<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox1" value="scoobydoo"> if this is checked the value "scoobydoo" will be put into the array with index "checkbox1" which array is dependant on which method your form uses. :-) If it is not checked then there is no entry. in PHP with register_globals on the variable $checkbox1 will equal "scoobydoo" and not be set if the box is not checked. hope this helps... <>< Ryan -----Original Message----- From: NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) [mailto:sn4265@sbc.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 9:28 AM To: 'php-db@lists.php.net' Subject: HTML Forms question... I know that this is not the forum for this question, I am only looking for a pointer in the right direction here. I need to gain a better understanding of HTML forms, specifically checkboxes. What I am looking for is once I present a list of checkboxes and the user makes his selections, how is this presented to the subsequent pages? Does anyone know of a website that has a tutorial or good explanation of how this works? Thanks in advance.
