I see a number of possible solutions through PHP. The way that I would
handle this is to give each group its own numerical id. So something like..
Group #1
<input type="checkbox" name="list_1[]" value="1">Home<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="list_1[]"
value="2">Office<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="list_1[]" value="3">Friends'
home<br>
Group #2
<input type="checkbox" name="list_2[]" value="1">Home<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="list_2[]"
value="2">Office<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="list_2[]" value="3">Friends'
home<br>
Then in my script each group array can be accessed with something like this.
<?
$num_groups = 2;
for($i=1; $i<=$num_groups; $i++)
{
echo "<b>GROUP #$i</b><br>";
for($j=0; $j<count($_POST['list_'.$i]); $j++)
{
echo $_POST['list_'.$i][$j]."<br>";
}
}
?>
If you need to define each group with a userid then you cuold store those
ids in an array and use ereg() in a loop to parse the groups.
HTH,
