How to POST checkbox values to array?












-2















With the following I have a list of checkboxes:



<form action="" method="POST" autocomplete="off">
<div class="form-group">
<?php
$categories = get_categories(
array( 'parent' => 184, 'hide_empty' => 0 )
);
foreach($categories as $c){
$cat = get_category( $c );
echo "<input type='checkbox' value=".$cat->cat_ID."> ".$cat->name."<br>";
}
?>
</div>
<input id="changeTema" name="changeTema" type="submit" value="AGGIORNA TEMA" class="btn secondary-btn primary-bg">
</form>


And when I submit, I am updating the DB



if ('AGGIORNA TEMA' === ($_POST['changeTema'])) {
if (isset($_POST['changeTema'])) {
wp_set_post_categories( $id, array(), FALSE );
}
}


How can I add to array() the selected checkboxes in wp_set_post_categories( $id, array(), FALSE );

          Set the name as input arrays -



          <input type='checkbox' name="sample" value=".$cat->cat_ID.">


          And the code would be -



           $arr = $_POST['sample'];
          wp_set_post_categories( $id, $arr, FALSE );
