Hello I am new in PHP..

Please help.

I want to save information on the database using checkboxes

ex.

checkbox2 value=banana
checkbox3 value=grapes

i want to save it with comma separated.. depends on checkbox value is true

example output:
text = apple, banana, grapes
or
text = banana, grapes
or
text = apple, grapes

can u code for me something like that output...
Do i have to use array on this..

It'd be easiest to name your checkboxes on your form with a [] on the end, like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="apple" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="banana" />
<input type="checkbox" name="check[]" value="grapes" />

Then you can simply use the implode() PHP function:

PHP Code:

$comma_separated = implode(',', $_POST['check']); 


I am new in PHP stuff, my knowledge here is not that much...
Seeking for books or website that has good or better/basic tutorials aside from the php.net maybe you can refer something.

If you want a book, I'd seriously consider purchasing PHP and MySQL Web Development. The best book I've ever read on PHP, its the one that pretty much gave me a boost into the web programming world. I have the first edition, not even sure of the additions/fixes/updates in the second

Thanks a lot.....

I also have that book and it is a very good place to start
