Hi, first you need connect to the database y attach on this example a litle extension class of Pear DB class. I suppose that your case use mysql database.
this is an example:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<?
require_once db.clas.php
$DB = array ();
$DB['type'] = 'mysql';
$DB['host'] = '10.10.1.7';
$DB['user'] = 'youruser';
$DB['password'] = 'yourpassword';
$DB['dbname'] = 'yourdb';
function myCheck($op){
global $DB;
$mdb = new mdb;
$out = "";
$q = "select * from checkbox_table order by groups_name";
if($db->db_dbArray($DB, $q)){
for($i=0;$i<count($db->_db['data']);$i++){
$checked = ($db->_db['data'][$i]['groups_id'] == $i) ? "checked" :
"";
$out .= "<input name='sel_group[]' type='checkbox'
value='{$db->_db['data'][$i]['groups_id']}'
{$checked}>{$db->_db['data'][$i]['groups_name']}<BR>";
}
}
return $out;
}
?>
<form name="checkbox" method="post" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
<?= myCheck($_REQUEST['sel_group']) ?>
</form>
