How to use PHP to process values from multiple checkboxes

Hello,
Did some research, couldn't find what I was looking for in the PHP docs... Finally found a page that mentioned you have to use a form variable named with brackets at the end [].

Like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="myvar[]" value="123"> 123
<input type="checkbox" name="myvar[]" value="abc"> abc
<input type="checkbox" name="myvar[]" value="456"> 456

then you can get the value with:

$inArr = array();

if (isset($_POST["myvar"])){
$inArr = $_POST["myvar"];
}

That's it. Thought I'd share... hopefully someone can make use of this tip.

Cheers,
-J
