PHP - Checkboxes In Form Are Not Inserting To Mysql
I built a series of insertion forms to put entries into a mysql database. Everything is working fine, except that I just now realized my checkboxes don't put any entry in. It's just leaving it's respective smallint field as a default "0". Being new, I've must've overlooked how to handle these.
The form's checkboxes have a bit of code in the value that remembers what users chose in case they have to backtrack and redo their form. How would I solve the problem and keep this code? Here's what all the checkboxes are written like: Code: [Select] <input type="checkbox" name="green_leaf" value="<?php if(isset($_POST['1'])) echo $_POST['1']; ?>" > green Similar TutorialsCode: [Select] $query = "INSERT INTO contactv3(name,email,msg) VALUES ('$name','$email','$msg')"; $result = mysql_query( $query ); if( !$result ) { die( mysql_error() ); } I have this current php snippet inserting the $name and $msg into a mysql db. $name and $msg come from here (a form that the user fills out). Code: [Select] <input type="text" size=28 name="name"> <input type="password" size=28 name="msg" > but is it possible to also enter the URL or perhaps a parameter that is appended to the end of the URL into the mysql db into separate column? So I've spent 2 days now searching the web on how to make my checkbox array on my form insert the value selected by the user into my database. Here is the code that I've written. All fields except for the checkbox array works fine. <?php virtual('/budgets/Connections/connAdmin.php'); ?> <?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { if (PHP_VERSION < 6) { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; } $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } } $editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']); } if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $workStyle = $_POST['art_photos']; // Setting up a blank variable to be used in the coming loop. $allStyles = ""; // For every checkbox value sent to the form. foreach ($workStyle as $style) { // Append a string called $allStyles with the current array element, and then add a comma and a space at the end. $allStyles .= $style . ", "; } // Delete the last two characters from the string. $allStyles = substr($allStyles, 0, -2); echo "<p>The resulting string is: <strong>$allStyles</strong></p>\r\n"; } if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) { $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO daily_budget (rundate, slug, reporter, budgetInfo, notes, `section`, deadline, art_photos sidebar, sBudget) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", GetSQLValueString($_POST['rundate'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['slug'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['reporter'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['budgetInfo'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['notes'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['section'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['deadline'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['art_photos'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['sidebar'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['sBudget'], "text"));

The post form will have six radio buttons to the right of the fields pulled with the key posted but hidden and will wirte to another table.

[= I don't have much time to read through all of the forums, because I'm on a time crunch and I'll be putting this certain project behind a couple others while I wait for some answers. This project is confusing me a bit, because I haven't worked much with arrays and the good ol' checkbox, so I need some help getting this to work. This project requires me to set-up a checkbox next to each order that was pulled off a database. You are allowed to select as many checkboxes as you'd like, and then click on the "process receipts" for all of the orders that were selected. I need to be able to have the form send me straight to a new page that pulls a loop of receipts one after another. I have the receipts built, and I can access a receipt one at a time based off the ID of a certain order, and I can easily build a loop that presents the receipts. I'm just having a problem pulling the information off the database based from the checkbox array. If you can give me some ideas on where to start with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Note: Example is inside a hidden administrative page. Can't really give you something to play with, sorry! QQ Thanks! Alex D.A. Designing I was fiddling around with php and concerning data in a mysql database. All I was wanting to understand was being able to remove values with cheking multiple items in outputted html list. One that reads a set of values from a database, then displays a check box allowing the user to delete such values, that's it basically, here is my script I used to do it: Code: [Select] <?php function deleteRow($value) { $sql = "DELETE FROM checkbox WHERE value LIKE '$value'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); } if(array_key_exists('delete', $_POST)){ if(isset($_POST['value'])) { $count = count($_POST['value']); $connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'jeremy', 's56pj989'); if($connect) { $select_db = mysql_select_db('test'); if($select_db) { for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){ // print 'This is item = '.$_POST['value'][$i]; // outputs fine if(strlen($_POST['value'][$i]) > 0) { deleteRow($_POST['value'][$i]); } } } } } } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <form id="myform" name="myform" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> <?php if($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '192.168.0.2') { // printf("<p>Yes you have connected to this script successfully!</p>"); $connect = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mydbuser', 'mydatabasepassword'); if($connect) { // printf("<p>You have now connected to the database, well done!</p>"); $select_db = mysql_select_db('test'); if($select_db) { // printf("<p>Selected database now</p>"); $sql = 'SELECT * FROM checkbox'; $result = mysql_query($sql); if($result) { if(mysql_num_rows($result)>0){ while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { printf("%s <input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"value[]\" value=\"%s\">\n<br />\n", $row['value'], $row['value']); } } else { printf("<p>No rows in system!</p>"); } } } } } ?> <input type="submit" id="delete" name="delete" value="Delete" /> </form> </body> </html> There must be a better way shouldn't there? I am not too concerned with error checking, ie if result of removing the values doesnt work, since I will just use this as an example of how to do this. Going on from that, how would I allow it to update a set of say changed values, just purely out of interest, pretty happy since it works though this script. But I was also wondering if there's some easy way of updating a set of values perhaps? Hmm good though and I look forward to any replies, Jeremy. Hey all... I'm running into a problem here. If you take a look at the code for this, you'll see it's to enter "horses" into a "class." It's all fine and dandy except I'm trying to get the way the horses are selected to have a different option. Right now they exist as a drop down/select option where you have to choose one at a time and enter submit. My goal is to have checkboxes that users can toggle and submit them all at once (with the rest of the eligibility checks etc still applicable). I've looked it up and the problem is, each user has a different amount of horses, so I can't account for all of them manually. Could someone help me out? On DaniWeb a user was trying to help me with an implode option, but I have zero idea how to work with that. I will literally need my hand to be held through this one. Thank you in advance - I have been trying to do this myself for a good chunk of the day, but my PHP skills are quite limited.

What I am trying to do is have a checkbox next to each user (row) that when I check them and hit submit at the bottom, it will change the value of each row on the 'Closed' column to 'y' so it will not be displayed when the page is refreshed.

Here is the code that inserts a yes no option... Code: [Select] <select name = "consent"> <option value = "Yes" <?php if ($_POST['consent'] == 'Yes') { echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?>>Yes</option> <option value = "No" <?php if ($_POST['consent'] == 'No') { echo 'selected="selected"'; } ?>>No</option> </select> However, I have been asked if I can make it a yes or no checkbox instead. Please can you tell me how I need to code it so that the "yes" or "no" is recorded in the DB. At the moment I just have this Code: [Select] <input name="consent" type="checkbox" value="Yes" />Yes<br /> <input name="consent" type="checkbox" value="No" />No<br /> Thanks in advance VinceG I have figured out far enough to loop through my table and return a list of check boxes that will be matched to a product. My issue now, is i cannot figure out the proper way to loop through them after they are selected and return them as checked/unchecked for the given product. Thought there is some MySQL involved, that part isn't the problem, I know how to insert into a database or update...when the product is selected from a drop down, I need to be able to populate the checkboxes. Here is the code i am using to initially display all of the categories to choose from... <ul class="categories"> <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM products"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $category = $row['category']; $catId = $row['id']; echo "<li><input class='catCheck' type='checkbox' name='p_cat[]' value='$catId' /> $category</li>"; } ?> </ul> Thanks guys.... I have a table in a mysql database with 5 columns, id, Name, Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, with rows that are for example 1, Galaxy S2, yes, yes, yes. So basically i want to build a form that has check boxes (3 checkboxes for wifi bluetooth and GPS respectively) that once selected will query the database depending on which check boxes are selected.

If you have any questions or i need to explain more please let me know Thanks in advance Hi, Does anyone have any idea how to insert an entire php or html pages into mysql once the page has being created with php? E.g. np1.php <form action="np2.php" method="post"> Name of New Page: <input type="text" name="newpage_name" /> <input type="submit" /> </form> np2.php <?php $newpage_name = $_POST[ 'newpage_name' ]; $newpage_initial = "Input Contents Here."; //echo $editor_data; $newpage_file = "test/" . $newpage_name . ".php"; $newpage_save = fopen($newpage_file, 'w'); fwrite($newpage_save, $newpage_initial); fclose($newpage_save); ?> I have managed to create a new file with php but I also want it when I click on the submit button, it will also auto save that new php file or html file into mysql. Regards Jas Thanks for reading my post, Can someone point me to the right direction here; Am trying to insert a record in a text area field into PHP/MYSQl. This time around, I am reading what the user entered into the textarea before inserting. Take a look at this: TEXTAREA -> row 1: BOY row 2: GIRL Can I make it two rows in my database as opposed to one? I don't have a problem inserting, just how to insert as multiple if there are two rows. Thanks in advance Hi, I am having difficulty deleting rows in my table using check boxes. I have all the check boxes displaying for each row and a delete button below the table. However when i click on the delete button it isnt deleting the checked rows, i have displayed the code below that i am using; Code: [Select] <?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM contact ORDER BY msg_id ASC"); echo "<table border='1'> <tr> <th>Delete</th> <th>Message ID</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Email</th> <th>Message</th> </tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { ?> <td align="center" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><input name="checkbox[]" type="checkbox" id="checkbox[]" value="<?php echo $row['del_id']; ?>"></td> <?php echo "<td>" . $row['msg_id'] .
