[RESOLVED] Is there a solution or easier way for this?

[Bilbozilla]

$skills1=$_POST['checkbox1'];
$skills2=$_POST['checkbox2'];
$skills3=$_POST['checkbox3'];
$skills4=$_POST['checkbox4'];
$skills5=$_POST['checkbox5'];
$skills6=$_POST['checkbox6'];
$skills7=$_POST['checkbox7'];
$skills8=$_POST['checkbox8'];
$skills9=$_POST['checkbox9'];
$skills10=$_POST['checkbox10'];
$skills11=$_POST['checkbox11'];
$skills12=$_POST['checkbox12'];
$skills13=$_POST['checkbox13'];

Is there an easier way to declare these using loops?

I've got loops elsewhere that work, but I don't know if the variable names (i.e. $skills12, $skills13) are modifiable.

[bradgrafelman]

Give the HTML form entities names that end in '[]' like:

<input type="checkbox" name="foo[]" value="option 1"> Option 1
<input type="checkbox" name="foo[]" value="option 2"> Option 2
<input type="checkbox" name="foo[]" value="option 3"> Option 3

That way, $_POST['foo'] will be an [man]array[/man] of all selected options if one or more checkboxes are checked; otherwise, it won't exist (so you'll want to use [man]isset/man or [man]empty/man to check first).

Thanks for the direction, but that doesn't quite fit my needs.

I'm trying to build the series

$_POST['checkbox1']
$_POST['checkbox2']
$_POST['checkbox3']
$_POST['checkbox4']

Is there a way to do it using content within loops like this?

$resultvar="checkbox".$num."";
$skills=$_POST['$resultvar'];

Would using variable variables help?

Solved it.

$skills=$_POST["checkbox".$num];
