Multipage form, checkbox, php, hidden field

[virtualrush]

hey, just saw your php community and wondering if u cud help me out

I have a multipage form, that can be accessed in any order.
I have many checkboxes that need filling in, and that need to be carried over to the next forms or previous ones to be filled. They should remember their state when each page is looked at.

I have tried using hidden fields with no effect(affect!), this is wot ive done then ive tried to fill in the checkbox from the the hidden field value:

<input <?php if (!(strcmp($_POST['dal'],"dal"))) {echo "checked";} ?> name="dal" type="checkbox" id="dal" value="<?php echo $_POST['dal']; ?>">


Im new to php, gave it my best shot, so any help on this would be great,

thanks alot folks.

There are people here that can help. You need to make it something like the following:
<input type="hidden" name="CHECKBOXNAME" value="<?=CHECKBOXNAME;?>">

That will correctly pass the variable to the same pages. Make sure that is inside the <form></form> tags.
