Sending an array from a form

Question

use the [] symbol in the name of the form field you are submitting like:

input type=checkbox name=whatever[] value=1

input type=checkbox name=whatever[] value=2

input type=checkbox name=whatever[] value=3

input type=checkbox name=whatever[] value=4

In PHP when you post, this will come in as

$whatever = array("1", "2", "3", "4");

and you can access them like:

$whatever[0]

which will yield you "1"

But I have python and django template.

z=[]

z = request.POST['whatever[]'] s = ','.join(str(n) for n in z)

I want to recive this s =1,2,3,4 but instead of this I habe only the last digit

Removed the [] symbol in the name. And after z = request.POST.getlist('whatever')

But this is not the way. Read django forms documentation
