RE: checkboxes vs text filed array and hidden variables

Sounds to me like your problem is that only the checkboxes that are checked are passed back. e.g. for ($I = 1; $I <= 10; $I++) { echo("<tr>"); echo("<td><input type='text' name='textfield[]' value=''></td>"); echo("<td><input type='checkbox' name='cbox[]' value='$i'></td>"); echo("</tr>"); } when the form is submitted 2 arrays are posted, textfield and cbox. Textfield has 10 elements but cbox has only as many elements as are ticked. As you haven't defined keys both arrays are started at 0 in the processing script. My preferred solution is to define keys in the html i.e. for ($I = 1; $I <= 10; $I++) { echo("<tr>"); echo("<td><input type='text' name='textfield[$i]' value=''></td>"); echo("<td><input type='checkbox' name='cbox[$i]' value='1'></td>"); echo("</tr>"); } that way in the processing script you can do foreach (cbox as $key=>$checked) echo($textfield[$key]); I hope I've interpreted your problem correctly.
