[jQuery] (validate) checkbox group minlength --> same name == only 1 value posted to php
Hi everyone,
I am running into the following issue. The validation plugin allows to
check and make sure that at least one of a group of checkboxes is
checked, but for that to work I have to call all of them the same
name. Validation works great when I do that.
Only problem is when I submit the form: If more than one box is
checked, only the last value will be available (I'm echoing the $_POST
[] array in PHP) - this is a predictable behavior from HTML forms -
normally you wouldn't call checkboxes the same name unless you want
them to behave like radiobuttons.
Is there a way to validate the group and still call the items
different names? Or a way to transform the data before submission so
it's similar to having checkboxes with different names?
Thanks
