need some help ….how to validate this form……..

not entirely a javascript question as some PHP is envolved as well but …:

The pasted bellow code is a simple order form which I intend to validate ;
There will be lots of checkbox (script would have to be lithe to comply with a variable number of checkbox );
, 8 x input texts (one of which an email field to be validated on email format ) and 1 x select name ;

[U]Perhaps a javascript would be a simpler solution ,[/U] but I´ve encountered the following difficulty :
– name of the checkbox inputs are the same for all : name=”check[]” – it makes impossible to identify every checkbox
on javascript ;
– I think it´s got to be changed including the way these lines are written :

foreach( (array)$_POST[‘check’] as $value){
check_msg .= “Checked: $valuen”;

Any help would be welcome
Cheers
