Hi,

I have 7 checkboxes. If the user selects the other one they enter some value in the textbox

Code:

<input type="checkbox" name="question1" id="question1" value"1">1
<input type="checkbox" name="question2" id="question2" value"2">2
<input type="checkbox" name="question3" id="question3" value"3">3
<input type="checkbox" name="question4" id="question4" value"4">4
<input type="checkbox" name="question5" id="question5" value"5">5
<input type="checkbox" name="question6" id="question6" value"6">6
<input type="checkbox" name="Other" id="Other" value"Other">Other

<input type="text" name="othertxt" id="othertxt" value="">

what i want to do is add the data in one field called Choice

so if someone selects 3,5

the data should be added like this 3,5

if someone selects 1,5, Other

Then the data should be added as

1,5, Other - some text

can someone tell me how i can make my string to add the data in the table

whats the easiest way to check if the checkbox was clicked or not

Before we go too far down a wrong road and can't turn around, what are you going to do with the comma string?

My guess is that it's going to end up in a single field in the database

todd2006 · #6 (**permalink**) June 19th, 2008, 02:01 PM

I just want the data to be stored in one field

Wolffy · #7 (**permalink**) June 19th, 2008, 02:06 PM

Thought so. Again, you shouldn't store multiple values in a field. Period. What is you intention for these numbers once stored?

thats how the client wants it i explained its not good but hey they want it in that way

my only problem is how to find if there was a comma at the end of the string and if there is a comma remove it

Why do they decide the design of the database? Are they database experts? Do they even have any experience in database design? Or are they just completely retarded? A client should only tell you what they need the application to do and let you work your wonders.

The simple solution is to always append a comma to the end of each value you're concatenating and then trim it off when you're done.
