Question

I would like a checkbox with the text populated by the sql database then stored in ajax.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

The generating radio buttons in php should be something like the following:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_password") or
    die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("mydb");

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id, name, value FROM mytable");

//I assume the 2nd entry in the database is the value name and the 3th is the button value
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo '<input type="radio" name="'.$row[1].'" value="'.$row[2].'" />'.$row[1];
}
?>

The storing in AJAX part is a bit confusing. AJAX is a way of doing a subpage request. See here.

So if you want to store with ajax you have to build a PHP page which receives the data and puts it in the database. The easiest way to do this is posting the entire form with the data via an ajax request. Check it out here. Good luck with your endeavors!
