However, if it is a series of checkbox with the same name then you will need to do this: <input name="area_interest[]" type="checkbox" id="field13" value="Peer Guide" /> Notice I changed area_interest to area_interest[]. This way any checkboxes that are checked will be passed as an array. Take care, Floyd
