Answer 1

<input type="checkbox" name="businessType[]" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="businessType[]" value="2">
<input type="checkbox" name="businessType[]" value="3">

do $data = $this->input->post('businessType');

You should see that $data is an array, and shows different values. Try doing var_dump($data); to see what's inside the array.

var_dump()
