How to get the values of the checkbox which are checked

komal

I am using the the QuickForm (Pear) to add the components on the form.

I am having a form in which there are 5 checkboxes and a combo box. On the value checked in the box,the combo is to be populated. But this is to be populated before the form is sumitted.

How can I do this?

as in, use javascript, not PHP for this

In other words, PHP is a server-side language, so to do some client-side operations as you're suggesting you'd need a client-side language (namely Javascript).

If the values to populate the combo box are fixed (e.g. you're not trying to retrieve data from a database to populate the box), then simple Javascript is all you'd need. Otherwise, you should look into using AJAX to query a PHP script on your server based on the checkbox a user clicks, retrieve the relevant data, and then populate the combo box (all done behind-the-scenes, e.g. no page refresh).
