An easy way:
When you output the checkboxes, make the output something like:
<input type="checkbox" name="Recipe[]" value="Chicken" />
<input type="checkbox" name="Recipe[]" value="Beef" />
<input type="checkbox" name="Recipe[]" value="Turkey" />
<input type="checkbox" name="Recipe[]" value="Cat" />
Using the name as 'Recipe[]' means that when the results are submitted back to
your PHP script, it'll become an array, so you can then just do something
like:
foreach ($_POST['Recipe'] as $recipe)
{
print "I want to cook $recipe\n";
}
... that ought to get you going in the right direction!
Cheers
