97 Dave is on a distinguished road Default Checkboxes and db
rows  Hello again.  I have a query that pulls rows from a mysql
db. The data is displayed in a simple HTML table. The first
column of the HTML table has a checkbox for each row. It looks a
little like this:  PHP Code: SELECT  |    NAME  |    ID    |
|   [ ckbx]  |    John  |    2233  | |   [
ckbx]  |    Susie |    5577  |   The user is allowed to select
rows, each of which has a unique ID. I have spent untold hours
trying to understand how to know which rows (i.e., the unique
ids) were selected by checkboxes. How would I go about this?
The HTML table is on a form with a POST method. So, for example,
if a user checks the checkbox on John's row, how can I retrieve
John's ID into a $_POST array?  None of my books go into this
specifically. They only give checkbox examples such as What is
your fav. ice cream? Vanilla, Chocolate
