  • 0

Is there a way to push data to two fields in a table if a check box is clicked?

So in English, as a pure hypothetical I have six fields and a check box in two rows. First row, field one is name, second is address, third is email.

What I want to do is if the information is to be transferred from left to right upon posting, a person needs to check a box.

The table would have six fields. 

name, address, email, name2, address2, email2.

So what would happen is that data that would post in name would also post in name2, as long as the check box is checked.

Is this possible in PHP?

Ok, well since people want a script to look at for an example, here… I figure it be easier to write up a generic script than to post what I’m working on. Sorry, thought I’d make it easier for people here.

<?php

require_once('connectvars.php');
        $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME)
        or die('Error connecting to MySQL server.');
$output_form = 'yes';

echo '<div id="postwrap">'

    Set a name to the checkbox, say “duplicateBox“, and have its value set to 1 when checked.

    <?php
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $address = $_POST['address'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $name2 = $_POST['name2'];
    $address2 = $_POST['address2'];
    $email2 = $_POST['email2'];
    $duplicate = $_POST['duplicateBox'];


    if($duplicate == 1)
    {
        $name2 = $name;
        $address2 = $address;
        $email2 = $email;
    }

    $insert = "INSERT INTO `table` (name,address,email,name2,address2,email2) VALUES ('$name','$address','$email','$name2','$address2','$email2')";
    mysql_query($insert)or die(mysql_error());
?>
