How do I loop through a list?

[marms]

I was wondering how to loop through a list. I will be providing many checkboxes which the results will end up posted to the next page in a list format ie. states = "OK,MA,AL"

I would then need to loop over some insert sql for each of these list items as a separate record mapped to the userID. Really the only part I am unsure on is how to loop over a list to get each element per iteration. In CFML I would use a "List Loop" tag that does just this, but I am kind of new to PHP. Any suggestions?

Thanks

if the form field that sends over the state names is called state_choice[] then

while($x = each($state_choice))
{
echo "$x[0] => $x[1]<BR>";
}

would print something like
state_choice => CA<BR>
state_choice => MN<BR>

you can change the echo statement to do whatever you want within the braces.

You can also use list or foreach to do similar things.
