The variable   POST is automatically populated    Try var dump   POST   to see the contents   You can access individual values like this  echo   POST  name     This  of course  assumes your form is using the typical form encoding  i e  enctype    multipart form-data     If your post data is in another format  e g  JSON or XML  you can do something like this    post   file get contents  php   input      and  post will contain the raw data    Assuming you re using the standard   POST variable  you can test if a checkbox is checked like this   if isset   POST  myCheckbox     amp  amp    POST  myCheckbox       Yes                  If you have an array of checkboxes  e g     lt form action  myscript php  method  post  gt     lt input type  checkbox  name  myCheckbox    value  A    gt val1 lt br   gt     lt input type  checkbox  name  myCheckbox    value  B    gt val2 lt br   gt     lt input type  checkbox  name  myCheckbox    value  C    gt val3 lt br   gt     lt input type  checkbox  name  myCheckbox    value  D    gt val4 lt br   gt     lt input type  checkbox  name  myCheckbox    value  E    gt val5    lt input type  submit  name  Submit  value  Submit    gt   lt  form gt    Using     in the checkbox name indicates that the selected values will be accessed by PHP script as an array  In this case   POST  myCheckbox   won t return a single string but will return an array consisting of all the values of the checkboxes that were checked   For instance  if I checked all the boxes    POST  myCheckbox   would be an array consisting of   A  B  C  D  E   Here s an example of how to retrieve the array of values and display them      myboxes     POST  myCheckbox      if empty  myboxes           echo  You didn t select any boxes           else          i   count  myboxes       echo  You selected  i box es    lt br gt         for  j   0   j  lt   i   j                echo  myboxes  j      lt br gt

It is deprecated and not wished to access superglobals directly  since php 5 5 i think    Every modern IDE will tell you      Do not Access Superglobals directly  Use some filter functions  e g  filter input    For our solution  to get all request parameter  we have to use the method filter input array  To get all params from a input method use this    myGetArgs   filter input array INPUT GET    myPostArgs   filter input array INPUT POST    myServerArgs   filter input array INPUT SERVER    myCookieArgs   filter input array INPUT COOKIE         Now you can use it in var dump or your foreach-Loops  What not works is to access the   REQUEST Superglobal with this method  It Allways returns NULL and that is correct   If you need to get all Input params  comming over different methods  just merge them like in the following method   function askForPostAndGetParams        return array merge            filter input array INPUT POST            filter input array INPUT GET              Edit  extended Version of this method  works also when one of the request methods are not set    function askForRequestedArguments         getArray     tmp   filter input array INPUT GET      tmp   Array         postArray     tmp   filter input array INPUT POST      tmp   Array         allRequests   array merge  getArray   postArray       return  allRequests
