Handeling checkboxes with same name?

Can I post checkbox values as an array?

[Twixly]

Hello!

Just wondering if there´s any way to post a number of checkboxes values as an array?

i.e

while ($customer = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH))
{
echo "<INPUT TYPE='CHECKBOX' NAME='ALTERTHIS' VALUE='".$customer[0]."'><BR>";
}

Will create a list of checkboxes with same NAME, but different VALUES that it gets from database. Problem is it seems to reset the VALUE of NAME in each loop, instead of creating an ARRAY of "ALTERTHIS" values that I need to access..

I could give each checkbox an uniqe name, but I never know which ones will be set or what values to alter in the database in next page..

Hope you understand what I mean?

while ($customer = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)) 
{ 
echo "<INPUT TYPE='CHECKBOX' NAME='checkboxname[]' VALUE='".$customer[0]."'><BR>"; 
}

will add 'values' to array checkboxname[], then just treat it like an array to get the data out on the submission page.

Use a ( counter ) growing variable like $customer[$i]
increment $i then.

Nah that didnt work.. here´s the whole actuall code, maybe I´ve missed something else.

echo "<FORM METHOD='POST' ACTION='submitted.php'>";
while ($kunder = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH)) {
echo "<TR ALIGN='CENTER' BGCOLOR='black'>";
echo "<TD BGCOLOR='BLACK'>";
echo $kunder[1];
echo "</TD>";
echo "<TD BGCOLOR='#B0C4DE' WIDTH='70%'>";
echo "<A HREF='index.php?page=se_kund&kundid=".$kunder[0]."'>",$kunder[2],"</A>";
echo "</TD><TD>";
echo $kunder[3];
echo "</TD><TD>";
echo $kunder[13];
echo "</TD>";

echo "<TD>";
echo "<INPUT TYPE='CHECKBOX' NAME='alter[]' VALUE='".$kunder[0]."'>";
echo "</TD></TR>";

}
echo "<INPUT TYPE='SUBMIT' VALUE='OK'></FORM>";
