Question

HTML/PHP
How do I handle multiple checkboxes in each row of a table?
I have 10 of them in each row. I made a for loop from $i=0 to 9 to have 10 of those in each row basically. I gave the values of those checkboxes ranging from 1 to 10. As for the name of the checkbox for each value, I wrote a name following by "[$i]" as suggested in some forums. But when I do echo $_POST[name[$i]] to get the values of those checkboxes that already have been checked, I get nothing. What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

Example would be,
<input type="checkbox" name="animal" value="Cat" />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal" value="Dog" />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal" value="Bear" />
If you hit Submit, code should look similar to this.
if(isset($_POST['submit']) {
echo $_POST['animal'];
}
If I had your code, it be a lot easier to explain for your example.

This is how I would have done when I first started, but you are missing the following code.

<input type="checkbox" name="animal[]" value="Cat" />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal[]" value="Dog" />
<input type="checkbox" name="animal[]" value="Bear" />

Then hit sumbit with the following php code.
if(isset($_POST['animal'])){
foreach($_POST['animal'] as $animal){
echo $animal;
}
}

You have to set it up like arrays
