I'm going crazy! Checkbox field returns only last checked element value

[everknown]

I have searched quite a bit posts dealing with 'checkbox' and 'problem' but have not found someone who has had the problem i am having:

I have a form that sends to the browser a checkbox, i'm using checker[] as the name so that it will return an array to my script on submit.

I'm going nuts because when i do a foreach loop on the array and echo the values, only the last checked value is in the displayed.

Everything looks in order, can anyone help me retain my sanity? THANKS!!!

Here is the HTML from my browser....

<form name='autoform' method='post'><table width='500' border='0'><tr><td width='80'><fieldlabel>Date: </fieldlabel></td><td width=''><input type='text' name='date' size='12' maxlength='10' value='2004-11-08'>
</td> </tr></table><BR><input
type='checkbox'
name='checker[]'
value=''>Put clothes away<BR><input
type='checkbox'
name='checker[]'
value='61'>Read Newspaper<BR><input
type='checkbox'
name='checker[]'
value='31'>Drink Water<BR><input
type='checkbox'
name='checker[]'
value='57'>Make bed<BR><input
type='checkbox'
name='checker[]'
value='58'>Take Vitamins<BR><BR><input type='submit' name='save' value='Submit'></form>

here is my php code for on save

<php>
if ($_REQUEST['save'])
{

		//$this_record->save("","");
		echo $_REQUEST['checker'] ;     // echos 'array';

		foreach ($_REQUEST['checker'] as $x);
		{
		echo $x. "<BR>";      // If I select all, all I get '58'
		}

		echo "<h1>" . $pagetitle . " saved.</h1><BR><BR><BR>";

		exit;
	}</php>

Try closing your input elements.

<input type="checkbox" name="checker[]" value="66" />

That / at the end closes things up. If that does not help then use View Source to confirm that the html is being generated correctly.

It also seems like you are missing the action attribute from your form element.

Thanks ahundiak, i added the slash to complete the tag and added an action to the form tag and it still does not work. Here is the code that i got from my browser:

<form name='autoform' method='post' action='form-dailylog.php'><table width='500' border='0'><tr><td width='80'><fieldlabel>Date: </fieldlabel></td><td width=''><input type='text' name='date' size='12' maxlength='10' value='2004-11-08'></td></tr></table><BR>

<input type='checkbox' name='checker[]' value=''/>Put clothes away<BR>

<inputtype='checkbox' name='checker[]' value='63'/>Read Newspaper<BR>

<input type='checkbox' name='checker[]' value='31'/>Drink Water<BR>

<input type='submit' name='save' value='Submit'></form>

[ahundiak]

foreach ($_REQUEST['checker'] as $x);
Delete the semi-colon!

Thanks!!! That was really annoying.

if you're getting an array.. you can always check it quick with...

print_r($variable); //will print with key/value pairs

or just do a quick implode

implode(", ", $variable); //will print values comma separated
