Inserting Checkbox Values

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

I have a group of checkboxes as below.

How do I ensure that only the checked values are inserted into the database?

 <td><input type="checkbox" name="equities_close" id="equities_close" value="close" /></td>
 <td><input type="checkbox" name="equities_bid" id="equities_bid" value="bid" /></td>
 <td><input type="checkbox" name="equities_ask" id="equities_ask" value="ask" /></td>
 <td><input type="checkbox" name="equities_mean" id="equities_mean" value="mean" /></td>
 <td><input type="checkbox" name="equities_manual" id="equities_manual" value="manual" /></td>

Unchecked won't exist in $_GET or $_POST

If they are in a form I would just make all the names the same and loop through them, then only the ticked ones would appear anyway.

Of you'll just have to do an isset check on each name to make sure its been ticked

 if(isset($_POST['equities_close'])) {
//add to database
}
