Converting form fields into an array

[mrgrammar]

I have a form that enters inventory values based on date. Each day has a certain inventory value. Some days of the month have the same inventory values. I have 31 checkboxes, one for each day of the month and the inventory value form field.

I enter the inventory value and then check the days that the inventory value applies to.

When inserting the data into the mysql database, I would like to loop through the days and if a day is checked, then I run the mysql query to insert the data.

How do I convert all the checkboxes into an array or is there a better way to do it?

<form method="post">
  <input type="checkbox" name="box[]" val="1">
  <input type="checkbox" name="box[]" val="2">
</form>

This will give you an array in $POST['box']. eg;

foreach ($_POST['box'] as $box) {
  echo $box."<br />";
}

Hope that helps.
