Multiple Checkbox Saving in MySQL? - El Forum - 07-05-2012

I have an array that I pass from Controller to View to create a list of checkbox options for the User.
Here is the view:
Code:
echo form_label('Secondary Activities:').br(1);
foreach($all_activities as $row) {
echo "<p class='activity_select'>";
echo form_checkbox($row->act_type_id).nbs(2);
echo form_label($row->act_type_name);
echo "</p>";
}How do I take the selected options and save them into a database table to then allow for reposting once saved?
Sorry, I am new to all this stuff.

Code:
$data = array(
'name' => 'newsletter',
'id' => 'newsletter',
'value' => 'accept',
'checked' => TRUE,
'style' => 'margin:10px',
);
echo form_checkbox($data);You can use this to give each field name. So you can get the its value, by submitting the form.
Code:
$newsletter = $this->input->post('newsletter');try to echo the var $newsletter to make u easier to understand

My array consists of 17 options, which is dynamically generated when pulled from another database table. I don't think I could do that for all 17, and then having it be dynamic should the options change.

I've never tried. But I believe you can use [].
