i'm posting a form to itself and using the session to store values. the script doesn't insert/update any details to database if the criteria isn't met. that said, i have some check boxes that i can't get to work here is the code.

this goes at the top of the script to set the session and gain the values.

if(isset($_POST['activities'])) {$_SESSION['activities'] = $_POST['activities']; $activities =  $_SESSION['activities']; } else { $activities = ""; } 

these loops contain the checkboxes retrieving the data back from the database
//Activity checkboxes tag

$acti = mysql_query("select * from activity order by activity");
$html .= "<td  style='width:20%'>Activities:</td><td><table style='width:100%' class=login><tr>\n";

        $html .= "<td align=\"left\" width=\"25%\" valign=\"top\" >";
        for($ok = 1; $ok <= mysql_num_rows($acti);$ok ++)
    { 
        $acy = mysql_fetch_array($acti);
         $html .= "<input type=checkbox class=check name=activities[]  value=" . $acy[0] . ($activities == $acy[0] ? " checked " : "") . " /> $acy[1]<br>\n";
         if($ok===4){break; $html .= "<tr></tr>"; continue;}                                 
    }                                                                                      
    $html .= "</td>";

I don't think [] is allowed in an attribute value without being quoted.
