I have a form that has 36 checkboxes on it and I need to get the boxes that are checked and insert them into a mysql database. I also need to be able to restrict the user to selecting no more than 2 choices. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? Thanks so much! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
