Store Javascript values in an array

I have this javascript code:

var allVals = [];
$('#c_b :checked').each(function() {
   allVals.push($(this).val());
});
alert(allVals + "is checked!");

The code above, will list all the checked values from checkboxes like this: value,value,value

How can I, when submitting my form, store those values in a PHP array, so I can use them?

Make all your checkboxes name to 1 name.

Then PHP will have the values in an array.

Btw if you re using jquery AJAX you could use serializeArray()

You can use array's join method to get all the array values as a combined string and then pass it along with the form while submitting it as a hidden field. At the Php side you can split this string and then convert it into an array.

var strAllVals = allVals.join(',');

Name all your checkboxes "c_b[]".

The values of those that are checked will then be accessible in the target PHP script as the array $_POST['c_b'] (or $_GET['c_b']).

This is covered fairly well in the relevant manual page, and the manual's FAQ (oh, the irony!).
