hi, i need some help on inserting checkbox values into the mysql database.
what sort of data type should i use for mysql to store these?
for example
i need to insert a few hobbies as checkbox
1.basketball
2.football
3.hockey
i need to be able to perform a search and retrieve these checkbox values.
You can do something like this
1.the form
<input type=checkbox name=hobbie[] value="">then when Inserting to myslq use Array))
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
include ('dbc.php');
if ($_POST['Submit'] == 'Register')
{
//validation
/*
//check if username exist
$rs_duplicates = mysql_query("select id from users where user_email='$_POST[email]'");
$duplicates = mysql_num_rows($rs_duplicates);
if ($duplicates > 0)
{
//die ("ERROR: User account already exists.");
header("Location: register.php?msg=ERROR: User account already exists..");
exit();
*/
}
/*
$md5pass = md5($_POST['pass2']);
$activ_code = rand(1000,9999);
$server = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
$host = ereg_replace('www.','',$server);
*/
mysql_query("INSERT INTO check
(`team`)
VALUES
('$_POST[sports]')") or die(mysql_error());

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'check(team) VALUES ('football')' at line 1
my table contains two fields
1. "id" auto increment, not null
2. "team" varchar
is there something wrong with this setup ?
this is mysql data
Field Type Collation Attributes Null Default Extra
id int(11) none none No None auto_increment
team varchar(100) latin1_swedish_ci none No None none
how about this ??
$insert="INSERT INTO check SET team='$team'";
mysql_query($insert) or die(mysql_error());You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'check SET team='football'' at line 1
same thing... :(
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'check SET team='football'' at line 1
even when i check all the 3 box, the value of team is equals to football....shouldn't it be all 3 as a string?
The Code i wrote i guess everything is OK!
i hope somebody else can Help.
