I am having problems with populating checkboxes. After I call up a record, one of the fields has a bunch of characters that I use to determine which checkboxes to populate on the form. I extract each character via "strpos" to variables. I then have the checkbox form check if the status is "on". That all seems to work fine until I want to change the status of the checkboxes. The change is somehow not being taken over. I know how to update the record of the change, but I have to be able to change the fields/variables first. <?php // // $pepe01 = strpos($pepe00, "A"); $pepe02 = strpos($pepe00, "B"); // // if ($pepe01 == "A") { $pepe11 = "on"; } // // ?> <html> <tr> <td align="left" width="35"><font color="#00ff00" face="Arial" size="2"> </font> <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox01" <?php if($pepe11 == "on"){echo "CHECKED";}?>></td> <td align="left"><font color="#00FF00" face="Arial" size="2"> Alex</font></td> </tr> </html>
