RE: [PHP] form question

Hi again! First - even if you generate the checkboxes, you can have full control over the naming. The variables is put into an associative array $HTTP_SERVER_VARS or something. (check the phpinfo() output). Just traverse the array - and there you go.

I'm sure there are methods or hacks to achieve what you are asking, but I usually try to figure out a better way to create my form so that it is easier to parse, like making the form variable names consistant and making the values dynamic, or putting hidden values along side of form elements to track corresponding data.
