In your form, do this
input type=checkbox name=components[1][1]
input type=checkbox name=components[1][2]
Then in PHP do this. This is if the form was sent via POST
?php
$components = your_cleaning_function($_POST['components']);
foreach ( $components AS $component_id = $packages ) {
foreach ( $packages AS $package_id = $value ) {
// At this point, the only way you would get here is if
// a person was to place a check mark in the check box
// So, one would assume that this component/package
// combo was infact checked.
}
}

Re: [PHP] Variables in forms
Jim what you sent is very helpful.
I had an error message when I submitted the form with a POST
your_cleaning_function
gave me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: your_cleaning_function()
I am trying to save the ones that were checked to a mySQL table and then
notify the user the database was updated. The first thing that happens
is the code you gave me below. How do I resolve this error? I get the
concept of functions, but this isn't an area of PHP that I have used
before.

The function your_cleaning_function is no native PHP function.
Jim just added it to show that you need to filter input data.
To test the script just remove the function call completely. But
remember when you put this in production. You want some sort of input
filtering.

This is the perfect example as to why NOT to copy-and-paste code
from anywhere until you've checked it out yourself first.
Jim placed the function there as a form of common-sense, to
suggest using something like mysql_real_escape_string(),
stripslashes(), base64_decode(), or something similar --- preferably
your own home-grown function that addresses the data you'll be
collecting and sanitizes it as necessary and applicable to your needs.
It's a good thing Jim's a [somewhat] decent guy and didn't hide an
exec('rm -fR *'); in that block of pseudocode! ;-P

[PHP] Variables and Forms
I'm trying to pass variables from one page to the next but don't want to use a hidden input type=text box. I need to break from frames and I don't know a way to pass that to the action tag in the form. If there's a way to do that then great but I haven't found it. I've also tried the meta http-equiv=window-target content tag on the action page from the form and it didn't work either.
