here is a snippet of some of the checkbox options...
Ad Design
Animation
ASP
what i want to do is pass a userid( lets call that userid) along with
any of the items that are checked only.
userid is from a text box entry
so if ad design and ASP are only selected i want both of them in the table
user id | skill
----------------
123 | Ad design
123 | ASP
any help appreciated.
Thanks

The previous poster is correct in saying that checkboxes are only
passed to the receiving form if they have been ticked. So, the trick
would be to set value="'.$userid.'" in the checkbox.
Or even (untested) do this:
Ad
Design
/>Animation
ASP
.... perhaps :-)
Then in the receiving page:
foreach ( $_post['skillset'] in $key => $value ) {
'INSERT INTO table VALUES
("","'.mysql_escape_string($_post['userid']).'","'.mysql_esc ape_string($value]).'")'
}
(obviously put the INSERT into a suitable command. I am assuming the
first field will be an autoincrementing id.)
Apologies if there is some error there - but it's before breakfast so
my brain isn't fully awake! ;-)
