Ashley If I were to create a child table, would the Type be a Bool? Gary "Ashley Sheridan" <ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk> wrote in message news:1271862971.20937.19.camel@localhost...

Ashley Thank you for your reply. I was trying to get the structure of the DB into a text form, cant seem to find that (phpmyadmin). This is the insert code <?php $caption=($_POST['caption']); $keyword=($_POST['keyword']); $description=($_POST['description']); $image_file=($_POST['image_file']); $where_taken=($_POST['where_taken']); $dbc=mysqli_connect('', '', '', 'images'); $query="INSERT INTO images(caption, where_taken, keyword, description, image_file) VALUES ('$caption','$where_taken','$keyword','$description','$image_file')"; if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

     $how_many = count($keyword);
     echo 'keywords chosen: '.$how_many.'<br />';
     if ($how_many>0) {
         echo 'You chose the following keywords:<br />';
     }
     for ($i=0; $i<$how_many; $i++) {
     echo ($i+1) . '- ' . $keyword[$i] . '<br />';

}

      echo "<br />";

} $result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die('Error querying database.'); if($result == true) {

       echo "Successfully Inserted $image_file into database";

} else {

       echo "Some Error Occured While Inserting Records";

} mysqli_close($dbc); ?> I hope that helps, and again thank you for your reply. gary "Ashley Sheridan" <ash@ashleysheridan.co.uk> wrote in message news:1271858245.20937.10.camel@localhost...

I have a form that I have a (ever growing) list of checkboxes, Here is a sample of the code for it. <input name="keyword[]" type="checkbox" value="fox" /> It seems to go in, when I say seems to, I get a result of Array in the table, the code is listed below. I have tried various solutions I found in searching the issue, but have only been able to so far get Array. echo '<table border="1"><th>Id Number</th><th>Date Entered</th><th>Caption</th><th>Where Taken</th><th>Keywords</th><th>Description</th><th>Image</th>'; while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($data)) {

    echo '<tr><td>' . $row['image_id']. '</td>';

echo '<td>' . $row['submitted']. '</td>';

    echo '<td>' . $row['caption']. '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['where_taken'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['keyword']. '</td>';
       echo '<td>' . $row['description'] . '</td>';
      if (is_file($row['image_file'])) {
      echo '<td><img src="'.$row['image_file'].'" width="100px"

height="100px"/></td>';

      }

As a bonus question, does anyone have any idea why the image would show up in IE8, and not FF? Thanks for your help.

You say you're getting an entry of Array in your table. Is this after performing an insert query from the form? If so, we're gonna need to see the code for that! If it's that you're retrieving from the DB and getting Array as the output, then it could be that you're using string functions on an array. However, as you said images are displaying, I don't think that's the case. Maybe some of the fields in the DB have a string literal of 'Array' as their value? As for the images not displaying correctly, have you tried to just open those images up in a browser using their uri? Just copy and paste it from the <img> tag. It might give more input on exactly what is happening with the image.

You're inserting the string 'Array' into the DB. The form you have is sending an actual array, but the insert statement can only insert a single string. The string of the array is, as you've found out, 'Array'. Consider normalising the DB and having a keywords table with 3 fields: id, image_id, keyword. Then each entry in the keywords table would be a keyword, linked by image_id. You'll also need to change your images table to include an id by which you can reference each image individually and index by. Lastly, be very careful of your insert statements. The way things stand, it would be easy for someone to maliciously enter their own statements. Use something like mysql_real_escape_string() to protect against MySQL attacks.
