OK. If I am using the POST method and the checkbox 'name' for all of the checkboxes is 'system', how do I access the results? I am researching on the PHP site trying to figure out what this array is, and how I access this if the index name is the same for all elements. I am hoping that this data will be in an array and I can simply loop through the contents of the array. If this data is stored in a hash (Perl word for this type of array, not sure if it's the same in PHP), how do I access this data since the index for every element would be the same? I am SURE that I am probably missing some important conceptual issues here, but still learning as I go. Unfortunately, this probably means that I will be completely rewriting this application at least once in the future. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks again for the help. -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Jameson (USA) [mailto:RJameson@usa.ibs.org] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 10:35 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: RE: HTML Forms question... <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.
