Checkbox Counter

miches

Hello Guys,
I am trying to output the number of checkboxes returned by my array $selected. But unfortunately it won't output the value in my count(array). I really need help on this as I want to know how many successful checkboxes were retrieved.

Here's my sample code 🙂

<?
echo "";

	echo "<body>";

       	echo count($selected);
	   	echo $selected[1];
	   	echo $selected[2];
       	echo count($selected);

	  	echo '<form method="post" action="checks.php">';
		echo '<input type="checkbox"  name="selected[]" value="shoes">Shoes<br>';
		echo '<input type="checkbox"  name="selected[]" value="sandals">Sandals<br>';
		echo '<input type="checkbox"  name="selected[]" value="socks">Socks<br>';
        echo '<input type="submit" name="act" value="submit">';
	    echo '</form>';

	echo "</body>";
echo "";

Suggestions are highly regarded.. 🙂
as well as other better algo 🙂

Thanks,
Miches🙂

this should work:

<?
if($submit){
echo(count($selected));
}
?>

<form method="post" action="<? echo($PHP_SELF); ?>">
<input type="checkbox" name="selected[]" value="shoes">Shoes<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="selected[]" value="sandals">Sandals<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="selected[]" value="socks">Socks<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
