the different problems i'll discuss in different posts..so kindly have a look at them..and if possible plz help.
1)first is the checkbox problem..i want to check the multiple checkboxes at a time and want to update it after revisiting it.
Iam taking the name as name=type[]..in the form of array..but on checking it the result in the database simply gives the world 'array'.i want multiple checkboxes to be checked and updated simultaneously..
and the query to insert the checkbox value has to be included along with the query performed to insert data for rest of the form..
All of the forums i have visited have been of no use..so have a look at it.the coding is given below:
This is one of the parts of thee form and not the complete form[PHP]<?
include "dbconnect.php";
//error_reporting('notice');
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{//handle the form
$message=NULL;
$type=$_POST['type'];
$query ="insert into form
(type,other,purpose)VALUES('$type','$other','$purp ose');
$result =mysql_query($query);
if(!$result){die(mysql_error());}
else {echo 'Record Inserted';}
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" ><table width="90%" align=center cellpadding=2 class=medium>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td width="42%"><font color="#333333" size="1"
face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
<input type=checkbox name=type[] value=Logo/Brochure>
