RE: [PHP] Not losing variables in forms w/ checkboxes

Just append a pair of brackets to the NAME in the FORM: suspendingAgent[]. This will create an array for the boxes that get checked. To get the array to a comma separated list on the processing page, try: $string = implode (",", $suspendingAgent); Kirk > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew V.
