[SOLVED] Form Help.

OK say i have this form below. I need to put just the VALUES into a mysql database table. How? I need just the values. Please Help!

 

 

<form action="somephp.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" multiple="multiple">
<input name="thing[]" type="checkbox" value="Thing One" />
<input name="thing[]" type="checkbox" value="Thing Two" />
<input name="thing[]" type="checkbox" value="Thing Three" />
<input name="thing[]" type="checkbox" value="Thing Four" />


</form>

Isn't that usually what you do with form inputs - use the VALUES? Sorry to be short, but you may consider actually learning the language a bit before posting; this is all in the manual:

 

<?php
//Access the variable with the $_POST array
$things = $_POST['thing']; //$things is now a numerically indexed array with only the checked values.

foreach($things as $thing) {
mysql_real_escape_string($thing);
mysql_query("insert into things set thing = '$thing'");
}
?>

 

In the above, if I checked Thing One, Thing Three and Thing Four, your $things array would be this:

<?php
$things = array(0=>'Thing One', 1=>'Thing Three', 2=>'Thing Four');
?>

Well thanx. And I tried the manual. Im a "show me" type. I know too many languages I think. But again thank you.
