check box re-population
http://24.91.157.113/findyourdesire/phpTest/control.php
click on interests. that's the section this is in, with some debugging lines added.
i realized after adding that it's not my repopulation function, but the arrays. i just don't understand why the arrays are causing an issue.
(this is where the issue is.. this has been edited to remove the horizontal scroll)

/* update db with new selections (for interests that have selections) and then retrieve
the new entries */
