POST of checkbox values in array => wrong value

[ndedecke]

Hello,

I'm having trouble with html/php.

I have a bunch of checkboxes on a page, so I decided to use an array instead of having seperate names per checkbox:

<input type="checkbox" name="chkos[] value="41">

However when I read the $chkos array after the POST I only get "on" values instead of my real value, 41 in this case.

When I give my checkboxes a unique name it does give the right value.
I guess this must be html related ? But is there a workaround ?

$numrows = count($chkos);
for ($i=0; $i < $numrows; $i++) {
echo "value is: " . $chkos[$i] ."<br>";
}

With 3 checkboxes checked it displays:
value is: on
value is: on
value is: on

And I would expect / need:
value is: 41
value is: 41
value is: 41

Any ideas/workarounds ?
Thanks in advance

Looks like you're just missing a double quote....

<input type="checkbox" name="chkos[]" value="41">

Wow,
Thanks for the fast reply, problem solved with the quote in place...

I overlooked it, the html code was generated by php echo commands, so with all the escaping i missed it.

Anyway thanks again !
