Actually, you are right, as you just put the checkbox index in
the POST and get the value from there. So you just need the
number of checkboxes...sorry.
for ($i = 1; $i <= 4; $i++)
{
$a = 'a' . $i;
$b = 'whatever' . $i;
if($_POST[$a] == 'on')
{
my_array[] = $_POST[$b]
}

Either I'm missing what you're trying to do, or this has become
incredibly over complicated!

It's not over complicated, but just a method of passing checked
checkbox values to a php array. Do you have something better?

Well, this seems easier/cleaner to me:
<input type="check" name="my_checkboxes[1]" value="1" /> 1<br />
<input type="check" name="my_checkboxes[2]" value="1" /> 1<br />
<input type="check" name="my_checkboxes[3]" value="1" /> 1<br />
<input type="check" name="my_checkboxes[4]" value="1" /> 1<br />
$my_checked_checkboxes = $_REQUEST['my_checkboxes']; // whichever
you wish, $_GET or $_POST, I don't care right now; you choose.
Yeah, I remember that -- but a bit different.
Don't use indexes, but rather just my_checkboxes[]
and on the php side
$my_checked_checkboxes = $_REQUEST['my_checkboxes'];
The array $my_checked_checkboxes equals the $_REQUEST$_/$_POST/$_GET
array -- all the indexes will match (i.e., $my_checked_checkboxes[3]
is the same as $_POST[3]).
The only problem I have with that method is that the [] becomes
confusing with dealing with javascript that can also handles the form.
One of the ways to get around this is to:
<input type="checkbox" name="my_checkboxes[]" id="my_checkbox_1" value="1" >
That way php will use "name" and javascript will use "id".
But, there are lot's of ways to do this.
