add all checkbox values to array

Question

My html code :

<form method="post">
    <input id="user1" value="user1"  name="invite[]" type="checkbox">
    <input id="user2" value="user2"  name="invite[]" type="checkbox">
    <input type="submit">
</form>

PHP code is :

if(isset($_POST['invite'])){
    if (is_array($_POST['invite'])) {
        foreach($_POST['invite'] as $value){
            $list = array($value);
            $fh = print_r($list, true);
        }
    } 
}

And the print_r output is :

Array ( [0] => user1 ) 
Array ( [0] => user2 )

My required output is: Array ( [0] => user1 [1] => user2 )

I'm working from the last 36 hours and googled but no luck. What is the error in my code or is there any better way to achieve checkbox values into an array(the actual values in my code are email id"s)

Thanks in advance

What is the output of print_r($_POST['invite']); ?

$_POST['invite'] already is Array ( [0] => user1 [1] => user2 ). What you're doing is looping through it then putting the value (e.g. user1) into a new array.

if(isset($_POST['invite'])){ if (is_array($_POST['invite'])) { foreach($_POST['invite'] as $value){ $list = $_POST['invite']; output is : Array ( [0] => user1 [1] => user2 ) Array ( [0] => user1 [1] => user2 ) $fh = print_r($list, true); echo "<br/>". $fh; } } }

But still i'm getting Array ( [0] => user1 [1] => user2 ) Array ( [0] => user1 [1] => user2 )

@user2430278 I don't mind this harshly, but you need to read up on the basics of PHP. In a foreach loop, your provide your array (in this case $_POST['invite']) then you tell it what variable to hold each array indexes value in. In your case, you've said to put it into $value, so $value contains user1 and user2.
