Only the last element checked in checkboxes gets posted :-(

So I have checkboxes with the same name = "damages" in all of them and different values like value = "scratches" or value = "broken_screen". When I check multiple boxes, only the last value gets posted to the name = "damages" . So after the line "$damages = $app->request->post('damages');" , $damages contains only the last value checked and not all of them in like an array or something. Anyone knows how this stuff works?

OK, solved by using name = "damages[]", and keeping "$damages = $app->request->post('damages');" the same...
