I am trying to process a form where the user uses checkboxes: <input type="checkbox" name="painDesc[]" value="1" />Sharp <input type="checkbox" name="painDesc[]" value="2" />Stabbing <input type="checkbox" name="painDesc[]" value="3" />Jabbing When I do: foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $val) { $$key = $val; echo $key . ": " . $val . "<br>"; } The output is: painDesc: Array I need to know the values of the array (IE to know what the user is checking), not that there is an array. I hope to save these values to the database. Thank you. Ron -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
