What do you mean generate?? do you want the name to be an array?? a unique name??

Please elaborate

thanx 4 reply!
so .. i make query for some products in database and then show that list for example in table (where you have checkbox, product and the price).
and i want the name of checkbox to be like < $somename.$id_product > so that when somebody checks i would know what product was checked..

the real problem is to generate that unique name of checkbox and then make something with it!!!

maybe there is some possibility to do that ???

You could try.

<FORM action="prog.php" method="post">

item 1 <input type="checkbox" name="item[]" value="12345">
item 2 <input type="checkbox" name="item[]" value="12346">
item 3 <input type="checkbox" name="item[]" value="12347">
item 4 <input type="checkbox" name="item[]" value="12348">

<INPUT type="submit" value="submit">

</FORM>

the php would look like.

<?

$howmany=count($item);

while ( $howmany >= 0 )
{
if ( $item[$howmany] != "" )
{
echo "item number : ".$item[$howmany]."<BR>";
}
}

?>

It will let you check as many boxes as you like and the items numbers will be stored in the array item.
