Since you already know $subjectx (English or Math), then just use that
value in your foreach() loop...
Foreach($strandx[$subjectx] as $strandy)
Where $subjectx would come from your form. Provide some validation
first.
So something like this:
//Many ways to do this, just validate
//whatever is coming from your form
//matches a key in $strandx
switch($_POST['subject'])
{
case "English"
$subject = "English"
break;
default:
$subject = "Mathematics";
break;
}
print " <ol><li><b>".$subject."</b>.<br />\n";
foreach( $strandx[$subject] as $strandy )
{
print " <ul>\n";
asort($strandy ); // sorts the strands
foreach( $strandy as $str )
{
print "<li>";
checkbox("fstrand[]",$subjectx,$str,0,0);
print "</li>\n";
}
print " </ul>\n";
}
print "</li></ol>\n";
