Some people like to pair all their checkboxes with a hidden of the same name, the hiddens value will be sent if the checkbox isn't checked. Personally, I prefer having an actual unique name for the checkbox when you need to check a specific one. If you don't need to check if 'the third one' is set, but you're just getting - for e.g. - a list of pizza toppings, then the order doesn't matter and [] works fine. Otherwise (if it does), give it a unique name: <input type="checkbox" name="check[0]" value="someValue1"> Some Value 1 <input type="checkbox" name="check[1]" value="someValue2"> Some Value 2 <input type="checkbox" name="check[2]" value="someValue3"> Some Value 3 (although a little more unique would be clearer :) ) cheers, - Martin Norland, Sys Admin / Database / Web Developer, International Outreach x3257 The opinion(s) contained within this email do not necessarily represent those of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
