PHP - Checkbox And Mysql Struggle!

Hi,

I have this form which will create a checkbox list using data from my database and also determin if a checkbox had been checked before and check if it had.

<form style="text-align:center" name="PrefRestaurant" id="PrefRestaurant" action="preferances_check.php" method="post"><table align="center"> <?php checkbox(id, name, restaurants, id); ?></table>
<input type="submit" name="Prefer" id="Prefer" value="Επιλογή"/></form>
   
function checkbox($intIdField, $strNameField, $strTableName, $strOrderField, $strMethod="asc") {
$strQuery = "select $intIdField, $strNameField
               from $strTableName
               order by $strOrderField $strMethod";
    $rsrcResult = mysql_query($strQuery);


while ($arrayRow = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsrcResult)) {
$testqry = "SELECT * FROM user_restaurant WHERE user_id = $_SESSION[UserId] AND restaurant_id = $arrayRow[id]";
$rsltestqry = mysql_query($testqry);
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($rsltestqry);
if ($numrows == 1) {
echo "<tr align=\"left\"><td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"restaurant[]\" value=\"$arrayRow[id]\" checked/>$arrayRow[name]</td></tr>";
}
else{
echo "<tr align=\"left\"><td><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"restaurant[]\" value=\"$arrayRow[id]\" />$arrayRow[name]</td></tr>";
}
}

}      


Now the part which I can't get to work is when I'm trying to store the new values in my database. When I click the submit button I clear my database of any row that is related to the currently loggedin user and I want to store his new preferences (checked cheboxes). I've read that only the cheked checkboxes' values are POSTed so I did this (preferances_check.php)

foreach($_POST['restaurant']  as  $value)  {
 
 $query="INSERT INTO user_restaurant VALUES ('$_SESSION[UserId]','$value')";
 
} 

But it is not working, nothing gets written in my table Could someone please enlighten me on this? Thnks!

So first of all, I have a confession, I used Dreamweaver to take care of all my database work. Pheww. Now that I got that of my chest, I am having problems, not only with my lack of experience working with databases, but with my script also. I need to insert multiple checkbox values into my database into the same cell. So I have searched around and I thought I had found a fairly good approach, but with Dw's hodgepodge of overcomplicated mess, I am finding problems integrating it. The error I am getting post submission is "Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\wamp\www\gov\ballot.php on line 10
Column 'involvement' cannot be null" So if you would, could you debug my script and give me some instruction along to way so that I can learn a little something too? Here is my script:

<?php require_once('Connections/ballot.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($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "Ballot")) {

  mysql_select_db($database_ballot, $ballot);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $ballot) or die(mysql_error());

  $insertGoTo = "thanks.php";

Thanks,

I want to delete rows in a table of my database using check-box.
Here are my codes below:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$con = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '') or die ('Connection Failed');
mysql_select_db('img', $con) or die ('Connection Failed');
$display = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM photos WHERE email='$lemail'");
echo '<input type="submit" value="Delete" name="del"/>';
echo "<table>
<tr>
<th>#</th>
<th>Images</th>
<th>Image description</th>
<th>Delete</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($display))
{
echo "<tr>";
 echo "<td>".$row['img_ID']."</td>";
  echo "<td><img src='folder/".$row['imaged']."' alt='alt text' width='100' height='100' class='thumb'/> </td>";
echo "<td>".$row['image_description']."</td>";
echo '<td><input type="checkbox" name="delete[]" value="'.$row['img_ID'].'"/></td>';
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
echo "</form>";
if (isset($_POST['delete'])) {
$del = $row['img_ID'];
for($i=0;$i<count($_POST["delete"]);$i++)
{
if($_POST["delete"][$i] != "")
{
$str = "DELETE FROM photos WHERE img_ID='$del' ";
mysql_query($str);
echo "Record Deleted.";
}
} 
}
mysql_close($connect);
?>
Here are the problems:

1/ Not working at all, I mean no image is being deleted
2/ At then end, I display a message that the record has been deleted, but if I check multiple checkbox, it keeps writing the message "Records deleted" multiple times

My images are stored in a folder while its details in database...

Help, thank you 

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")) {

    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($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)",

Ok, so I've spent quite a bit of time piecing together this solution from a variety of sources. As such, I may have something in my code below that doesn't make sense or isn't neccessary. Please let me know if that is the case.

I'm creating an administrative form that users will you to add/remove items from a MySQL table that lists open positions for a facility. The foreach loop generates all of the possible job specialties from a table called 'specialty_list'. This table is joined to a second table ('open_positions') that lists any positions that have been selected previously.

Where I'm stuck is getting the checkbox to be checked if the facility_ID from the open_positions table matches the $id passed in the URL via ?facility_id=''. Here's where I am so far:


$query = "SELECT specialty_list.specialty_displayname
 , specialty_shortname
     , open_positions.position
     , facility_ID
  FROM specialty_list
LEFT OUTER
  JOIN open_positions
    ON open_positions.position = specialty_list.specialty_shortname
ORDER 
    BY specialty_list.specialty_shortname";

$results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) 
{ 
$positions[$row['specialty_shortname']] = $row['specialty_displayname'];
}

echo "<form method='POST' action='checkbox.php'>";
foreach($positions as $specialty_shortname => $specialty_displayname) 
{
$facility_ID = $row['facility_ID'];
  
$checked = $facility_ID == $row['facility_ID'] ? ' checked' : ''; 

echo "<input type='checkbox' name='position[]' value=\"{$specialty_shortname}\"{$checked}>&nbsp;&nbsp;{$specialty_displayname}</input><br/>"; 

}  
echo "<input type='hidden' name='facility_ID' value='$id'>";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit Checkboxes!'>";
echo "</form>";


Any ideas how to get this working? I feel like I'm very close, but I just can't get it. I also tried starting from scratch with a WHILE statement instead of a FOREACH, but haven't tweaked it enough to prevent duplicate checkboxes. With that in mind, here it is, just in case that's a better direction:


$query = "SELECT specialty_list.specialty_displayname
 , specialty_shortname
     , open_positions.position
     , facility_ID
  FROM specialty_list
LEFT OUTER
  JOIN open_positions
    ON open_positions.position = specialty_list.specialty_shortname
ORDER 
    BY specialty_list.specialty_shortname";

$results = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "<form method='POST' action='checkbox.php'>";

while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($results))
{ 
$facility_ID = $row['facility_ID'];
$specialty_shortname = $row['specialty_shortname'];
$specialty_displayname = $row['specialty_displayname'];


if ($facililty_ID==$id) {

$checked=' checked';
}

echo "<input type='checkbox' name='position[]' value=\"$specialty_shortname\"$checked>&nbsp;&nbsp;$specialty_displayname</input><br/>"; 
}

echo "<input type='hidden' name='facility_ID' value='$id'>";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit Checkboxes!'>";
echo "</form>";

have a database with a column of datatype EM (multiple selection, say apples, oranges, grapes)

I want to have a form with checkboxes for those values (apples, oranges, grapes etc) so one can select a breakfast basket type that contains for example, oranges and grapes.

It would pull from the database those baskets with those selection of fruits (specified in the column 'Fruits', which is a EM datatype column. (I have a multiple selection when entering the values for the column.)

Can it be done? Should I make another table with FruitNames?

Hey guys, I can't wrap my head around how to make this work right...

I have three tables:
Code: [Select]
CREATE TABLE `games` (
  `g_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`g_id`));

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `game_player` (
  `r_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `p_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `g_id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `bool` int(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`r_id`));

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `players` (
  `p_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `playerid` varchar(150) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`p_id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `playerid` (`playerid`));

The players table is my list of users, and they're tied to the list of games via the game_player table.

So here's my issue... I'm trying to show the full list of games, and then check mark each record where the player does play it. 
This is what I have so far - it shows all the games,  but it's not checking the boxes.

Code: [Select]
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM games") or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$newquery = "SELECT * FROM game_player, players
WHERE game_player.p_id = players.p_id
AND game_player.g_id = ".$row['g_id']. "
AND players.playerid = {$userid}";
$query = mysql_query($newquery) or die(mysql_error());
if($query['bool'] == 1) { $set_checked = " CHECKED";
}
else{ $set_checked = "";
}
echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"box1\" value=\"".$query['g_id']."\"" . $set_checked . "/>".$row['name']."<br />\n";
}

I'm having a problem on how to get the values of those that are checked in my table.. so that i can insert them in my database. Someone help get those values pls.

Heres my code

Code: [Select]
<?php
$host="localhost"; 
$username="root"; 
$password="";
$db_name="dbprof";
$tbl_name="teacher"; 

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
echo '<form name="formupload" method="post" action="val3.php">';
echo "<table border=\"5\" >";
echo "<tr><th>List of Instructor</th>";
    if(mysql_num_rows($result)) 
    { 
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
    { 
echo "<tr><td>";
    echo "<input type='checkbox' name='list' 'value='" .$row['fullname']. "'> " .$row['fullname']. "<br/></td>"; 
    echo "</tr>";
   } 

}
    else {
    echo "<tr><td>No one to Approve</td></tr>";  
    } 
echo '<input type="image" src="images/reject.png" name="test" width="170" height="35" border="0" value="reject">';
echo '</form>';


?>

I dont know what to put in my val3.php'
so that it can the values of the Checked data. thanks for those who can help.

Here is the 'want' right now:

I have a database with a table for customers and another one for projects. I want the user to have the ability to select which customer they want to be associated with their project. I understand how to do this logically (set up of the tables relationships) but I cant seem to figure out how to do this via checkbox arrays. For example, there should be a list of checkboxes with the values being pulled from the customer database. Whichever customers are selected, their IDs should get placed into a row in the project table called cust id. So the project table would read like the following:

ID: 1
Project ID: 3-002-055
Customer ID: Whatever the ID number is in the customers table (I have customer IDs being pulled from the URL)

ID: 2
Project ID: 3-002-055 (same as above)
Customer ID: Whatever the ID number is

So in this case, both customers are working on the same project.

With that being said, I know for a fact that this is possible via some kind of checkbox statement. Something that pretty much says the following (I already started my lame attempt at coding this....I am no expert to bare with me!):

Code: [Select]
<?php 

$staff_id = $_SESSION['sid'];

$company_id = $_GET['cid'];
$company_id  = mysql_real_escape_string($company_id );
$company_id = eregi_replace("`", "", $company_id);


$sql = mysql_query("SELECT contact_fname, contact_lname FROM contact_info WHERE company_id='$company_id'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){

$contact_fname = $row["contact_fname"];
$contact_lname = $row["contact_lname"];

$select_contacts .= "
<input name=\"contacts[]\" type=\"checkbox\" value=\"' . $contact_fname . ' ' . $contact_lname . '\" /><br /><br />

<input name=\"submit_contacts\" type=\"submit\">
";

}
?>

This is where I am lost at. How do I say that whenever anything is checked, grab the value and store it into the database but in a separate record???

function get_checked($variable, $status){
	
	if($variable == $status){
		return 'checked="checked"';
	}else{
		return '';
	}
} 

<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"emailNewsletter\" value=\"Yes\" ".get_checked($emailNewsletter, 'Yes').">
<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"emailInbox\" value=\"Yes\" ".get_checked($emailInbox, 'Yes').">

$emailNewsletter = isset($_POST['emailNewsletter']) ? filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'emailNewsletter') : 'No';
$emailInbox = isset($_POST['emailInbox']) ? filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'emailInbox') : 'No';

If no submit button clicked display mysql information $userInfo['emailInbox'] instead of 'NO' . How to do that?
