[FX.php List] Problem re-submitting checkboxes to FM7

[William Akey]

Thanks for your response. Sorry, I figured that would be understood. When I
said I was submitting $FieldName back to the database, I meant the result of
using:

$FieldName = $_POST['FieldName'];

on the page where I am actually doing the FMEdit().

William
