You can even make whatever $zone you selected the key, instead of starting at zero. $display_block .="<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"zone[$zone]\" value=\"$zone\">$zone<br>"; If there's a possibility $zone could have double quotes (") within it, then you'll need to run htmlentities() on it before sticking it in the value attribute of your input element. > > } > > then send parameter $br to processing form and then get it with cycle With this method, you don't have to worry about sending $br to the next page, either... > for ($i=1;$i<=$br;$i++) > { > $name="zone_checked_$i"; > > $zone_selected = $_POST[$name]; > > } All of the above could be replaced with: Foreach($_POST['zone'] as $value) { echo "You chose $value"; } Hope that helps... ---John W.
