I have a database and one table in it deals with my patient information. Depending on their condition I divided their age groups into 3 categories. In my database a table patient_data has a column age_group and a patient can be any one of young, middle or old category. Now the possibility is that a user can selecct 1 or 2 or all three options. In the query form, I gave the option for a user as a check box. The piece of html code is as below: <DIV>Age group</DIV> <DIV>Young<input type="checkbox" name="" value=""></DIV> <DIV>Middle<input type="checkbox" name="" value=""></DIV> <DIV>Old<input type="checkbox" name="" value=""></DIV> Problem: I want to capture the user options and create an SQL statement:

Select age_group from patient_data where age_group = young and old ;

Young<input type="checkbox" name="agegroup[]" value="young" /> Middle<input type="checkbox" name="agegroup[]" value="middle" /> Old<input type="checkbox" name="agegroup[]" value="old" /> Then in your code: if(!empty($_GET['agegroup']) && is_array($_GET['agegroup'])) { $in = "'" . implode("','",$_GET['agegroup']) . "'"; $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE age_group IN ($in)"; } Next time just post this to php-general or php-db... no need to include both of them. -- ---John Holmes...
