RE: [PHP] Scrolling through values sent from a form[scanned]

Don't rely on checkboxes. If they are not checked, as you've found out I think, then the value is not set at all. Use a hidden value to carry over a key for each field, then check the checkbox to see whether it was checked or not. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
