Checkbox Array Not Working?

[ScottCybak]

My form expert looks as such:

<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;my_array[]&quot; value=&quot;1&quot; checked /> Introduction<br />
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;my_array[]&quot; value=&quot;2&quot; checked /> Newest Member<br />

Now, my form handler doesn't work.. it keeps giving me errors... it's quite simple really.

if (is_array($my_array)) {
echo &quot;It's an array&quot;;
} else {
echo &quot;It's NOT an array - WTF&quot;;
}

There are options selected.. and i have no clue why it's not registering as it should. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to why it's not behaving as it should? Scott Cybak

dunno, you can use print_r($my_array) to view its keys and values tho... ***************************************

change $my_array by $_POST['my_array'] or $_GET['my_array'] (if you use post or get in the form method). Anikin

Values only get set when they are switched on, they get omitted otherwise.

<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;my_array[1]&quot; value=&quot;on&quot; checked /> Introduction<br />
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;my_array[2]&quot; value=&quot;on&quot; checked /> Newest Member<br />

if (my_array[$value]==&quot;on&quot then the checkbox was activated.
also may want to use my_array[introduction] instead of numbers if you are checking them individually and not in a loop.
