assuming I create this array: $vegetables=array('corn','squash','beans','carrots','peas','kale'); The following check boxes work fine in my form. <div class="checkbox"> <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[0]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[0]?></label> <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[1]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[1]?></label> <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[2]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[2]?></label> <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[3]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[3]?></label> <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[4]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[4]?></label> <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[5]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[5]?></label> </div> But I've been trying to go one step further so if I add another vegetable to $vegetables[] , I won't have to add another line of code in the check boxes. For example, if I add "spinach", I won't also have to add the line: <label><input type="checkbox" name="vegetables[]" value="<?php echo $vegetables[6]?>"> <?php echo $vegetables[6]?></label> I tried forever by using something along the lines of: foreach ($vegetables as $key =>$value) // mixing html and PHP here to create each of the 6 "<label> </label>" lines of code. } That way, all I have to do is add a vegetable to $vegetables and not change the html I thought I had it at one point but I wasn't able to check more than one of the boxes at a time. thanks for any comments chop
