saving multiple checkbox to database in PHP

Question

i am having problem in printing the values of the different checkbox with the same name & different values..

PHP

//$infect_type=array();
$infect_type = isset($_POST['infect_type']) ? $_POST['infect_type'] : null;

$values= implode(",",$infect_type);
print_r($values);

HTML

<input type="checkbox" name="infect_type" value="Blood Born" /> 
<input type="checkbox" name="infect_type" value="Air Born" />

i can only get the value which is selected last before submitting.

Use array notation for checkboxes names:

<input type="checkbox" name="infect_type[]" value="Blood Born" /> 
<input type="checkbox" name="infect_type[]" value="Air Born" />

In this case $_POST['infect_type'] is going to be an array of checked values.

HTML

<input type="checkbox" name="infect_type[]" value="Blood Born" /> 
<input type="checkbox" name="infect_type[]" value="Air Born" />

PHP

<?php
        $infect_type = $_POST['infect_type'];
        foreach ($infect_type as $i) {
                echo $i;
                //Change the code here
        }
?>

This will do.
