Form with check boxes?

[akphotography]

I want to make a form where the user can check boxes...and fill out a mini form....how do i make the check boxes and with PHP how do i keep track of which ones they have checked?

same with text boxes, the id's and names give you access to each one but for each text box you also have to give a value, I normally give each value a digit then in the next PHP page work out what the digit value means.

here is an example:
here is how you create a checkbox:

<form action="main.php" method="POST" target="" name="relations_form">

<input type="checkbox" value="is_client" name="is_client" <?php if( $relation_row->is_client == 1 ) echo "CHECKED"; ?> > client </input>
</form>


now for the posted variable:

if( isSet( $_POST['is_client'] ) )
{
$relation_row->is_client = 1;
}
else
{
$relation_row->is_client = 0;
}

oke that 's it have fun...
