Hey, Dude you could use it this way <input type='checkbox' name='something' value='1'> <input type='checkbox' name='something' value='2'> <input type='checkbox' name='something' value='3'> Once u submit it, do a small server side validation if(isset($_POST['something'] || $_POST['something']) != ""){ insert............... } This way you could avoid replacing the values with nulls.
