I don't know whether the following works for PHP3, but for PHP4 you would use: <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="MYCHK[A]" VALUE="A"> <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="MYCHK[B]" VALUE="B"> You could even use multi-dimensional arrays: <INPUT TYPE="CHECKBOX" NAME="MYFORM[CHECKBOX][A]" VALUE="A"> You would reference this as $MYFORM['CHECKBOX']['A'] in your php code. hth -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.com.hk /* If a subordinate asks you a pertinent question, look at him as if he had lost his senses.
