Check boxex checked

Dear all,

I have check boxes

like:

     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Saturday" /><br/>
     Satur
     
     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Sunday" /><br/>
     Sun
     
     
     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Monday" /><br/>
     Mon
     
     
     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Tuesday" /><br/>
     Tues
     
     
     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Wednesday" /><br/>
     Wednes
     
     
     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Thursday" /><br/>
     Thurs
     
     
     <input type="checkbox" name="day" value="Friday" /><br/>
    Fri

PHP:

I want to get all check boxes to be used in next page using POST method... How can I do that?

Thank You in advance

 

<?php
//Get the value of day.
$day = $_POST['day'];
?>

PHP:

<?php
//check if day is Sunday...
if($_POST['day']=="Sunday"){
//proceed...
}
?>

PHP:

<?php
//check if day is selected...
if($_POST['day']=="on"){
//proceed...
}
?>

PHP:

 

If I remember correctly you need to treat the POSTed variable as an array. But in order to do that you first need to change the name of the checkboxes to "day[]":

<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Saturday" /><br/>
     Satur    
<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Sunday" /><br/>
     Sun    
<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Monday" /><br/>
     Mon
<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Tuesday" /><br/>
     Tues
<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Wednesday" /><br/>
     Wednes
<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Thursday" /><br/>
     Thurs
<input type="checkbox" name="day[]" value="Friday" /><br/>
    Fri

HTML:

The PHP code:

<?PHP

// Get POSTed array
$day = $_POST['day'];

////////////////////////
// EXAMPLE USAGE //
////////////////////////

// If at least one element is present in the array
if (count($day) > 0){

  // For each element
  foreach ($day AS $dayName){

    // Print it out
    print "$dayName Checked!<br>";
  }
} 
// Else notify the user that no elements were selected
else {
  print "No days were checked!";
}
?>

PHP:

Just remember to validate values for stuff like this if you're using a DB to prevent SQL injection etc...

EDIT: I've attached the above script in a PHP file for you so you can see it in action. I didn't bother wasting time to format it etc... but it'll give you the gist of it.
