Re: check box help

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried that too, but still no luck.  I don't
know what I am doing wrong here.  I had the form tag at the top of the page,
so it will pass the variables to the next page.  It passes all the variables
except the check boxes to the next page.  This is what I changed it to:

if (!mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbusername, $dbpassword)) {
        print 'Could not connect to mysql';
        exit;
    }

    $result = mysql_list_tables($dbname);

    if (!$result) {
        print "DB Error, could not list tables\n";
        print 'MySQL Error: ' . mysql_error();
        exit;
    }
    mysql_free_result($result);

$counter=0;

$CourseInfo = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM eClassRoom_InstructorInfo");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($CourseInfo)) {
echo "<tr>
    <td width='3%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'>
    <input type='checkbox' name='CheckBox[$counter]' value='ON'></td>
    <td width='7%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'>
    <p align='right'><b><font color='#800000'>Course:</font></b></td>
    <td width='18%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'
colspan='2'>
    <p align='center'><font color='#111111'>";
echo $row["ClassTitle"];
echo "</font></td>
    <td width='8%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'
colspan='2'>
    <b><font color='#800000'>Instructor:</font></b></td>
    <td width='15%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'>
    <p align='left'>";
echo $row["InstructorName"];
echo "</td>
    <td width='15%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'>
    <b><font color='#800000'>Course Description:</font></b></td>
    <td width='36%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'
colspan='2'>
    <p align='center'>";
echo $row["CourseDescription"];
echo "</td>
  </tr>
<tr>
<td width='100%' style='border-style: none; border-width: medium'
colspan='10'>
    &nbsp;</td>
</tr>
  <tr>";
$counter++;
}


Then on the next page, this is how I try to output it, but it doesn't work:

for($i=0; $i < $counter; $i++) {
echo $CheckBox[$i];
echo "<br>";
}

I just can't get it to work, and I have been trying for hours.  You
mentioned printing out Globals or something.  I am relatively new to this,
so I don't really know how to do that.  I would really appreciate more help.
Thanks.

Matt
