Sudhakar, checkboxes and radio buttons should be handled as an array in PHP (because they can hold multiple items). You must ensure the 'name' has square brackets, like this :- <input type="checkbox" name="items[]" value="foo" /> <input type="checkbox" name="items[]" value="bar" /> <input type="checkbox" name="items[]" value="baz" /> This way your $_POST["items"] variable will return as an array containing all and only the checkboxes that were clicked on.
