Re: Continuing with HELP can someone tell me whats wrong here? (newbie)

Well you realize don't you that unless, on submit, install changes to 1, whenever you submit your form it's going to go right back to the initial page. Mark Clarkstone wrote:

Where are you passing the variable "install"? I can't see it in your form. Perhaps look for $check instead of $install? Mark Clarkstone wrote:
