Hi there.

I am busy putting together a survey engine with an admin backned for a client. The client is an expensive restaurant that runs a survey once/twice a year.

I have created the survey, and have got the database submission working perfectly.

Checkbox data is imploded into an array, and is comma-seperated, which is then stored in an individual database field.

( I opted for this option as there are many checkbox options in the survey, and didn't want to put a major strain on the database as this survey gets about 12000 hits in 1 month )

Basically now what is happening is this.

If i opt to validate the checkbox data, after submission, the validator says that the checkboxes have not been inputted. If I remove validation on the checkboxes the rest of the survey validates, but in the event that something is left out, when it returns to the form to highlight the missing data, it re-enters all the other inputted information (input boxes | radio boxes | textarea's) but it does not re-check the selected checkboxes.

I have tried explode() on the post data, but to no avail.

Below is the script that has been written. The error highlighting and re-entering of data has not been continued all the way through, as I would like to figure out the checkboxes before I continue...

Thats alot of code...

Quick point, when validating, you are asking:

if($_POST["radiostations[]"]=="") {

you don't need the [] because it is not the name of the variable. [] tells it that it will become the $_POST['radiostations'] variable.

And i dont use double quotes in my $_POST[''] arrays... im not sure if it makes a difference.

See how that goes...

Nope, no luck. if i take the array [] out of the post's, when it validates, it fills in a checkbox with "array".

Thanks for trying though
