There are two ways I can think of. 1) You could change the way that your code creates the checkbox names, so that rather than getting 12 variables, you get an array with 12 elements. 2) You could repeat your MySQL query on the echo page, and loop though code something like this: $varname = "Check".$mydata->id; echo $$varname; Good Luck.
