Multiple selected values from listbox to database


Recommended Posts

Hi ,

I am trying to select multiple values from a listbox and then pass all the selected values into the one field of the database ..i am not able to get that right ..

 

when i add this line of code

 

<select name="source_info[]" size="10" multiple>

 

 

something like "array" is getting stored in the database field instead of the selected items ..can any one help me in this

 

Thanks

hi there

 

in your script(i.e. the one that recieve the array) try to loop through the array

one by one and store each value. to be more clear:

 

let us assume that we are having the following array:

$select

use the following code to loop through array)

foreach ( $select as $mydata)

{

$result = mysql_query("insert into mytable(colsname) values('$mydata')");

}

 

try it and let me know if you need further help

Where exactly does one place this code? For example, I have the array created, but have no clue how to put that array into the database...
