Re: checkbox question

This will work: http://www.php.net/array_merge Call your checkboxes like so: a.php ========================================== <form action="b.php" method="post"> <input type="checkbox" name="a1" value="A"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="a2" value="B"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="a3" value="C"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="a4" value="D"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="a5" value="E"><br> <input type="checkbox" name="a6" value="F"><br> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT"> </form> ========================================== then post it to the desired page and do something like this: b.php ========================================== <?php $foo = array_merge($_POST['a1'],$_POST['a2'],$_POST['a3'],$_POST['a4'],$_POST['a5'] ,$_POST['a6']); echo $foo; // Returns an array echo "<pre>"; print_r($foo); // Look whats in the array echo "</pre>"; ?> ========================================== Best of luck, Craig "B.C.
