PHP POST multiple data inside one checkbox

i have following part of code: <input id="add" class="add" data-amount="150" data-monthly="25" type="checkbox" name="accessory[]" value="Accessory Name"/> wondering if there any way to post all data in "value", "data-amount" and "data-monthly" together to another script?

To get all those values in the checkbox, you can concatenate them together separated by some delimiter and then split the value when processing the form.

<input type="checkbox" name="accessory[]" value="Accessory Name*150*25"/>

This is not an elegant solution. It does what you ask, but you should strongly consider Sohnee's answer as a better method of doing what you want to do.

If you are writing the value of those attributes onto the page server side, you are better off working off of a key and retrieving the values again server side based on the key. The HTML could be altered resulting in non-trustworthy data being send back.

For example...

<input id="add" class="add" data-amount="150" data-monthly="25" type="checkbox" name="accessory[]" value="1"/>

Where 1 is the id of the data that contains the amount and monthly data.

No there is not, however you can put all the attributes you need in hidden fields which are passed with form.

Data attributes are not submitted with form data.
