Multiple Forms on One Page - Process Posts???
Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 3:00 pm
Hi, I have two forms on a single page. i have used some Javascript I found on the internet to process checkboxes. I can't get the two arrays $home and $work to
pick up the $_POST information. It seems to get the last information only.
Really hope someone can help. driving me crazy for two days.
Thanks in advance
Rick P. PS: Sorry, had to put code here - Upload file thingee won't let me upload the file. Won't allow file extension - there is none ?????
