handling checkboxes

Good afternoon,

 

How would I handle inserting checkboxes into a mysql database? 

 

I have a form which has a list of services in checkbox format as well as other fields and I want to save the values to a database but I want to be able to query the database by service if needs be. 

 

How do I deal with multiple services from checkboxes? Would I create another table called 'services' for example with columns - 'service1','service2','service3' etc etc and a unique id relating to my contact table?

 

Thank you for your help.

 

Kind regards,

 

L2c

You would have three tables

 

Contact

    contactid |  contactname | etc

 

Service

    serviceid | servicename | etc

 

ContactService

    id | contactid | serviceid

 

ContactService would contain a row for each service offered by each contact
