Re: passing checkbox info

1)Name value pairs of check boxes which are checked will be returned. 2)To figure out which check box is returning "yes" you can use the keys of the cbox[] array which is returned. That is if your query returns 10 rows .. and user checks checkbox 1,3 and 5 out of those .. then $cbox[0], $cbox[2],$cbox[4] .. will have values "yes". 3)Then you can use $checked = array_keys($cbox) .. and $checked will be an array having all the keys of returned cbox array. ie (0,2,4) in the above case.

I'm trying to use checkboxes to be able to delete information from my database. It's just not working right. I can't get the checkbox form to pass a variable that makes any sense to me, and I looked into the check box function, and it made less sense. The value passed back from the check boxes are always "yes", but there is nothing to tell which box passed it back. Maybe I don't know enough about the check boxes in general. Any help is appreciated. I'm displaying the checkboxes as I display the data from the database. Can I tie in the checkboxes to one of the fields that i could then use to delete that entry?
