PHP : insert multiple check boxes values into one MySQL column

Question

I want to write a simple PHP function to insert values of 10 and 20 check boxes. Now, the issue is: should I insert all values in a single column of MySQL table or should I

Answer 1

Firstly very straight to point, I prefer doing names like this from different checkboxes

BasketBall;Cricket;Tennis

You can do that by

implode(";",$array);

and then write that in mySQL table...

To get those values Just use

$array = explode(";",$urVariable);

For different values use

numberOne = $array[1]; // returns Cricket

to change any value use Just get the values and rewrite in ";" form..

I like this as it is simple to implement and do job perfectly!
