    copied!<p>I have the following table that fetches data from the database:</p> <pre><code>while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo ' &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="320"&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" name="product_ID[]" value="'.$row['Product_ID'].'" /&gt;'.$row['Product_description'].'&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="50"&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="product_cost[]" value="'.$row['Product_Retail_cost'].'" maxlength="3" size="3" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="50"&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="product_quantity[]" value="1" maxlength="3" size="1" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;'; } </code></pre> <p>What I would like to do, is insert the row into a table, making sure to insert any updated values from the two text boxes. The insert looks like this:</p> <pre><code>$product_ID = $_POST['product_ID']; $product_cost = $_POST['product_cost']; $product_quantity = $_POST['product_quantity']; for ($i=0; $i&lt;sizeof($product_ID);$i++) { $query="INSERT INTO mjj_ordered_products (`Order_ID`, `Product_ID`, `Product_Quantity`, `Product_Price`) VALUES ((SELECT MAX(Order_ID) AS Order_ID FROM `mjj_orders`), '".$product_ID[$i]."', '".$product_quantity[$i]."', '".$product_cost[$i]."')"; mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error()); } </code></pre> <p>But while this inserts the correct Product_ID, the remaining two values inserted do not correspond to the selected checkbox, but rather by looping through the entire list.</p> <p>The question: how do I insert the other 2 values associated to the checkbox into the databse?</p>
