Jim what you sent is very helpful.
I had an error message when I submitted the form with a POST
your_cleaning_function
gave me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: your_cleaning_function()
I am trying to save the ones that were checked to a mySQL table and then
notify the user the database was updated. The first thing that happens
is the code you gave me below. How do I resolve this error? I get the
concept of functions, but this isn't an area of PHP that I have used
before.
