Hi Monks, I am having a slight problem in using the param function in cgi. I have a web page with the following 
lots of rubbish here
<FORM ACTION="test.cgi" METHOD="POST"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">

<input type="checkbox" name="option_and" value="AND">ANDfilter<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="option_or" value="OR">ORfilter<br>
      <INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="Submit" VALUE="Submit">
      </FORM>

[download]
in test.cgi i want to confirm which checkbox was checked 
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>TEST</title></head>";

$queryand = new CGI;
@array_and = $queryand->param('option_and');
@array_or = $queryand->param('option_or');

if (@array_and = 'AND') {print "<P>FilterAND = @array_filter";}

if (@array_or = 'OR') {print "<P>FilterOR = @array_filter_or";}

print "</html>";

[download]
However, when i check the OR box test.cgi prints FilterAND not FilterOR. Any suggestions? Thanks
