Only one checkbox value gets submitted  (See more user questions)

Hi .

Good to hear from you.

For PHP you need to name the checkboxes with square backets to denote it's
an array, like so:

<p><INPUT type=checkbox name="swimmer1_events[]" value="25_Free">25 yd
Free</td>
<td width"140">
<p><INPUT type=checkbox name="swimmer1_events[]" value="25_Fly">25 yd
Fly</p></td> </tr>

Any questions, just let me know.

Best wishes.
