Note that you can use arrays when naming your form elements -- isn't PHP wonderful :). Thus you can have: <input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus[0]" checked> <input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus[1]" checked> <input type="check" name="chkAuthStatus[2]" checked> ...etc This simplifies the code somewhat as you can now loop through the elements of the array $chkAuthStatus to find out whether it is checked or not. regards -- Jason Wong Gremlins Associates www.gremlins.com.hk Tel: +852-2573-5033 Fax: +852-2573-5851 -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
