Passing Checkbox values in PHP?
I am trying to pass a form in PHP between pages using $_POST. I'm getting snagged up on the check boxes. I've tried a few things here's my latest attempt...
The error is... Notice: Undefined index: field_trip
Here's some code.
On the form page... <input type="checkbox" name="field_trip[]" id="field_trip[]" value="saline" />
On the next page... I've tried...
$trip = $_POST['field_trip'];
Also...
if(isset($_POST['field_trip']))
{ echo "stuff";}
Also..
if($_POST['field_trip'] != "")
{do stuff}
None of it seems to work. I've also used field_trip[] on the second page to no avail.
Help please.
to the first answer...
No... first the syntax is $_POST
Secondly as I said in my question I get an error when I try to assign $_POST['field_trip'] to a variable.

Ok, not sure if this will solve your problem, but here's my thoughts:
-Drop the id parameter in your input. If you need an id, don't use the brackets at the end.
-double check your form...make sure you're using post and all that.
All I could think of, it should work...but, the catch:
Find out what version of PHP you are using. There's a chance the error can simply be turned off or something. Check out the source links below. I've found some discussions about erorr reporting.

Page 1:
<input type="checkbox" name="field_trip[]" value="value1">Value 1
<input type="checkbox" name="field_trip[]" value="value2">Value 2
<input type="checkbox" name="field_trip[]" value="value3">Value 3
Page 2:
$field_trip = $POST['field_trip'];
foreach ($field_trip as $value) {
# work here
}
