Re: php coding for checkboxes

You should change the checkbox names, they are all the same now (each checkbox name has to be unique). PHP code to identify whether a checkbox is checked, use:
[php]if(isset($_POST['checkbox_name'])) echo 'checked';[/php]

You need to post the form.

myform.php
[PHP]
<form action="check.php" method="POST" name="myform">
<input name="cd0" type="checkbox" checked="checked">
</form>[/PHP]

check.php
[PHP]
<?PHP
if(isset($_POST['cd0'])){ echo 'checked';}
?>
[/PHP]
