[FX.php List] FMP Checkbox

[Dale Bengston]

Hi Roger,

If you run the field through the php function nl2br() for display, it  
will put them on separate lines. If you would like to display them  
differently, use implode() to break the values into array elements and  
work with them that way.

Details and parameters for nl2br() and implode() are available at http://www.php.net 
  in the function reference.

Hope this helps,
Dale
