[/code] and then process it on the page you send the data to like: [code] if (is_array ($my_check)) { while (list ($key, $value) = each ($my_check)) { $data .= "$key, "; } } [/code] Adapt the name and who you want the data outputted and you'll be away. --------------------- Note: You can also set the values this way too (I'm not aware of any differences in performance between the 2 methods): [code] <input type="checkbox" name="my_check[]" value="1" /> 1<br /> <input type="checkbox" name="my_check[]" value="2" /> 2<br /> ETC.
