TiwstedNy Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) Hello, I have been looking all over the internet for example on how to filter a query using multiple check boxes. To best explain what I need I believe showing you an example is the best way to go about it. http://www.whirlpool.com/Kitchen-1/Kitchen_Refrigeration_Refrigerators-3/102110023+102110368/ If you click on the link you will notice on the left side of the page there is a filter results section that allows you to pick and choose what you want. I want to learn how to filter my query using multiple checkboxes I will post my code below and would appreciate any help. <!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta name="Author" content=""> <meta name="Keywords" content=""> <meta name="Description" content=""> <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Bree+Serif" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <link href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lusitana' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> <title>Quailty Appliances</title> </head> <body> <?php include 'config/header.php';
