Re: checkboxes and php

Checkboxes are not passed by the browser unless they are checked. The value attribute is usually irrelevant. Note: another method is to use: <input type=checkbox name="materialid[<? echo $row["material_id"];?>]"> This will pass a sequential array $_POST['materialid'] to the PHP server, which is usually easier to process.
