Despite the "Note:" in FAQ 8.1 (grrr!), you *can* use indices in your FORM NAME attributes if it makes sense to do so. <?php $asset_names[13] = 'Public Restrooms'; echo "<input type=checkbox name=assets[13]> $asset_names[13] <input name=quantity[13] size=2><BR>\n"; ?> Your processing script will then have: $assets[13] and $quantity[13], both referring to Public Restrooms. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out?
