Checkbox Checked

[NZ_Kiwis]

How can I echo a true or false value of these checkbox's based on a forum submit? they are displayed at run time so can't hard code it.

<?php 
   require('../db.php'); 

   $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM `forum_regions`"); 
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
?> 
      <input name="<?php echo $row['RegionID']; ?>" type="checkbox" value="1"<?php echo ($row['RegionActive']) ? ' checked="checked"' : ''; ?> /> <?php echo $row['RegionName']; ?><br /> 
<?php 
   } 
?>

You can try something like (pardon this will be a quick idea/example)

   require('../db.php');
   $checkbox = array();

   $result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM `forum_regions`");
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 
       if (isset($row['RegionID'])) {
           $checkbox[$row['RegionID']] = true;
       } else {
           $checkbox[$row['RegionID']] = false;
       }
    }

Ideally, $checkbox is an array, each of the keys will be your dynamic checkbox list, and it will return true if its posted, as a checkbox variable just isnt set or !isset() if it isn't checked.

You can add additional validators such as && $_POST[$row['RegionID']] == 1 if you want to ensure it came through ok.

hope this helps..
