how will i get the value of an html textbox and include it on my query string so i will be able to pass the value on a php page. noting that i have many textbox arrange in a row, how will i get a certain textbox within a certain row only?

Well,

assuming that your text-boxes are within a form, i'd say something like this:

<form name="form" method="post" action="checkbox.php">
<textarea name="textarea1"></textarea>
<textarea name="textarea2"></textarea>
</form>

In the 'checkbox.php' you could check which variable holds data. Something like:

if (!empty($textarea1)) {
your code here;
} else {
if (!empty($textarea2)) {
next code here;
}
}

where (!empty($variable)) is checking if the variable is not empty.
you can reverse that by taking away the '!'.

There are many ways to check, 'switch' for instance is one of them. go see www.php.net

the problem is all of the textboxes have initial value, so all of them are not empty, i just base on their unique id to get their value, but i dont know how to get it?
