Separated Checkboxes not Aggregating

I have a variable number (initially 8) checkboxes that all share the same name attribute with different values. However they are separated by many DOM elements.

For example:

<table>
    <tr>
         <td><input type='checkbox' name='site-1-local' value='1' checked></td>
    </tr>
</table>
.
.
.
<table>
    <tr>
         <td><input type='checkbox' name='site-1-local' value='8' checked></td>
    </tr>
</table>

Normally I would expect my php script to aggregate the common name and have something like $_POST['site-1-local'] = array('1', ... '8'). However when I go to assert the values server side using print_r() its only showing 8 (the last value in the DOM with this name) in the $_POST['site-1-local'] array.

I'm guessing that the non-aggregation has something to do with the checkboxes not being side-by-side? However, I haven't been able to find anything on this subject.

Try `site-1-local[]` for both. – imtheman Sep 14 '15 at 19:17
@imtheman I'm using `print_r()` on the server side so it's not an issue of how I'm printing it – asdf Sep 14 '15 at 19:19
How are the values passed to post? Is it a form submit or an AJAX call? – allicarn Sep 14 '15 at 19:20
@allicarn Form submit with type `POST` – asdf Sep 14 '15 at 19:21
@asdf You misunderstood me. You need to use `name='site-1-local[]'` in your html. Take a look at @Berriel's link. – imtheman Sep 14 '15 at 19:29
