retrieving multiple checkbox values

[riffy]

hey guys,

I have a form that has 5 checkboxes each with the same name but different values. The users can click on multiple checkboxes. Those values are inserted into a table in a database however they are entered as separate fields. I want to know whether there's a script to get the checkbox values and separate them using commas so that they can all be inserted into the same column.

thanks,
arif

foreach ($HTTP_GET_VARS["NAME_OF_YOUR_CHECKBOXES"] as $value)

{
print "selected: $value";

print &quot;<br>&quot;;

thanks karver but will that separate the checked values by commas or put them on separate lines?

and the query to insert into the database would be something like this???

foreach ($HTTP_GET_VARS["vol"] as $value) {
  print "selected: $value";
  print &quot;<br>&quot;;
  $sql=&quot;insert into skills (id, vol) values (NULL, '$value')&quot;;
  $result =  mysql_query ($sql);
}

the values some through as an array...

just implode the array

$myboxes = implode($myCheckboxName,&quot;,&quot;

I actually put some if then statements around it to avoid imploding if there is only 1 active box for my application.

switch the params orders.

implode first param is the separator, and the second is the array.
