It returns "on" as true. Just test the value of $driving_required and
assign the proper boolen value for postgresql..
If ($driving_required=='on') {
$driving_required=TRUE;
} else {
$driving_required=FALSE;
}

That only works if I leave the checkboxes checked. If I remove the

Hi Jeff,
Set the value parameter in the input tag
<input type="checkbox"
name="driving_required" CHECKED value='1'>
That should work I believe.

I've got a table with a field called driving_required with a boolean
type and default 'true'. I've built a web page which contains the
following lines for displaying a checkbox:
<tr><td width="25%" class="form">Driver's License Required?</td>
<td width="75%" class="form"><input type="checkbox"
name="driving_required" CHECKED></td></tr>
After the form is submitted, it calls a php file called
jobpostresults.php which enters the data from the form into the database
and displays the results on the page.
Here's the section that enters the form data into the database:
// Add Job Description Details
$jddquery = "INSERT INTO job_description_details (description_id,
effective_date, driving_required, submitted_on, submitted_by,
sm_description, responsibilities, behaviors, skills, experience,
requirements) VALUES
('$description_id','$effective_date','$driving_required',now(),'$submitted_by','$sm_description','$responsibilities','$behaviors','$skills','$experience','$requirements')";
$jddresult = pg_exec($conn, $jddquery);
if (!$jddresult)
exit;
When I input the data and click on submit I get the following error
message:
Warning: pg_exec() query failed: ERROR: Bad boolean external
representation 'on'
in /var/www/nngov/admin/jobpostresults.php on line 46
It looks like the html form is producing 'on' for the value of
driving_required. How do I get this changed to 'true' in PostgreSQL?
