parsing checkboxes

[Garabaldi]

Folks,

I've been reading the posts here about parsing froms with fields which have multiple values. The standard reply has been to include a [] after the form field name.

Example:
<form method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;posted.php&quot;>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;System[]&quot; value=&quot;One&quot;>
<input type=&quot;checkbox&quot; name=&quot;System[] value=&quot;Two&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot;>
</form>

then on the page where i am calling System i have
<%
$System = $_POST['System']

echo $System&quot;<br>&quot;
%>

All I get is the word Array.

If anyone can tell me where I've fudged up on it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Array variables need to be printed recursively since there might be multiple values.

For just a printout of the array use

print_r($_POST[System]);

Another tip:
The browser output of print_r is not pretty, since the &quot;\n&quot; linebreaks are not honored. Look at the HTML source of the page and you'll see a better rendering.

This will not help you in terms of presentation. If you want to display all the elements use a loop that iterates the array:

foreach($_POST[System] as $key=>$value){
   # any formatting in here
   print "Value $key: $value";
}
