multiple option in checkbox

[hbhaskar]

for passing on multiple values through a variable, i used the following command within a form

$query = "SELECT * FROM case_query where case_no='$case_no'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
extract($row);
// queue_owner and query_id are the fields in table case_query
 echo "<tr><td ><input type='checkbox' name='C1'  value='$queue_owner'></td><td >$query_id</td><td>$queue_owner</td><td><input type='text'  name='reference'></td></tr>";
}

now When i submit and check 2 boxes (say)....i get only d values for last box....also value by the name "reference" comes blank
can u help?

of course you do, the last one overrides the previous ones if the have the same name. you can create an array by using [] in the name: <input name="exampe[]">

also value by the name "reference" comes blank

if there is no text put into the field, of course.
