<p>I am aware of the fact that checkboxes and radio buttons are two different types of data entry, and that wanting to use the one to be able to do the other is a bit like dressing up a cat to pretend it's a dog - but the way I want these checkboxes to operate there is no other way (I will show you later on).</p> <p>I've created a data entry page where a member of staff can assign specific class qualifications to classes within the designated year group. The way these qualifications work is pretty straight forward: Multiple qualifications can be assigned to any class <strong>EXCEPT ONE</strong>: It is impossible for the same class to have both qualification EnAQA4700 and EnAQA4705. </p> <p>So a class can have up to four qualifications at the same time (checkboxes, easy) with the 4700 and the 4705 being an exception; can be 4700, can be 4705, can be neither but <strong>CANNOT</strong> be both (radio buttons!)</p> <p>Is it possible for the first two checkboxes (for EnAQA4700 and EnAQA4705) to be treated as radio buttons, but still able to be written into the database along with the other checkboxes?</p> <p>Many thanks!</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qLT7b.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>Here is the HTML code for the first row of the table. You will see that the class name contains a PHP array variable and in one of my previous questions about checkboxes recognizing what class to write into using an array I was told to name the checkboxes accordingly.</p> <pre><code><tr> <td height="30"><?php echo $cl[0] ?></td> <td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="Classes[<?php echo $cl[0]; ?>][]" id="checkbox"></td> <td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="Classes[<?php echo $cl[0]; ?>][]" id="checkbox2"></td> <td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="Classes[<?php echo $cl[0]; ?>][]" id="checkbox3"></td> <td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="Classes[<?php echo $cl[0]; ?>][]" id="checkbox4"></td> <td height="30"><input type="checkbox" name="Classes[<?php echo $cl[0]; ?>][]" id="checkbox5"></td> </tr> </code></pre>

Guidance

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.
