form select field problem

tragikx

after submitting the form and trying to use $POST['test'] it only gives me the last selected item, even if more than 1 are selected.. so for example, if i check, the top 3 boxes, $POST['test'] will only = 3... is this normal within php?

i need to have a list returned, so $_POST['test'] should be 1,2,3

<form action='test.php' method='post'>
  <input type='checkbox' name='test[]' value='1'><br/>
  <input type='checkbox' name='test[]' value='2'><br/>
  <input type='checkbox' name='test[]' value='3'><br/>
  <input type='checkbox' name='test[]' value='5'><br/> 
  <input type='checkbox' name='test[]' value='8'><br/>
  <input type='submit' name='testx'>
</form>

This will now return an array of checked items.

foreach($_POST['test'] as $checked)
  echo $checked;
}

thanks for the reply.

is there an easy way to convert an array to a comma delimited list?

$list = implode(',',$_POST['test']);
