Retrieve more than 3 data's from mysql into checkbox

Question

I need to retrieve the hobbies name from mysql and display it in check boxes. I done the below given code. But it displays just check box and not any hobby names. P

Answer 1

Checkbox input itself does not display any text. You need to show both checkbox and text separately like this:

<input type='checkbox' name='check[]' value='$hobby'><label>$hobby</label>

Answer 2

Try this:

<?php
     $query = "SELECT * FROM hobbies";
     $result = mysqli_query($con, "$query");
     while ($r=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
     {
          $hobby=$r["hobby_name"];
          echo "<input type='checkbox' name='check[]' value='".$hobby."'><label>".$hobby."</label>";
     }
?>

Answer 3

You need to add simple text $hobby next to every checkbox.

Corrected code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM hobbies";
$result = mysqli_query($con, "$query");
while ($r=mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
 $hobby=$r["hobby_name"];
?>
<input type='checkbox' name='check[]' value='<?php echo $hobby;?>'> <?php echo $hobby;?>
<?php
}
