HTML HTML Forms Choosing Options Checkboxes

Has not the name attribute for each input type="checkbox" supposed to be different?

When you use $_POST['user_interest'], what will you get if for example 2 of 3 checkboxes from the video are selected and then form is submitted to a server via POST method?

1 Answer

Apparently you can group checkboxes by using the same name and you get the values from the checked checkboxes when the form is submitted.
