| | I know how to send back the check-boxes, so that's not the issue.
I have a form that contains a group of 5 check-boxes.
The user could select none, one, all, or any combination in between.
I'm working on form validation right now and am doing most of it server side. The validation is set so that if the user has to go back all their data is retained.
I'm using case statements, which work wonderfully, but in this circumstance I don't know what would be the best method that allows for a multitude of combinations. I think there is a possibility of something like 120 different combinations.
What I want is for the check-boxes that were selected to be checked when it's sent back to the form.
Would it be better to just send each box as its own separate entity and evaluate it that way?
Thanks!

Would it be better to just send each box as its own separate entity and evaluate it that way? Thanks! kvarnerexpress I'd try something like the following : CODE
...
<?php
$postvars = $_POST;
if ( ServerSideValidate ( $postvars ) == okay )//do your server side validation here.
redirect to a nice 'thankyou for filling in our form' page. Not sure how to do this right now.
else
proceed to the next bit.
?>
<form method="post" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>">
//the php_self bit makes it so the form submits to itself, so the code above can validate and either pass the user on or give them another try at the form.
<input method="checkbox" name="cb1" value="<?php if ( isset ($postvars['cb1'] ) ) print $postvars['cb1']; else print "";?>">
// What this does is check if the cb1 variable is filled from a previous try at the form. If it is, the value is put back in, else nothing is printed.
... and so on for cb2, cb3, cb4, cb5.
</input>
</form>
What that does is : - If the user is seeing the form for the first time, no POST variables will exist, and so the form is in a default state. - When the user submits, the form submits to itself. At the top of the code is your validation code, and if the data passes you redirect the user to your nice little 'thanks' page. Otherwise, continue to the juicy bit. - IF the user doesn pass your validation, then the next bit comes in. The user's already submitted some postdata, so it's there in the $_POST global. What the bit of code inside the 'value' attribute does is put the data back. Should work : i haven't checked it and you may need to tweak to taste, but that's the basic method.

Get Back Lots Of Disk Space

doing that got me back around two to three gigabytes of free hard disk space... But that's not
enough, the game needed 6 gigabytes of free disk space! So what did I do next? I ran CCleaner...

Multiple Forum Skins
To have, or not to have? (6) Hey all, I'm just starting up a forum on my hosting here, and I was wondering, how do people

forum and maybe one or two added on that match the style of the forum a little better, but what do
you think? Should I have a dark/light added on, in addition to the default skins? and should I
leave the forum default as one of the included skins? or something that fits in with my idea of what
the forum looks like a little better? thanks for your opinions /smile.gif" style="vert....

Multiple Gmail Accounts As Free Online Storage?
(8) I came across this topic which basically says that you can use Gmail to store your files. If
you're lucky, you get some free gmail invites to be sent to your friends when you open a gmail
account. Now if you just keep sending the invites to yourself, you'll end up with lots more
gmail accounts, isn't it? (I've tried it, you CAN create multiple gmail accounts by inviting
yourself) And that means more storage space if you use each account to store 2 GB of things right?
Could it possibly rival other premium data backup services online, most importantly....
