checkbox with foreach.. how can i put it together into a variable?

[jwk811]

i have several checkboxes and i get it by doing foreach($check as $c){ echo $c . ', ';} but how can i make that entire thing put into one variable?

are you looking for

http://php.net/implode or

http://php.net/explode ?

Do you want all the values from the $check array to be in a comma separated list as the value of a variable?

 

If so, do it this way:

<?php
$csv_var = implode(',',$check);
?>

no i already figured that out now i need to get that data which will have all of the checked areas separated by commas, i need that to go into my db as a text or varchar.. do you know what i mean?

use insert query to update your database:

 

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table_name SET text = '$check'");

yeah but check only has the last option they picked.. im usually the foreach function to get them all but dont know how to put it into my database like that.. understand?

[Jessica]

If you already know how to implode the checkboxes into one variable, what don't you get?

 

$check = implode(',', $check);

$sql = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table_name SET text = '$check'");

if you dont understand our examples i think you should read more about the implode function.

 

what jesirose wrote should do the trick, ohterwise you aint explaning your request good enough...

oh implode will take all the checkboxes that were used? oh i see now.. i thought that the implode thing was only for the commas.. thanks ill look into that
