HTTP_POST_VARS and multiple checkboxes

[Anon]

I have a form that allow a person to select a variety of options through checkboxes. They all use the same controlname,at least for now ... according to the W3C, this is legal ... But in the resulting HTTP_POST_VARS, only ONE of the several values show up ...

How do I get around this ?

Thanks,
J.F.

give them an array as name.

i.e.: name="check[1]"
name="check[2]"
...

In the script executed by the submit button you can use eighter each element of the array or

$checkboxes = implode (" ", $check);

to have all answers in one variable delimited by a space.

Hope this helps
