    Try adding a name and a value attribute on every checkbox like so :

    <input type="checkbox" name="fruit[]" value="Apple" />

    and so on…

    $_GET[‘fruit’] will return an array consisting of all the values of the checkboxes that were checked.

    When creating forms, every form input requires a "name" attribute. For example:

    <input type="text" name="nom" placeholder="Type your name here">
