ok i know this is a dumb question but here goes ok i have a html form and it pulls things from a database and displays each row well each row has a different number which changes (like if there is 5 rows in the databse then there is a checkbox called 1,2,3,4,5), heres my question when it submits to the script i want to be able to check if a variable is filled for each one like 1,2,3,4,5 how would i run thru each number and see if it is filled? all help is appreciated...
