You're close, but you want to use multidimensional arrays. So something like:
<input type=checkbox name=data[0][url] value='http'>
<input type=text name=data[0][txt] size=75 value='desc'>
<input type=checkbox name=data[1][url] value='http'>
<input type=text name=data[1][txt] size=75 value='desc'>
<input type=checkbox name=data[2][url] value='http'>
<input type=text name=data[2][txt] size=75 value='desc'>
...
Obviously you can put that into a loop to generate how many you want instead of typing each one individually. It will then be simple to match your array items since your array will have x rows and two columns: url, txt. Just keep in mind that some rows rows will have two columns and some one, depending on if they filled out both fields.

Hi, I have a form that has something like this: <input type=checkbox name=url[] value='http://somesite' checked> <a href='http://somesite' target=a>somesite</a> <br><input type=text name=txt[] size=75 value='some desc'> <input type=checkbox name=url[] value='http://somesite1' checked> <a href='http://somesite1' target=a>somesite1</a> <br><input type=text name=txt[] size=75 value='some desc1'> <input type=checkbox name=url[] value='http://somesite2' checked> <a href='http://somesite2' target=a>somesite2</a> <br><input type=text name=txt[] size=75 value='some desc2'> As you can see from the above, theses a checkbox (url[]) which holds the value of the URL and a textbox (txt[]) which holds some description text, in the above there are only 3 rows but actually there are 200 per page. When the form is submitted how do I make sure that if url[] is unchecked even txt[] should not be taken? These values will be entered into the database so I need proper "matching pairs" of URL and TXT Thanks, Ryan -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- Brent Baisley Systems Architect Landover Associates, Inc.
