Dynamic Checkbox

[gobbles]

Hey All,

I got a bit of a problem thats giving me a major headache.

I have a form which generates checkboxes from a database, so there isnt a set number of them ... they are generated by the following:

	  while ($listing_row = mysql_fetch_array($listing_results)) {
	    extract($listing_row);
	    echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox\" value=\"".$description."\" id=\"list".$id."\" ><label for=\"list".$id."\">&nbsp;&nbsp;" .$description . "</label><font color=\"#FF0000\">&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;".$date_uploaded."</font><br />\r";
	  }

I want the next script to take each of the checked boxes and assign them to a variable so that i can recall them at a later stage.

For example ... if there was 150 checkboxes and only 2 were checked, then $checked1 would equal the description of the first checked box, $checked2 would equal the description of the second checked box, and so on.

Cheers

name your checkboxes "checkbox[]" so their result after form submit will be an array.
if not, they will overwrite each other one after the other and you'll get only the last one's value.

Ok ... Once thats done ... How would i go about the rest of the things that need to be done?

after submission, only the checked boxes will be passed to the post.
so $_POST['checkbox'] would be and array with the values being the descriptions
