Check boxes (again)

[vronsky]

Sorry, I've found out anything about this in other post but none can really solve my problem:

Imagine I'm writing an application to book travels. In the beginning I don't know the number of passengers so I ask it in a form.
Then I dinamically build a form to input data of each passenger, so if there are 4 pax I'll have a form with 4 text boxes asking passenger name. But each passenger can have different needs,maybe one need a single room, one need fullboard threatment,one need vegetarian food. Of course every hotel can offer different features for their guests needs and I dinamically load these features from a table.
So I have such a form :

<?

 for($i=0;$i<$count_pax;$i++){
	?>
	Name <input name="name[]" type="text"> &nbsp;
	Age <input name="age[]" type="text"> &nbsp;<?
$query = "SELECT feature_id,feature_name 
          FROM hotels 
		  WHERE hotel:id = '$hotel' 
		   ";
	$result = mysql_query($query, $conn);
	echo"<fieldset><legend>
Check feature/s you need :
</legend><table width=\"300\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">";
    if (!$result) {
      echo "Invalid SQL ".mysql_error();
	  } 
	$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
	for($i=0;$i< $num;$i++){
	$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
	?>
  <tr>
    <td  width="250 ><? echo $row[1] ?></td>
    <td width="50"><input name="feature" type="checkbox" value="<? echo $row[0] ?>"></td>
  </tr>
	<?
	}
	echo "</table></fieldset><br>";
}

But every checkbox need a different name, isn't it?
So how can I collect the $_POST in my next php page?
Ok for passengers name :

$count = count($name);

for($i=0;$i<$count;$i++){
echo $_POST['name'][$i]." ".$_POST['age'][$i]."<br>"

But what about the checkboxes?

}

Any help very appreciated.

you are already using array to collect the passenger info. use a sub-array for the checkboxes. here's a very ruff and untested idea:

$query = "SELECT feature_id, feature_name FROM hotels WHERE hotel_id = '$hotel'";
$result = mysql_query($query, $conn); 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {$features[$row['feature_id']] = $row['feature_name'];}

for ($i = 1; $i <= $count_pax; $i++)
{
	echo '
	Name <input type="text" name="name[' . $i . ']"><br>
	Age <input type="text" name="age[' . $i . ']"><br>
	';

foreach ($features as $key => $value)
{
	echo '<input type="checkbox" name="features[' . $i . '][]"  value="' . $key . '">' . $value . '<br>'; 
}	
}

Sorry Mike,thank for your help, but it is not exactly what fit my needs :I try to explain me better,my english is so poor....

I can display as checkboxes as I retreive from my databse table. I display n/checkboxes every textfield where a guest should write his name.

My problem is this,how can associate a checkboxes group to a name?
And how should I call theese checkboxes to collect their values in my form processing script?
I can't do it simply with a checkbox name[]
because every checkbox MUST have a different name....
I'think I'm on a dead line.
