Hi Lynna, Try this instead <input type="checkbox" name="keywords[]" value="152"> Then when you get $_POST, it'll be an array.... That should fix it up =) Regards, Chris Smith Suite 30, 45-51 Huntley St, Alexandria, NSW 2015 Australia Ph: +61 2 9517 2505 Fx: +61 2 9517 1915 email: info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: www.interspire.com -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-php-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-php-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lynna Landstreet Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 10:44 AM To: pgsql-php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PHP] Question about checkboxes in forms Hi folks, I'm running into a bit of trouble processing a form I set up. When I extract the information from $_POST after submitting the form, everything comes through fine except for the one form field that uses checkboxes - only the last value checked comes through in that one. In my past experience, when using checkboxes in formmail scripts and the like, what comes through is a list of the values checked, separated by commas. Does it still work that way when capturing the form data with PHP? If so, could the commas be throwing it off? I was expecting the contents of $_POST[keywords] to be a string of keyword IDs separate by commas, which I could then explode into an array, but instead I only get the last value checked, as though each box checked replaced the previous one. The keyword checkboxes are generated from the database, but from looking at the source on the resulting web page the HTML seems to be fine. Each checkbox looks something like this: <input type="checkbox" name="keywords" value="152"> They all have the name "keywords", but that's the norm for checkboxes and radio buttons, isn't it? Usually it just groups all the values for each named group of checkboxes into one string, but not this time, apparently. Any ideas?
