I am currently working on checkboxes. How can i get the values of 3 checkboxes and store it in 3 different fields in database?

For example i have checkboxes named sample[] and values: sample1, sample2, and sample3. And on my database I have samp1(the field to store value for the first checkbox-sample1) and so on..

Thanks.

you have to check in array if value exist then save in specific database column php in_array function can help you to solve your problem

Code:
if(in_array("sample1",$sample))

   $data['sample1'] = "sample1";

 if(in_array("sample2",$sample))

   $data['sample2'] = "sample2";

 if(in_array("sample3",$sample))

   $data['sample3'] = "sample3";

 or you can do with loop

foreach($sample as $v){

   if("sample1"==$v)

   $data['sample1'] = $v;

 if("sample2"==$sample)

   $data['sample2'] = $v;

 if("sample3" == $v)

   $data['sample3'] = $v;

}

hope will work for you

is there any other way on how i can rewrite the following sample code?

Code:
if(in_array('sample1',$sample)

  $samp = 1;

  else if(!in_array('sample1',$sample)

  $samp = 0;

if(in_array('sample2',$sample)

  $samp2 = 1;

  else if(!in_array('sample2',$sample)

  $samp2 = 0;

if the checkbox is ticked, then the value for the corresponding field in the dbase will be 1 else 0.

yes you can do it little more fast

Code:
$spam = 0;

$spam2 = 0;

if(in_array('sample1',$sample)

  $samp = 1;

if(in_array('sample2',$sample)

$samp2 = 1;

by default value will be 0 if exit then it will be change.
