So i a html form consisting of about 50 checkboxes. It then POSTS to the php page that should count how many boxes were checked.

However i am unsure of how one would go about counting all the checked boxes. Any help??


thanks

If I remember correctly, the easy way to do this is to give the check boxes names that will cause them to form an array when POSTed (i.e. 'boxes[box1]').
Then in the PHP, you can just do

PHP Code:

$checked = count($_POST['boxes']); 


Hope this helps.
