POST will send all values if you mark them as selected using javascript right before submitting. $_POST["check"] is an array. use a foreach and get all values from that array.

I can't figure out a way around that one. But there is an alternative:

<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="php" />PHP
<input type="hidden" name="checklist" value="php" />

<input type="checkbox" name="check" value="MySQL" />MySQL
<input type="hidden" name="checklist" value="MySQL" />

The idea is to store the list of all the values of a checkbox/radio button, in a hidden input so that you get the list of those values server-side, when the form is submitted.

BTW, why do you need it anyway?

As you're loop through post data which is going to be an array I believe that is why only one of their elements are being returned.

You might want to try something like this:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $val) {
    if ($key == "check" || $key == "gen") { // If this is an array post field
        foreach ($val as $val2) { // We need to loop through again since they're array post fields
            $actVal .= "'" . strtolower($val2) . "'";
        }   
    } else {
        $actVal .= "'".strtolower($key)."|".strtolower($val)."',";
    }
    //$sqlin .= " ".strtolower($key)." VARCHAR(255) , "; // Worry about this separately, should be the same process
}
