 * Hi there,
 * I’m looking to create a form that’ll let users select from check boxes what categories
   they want the posts that will be displayed to come from, then have a button that’ll
   submit it and process the wp_query loop with a new variable that has been created
   based upon the selection. So far, I’ve got the code to get the right files, but
   can’t find a way to do it dynamically, or string the variables togther and seperate
   them with commas. The checkboxes will each relate to a category ID. Anyway, here
   is the code:
 *     ```
       <?php $count="1" ?>
       <?php
       query_posts(array('category__and' => array($count)));
       ?>
   
       <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
       <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
       <div class="topPost">
   
         <h2 class="topTitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
       <?php the_content(); ?>
       <span class="topMore"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">more...</a></span>
       <div class="cleared"></div>
       </div> <!-- Closes topPost --><br />
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <?php else : ?>
   
       <div class="topPost">
         <h2 class="topTitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Not Found</a></h2>
         <div class="topContent"><p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. You can search again by using <a href="#searchform">this form</a>...</p></div>
       </div> <!-- Closes topPost -->
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * Any help would be greatly appeciated. Been after this for a while actually, think
   it could really benifit a lotta people.
 * Cheers,
 * Challis
