RE: [PHP] retrieving form checkbox values

Here's my register globals off version: Make sure that your form send a post with the highest index value [howmany]. $howmany=$_POST['howmany']; for ($index = 1; $index < $howmany; $index++){ $checkbox = 'checkbox'.$index; $checkbox= $_POST[$checkbox]; ... Repeat for your other row-level form inputs ... Do something with the data... } Hope this helps George in Oxford > -----Original Message----- > From: Sævar Öfjörð [mailto:ofjord@simnet.is] > Sent: 17 July 2003 10:35 am > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP] retrieving form checkbox values > > > > I think you have to do <input type=checkbox name=File[]> > Then $File becomes an array.
