Re: passing checkbox value to next page
 

Use <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="your value" />
Keep using that for your checkboxes, but just change value="". It will put all your checkbox values into the $_REQUEST[checkbox][] array. Then on the next page and the page after, etc. etc., just output this into HTML:

[php]<?php

$previous_checkboxes = '';
foreach ($_REQUEST['checkbox'] as $value)
{
$previous_checkboxes .= '<input type="hidden" name="checkbox" value="' . $value . '" />';
}

?>[/php]
