Re: 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

retrieved in the target function via $_Request['File'] So far so good. Now I want to have multiple values for $File, because $File is a value assigned to a dynamically generated list of files in a folder (which

will

change from folder to folder). If I have multiple <input type=checkbox name=File value=$File> then

only

the last value is posted to the next function and retrieved by $_Request['File'] How can I post and retrieve all values of $File or am I going about

this

the wrong way?
