Re: [PHP] CheckBoxes....

As far as I know, you can't name different checkboxes with the same name (seems odd to me to do this anyway) When you submit a form to a php page, the php page will have a variable for each input item in your form So if you have checkbox items named, a, b, c, and d, and submit a form with a
