Yes it does. It's unfortunate that PHP treats it this way. It makes using
dynamic checkbox inputs a lot more difficult than it should be. ColdFusion
and, I believe, ASP make a comma delimited list. But I did find a little
snippet which allows me to cheat the need for a key in the input tag. If
just add [] to the name, I can use this to create my delimited list.
foreach($whynot as $key => $value)
{$whynotlist .= $value.",";}

Subject: Re: [PHP] How to handle multiple value checkboxes
You have to name them different.
<input type="checkbox" name="frisbee" value="toss">
and
<input type="checkbox" name="frisbee" value="dropped">
There will be now way to tell if the user checked both. You could
do this:
<input type="checkbox" name="frisbee[toss]" value="Y">
<input type="checkbox" name="frisbee[dropped]" value="Y">
This will allow you to group everything in a hash so you could get the
values like this: $_POST['frisbee']['toss'] or
$_POST['frisbee']['dropped']
That makes sense, right?
