复选框数组不发送值

Question

I have been stuck on something simple and I just can't find what is the problem. Sometimes it's good to have a outside look on it.

So I have this 4 checkboxes.

 <input id="inp_fjob"  <?=(isset($job) && $job=="catA") ? 'checked' : '' ?> onclick="disCheck('inp_fjob','inp_ojob','inp_ajob','');" required="" type="checkbox" name="only_job[]" data-parsley-maxcheck="1" value="catA" />
 <input id="inp_ojob" <?=(isset($job) && $job=="catB") ? 'checked' : '' ?> onclick="disCheck('inp_ojob','inp_fjob','inp_ajob','');" type="checkbox" name="only_job[]" value="catB">
 <input id="inp_ajob" <?=(isset($job) && $job=="catC") ? 'checked' : '' ?>  onclick="disCheck('inp_ajob','inp_ojob','inp_fjob','');" type="checkbox" name="only_job[]" value="catC" >
 <input id="inp_ljob" <?=(isset($job) && $job=="catD") ? 'checked' : '' ?>   type="checkbox" name="only_job[]" value="catD" />

In the PHP I do this check but it always end up in the else state.

$chArray = isset($_POST['only_job']) ? $_POST['only_job'] : array();

foreach ($chArray as $cBox){
    if ($cBox == "catA"){
        $job = "This is my first job since last 6 April and I have not been receiving taxable Jobseeker's Allowance of taxable Incapacity Benefit or a state of occupational pension.";
        $nicategory = "A";
    }
    if ($cBox == "catB"){
        $job = "This is now my only job, but since last 6 April I have had another job, or have receved taxable Jobseeker's Allowance or Incapacity Benefit. I do not receive a state or occupational pension.";
        $nicategory = "B";
    }
    if ($cBox == "catC"){
        $job = "I have another job or receive a state or occupational pension.";
        $nicategory = "C";
    }
    if ($cBox == "catD"){
        $job = "If you left a course of Higher Education before last 6 April and received your first Student Loan instalment on or after 1 September 1998 and you have not fully repaid your student loan, tick this:";
        $nicategory = "D";
    } else {
        $job = "nope.";
        $nicategory = "nope.";
    }
}

When I fill out the form and submit it, I print the $_POST and get:

[only_job] => Array ( [0] => catB ) - which is is the correct checked checkbox. Respectively, catA when the first one is checked and etc.

I have been staring at it but just cant find the answer. Suggestions?

Your conditions are not proper. Either you should turn all if and else block into if-elseif-else block or you should use switch case like this:

$chArray = isset($_POST['only_job']) ? $_POST['only_job'] : array();

foreach ($chArray as $cBox){
    if ($cBox == "catA"){
        $job = "This is my first job since last 6 April and I have not been receiving taxable Jobseeker's Allowance of taxable Incapacity Benefit or a state of occupational pension.";
        $nicategory = "A";
    } elseif ($cBox == "catB"){
        $job = "This is now my only job, but since last 6 April I have had another job, or have receved taxable Jobseeker's Allowance or Incapacity Benefit. I do not receive a state or occupational pension.";
        $nicategory = "B";
    } elseif ($cBox == "catC"){
        $job = "I have another job or receive a state or occupational pension.";
        $nicategory = "C";
    } elseif ($cBox == "catD"){
        $job = "If you left a course of Higher Education before last 6 April and received your first Student Loan instalment on or after 1 September 1998 and you have not fully repaid your student loan, tick this:";
        $nicategory = "D";
    } else {
        $job = "nope.";
        $nicategory = "nope.";
    }
}

OR

foreach ($chArray as $cBox){
    switch($cBox){
        case "catA": 
            $job = "This is my first job since last 6 April and I have not been receiving taxable Jobseeker's Allowance of taxable Incapacity Benefit or a state of occupational pension.";
            $nicategory = "A";
            break;
        case "catB":
            $job = "This is now my only job, but since last 6 April I have had another job, or have receved taxable Jobseeker's Allowance or Incapacity Benefit. I do not receive a state or occupational pension.";
            $nicategory = "B";
            break;
        case "catC":
            $job = "I have another job or receive a state or occupational pension.";
            $nicategory = "C";
            break;
        case "catD":
            $job = "If you left a course of Higher Education before last 6 April and received your first Student Loan instalment on or after 1 September 1998 and you have not fully repaid your student loan, tick this:";
            $nicategory = "D";
            break;
        default:
            $job = "nope.";
            $nicategory = "nope.";
            break;
    }
}
