insert checkbox group into database.

ref.

You need to define the variable as array

<label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="CheckboxGroup1[]" value="checkbox" id="CheckboxGroup1_0" />
      Checkbox</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="CheckboxGroup1[]" value="checkbox" id="CheckboxGroup1_1" />
      Checkbox</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="CheckboxGroup1[]" value="checkbox" id="CheckboxGroup1_2" />
      Checkbox</label>
    <br />
  </p>
  <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" />

Thanks, but still not sure.

If I want to post the result of the say the second check box how would I do it?

Sorry just to be clear...

How would I get the post the result of this checkbox id="CheckboxGroup1_1"

it will be posted as array... you have to take the value of  array [1]
something like that ..

something like this,

<form action="test9.php" method="post">
<label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="CheckboxGroup1[]" value="1"  />
      Checkbox</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="CheckboxGroup1[]" value="2" />
      Checkbox</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="CheckboxGroup1[]" value="3" />
      Checkbox</label>
    <p>
      <label>
      <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
      </label>
    </p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p><br />
      </p>
      <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1" />
            </p>
</form>

<?php
$box=$_POST['CheckboxGroup1'];

while (list ($key,$val) = @each ($box)) { 
echo "$val,"; 
} 
?>

Still struggling. I will explain the issue in more details in my next post.

See lines 5 to 20. This is javascript to selects the checkboxes within the related group.

My checkbox which gets repeated for each row is on line 53.

The name is the script need to be the same as the checkbox name to work.

On line 69 I have a command that says if the checkbox is selected insert into a database.

My problem is line 53 and 69 needs the checkbox name to be unique, but my javascript needs this to be the same.

i.e. <input name="checkbox_add<?php echo $row_rs_media['id']; ?>" type="checkbox" />

The above is what I require for the database insert to work correctly, but stops the javascript working.

How can I solve this problem? Thanks

You can handle this with javascript.

Ref. https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21364982/Checkbox-Array-problem.html

another simple script to apply.

<script>
function select(a) {
    var theForm = document.myForm;
    for (i=0; i<theForm.elements.length; i++) {
        if (theForm.elements[i].name=='mycheckbox[]')
            theForm.elements[i].checked = a;
    }
}
</script>

<form name="myForm">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]" value="somevalue1" /><br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]" value="somevalue2" /><br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]" value="somevalue3" />
</form>

<a href="javascript:select(1)">Check all</a> |
<a href="javascript:select(0)">Uncheck all</a>

Thanks, but that selects all the checkboxes not just the ones in the relevant group?

Thanks for your help, but I have solved the issue using javascript: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26405901/javascript-starts-with.html?anchorAnswerId=33482959#a33482959
