Hi all. I have a list of users in a database that I would like to show on a dynamic webpage. With each of these users that shows up on the page, there is going to be a checkbox next to their name so that I can perform multiple tasks, such as 'Remove User' or 'Modify Information'. I have all of the appropriate information showing up on the page, including the checkboxes. My question is... if I select a checkbox for a user, the other pages do not even recognize that I have selected that checkbox and I am using the $_POST method - why is that? I have even attempted to use the import_request_variables function - no luck. So, I cannot verify which users I want to perform an action on. Anyone have any ideas? Snippets of code to follow... Thanks in advance, ~Philip <form action="performaction.php" method="post"> <table> <?php for ($j=0; $j<$numRows; $j++) {
    echo '<tr>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td><input type="checkbox" name="user' . $j . '" value="1"></td>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td>' . $dbid[$j] . '</td>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td>' . $firstName[$j] . '</td>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td>' . $lastName[$j] . '</td>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td>' . $uid[$j] . '</td>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td>' . $username[$j] . '</td>' . "\n";
    echo '	<td>' . $classification[$j] . '</td>' . "\n";
    echo '	</tr>' . "\n";
} ?> </table> <input type="submit" name="removeuser" value="Remove User" /> <input type="submit" name="modifyclass" value="Modify Classification" /> <input type="hidden" name="beenSubmitted" value="1" /> </form>
