woocha Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I have an HTML Form the is to be filled out by a user...the Form already includes one radio button and one checkbox....this form is an emample form I grabbed from a sample website to use as a testing ground. When I tried editing the form by adding another checkbox, i couldn't get it to work at all......Can anyone please tell give me a very simple set of code( HTML & PHP ) to update a MySQL field. My goal is to have a user decide if he like Pepsi. So do you like Pepsi? checkbox for yes and that's it......then the php updates the MySQL value to 1 for yes otherwise leave as default 0 for no... Any help would be very much appreciated....

woocha Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thank you very much for your reply, but I realy just want one checkbox.....MySQL defaults to "0" which means Pepsi stinks....if users check box then update DB to "1" which means Pepsi is cool....

woocha Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Is it possible to use: mysql_query("update 'insert table here' set site_id = $id"); } $query = "update 'insert table here' set "; And then use the concat to hold everything together like this: $query .= "blurb = \"$blurb\", "; $query .= "banner = '$banner', "; Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/70171-simple-example-of-check-box-to-update-mysql-field-neededmy-links/#findComment-352511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
