Heya, manjunath1985. Welcome to TSDN!

What do you want your code to do? Give an example.
What is your code doing that you don't want it to do? Give an example.
What is your code *not* doing that it is supposed to? Give an example.

and pass the multiple username selected checkbox value to next page after i select.

Can you rephrase that so that it's more clear?

Can you rephrase that so that it's more clear?

I have retrieved some usernames as per the code in one page. but i want to put a checkbox for all usernames and pass the same to the next page through the <option value="send_smd.php"> and after clicking on "go" button.

Oh, well you're totally confused. Try starting with this code:
[html]
<form method="post" action="send_sms.php">
<input type="checkbox" name="candidateusername[]" value="dude's name"> Dude's Name<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="candidateusername[]" value="dudette's name"> Dudette's Name<br />
... repeat as much as you want
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
[/html]

Then, in send_sms.php, you can do something like this:

[php]
<?php
foreach ($_POST['candidateusername'] as $a_candidate) {
//Do something for the candidate whose name is in $a_candidate.
}
?>
[/php]

Because of how checkboxes work, only those which are checked will be in the array.

Oh, and I have no idea what you're trying with the <option> tag, but it looks wrong.

Heya, manjunath.

Checkboxes only appear in the submitted form when they are checked.

Hi,
I have created php page called sms.php which displays the username retrieved from the database through selecting checkbox.
Here is the code in sms.php:

<?php
foreach($_POST['check'] as $value) //here 'check' is the name of checkbox//
{                                                  //<input type =checkbox name=check[]
                                                               //value=<?$row['username']?>>//
$check_msg=$value;
 echo "message sent to $check_msg";
}
?>
 

this code displays the username selected from the previous page.
But i want to pass these variables to another page called demo.php from sms.php page and display the same.

Hi.

You could use Sessions to do that.
