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?---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly-- Jeff Self Information Technology Analyst Department of Personnel City of Newport News 2400 Washington Avenue Newport News, VA 23607 757-926-6930 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly -- Virus scanned by edNET.
