Thanks for all the feedback

However I am still confused. Let me

In QUESTION.PHP I have records displayed from a MySQL database table in an
HTML table and a check box for each record as follows



*************************************************************

<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="<? echo
$QuestionNo?>"
*****************************************************************



I also have a form and a button as follows, which is suposed to run
FILTER.PHP



**********************************************************

<form name="form1" method=post action="Filter.php">

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

*************************************************************



I am unsure of the script to use in the SQL of FILTER.PHP to filter records
based on the ticked checkboxs

FILTER.PHP has the following SQL (which is obviously wrong). Basically I am
not sure how to use the array from QUESTION.PHP to filter records in
FILTER.PHP



******************************************************

<?php

$filtered = @mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Questions WHERE QuestionNo IN ( " .
join(",", $_REQUEST['$QUESTION_NOS_FROM_THE_ARRAY']) . " )";



if (!$filtered) {
exit('<p>Error performing query: ' . mysql_error() . '</p>');
}
$filteredrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($filtered);
extract($filteredrow);



// Display the text of each Question in a paragraph





//while ($filteredrow = mysql_fetch_array($filtered)) {
// echo '<p>' . $filteredrow['QuestionNo'] . '</p>';
//}
?>

***********************************************
