PHP - Help With Adding Checkbox Into Mysql

Hi

I have an array of checkboxes whose values if checked can be updated in mysql. The code I have below accomplishes that just fine.


On my form I have:


print "<form method='post' action='update.php'>\n";

/////// mysQL query here

$myID = $itemRow['myID'];
$chk =  $itemRow['item_shipped'] == 1 ? 'checked' : '';

echo "<input type=checkbox name=cbox[] value='{$itemRow['myID']}' $chk>"; 

echo"</form>"; 




The above code displays various items with a checkbox next to them. So if that checkbox is checked the code below stores that in mysql.


On my update.php page I have:




if(sizeof($_POST['cbox'])) {

//means if at least one check box is selected

foreach($_POST['cbox'] AS $id) { 

mysql_query("UPDATE om SET item_shipped ='1' WHERE myID=$id"); 
} //end foreach

} //end IF 







The problem is though i can check a checkbox and store that value '1' in mysql, I have no way of unchecking an already checked checkbox and storing the '0' in mysql.

Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

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;
}
}

  $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['time'], "text"));

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

  $insertGoTo = "thanks.php";

Hi, basically, here's the deal:
I have a lit of checkboxes that are added by the admin (there's an unlimited amount, just depends on how many are added). Then, those are put in a form, in which the user picks whichever ones need to be chosen and those values get sent to a MySQL table.

Here's the code that displays the checkboxes

Code: [Select]
<?php
$sql="SELECT * FROM category ORDER BY categoryID ASC";
$result=mysql_query($sql); 

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
    echo "<input type='checkbox' id='". $row['categoryName'] ."' name='licensed[]' value='" . $row['categoryID'] ."' /><label for='". $row['categoryName'] ."'><br>" . $row['categoryName'] ."</label><br>";
}
?>
What I'm making now, is an edit form where whichever checkboxes were checked, will show up checked in the edit form. But I'm not really sure how to go about this, since there is only one actual input tag in the code, I can't select the different ones.

I also have this SQL query which selects whichever boxes were inputted into the DB

Code: [Select]
$sql2="SELECT * FROM category, categoryInfo WHERE category.categoryID = categoryInfo.categoryID AND categoryInfo.parentID = $parentID";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);
Where $parentID is the ID of whichever form you're editing.

But yes, I'm basically not really sure how to go about this and would like some help figuring this out

Thanks for your time

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!

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")) {
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)",

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?

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>";

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";
}

Hey guys,

I am trying to input data into a mysql database from data thats been added by a jquery form with cloned fields. It is working however it adds the first row correctly then a blank row and then the rest of the rows correctly

The code is this

$x=0;

do {
$fga=$_POST['ID'.$x.'fga'];
$fgm=$_POST['ID'.$x.'fgm'];
$fta=$_POST['ID'.$x.'fta'];
$ftm=$_POST['ID'.$x.'ftm'];
$tpa=$_POST['ID'.$x.'tpa'];
$tpm=$_POST['ID'.$x.'tpm'];
$fta=$_POST['ID'.$x.'fta'];
$ftm=$_POST['ID'.$x.'ftm'];
$stl=$_POST['ID'.$x.'stl'];
$trb=$_POST['ID'.$x.'trb'];
$ast=$_POST['ID'.$x.'ast'];
$blka=$_POST['ID'.$x.'blka'];
$blkf=$_POST['ID'.$x.'blkf'];
$tovr=$_POST['ID'.$x.'tovr'];

mysql_query("INSERT INTO stats (gameId, fga, fgm, tpa, tpm, fta, ftm, ast, stl, trb, blka, blkf, tovr) VALUES ('$gameId', '$fga', '$fgm', '$tpa', '$tpm', '$fta', '$ftm', '$ast', '$stl', '$trb', '$blka', '$blkf', '$tovr')")or die("<div class='errmsg'>Insert Error: ".mysql_error()."</div><br /> \n");

$x++;

Can anyone see what ive done wrong?

Thanks
