RE: [PHP] Insert an array into MySQL
Your second method should work, but it's dependent on what your form looks like and how your table was created. You obviously have a key set for this column and you're trying to insert the same value twice, which makes an error. Show us what your form looks like, not the whole thing, just for the checkboxes. Also, what does your CREATE TABLE look like for the table your trying to insert this data into? ---John Holmes... -Original Message- From: Rob Packer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, June 23, 2002 7:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Insert an array into MySQL Hi, I've seen a few post for this same thing but I can't seem to get it working.

Re: [PHP] Insert an array into MySQL
oops, sorry about the other post (I've got a baby that likes the keyboard)... Hi, This is the form, which I had doubts about, but it seemed to put things into the array correctly when I tested it by printing it out. I can't see how, it will print key=0 value=index.html key=1 value=about.html key=2 value=whats_new.html when I test it and then have a duplicate key. It's saying that I have 2 $pagetype[0] correct? Anyhow, here's the form... INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=pagetype[] VALUE='index.html'Home Page br INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=pagetype[] VALUE='about.html'About Page br INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=pagetype[] VALUE='whats_new.html'What's New Pagebr INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=pagetype[] VALUE='contact.html'Contact Pagebr INPUT TYPE=checkbox NAME=pagetype[] VALUE='favorite_links.html'Favorite Links br The CREATE TABLE is this: I define the table name from user input. $query_links=CREATE TABLE $username_links (id INT(4) not null, links VARCHAR(20) not null, UNIQUE (id)); if(mysql_query($query_links,$connection)){ echo Links table created!br; }else{ echo no links table madeBR; } thanks, Rob John Holmes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 001201c21ab5$0df073a0$b402a8c0@mango">news:001201c21ab5$0df073a0$b402a8c0@mango...
