Multiple checkbox values in php

Question

I have the following code

<form id="myForm" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

     <label for="name">Name</label><br>
     <input type="text" name="name"></input><br>
     <input type="file" size="60" name="myfile"><br>
     Type 1:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value"type1" /><br>
     Type 2:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value"type2" /><br>
     Type 3:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value"type3" /><br>
     <input type="submit" value="Submit">
 </form>

foreach($_POST["product"] as $value)
            {
                echo $value ;

            }

it should return the values user have selected. But it gives only 'on' as output.

Please post more of your code. Also note that your value"type1" is not correctly typed. It should be value="type1" — karlingen

Set the name in the form to check_list[] and you will be able to access all the checkboxes as an array($_POST['check_list'][]).

An example code:

    <form id="myForm" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type 1">
    <input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type 2">
    <input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type 3">
    <input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type 4">
    <input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type 5">
    <input type="submit" />
    </form>
    <?php
    if(!empty($_POST['product'])) {
      foreach($_POST['product'] as $check) 
      {
            echo $check; 
      }
    }
    ?>

It must be value="type1" not value"type1". Try this

     <label for="name">Name</label><br>
     <input type="text" name="name"></input><br>
     <input type="file" size="60" name="myfile"><br>
     Type 1:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type1" /><br>
     Type 2:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type2" /><br>
     Type 3:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type3" /><br>
     <input type="submit" value="Submit">
 </form>
<?php

foreach($_POST["product"] as $value)
            {
                echo $value ;

            }

?>

First you forgot the = after value

Remodifying your script becomes this

<form id="myForm" action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

     <label for="name">Name</label><br>
     <input type="text" name="name"></input><br>
     <input type="file" size="60" name="myfile"><br>
     Type 1:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type1" /><br>
     Type 2:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type2" /><br>
     Type 3:<input type="checkbox" name="product[]" value="type3" /><br>
     <input type="submit" value="Submit">
 </form>


$check = $_POST["product"]

foreach($check as $value)
            {
                echo $value ;

            }
