[Zope] dtml-if question

[Kyroraz]

Thanks for the reply ...

but I don't think this is quite what I am going for....

Assume that I have two webpages, page A and page B...

Page A is a form-filled page:

<form name="stuff" action="b">
<input type="checkbox" name="item1">Item 1 <BR>
<input type="checkbox" name="item2">Item 2 <BR>
<input type="submit">
</form>

Page B contains the code to look in a SQL database.  Inside this 
database, one of the columns contains information in relation to item1 
and item2 that has to be set in "b" somehow.  If the user selects 
checkbox 1, item1 will be defined.  Likewise for item2.  Both can be set 
as well.

<dtml-in sql_process>
<dtml-if <dtml-var check_to_see_if_this_column_exists_with_the_passed_form>>
  Exists.
<dtml-else>
  Does not exist.
</dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

I need the value of 
check_to_see_if_this_column_exists_with_the_passed_form parsed so that 
the dtml-if can "see" it....  

If the table contains

Name | Value | ...

item1   50
item2   75

And replace that long 
check_to_see_if_this_column_exists_with_the_passed_form with name, for 
example, it should go through the table, see "name" and then try to see 
if "item1" was passed from the form.

Tricky.
