Re: Problem involving checkbox and Postgresql - Mailing list pgsql-php

I suppose it works well with radio buttons where you at least have a "Yes" and "No" option.<br /><br /> Chris Thompson

Set the value parameter in the input tag

<input type="checkbox"
name="driving_required" CHECKED value='1'>

That should work I believe.

     </pre><blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">I've got a table with a field called driving_required with a boolean
type and default 'true'. I've built a web page which contains the
following lines for displaying a checkbox:

<tr><td width="25%" class="form">Driver's License Required?</td>  <td width="75%"
class="form"><inputtype="checkbox"
 
name="driving_required" CHECKED></td></tr>

After the form is submitted, it calls a php file called
jobpostresults.php which enters the data from the form into the database
and displays the results on the page.

Here's the section that enters the form data into the database:

// Add Job Description Details
$jddquery = "INSERT INTO job_description_details (description_id,
effective_date, driving_required, submitted_on, submitted_by,
sm_description, responsibilities, behaviors, skills, experience,
requirements) VALUES

('$description_id','$effective_date','$driving_required',now(),'$submitted_by','$sm_description','$responsibilities','$behaviors','$skills','$experience','$requirements')";

$jddresult = pg_exec($conn, $jddquery);
if (!$jddresult)  exit;

When I input the data and click on submit I get the following error
message:

Warning:  pg_exec() query failed:  ERROR:  Bad boolean external
representation 'on'
in /var/www/nngov/admin/jobpostresults.php on line 46

It looks like the html form is producing 'on' for the value of
driving_required. How do I get this changed to 'true' in PostgreSQL?
