How to read multiple checkboxes ?

[pavan52]

I have 1 form in with multiple checkboxes in it (each with the code):

<input type="checkbox" value="$cat_tit['category_title']" name="check_list[]" id="cat_title" />

How would I be able to tell which checkboxes have been checked? (Maybe multiple)

(In context:) Its for an inbox system and I have a button below that I want (when clicked) to save all values into the database which have the checkbox's checked...

How would I do this?

Thanks alot...

if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
	for($i=0;$i<=count($_POST['check_list']);$i++)
	{
        echo $_POST['check_list'][$i];
        }
}

Hey thanks Ammu For ur rply m trying to print it like this

<?php

if(!empty($_POST['check_list']))
{
    foreach($_POST['check_list'] as $checkbox )
    {
    	echo $checkbox;        
    }
}
?>

But here if I select 5 checkboxes then its printing like this instead of printing the titles....

$cat_tit['category_title ']$cat_tit['category_title ']$cat_tit['category_title ']$cat_tit['category_title ']$cat_tit['category_title ']


Here is the full code ......

<?php 
	$con=mysql_connect($host,$username,$password);
	$qr2=mysql_select_db($db);?>
	<form id="form" action="#" method="post"> 
	
	<?php $category_id = 1;
	while($category_id <= 30)
	{
	$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM category_tbl where category_id = $category_id ");
	$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
	echo '<div id="main">';
	echo '<div class="content">';
	echo '<div class="title">';
	echo $row['category'];
	echo '</div>';
	echo '<div class="image"><button onclick="toggle5(showDiv'.$category_id.')" ><strong>Expand</strong></button>';
	echo '</div>';
	echo '<div id="showDiv'.$category_id.'" style="display:block">';
	
		$cat_title = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM category_title_tbl WHERE category_id = '$category_id'") or die (mysql_error()); 
            while ($cat_tit=mysql_fetch_array($cat_title))
			{?>    
		         
             <input type="checkbox" value="$cat_tit['category_title']" name="check_list[]" id="cat_title" />
             <?php echo $cat_tit['category_title'];
			 echo '<br />';
            
			}   
	echo '</div>';
	echo '</div>';
	echo '</div>';
	$category_id = $category_id + 1;
	}?>
	<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit" id="submit" />
	</form>
<?php

if(!empty($_POST['check_list']))
{
    foreach($_POST['check_list'] as $checkbox )
    {
    	echo $checkbox;        
    }
}
?>

In your PHP code on line 24, it's not within PHP tags. But also, if you want to expand an array variable in a string, you need to remove the single quotes.

<input type="checkbox" value="<?=$cat_tit['category_title']?>" name="check_list[]" id="cat_title" />
