Passing Multiple Check Box Variables

Anon

I have a basic form and I`m passing all the variables. When I try to pass multiple check box variables I only get one of them.

Heres the basics:
<input type="checkbox" name="month" value="jan">

and on the next page..

Thanks in advance

Try
<input type="checkbox" name="month[]" value="jan">
<input type="checkbox" name="month[]" value="feb">
<input type="checkbox" name="month[]" value="mar">

and on the next page..

<?
foreach($month as $months) {
?>
<input type="hidden" name="month[]" value="<?=$months?>">
<?
}
?>

Thanks ... That worked for one page but when I tried to echo the variables or pass them again I got array errors...

Heres the hidden value:
and it did pass the values correctly

<input type="hidden" name="months[]" value="jun"> and so on

Now if I wanted to do this:

<? echo "$months" ?> it doesnt work...
I tried with the [] and with the prior name before the "foreach($month as $months)" statement.

Any Ideas? Thanks in advance

I've just developed a function to do just what you need.

in your form do this

etc.....

Then on the next page include this function:

function getcheckboxes ($checkbox)
{
foreach($checkbox as $value) {
$values .= "," . $value;
}
$values = substr($values, 1);
return($values);
}

Now to get the values of the ticked check boxes all you have to do is call the function with the appropriate argument....in this case $month.

$result = getcheckboxes($delete);

$result will now conatin the string "jan,feb,mar" or sumthin different depending on which boxes were ticked.
