Retrieving the multiple values set by a form

[Girish]

Hi Everyone,

I am passing a form to a php script for further processing.
I am able to retrieve the last value set for that given form variable
using
$variable=$_REQ UEST['form_variable'];
My question is, what is the Php way of retrieving all the values passed
for the same form variable?

For example, if the php script is called with a syntax like

http://xxxx/get_variables.php?form_v...iable=variable
, how do I iterate through all the values that form_variable has been
set to?

Thanks and regards,
Girish

First of all, it should be $myArray[0], not $myArray['0']. It has a
numeric index. And the fact count($myArray) has the correct value
indicates the values are correct.

Hi Jerry, I had tried both $myArray[0], not $myArray['0'], behaviour
was the same in both cases.

Also, the way you have it coded, if the 'second value' checkbox is not
checked, myValue[1] will not be set and you'll get a notice if you try
to use it. Unless you absolutely have to have the indexes like that, a
better way is to use:

<input name='inp[]' type='checkbox' value='first value'>
<input name='inp[]' type='checkbox' value='second value'>
<input name='inp[]' type='checkbox' value='third value'>

Now inp[0] will contain the value from the first checked box, imp[1]
will contain the value from the second checked box, etc.

Ah. gracias. This probably would have worked. The reason I was using
POST was just that GET is easier to debug AND to save as a link to the
report page.

thanks everyone!
