php session with checkboxes

[shamai]

so i am making checkboxes like this.

and then on a process php page i did this:

$checkbox = $_POST;

i put $checkbox into a session variable and then i set it to $checked back on the contact page and it won’t work?

help

i echo’d $checkbox[1] an it gave me ‘array’

Why did you call this input ‘checkbox[]’? Why not ‘checkbox[Weekly Lawn Maintenance]’?

Secondly, better way of checking input is:

if (isset($checked[...]) && $checked[......])

echo 'checked="checked"';

?>

What is behind ‘$_SESSION’ ?

[shamai]

i created an array called checkbook[].
i read that thats how its usually done.

i have 9 or 10 checkboxes

after i set

$checkbox = $_POST;

i send it back via $_session which held an array if things (name,email, etc…) and one of those things was an array of checkboxes.

and even if i try

(isset($checked))

i don’t work
its always true and the checkmark is always there

$checked was avariable i was using before but i got rid of it and tried making it a bit simpler but i can’t get it work!?

ok
this is what i have on my process page after you press submit:

//form data

$name = $_POST;

$email = $_POST;

$phone = $_POST;

$checkbox = $_POST;

$message = $_POST;

later on the process page i have this to send it back. (i have never had the php send it to itself I have always had it send to a process page. i never tried doing it the other way… instead I sometimes have ajax do the whole thing and send it to and from the process page)

$returndata = array(

'posted_form_data' => array(

'name' => $name,

'email' => $email,

'phone' => $phone,

'message' => $message,

'checkbox' => $checkbox), other stuff is here not in the array );

then i send this array back using a session

$_SESSION = $returndata;

on the contact page I have $cf = $_SESSION.

so now it should be in $checkbox but when i then have this in the input of checkbox:

i check echo $cf agev back array.
and echo $cf[1] gave back an empty spot.

@shamai A checkbox is considered “checked” if it has the attribute ‘checked’ independently of the value of the attribute. that means that

is consider checked, so you should do it like this
