How to get Multiple Values from a foreach loop generated Checkboxes

Question

I am trying to get multiple values from a foreach loop generated check boxes. Please check my codes below and give me some suggestion. Thanks.

View file

<?php foreach ($size_list as $size) { ?>
<label><input name="size_id" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $size->size_id;?>" />
<?php echo $v_size_list->size;?></label>
<?php } ?>

When i submit this form after selecting multiple checkboxes, i got only the last check box value. But i want all selected check box values. Please give me some suggestion. Thanks

use change your checkbox name into array and it contation all the checkbox value in array structure which you checked in form

name="size_id[ ]"

<?php foreach ($size_list as $size) { ?>

<label><input name="size_id[]" type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $size->size_id;?>" />
<?php echo $v_size_list->size;?></label>

and get the value by

print_r($_POST['size_id']);

My suggestion is to check this answer: Get $_POST from multiple checkboxes

So your checkboxes name have to be size_id[], and in the controller, where you check the value of the checkbox, you have to loop this with a foreach.

public function posted()
{
    $checkboxes = $this->input->post("size_id");
    foreach($checkboxes as $checkbox)
    {
        // in this loop you can check the value of the selected checkbox
    }
}
