Hi all, I am using fgetcsv() to get a tab delimited text file into an array. It gives me an array in this format: Array (
     [0] => Array
         (
             [0] => 97
             [1] => Effects of Slow Heating Rates on Products of
Polyethylene Pyrolysis
         )
     [1] => Array
         (
             [0] => 103
             [1] => Effect of Heating Rate of Oxidative Degradation of
Polymeric Materials
         )
     [2] => Array
         (
             [0] => 106
             [1] => Identification and Differentiation of Synthetic
Polymers by Pyrolysis Capillary Gas Chromatography
         )
) From a form, I am passing in some values from checkboxes like: <input type="checkbox" name="notes[]" value="97" /> <input type="checkbox" name="notes[]" value="106" /> I need to be able to display the description string in the array for whichever checkboxes are checked. So for example if the user submits the form with the value "106" I want to display "Identification and Differentiation..." Any ideas? Please copy me on replies.
Just loop through and check... foreach($csvArray as $entry) { if(in_array($entry[0], $_REQUEST['notes'])) {
    echo $entry[1].'<br/>;
