OK. Stumped once again. This function is now properly generating
and displaying the form as I intend it to. The only problem is that the
optional text and button at the end of the function is actually displaying
above the choices provided in the while loop from the database. Please let
me know what you think.
function CheckboxList($query, $CheckboxText) {
$cnt = 1;
$result1 = mysql_query($query);
echo "<form name=\"form1\" method=\"post\" action=\"test_display.php\">";
echo "<table border=\"0\" align=\"center\">";
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result1)) {
$sys = split('-', $list['id-sys']);
if ($cnt == 1) {
$cnt = 2;
echo "<tr><td width=\"161\"><input name=\"system[]\" type=\"checkbox\"
value=\"$sys[1]\">";
echo $sys[1]."</td>";
} elseif ($cnt == 2) {
$cnt = 3;
echo "<td width=\"161\"><input name=\"system[]\" type=\"checkbox\"
value=\"$sys[1]\">";
echo $sys[1]."</td>";
} elseif ($cnt == 3) {
$cnt = 4;
echo "<td width=\"161\"><input name=\"system[]\" type=\"checkbox\"
value=\"$sys[1]\">";
echo $sys[1]."</td>";
} elseif ($cnt == 4) {
$cnt = 1;
echo "<td width=\"161\"><input name=\"system[]\" type=\"checkbox\"
value=\"$sys[1]\">";
echo $sys[1]."</td></tr>";
}
}
if ($CheckboxText) {
echo "<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"4\">$CheckboxText</font></p>";
}
echo "<div align=\"center\"><input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\"
value=\"Submit\"></div></form>";
}
One other question while I am at it... I am wanting to provide a
button that selects all of the checkboxes automatically and refreshes the
page. You know, a select all button. I know nothing of Javascript, but
this is what should do this, correct? Once again, any and all help is most
appreciated.

Subject: Re: Function questions...
$sys is an array, so echoing $sys will cause problems.
Are you trying to get a 4xN table of values and checkboxes? There's
got to be an easier way...
