George numerize them favourite[1],favourite[2],favourite[3]... and so on That works! btw print_r($GLOBALS) would you print out what you got from the Posted site with some more values.

Can't you name it as just favourite (without brackets) You need [] for it to be an array in PHP -- otherwise you only get one value no matter how many are checked. If you name it as just favourite, at least in Javascript you could loop through favourite as an array. I don't know if this works in PHP as well. It's easy enough to treat it as an array in Javascript with the brackets -- you just have to understand the equivalence between objects and arrays. Cheers!

Re: [PHP] making a tutorial
Parse.. It will be an array after you submit the form. So depends on what you wanna do with it. Do a print_r($favourite); after form submit and you will see. How to store it.. well if you wanna it in seperate fields you can loop through it and do an insert on every array element in your DB or store it serialized. Or create a string from the array and store it in a DB field. enum? Don't think it will work :) grtz, Thijs I'm making a tutorial and don't really understand how to do this myself :) pWhich of the following pets do have at home: br /input type=checkbox name=favourite[] value=dogdog br /input type=checkbox name=favourite[] value=catcat br /input type=checkbox name=favourite[] value=snakesnake br /input type=checkbox name=favourite[] value=othersnake br /input type=checkbox name=favourite[] value=nonenone of these /p How do I parse favourite[]?

Not exactly sure what you meant but check what's submitted with: $_POST['favourite'] or $_GET['favourite'] I might use favourite[] with mail() or store it in a mysql field.
