Why cant you use square brackets??
call all your checkboxes the following:
interesting_area[]
Then post it to whatever page, now all the checkboxes that were checked are
held in a array (interesting_area)
To see what is contained in the array, do the following:
<?php
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST[interesting_area]);
echo "</pre>";
?>
>From here it depends on what you want to do with the data..
You can loop through the array, using for(), foreach() or while(), or
alternatively write a function to manipulate the data.
Hope that helps,
