Re: checkbox => POST => array??

I'm doing something very similar on a project I'm working on, except I'm using radio buttons. I'm not quite sure what are using the ID for (for style sheets or a data ID). If you are using it as a data ID, then you can make it part of the topic[] array. So it would look like this: <input type='checkbox' name="topic['45']" value='a value'> Then to process the array, you would do something like this: while (list($checkboxID,$checkboxValue) = each $topic) { // Your process code } Each check box is then referenced by the two variables $checkboxID and $checkboxValue. There are a number of ways ou can do this, really any way you would process and array (i.e. foreach). I prefer this way because I can give logical names to the array elements I am using.

I, I don't have my books here and it's been a while since I did PHP, and google isn't helping: How do I code a bunch of checkboxes with id's, and then loop trough the result as an array after POSTing it? What I have now: <input type='checkbox' id='45' name='topic[]' value='45'> doesn't return an array $topic??
