mysql populated checkbox

[Horsemad_Gilly]

Hi

I have an updated form with information coming from mysql, I one section which I want to set up as checkboxes

I have chosen to store the checkbox values in a separate table this holds the foreign keys to two other tables ie:

Tables 

Disciplines  (which holds the descriptions of the disciplines), Events

And 3rd table called EventDisc this will have 3 fields all INT's with 2 foreign keys for Disciplines and Events.

I have a few questions

1.) With this method I will be needing to update two tables ideally within the same form,  is this possible?

2.) I did source some code at this link  http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/laflamme20001016.php3?page=1 but could not get it working,  does anyone know of any other places for tutorials on  a.) populating checkboxs from a mysql table and then inserting and updating the checkboxes.?

I have the following code that generates all the checkboxes for rows coming from my Discipline table

                              <?php
                                       $discipline_set = finddisciplines();
                                    while ($dislist = mysql_fetch_assoc ($discipline_set)) {
                                        echo '<input type="checkbox" '.$dislist['dis_id']. '"'; ?>
                                        <?php if ((isset ($_POST ['dis_id']) || ($dislist['dis_id']) == $url_eventid ['dis_id'])) {
                                            ?>checked="checked" <?php } ?>
                                            <?php echo '>'.$dislist['dis_description'].'<br />';
                                    } ?>

However, I understand I need to allocate a name to each row from my table to then $_POST them into the table called EventDisc, each checkbox would generate a separate row in EventDisc.  This is as far as I have got so far and not sure how to make the next steps.
