    <p>I keep getting the word "Array" in my database. I have checkboxes in my form and am having a hard time with it. I've tried different things, and this is the latest coding I have. What am I doing wrong? </p> <p>In my form, the checkboxes have the name "cats[]".</p> <p>I don't know if the first part matters (I saw that online and tried using it with the rest just in case)</p> <pre><code>if(count($cats) &gt; 0) { $str = implode(",", $cats); } </code></pre> <p>And then the actual code</p> <pre><code>$cats = array(); // Not good? //if(isset($_POST['submit'])) if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { if(isset($_POST['cats'])) { $cats = $_POST['cats']; } $categories= $_POST['categories']; // This saves it aa a string, as you can only save those values as string. $str = $categories . ": " . implode(", ", $cats); var_dump ($str); } </code></pre> <p>And this for the database</p> <pre><code>$sql="INSERT INTO form_corpo_test (compagnie) VALUES ('$_POST[cats]')"; </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>This is the correct code (thank you guys for the help! I wish I could have marked two of your answers as the "best answer"). Hopefully this helped others (err, although they'll need to look into sql injections too of course).</p> <pre><code>$cats = array(); if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { if(isset($_POST['cats'])) { $cats = implode(",", $_POST['cats'] ); } $categories= $_POST['categories']; $str = $categories . ": " . $cats; } </code></pre> <p>And</p> <pre><code> $sql="INSERT INTO form_corpo_test (categories) VALUES ('$str')"; </code></pre>

    3. CO`$_POST[cats]` is an array. Don't want to insert `$str`?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
