Hi
you need to check for $_POST["user1"], $_POST["user2"] etc - is that what
you are doing?
Your other variables are done as an array - $firstName[$j] etc, should your
check box be
echo ' <td><input type="checkbox" name="user[' . $j . ']"
value="1"></td>' . "\n";
(note the [])
Otherwise try vardump($_POST) to see exactly what is being returned.
If this does not fix it try posting the code that handles the response and
we will try and help.
