Okay, so basically, I have a whole heap of checkboxes. The name/id for each checkbox is just a random number.
I have them set up in a form, which submits the data to a PHP file.
In the PHP file, I need it to take the data from every single checkbox and do something with it… So I need some kind of loop like this:
Code:
// let ‘$checkboxnumber’ be the name/id of the each checkbox
// and ‘$checkboxvalue’ be the value of each one
LOOP:
echo “$checkboxnumber - $checkboxvalue”
Haha… ok… very primitive… But I basically need a loop to go through every single checkbox sent to the PHP page (via POST) and do stuff to it (in this example, just ECHO. but i’ll be entering them into a MySQL DB).
HELP??
