if you use name as name=check[] , the value will be stored as $_POST['value'][0]...and it will append each entry as many checkbox will be there,in second dimension of the array. wherenever in doubt you can use echo '<pre>' . print_r($_POST),true) . '</pre>'; to see how your data is there.

http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=44350 check this for basic debug technuiqe and also you should enable "error_reporting" to E_ALL|E_STRICT and "display_error" to true , either in your php.ini or using ini_set() . it will help you to debug. http://php.net/ini_set

fom a previus post .. im also lost kinldy give me the correct coding .. basically i have multible check boxes and only want the selected ones to send to email everything ells works
i can not give you the coding, that would be doing it for you, what i can do is say what you need to do. for each checkbox, the names need to be different, and for $_Post['']; needs to be the name of the checkbox, like i said above if you go back to the first reply i made it give you a full description. you have $_post['value'] that should not be there since non of your checkbox names is value
<input type="checkbox" [color=#ff0000]name="series" [/color]value="blue"></td>

since the above html form field have a name as series then in your php code it should have a variable that equal to $_post['series']; like this.my html code

 <input type="checkbox" [color=#ff0000]name="series" [/color]value="blue"></td>

my php code

<?php$var = $_POST['series'];?>

note that my variable is $var and my post name is series which matches up with my checkbox name

<input type="checkbox" name="series[]" value="foo ” /><input type="checkbox" name="series[]" value="bar ” /><input type="checkbox" name="series[]" value="baf ” /> if you use post the data will be available in $_POST['series'][0]='foo' $_POST['series'][1]='bar' etc what [] mean is its adds a new index every time it executes and $_POST,$_GET are not functions it is super global array.

ok i have done this in html
<td><input type="checkbox" name="series" id="series[]" value="blue"  /> </td><td><input type="checkbox" name="series" id="series[]" value="red"  /> </td> 

in my submit.php on top

 $var = $_POST['series'];  foreach($_POST['check'] as $value) {$check_msg .= "Checked: $value\n";}

in my submit.php below

 $msg='Name:	'.$_POST['name'].'<br />Email:	'.$_POST['email'].'<br />IP:	'.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'<br /><br />Series Selected : '.$_POST['series'].'<br />		   Message:<br /><br /> 

only one clour shows when i select 2

Series Selected : '.$_POST['series'].'<br />
you can do it like this if you want to see all the selected checkbox dataecho 'Selected series:' . implode(',',$_POST['series']); $_POST['series'] is array itself which holds other checkbox data.It is a two dimensional array. you can read about it here and how does it work http://php.net/language.type.array http://php.net/implode
