checkboxes are like any other input, yo ugive them a name and optionally a value, and if they are selected when the form is sent then the variable is set (usually to "on") or given the value that you assign it. For example: <input type="checkbox" name="foo" value="bar"> would yield $_REQUEST['foo']=="bar" in the script. Checkboxes can also use arrays, which usually prove to be more useful. i.e. <input type="checkbox" name="foo[apple]"> and <input type="checkbox" name="foo[banana]"> Anyways, to display it in HTML it's <?=$_REQUEST['foo']?> or echo $_REQUEST['foo']; depending on how you do things. You can also use the $_POST or $_GET vars and accomplish the same thing depending on the mehtod you use or if register globals are on then it's just $foo; -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
