Hi all, Extremely desparate here as I still cannot get my problem sought out, so decided to post my question again. Allow me to repeat my question again: I have a form with the checkbox like this <form> <?php $query="select id from foo"; $result=($query,$con); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print("<input type="checkbox" name="$id" value="on">"); } ....submit button and stuffs here... ?> </form> After I tried check on few checkboxes and submit to next page, at next page, how do I check which check box is checked so that I can get value of the checked one to process to next step? I did try isset() and empty() to check if variable exist ( as shown below) and did not work as the result always turn up to be "off" if((empty($id))=='true'){ echo "off"; }else{ echo "on"; } And I also try if(isset($id)) { ..do echo off here... }else{ ...do echo on.... } And the result is always "off" as well. Somene advice me to use $http_var_gets btu I could not find it from manaual, is that the solution I need? cheers Jack jacky@activelifestyle.com "There is nothing more rewarding than reaching the goal you set for yourself"
