Re: database/form help needed

Turn your checkboxes into an array <input type ="checkbox" name="id[]" val="<?php echo $thisid ?>"> And then parse the array when you POST the form while (list($key,$val)=each($id)) { echo "$val"; // this is an id that was checked } // end while The virtue of this is you don't have to check for all possible values (id1, id2, id3, etc), you'll only end up working with checkboxes that have been checked. kind regards, bill Chris Payne wrote: > Hi there everyone, > > I have a loop which goes through my MySQL database and some PHP code which grabs results 9 at a > time, and that works great.
