work with multi cheek box to same row

hi guys
i need some help to insert multi cheek box to db in one row.

i make like this
in form.html

<table class="table">
<form action="1.php" method="post">
<tr>

<th class="th">ORDER_DESC </th>

</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td"><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="CSF"/> CSF </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="td"><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="LFT"/> LFT </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="td"><input type="checkbox" name="checkbox[]" value="RFR"/> RFR </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="td" ><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit"/>
</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table>

in php:

<?php
$orders = $_POST['checkbox'];
mysql_connect("localhost", "root","") or die ('Error: '. mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("project");

if(count($orders)>0)
{
foreach($orders as $key=>$order)
{
$query="INSERT INTO orders (ORDER_DESC) VALUES ('".$order."' )";
mysql_query($query) or die ('Error Updating the Database' . mysql_errno());
}
echo "Order Successfully Placed";
}
else
echo "No Orders";
?>

when i press submit it insert into data but not in one row

can help ?

That is because you have:

PHP Code:

$query="INSERT INTO orders (ORDER_DESC) VALUES ('".$order."' )";

which when it is looping it is replacing the query. Instead try assemble the query. like this:

PHP Code:

if(count($orders)>0)
{
  $query = 'INSERT INTO orders (ORDER_DESC) VALUES ';
  //you could loop through it
  /*
  foreach($orders as $order)
  {
    $query .= "('".$order."'), ";
  }
  */
  //or just use implode
  $query .= "('".implode("'), ('", $orders)."')";
  
  //if you used the implode function you don't need this next line
  $query = trim(', ', $query).';';
  mysql_query($query) or die ('Error Updating the Database' . mysql_errno());
  echo "Order Successfully Placed";
}

that would create something like this:

SQL Code:

INSERT INTO orders (ORDER_DESC) VALUES ('CSF'), ('LFT'), ('RFR');

which is how you query a mysql database to insert multiple records.

it dosent work
it give me error in db

How is your DB structured?

i didn't understand what you mean

Do you want to add the values in separate columns or joined in one column?

For all values joined you can just do something like this:
* * *
foreach($orders as $key=>$order) $orders[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($order);
$orders = implode(', ', $orders);
$sql = "INSERT INTO orders (ORDER_DESC) VALUES ('$orders')";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

for join in one column
tanx core is work =)

i want to retrive the cheek box from db to another form to view

i write like this
my second form

<?php
include("config.php");

$orders = $_POST['checkbox'];
foreach($orders as $key=>$order) $orders[$key] = mysql_real_escape_string($order);
$orders = implode(', ', $orders);
$sql = "INSERT INTO orders (ORDER_DESC) VALUES ('$orders')";
mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_close($con)
?>

<table class="table" >
<form action="orders1.php" method="post">

<tr>
<th class="th"> ORDERING_DEPT </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td"> <input type="text" name="ORDERING_DEPT" /> </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th class="th"> ORDERING_SERVICE </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="td"> <input type="text" name="ORDERING_SERVICE" /> </td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td class="td"> <input type="text" name="ORDERING_DEPT" /> </td>
</tr>

<td class="td" ><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit"/>
</td>
</tr>

</form>
</table>

and for insert :
<?php
include("config.php");

$result =mysql_query("SELECT ORDER_DESC FROM orders
WHERE ORDER_DESC = 'CSF','LFT'");

$sql="INSERT INTO orders (ORDERING_DEPT,ORDERING_SERVICE)
VALUES
('$_POST[ORDERING_DEPT]','$_POST[ORDERING_SERVICE]')";

echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>ORDER_DESC</th>
<th>ORDERING_DEPT</th>
<th>ORDERING_SERVICE</th>

</tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['ORDER_DESC'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['ORDERING_DEPT'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['ORDERING_SERVICE'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

it give me error for boolen
and when i want to insert the data only shown the cheekbx

can help

<input type="text" name="ORDERING_DEPT" />
is repeated twice. Not sure if it is on purpose, but you should be careful with this.

SELECT ORDER_DESC FROM orders WHERE ORDER_DESC = 'CSF','LFT'
this should be
SELECT ORDER_DESC FROM orders WHERE ORDER_DESC LIKE '%CSF%' AND ORDER_DESC LIKE '%LFT%'
or if you are completely sure for the content
SELECT ORDER_DESC FROM orders WHERE ORDER_DESC = 'CSF, LFT'
the second variant is faster, but the content have to be exact match.

You should always validate your POST/GET data. If for example someone enters anything quoted there are big chances to blow your inserts. You can just $_POST['ORDERING_DEPT'] = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ORDERING_DEPT']); and so on...

i mistake the order dept

but when i wnt to update the db i want to insert another from order_desc to same cheek box to view but not work

i do like this for insert
im trying using update but dosent work and is insert to diffrent order not in the same
i make my primary key auto increment

<?php
include("config.php");
$ORDERING_DEPT = $_POST['ORDERING_DEPT']== mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['ORDERING_DEPT']);
$result = mysql_query("select ORDER_DESC from orders where ORDER_DESC='CSF' '%CSF%' AND ORDER_DESC LIKE '%LFT%' ");

$sql = "INSERT INTO orders (ORDERING_DEPT) VALUES ('$ORDERING_DEPT')";

mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

mysql_close($con)
?>

just a note, try putting some formatting/highlight on the code to make it more readable, by writing the code between or at least
