store multiple checkbox values to database using php and mysql

How to store the checkbox values to single field by using the set column type using php and mysql. Is it possible?

My Code:

<?php
$genre = serialize($_POST['genre']);
$query = "INSERT INTO myset(genre) values('" . $genre . "')";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Its not working.

Answer 1

HTML

<input type="checkbox" name="genre[]" value="1">
<input type="checkbox" name="genre[]" value="2">..

PHP

<?php
$genre= @implode(',', $_POST['genre']);
$query = "INSERT INTO myset(genre) values('$genre')";
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
?>

After this, you will find value ‘1,2’ in your (single) genre column.
