I've set up the following loop to print a set checkboxes:

foreach $counter (0 .. $#questions) { if ($radio_checkbox[$counter] eq "c") { print "$questno[$counter]. $questions[$counter] <BR>"; @labels = split (/,/, $selections[$counter]); foreach $counter2 (0 .. $#labels) { print '<BR><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="checkbox" VALUE=$counter2>$labels[$counter2]'; } print br; }
Here is a sample of my output:
1. What are three items found in the kitchen? $labels[$counter2] $labels[$counter2] $labels[$counter2] $labels[$counter2] $labels[$counter2] $labels[$counter2]
The checkboxes themselves are coming out ok, even though this does not show them. However, neither the value for $labels or the value for $counter2 is being printed. How can I set up checkboxes with various values and labels based on an array? Thanks. BTW, I couldn't get the brackets to print around my array elements for this post.
