[UPHPU] Check boxes and sessions

[John]

<?PHP
session_start()
// you only have to register the session variable name once.
// ie. session_register("name_checkbox");
// as long as this has been done somewhere in some script, and
// you session_start() at the begining of the script page, the
// value will be constant.
// you could also make them as $session['name_checkbox'];
// and then just session_register("session");

session_register("name_checkbox");
session_register("address_checkbox")
session_register("etc.etc.");

?>

<form ....>
<input type="checkbox" name="name_checkbox" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="address_checkbox" value="1">
</form>


<?PHP
if ($name_checkbox == "1")
    ..do something...

etc
?>


Ash, if this isn't clear let me know and I'll make a much more detailed
example.  Basically there are 3 parts.  1) make sure the session is
started on each page.  2) make sure that at least somewhere the script is
told to register the variable name of your choice into the saved session
data.  3) obtain the form value (in my example it's "1"), and assign the
form data to the session var name, and that should be enough to make it
work.
