Re: checkboxes into MySQL

it took me a while to find this out, too. If you have say, 5 checkboxes, name them like so: <input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="monk"> <input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="trane"> <input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="miles"> <input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="dizzy"> <input type="checkbox" name="musicians[]" value="bird"> when submitted, in the script processing the form, check the array $musicians[]. The checked selections will be included as elements. So if trane and bird were checked, you will have a 2-element array in $musicians[]. $musicians[0] == "trane" $musicians[1] == "bird" HTH.

I know this has been discussed, but it messing with me. in a script I'm working on I pull out an array of checkboxes from a database, how do I store what people select back to the DB all I end up with is the last selection of the array.
