Try the code below and see what variables are posted. <form method=get action="chkbox.html"> <?for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++):?> <input type="checkbox" name=p<?=$i?> value=1>p<?=$i?><br> <?endfor?> <input type="submit"> </form> To process variables you may use $HTTP_GET_VARS (or $HTTP_POST_VARS if you preffer). adu PS: If you want the checkboxes to be checked by default you must use CHECKED, not SELECT :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Benbow [mailto:mikeyb@hn.ozemail.com.au] > Sent: 3 iulie 2001 12:08 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Fw: Processing checkboxes in Dynamic tables > > > My apologies, > > I was playing with the code and changed something before sending... > > Where it reads <INPUT TYPE=\"CHECKBOX\" SELECT > NAME=\"$p[$trade]\" the array should actually read p$trade > > Peace, > Michael > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Michael Benbow > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 7:02 PM > Subject: Processing checkboxes in Dynamic tables > > > I have a solution to my problem already, but I am looking for > a far more economical way of doing this. > > Currently my first page is four seperate tables with about 25 > or so entries in each.
