Unchecked value in form sending to mysql...

[allyse]

Hi!

This might be an easy question to you guys.

I got 52 if sentences in a update script for car brands;

Here is one of the includes:

<?

if ($astonmartin == 1)
{
echo '<input name="astonmartin" type="checkbox" id="astonmartin" value="1" checked>' ;
}

else
{
echo '<input name="astonmartin" type="checkbox" id="astonmartin" value="1">' ;
}

?>

This if will as you can see check the box if the value are 1 and show an unchecked box if the value are 0 in the database.

The problem is. I want to be able to uncheck some boxes as this is a update script.. Altso if I uncheck the checkbox I want the form to send eg astonmartin=0 (the value 0) and if I check it will send astonmartin=1 (the value 1).

This is probaly easy to get working, but I realy dont got a clue what will help here.

Hope somebody can helt and show me 🙂

P.S Exuse my bad english. Its not my native language.

The way you are doing is is correct, but there are ways of coding less. This example is assuming you are using the variable $row from your mysql_fetch_array

if ($row["astonmartin"] == 1) {
    $aston = "checked";
} else {
    $aston = "";
}

echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"astonmartin\" $aston value=\"".$row["astonmartin"]."\">";
