hi,

i tried some code.the following code is used to display records from mysql table and dynamically creates a checkbox for every record.

when i click checkbox and press submit button,that particular record will be hided(unpublished),here the field 'published' value will be set to '0' means unpublished and '1' for published.upto this ok.

but what i want to do is when i want publish the same record again,how to code.if i create another button,how to make it in action.i want to code like this.

if published value='0' then if i click checkbox and press submit button,the published value='1'.if published value='1' then if i click checkbox and press submit button,the published value='0'.any of your help will be surely appreciated.

thanks
