PLEASE HELP - How to find number of check boxes created dynamically

[cpptutor2000]

Could some PHP guru please help me? I have very standard PHP - MySQL
application that reads in some data from a table and for each row, puts
a check box at the start of the row. Now the check boxes are variable
in number, depending only on the number of current records in the
database table. My question is: how do I count the number of check
boxes rendered at any one time. I tried having a global variable and
incrementing it each time a row is rendered on screen, but it does not
work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
you can create a array of check boxes by adding [] after the
name in
e. g. name="somename[]"
and create as many you want with same name and whenever you submit the
form you will get the check box values in array and just treat the
individual element of array as a seperete check box
e. g. somename[0], somename[1], etc

mail me if you have any problem

A variable should work quite fine, whether a global or not. But it's
hard to see what your problem is without some code.
