jcstanley Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hi I have a form with 8 checkboxes on it. When a checkbox is checked the value = 1. eg. <input type="checkbox" name="yes" value="1"> The values from the form are then posted to a php script which attempts to store them in a database. The problem is that the checkboxes that were not checked don't have a value and so they don't get saved to the database. Is there any way the unchecked boxes can have a value of 0? Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36615-solved-unchecked-checkbox-values/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggieBear Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Why not set the default value of the column in the database to be '0' and then when you insert/update the row in the database from the php, you only insert/update the required values. Checkboxes are only sent if they're checked Regards Huggie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36615-solved-unchecked-checkbox-values/#findComment-174468 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea, I wonder why I didn't think of that Regards Huggie Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/36615-solved-unchecked-checkbox-values/#findComment-174473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
