littlevisuals Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi guys, I seem to be doing something wrong. At current the script inserts a checked category number into the table images_catlu into the cat_ID field and the image_ID field. How do I modyfy it to insert multiple checked data into the table? Not in the same field, but multiple rows of all the checked data Here is the code <?php include("connect.php"); mysql_select_db("work"); $cat_ID = $_POST['cat_id']; $image_ID = $_POST['image_id']; $result = mysql_query("SELECT cat_ID FROM categories"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT image_ID FROM categories"); $query = "INSERT INTO image_catlu (cat_ID, image_ID) VALUES ('$cat_ID', '$image_ID')"; <?php if (isset($_POST['cat_id', 'image_id'])) { $categories = ""; for ($i=0; $i < count($_POST['cat_id']); $i++) { $categories = $categories . $_POST['cat_id'][$i] . " "; } $results = mysql_query($query) or die ("Could not execute query : $query." . mysql_error()); ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>CHECKBOX</title> </head> <body> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> <table> <tr> </tr> <?php $sql = "SELECT id,cat FROM catorgories ORDER by id ASC"; "SELECT id,id FROM gallery"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); while(list($id,$cat)=mysql_fetch_row($result)){ echo '<tr><td>'.$cat.'</td><td><input type="checkbox" name="cat_id" value="'.$id.'"

MadTechie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 your need to change the html so the checkbox becomes an array change the name value like name="cat_id[]" then of course $_POST['cat_id']; will also be an array, so you can loop that, for example foreach($_POST['cat_id'] as $cat_ID) { $query = "INSERT INTO image_catlu (cat_ID, image_ID) VALUES ('$cat_ID', '$image_ID')"; $results = mysql_query($query) } however i have no idea where $image_ID is coming from or what your attempting to do here $sql = "SELECT id,cat FROM catorgories ORDER by id ASC"; "SELECT id,id FROM gallery"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167945-solved-inserting-many-values-using-a-loop/#findComment-885762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlevisuals Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thankyou for the reply, this is a snippet of the whole script it belongs to. The rest of the form is for uploading an image then adding details like title, description etc and I wanted to have multiple categories with them The image_ID will be a value when the rest of the form is processed so in image_catlu I have something like this cat_ID Image_ID 5 107 6 107 5 108 Then the image can have multiple cats. Im just going to make the changes you have posted Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167945-solved-inserting-many-values-using-a-loop/#findComment-885766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
