Question

I write this from in Codeigniter as a form_view.php.

<?php echo form_open('form'); ?>

<h5>Man</h5>
<input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="m"/>

<h5>Lady</h5>
<input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="f" />

<h5>Username</h5>
<input type="text" name="username" value="" size="50" />

<div><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></div>

</form>

And then I add this data to the database like this:

  $data=array(
            'type'=> $_POST['options[]'],
            'name'=> $_POST['name']
            );
    $this->db->insert('user_data',$data);

The name field is ok. But the type field has nothing. I can not find the error. Please help me.

Answer 1

Assuming that you want multiple values to be stored with comma (as separator) between them

$data=array(
        'type'=> implode(',', $_POST['options']),
        'name'=> $_POST['name']
        );
