You are wrong, this is from HTML 4.01 specification: value = /cdata/ <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [CA] <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This attribute specifies the initial value <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> of the control. It is optional except when the type <cid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> attribute has the value "radio" or "checkbox".
Upon submiting a form, only "successfull" checkboxes are submited, so on the next page you only need this loop: foreach($d_c_arr as $i) { echo '<input type="hidden" name="d_c_arr[]" value="'. htmlspecialchars($i).'">'; } $d_c_arr contains only checked checkboxes.
