Each checkbox item will have its own variable. For example, lets say I have a checkbox field whose Field Id is 1 and it has 3 choices, then I would access the value for each like the following:</p> <pre><code>$value_of_first_checkbox = $_POST[&quot;input_2_1&quot;]; $value_of_second_checkbox = $_POST[&quot;input_2_2&quot;]; $value_of_third_checkbox = $_POST[&quot;input_2_3&quot;];</code></pre> <p>I hope this helps. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-selected-values-of-checkboxes-in-gform_pre_submission#post-289547 Thu, 30 May 2013 10:42:26 +0000 hey.com.uy 289547@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Same looking over here! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-selected-values-of-checkboxes-in-gform_pre_submission#post-82835 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:09:49 +0000 sciamannikoo 82835@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you for your reply sanz.</p> <p>I wonder why nobody from GF answered yet... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-selected-values-of-checkboxes-in-gform_pre_submission#post-82826 Tue, 23 Oct 2012 01:30:59 +0000 sanz 82826@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No not as yet ...

In the example above the form was submitted with Appliances, Food and Beverage and Home and Living preselected (checked) in the form and then Book Stores and Stationary checked manually.</p> <p>What am I missing? The gform_pre_submission filter should have access to all submitted form data shouldn't it?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
