MySQL and PHP multiple checklist db insert -


i trying insert value of multiple checklist db column. code not working. can spot problem?

my database consists of table called "colors" , 1 column called "color".

<?php // connect database require "mysql_connect.php"; ?>   <?php // value form $color = $_post['color'];  foreach($_post['color'] $colors){ $insert = mysql_query("insert colors (color) values ('$color')"); } ?>  <form action="add_color.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="colorform"     id="colorform">  <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="black" /> black <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="red" /> red <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="blue" /> blue <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="white" /> white  <input name="submit" type="submit" value="add color" />  </form> 

thanks

this nice way add colors

<?php          require "mysql_connect.php";     // connect database     $colors=array();     // value form      if (isset($_post['color']))  $colors = $_post['color'];      foreach($colors $color)     {         mysql_query ("insert colors ('color') values ('$color')");     } ?>  <form action="add_color.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="colorform"     id="colorform">  <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="black" /> black <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="red" /> red <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="blue" /> blue <input type="checkbox" name="color[]" value="white" /> white  <td><input name="submit" type="submit" value="add color" /> </form> 

if (isset($_post['color'])) condition important because prevent indexing error in case array empty

$colors=array(); also, declare variables prevent getting undeclared varibles, previously, in code, happen if user not specify color

remember php server-side , getting errors on php create loopholes attacks. try read php best practices, impotant

hopes helps :-)
