将复选框插入mysql数据库

Question

Would like some help on how to store values from dynamic checkboxes into a mySQL table using php.

                    ID |        DES_ID  | CAT_ID
                    1           0921671     12
                    2           0921671     24
                    3           0921671     30

I generate my checkboxes like this.

<?php 
                $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tbl_category order by name ");
                $i=1;
                while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
                echo '<input type="checkbox" name="categories[]" value='.$row['category_id'].' id='.$row['name'].'>'.'<label for='.$row['name'].' class="fil_lab">'.$row['name']. '</label>';
                if($i%5==0)
                {
                 $i = 0;
                 echo '<br><br>';
                }
                $i++;}
            ?>

Note: I will add those checkboxes as other data like, Destination Name etc. . I have a total of 4 tables to be inserted at the same time.

Answer 1

You can add a separate table for check boxes, which you can link with a foreign key to main table.

OR

You can create a field in main table and store check box values like this (0|1|2) but this is not a good method, follow the first one.
