<script>
function select(a) {
    var theForm = document.myForm;
    for (i=0; i<theForm.elements.length; i++) {
        if (theForm.elements[i].name=='mycheckbox[]')
            theForm.elements[i].checked = a;
    }
}
</script>

<form name="myForm" method="POST">
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]" value="Red">Red<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]" value="Blue">Blue<br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="mycheckbox[]" value="Green">Green<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1">
</form>

<a href="javascript:select(1)">Check all</a> |
<a href="javascript:select(0)">Uncheck all</a>









Using PHP to receive the checkbox values
we can receive the submitted values in second page and complete the processes, but now I will only print out the values I have select from the first page, and I will use a simple PHP code.

<?php
print_r($mycheckbox);
?>


so the result will be an array of two values.
Array ( [0] => Blue [1] => Green )
first array value [0] => Blue
second array value [1] => Green

I will make some simple process to add some colors to the result in the second file.

<?php
for ($i=0; $i<count($mycheckbox);$i++){
 if ($mycheckbox[$i]=="Red") $font="<b><font color='#FF0000'>";
 if ($mycheckbox[$i]=="Blue") $font="<b><font color='#0000FF'>";
 if ($mycheckbox[$i]=="Green") $font="<b><font color='#008000'>";

echo $font."$mycheckbox[$i]</font></b><br>";
}
?>


the result will be like this
Red
Green
