[snip] I create a list of records from a DB and each has a check box. What is the best way to select those that were checked after the form is submitted? [/snip]
If the elements all live within the same form, you can add [] to the end of the name/id attribute, and then all checkboxes with the same name will be accessible in an array. So "checkboxname[]" will show up as $_POST['checkboxname'] on the receiving end. This is the best way, and most appropriate to this list since it is all PHP. HOWEVER, if the checkboxes are all contained in different forms (each form in a row with its own processing options), then you will need to assign a common name to each element (I usually call mine performMultiple), and then using Javascript loop through all elements on the page, checking for the proper name, and if found then adding the value to a comma-delimited list, the value of which will be set to a hidden input field before the form is submitted.
