Inserting / updating multiple checkbox values into a field using php / mysql

Asked by Simbob in PHP and Databases, PHP Scripting Language, MySQL Server

Tags: , , , ,

Hi, I've been trying to set up a form using checkboxes to update multiple values into a field database (MYSQL) using php.  Can multiple values be inserted into a single field name within a table?, and if so, how can I insert them using checkboxes??  I've included the code example to give you an idea of where I am.......
