Very simple question..... When making multiple checkboxes, you put the name the same for a few to group them together <form action="process.php" method="post"> <input type="checkbox" name="checkBoxGroup" value="first" /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkBoxGruop" value="second" /> </form>
Use a naming convention as such, and they will be sent as an array.... <input type="checkbox" name="checkBoxGroup[]" value="first" /> <input type="checkbox" name="checkBoxGruop[]" value="second" /> (square brackets after the element name)
So they are grouped.... but then submitting them I only get the last value check. <? print_r($_POST); ?> How would I get all the boxes check when "grouping" them by using the same name for all checkboxes in the name field? -Josh
