Simple Example of Check Box to update MySQL Field NeededMy Links


woocha

Recommended Posts

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....

 

Thank You

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){

   //check if they put yes to pepsi
   if (isset($_POST['y_pepsi'])){
      //update DB to '1'
   }

}
?>

<form>
   Do you like Pepsie? 
   <input type="checkbox" name="y_pepsi"> Yes
   <input type="checkbox" name="n_pepsi"> No <p>
   <input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

 

Is that what your looking for?

To update / modify pocobueno1388's example:

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['submit'])){

   //check if they put yes to pepsi
   if ($_POST['pepsi_checkbox']) == 1){
      //update DB to '1'
   }

}
?>

<form>
   I like pepsi <input type="checkbox" name="pepsi_checkbox" value="1">
   <input type="submit" name="submit">
</form>

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', ";
