I'm doing something very similar on a project I'm working on, except I'm
using radio buttons. I'm not quite sure what are using the ID for (for
style sheets or a data ID). If you are using it as a data ID, then you
can make it part of the topic[] array. So it would look like this:
<input type='checkbox' name="topic['45']" value='a value'>
Then to process the array, you would do something like this:
while (list($checkboxID,$checkboxValue) = each $topic) {
// Your process code
}
Each check box is then referenced by the two variables $checkboxID and
$checkboxValue. There are a number of ways ou can do this, really any
way you would process and array (i.e. foreach). I prefer this way
because I can give logical names to the array elements I am using.
