The form i am filling with the checkboxes has several checkbox options that someone can select subscription types. The sub types are all generated from a result set so that the form can grow or shrink by what is in the database and not by what is on the html code.... Trying to accomplish this with hand off maintenace. When a new option becomes available, add the option to the db and all the work is done. the php and the html code doesnt need to be modified at all....
Oh I hope this can be accomplished.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Sheltren" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ben Turner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, March 02, 2002 10:25 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] CheckBoxes.... > As far as I know, you can't name different checkboxes with the same name > (seems odd to me to do this anyway...).
