Hi,
I am unable to check the checkboxes with database values.
My table stores the data in below format. I want that when i load the form "useraccess.php" it check the access allowed ealier to the logged user and check the check boxes accordingly.

uid = 1
allowaccess = New User
url = newuser.php
-----------
uid = 1
allowaccess = New Product
url = New Product.php
-----------
uid = 2
allowaccess = New User
url = newuser.php

I tried this code but unable to get desired result.

1st method

<input type="checkbox" id="chk[]" name="chk[]" value="New User" <?php if ($access['allowaccess'] =='New User') echo 'checked="checked"'; ?>/>New User

---------------------

2nd method

<input type="checkbox" id="chk[]" name="chk[]" value="New Product" <?php if($access['allowaccess']=='New Product') {?> checked="checked" <?php }?>/>New Product

How are you pushing the data to the next page - via Posts or Gets? That's the key. You can call the same page in a form and either use POST or GET values (POST values are not visible in the URL) and then obtain their values in your code via $_POST['name'] or $_GET['name'] constructs.

If this is confusing, let me know and I can give some examples.

Thanks for the reply.
My full code is as under

<?php 
    session_start();
    $id=$_GET['uid']; 
    //Getting Data from users of the selected user
    include_once ('../conn.php');
    $sql="Select uname, ulevel, fullname, uid from users where uid = '".$id."'";
    $res=mysql_query($sql,$con);
    $row=mysql_fetch_array($res);

     //Getting Data from USERACCESS table
    $sql="Select * from useraccess where uid = '".$id."'";
    $res=mysql_query($sql,$con) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
    $access=mysql_fetch_array($res);

/*  while ($access=mysql_fetch_array($res))
    {
        echo "<h2>" . $access[1] . "</h2>"; 
    }
*/
    if($_POST['submit']) 
    { 
        include_once ('../conn.php');
        $sid=$_POST['tuid'];
        $chkd = $_POST['chk'];
        for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($chkd); $i++) 
        {
            $sql="insert into useraccess values('".$sid."', '".$chkd[$i]."', '".$chkd[$i]."')";
            $res=mysql_query($sql,$con) or die("Error " . mysql_error(). "<br>");

            echo $chkd[$i]."<br>";
        }

    }

DONE it by putting the database values to array, and search the arry while CHECK the checkbox. Check the below code with green color

<?php 
    session_start();
    $id=$_GET['uid']; 

    //Getting Data from table users of the selected user
    include_once ('../conn.php');
    $sql="Select uname, ulevel, fullname, uid from users where uid = '".$id."'";
    $res=mysql_query($sql,$con);
    $row=mysql_fetch_array($res);

     //Getting Data from USERACCESS table
    $sql="Select * from useraccess where uid = '".$id."'";
    $qry=mysql_query($sql,$con) or die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
    $count=mysql_num_rows($qry);
    if ($count >=1) 
    {
        while ($a = mysql_fetch_array($qry)) 
        {
            $ary=$a[1];
            $myvals[]=$ary;
        }
    } 


/*  while ($access=mysql_fetch_array($qry))
    {
        echo "<h6>" . $access[1] . "</h6>"; 
    }
*/
    if($_POST['submit']) 
    { 
        include_once ('../conn.php');
        $sid=$_POST['tuid'];
        $chkd = $_POST['chk'];
    //Deleteing the old data for the selected user
        if ($count >= 1) 
        {
            $sql="Delete from useraccess where uid = '".$sid."'";
            $res=mysql_query($sql,$con) or die("Error :" . mysql_error());
        }   

        for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($chkd); $i++) 
        {
            $sql="insert into useraccess values('".$sid."', '".$chkd[$i]."', '".$chkd[$i]."')";
            $res=mysql_query($sql,$con) or die("Error " . mysql_error());

//          echo $chkd[$i]."<br>";       /Show saved data
