboxes r generated in a loop thats y there name is same....i hav kept it as "a1" & autometically for all the checkboxes only this name ("a1") is generated but with different values......so just tell me now...what shud i write in my action page....to store all the values of checked boxes in a variable separated by comma

Change a1 to a1[] and do exactly what bubblenut said.
