how to check out if a checkbox has been checked?

[Phaelle]

Dear all,

I am doing a search engine, and I have a problem, I need to check which of the checkboxes has been checked. According to the checkbox checked, the search engine will search a specific content of a field of my database.
But the script I wrote doesn´t work.


[code=php]$request="selec t * from tablabu where (";
if ($_POST['Picture'] == "on"){
{$request=$requ est." `tablabu`.`Kind _of_document` LIKE 'PI') OR ("; }
if ($_POST['Video'] == "on"){
{$request=$requ est." `tablabu`.`Kind _of_document` LIKE 'VI') ;OR ("; }
ETC...[/code]

Thanks a lot for your help

I think this is what your looking for
set up your html like this:
[HTML]
<input type="check" name="Picture" id="Picture" value="1" />
<input type="check" name="Video" id="Video" value="1" />
[/HTML]

then
[PHP]
if ($_POST['Picture'] == "1")
{
//code
}
if ($_POST['Video'] == "1")
{
//code
}
[/PHP]

good luck

Raphaelle, please use [CODE] tags when you post source code.

hi,
There is ETC in your coding so that means there are lots of checkboxes in your HTML FROM isn't it?

Could you please post the coding for the

1. HTML form structure
2. Table Structure
3. and the Query string that you hope to use with.

Thanks!
