In addition to what Mihail had to say, I saw a couple of minor things as well. I'm not sure if they're the cause of or solution to the problem you're experiencing. First, I'm pretty sure that a value of value=\"Y\" is not valid HTML. I don't know what it does to your name/value pair when you POST the data from the page, but I'm pretty sure it's invalid HTML. HTML wants value="Y"; it doesn't like the slashes. Second, I noticed you're missing a comma in your SQL statement between $LastName and $Username. That would probably cause your SQL statement to error out. Just my two cents. > -----Original Message----- > From: Graeme McLaren [mailto:mickel@ntlworld.com] > Sent: Friday, October 25, 2002 2:40 PM > To: php-db@lists.php.net > Subject: Inserting checkbox data > > > Hi all, I'm having a problem inserting a value from a > checkbox into a MySQL DB.
