retrive answers to questionaire?

have to do a questionaire thingy, going to do a bunch of checkboxes beside each question then have a button to sumbit when all is done. Is there a quick way to round up the results i.e whether a box has been checked or not after the submit button is used, about 40 questions?

something like.

for each checkbox
if checkbox = checked then
question number x = true
and write that number to a file or so.

thanks

no idea?

I have basically have,

HTML Code:

---

<FORM action=http://myip/verify.php method=post>

  <LI><INPUT type=checkbox value=17 name=q> q1
  <LI><INPUT type=checkbox value=18 name=q> q2
  <LI><INPUT type=checkbox value=19 name=q> q3
  <LI><INPUT type=checkbox value=20 name=q> q4
  <LI><INPUT type=checkbox value=21 name=q> q5

  <INPUT type=submit value="Submit your results">

</FORM>
