You want to store your form data in your code.
For this you have to make following changes in your code and database.
In Form
note: Input field value should be relevant.
With your existing html code your process.php will get data in this structure
Array
(
[textfield] => Array
(
[childname] => dang
[age] => 18
[parent_name] => doctor
[contact_no] => 100
)
[checkbox] => Array
(
[scratch] => checkbox
[app_inventor] => checkbox
[html] => checkbox
[nov12] => checkbox
[dec12] => checkbox
)
[Submit] => Submit
)
So you need to modify your process.php
Before that you have to modify structure of your table, follow these steps
1. Delete your existing table
2. Create new table
DROP TABLE tblchildren ;
CREATE TABLE tblchildren
(
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
childname VARCHAR(30),
age TINYINT,
parent_name VARCHAR(30),
contact_no VARCHAR(20),
scratch ENUM('yes','no'),
app_inventor ENUM('yes','no'),
html ENUM('yes','no'),
sesNov12Attnd ENUM('yes','no'),
sesDec12Attnd ENUM('yes','no')
);
Since you are new to php so i have used basic function, I will suggest you to use switch from mysql to mysqli
process.php
<?php
$con=mysql_connect("hostname","username","pass");
$db=mysql_select_db('dbname', $con);
//check form is submitted
if(isset($_POST)){
//mysql_real_escape_string() prevents from sql injection.
$childname= mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['textfield']['childname']);
$age=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['textfield']['age']);
$parentName=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['textfield']['parent_name']);
$contactNo=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['textfield']['contact_no']);
$scratch=isset($_POST['checkbox']['scratch'])?'yes':'no';
$appInventor=isset($_POST['checkbox']['app_inventor'])?'yes':'no';
$html=isset($_POST['checkbox']['html'])?'yes':'no';
$nov12=isset($_POST['checkbox']['nov12'])?'yes':'no';
$dec12=isset($_POST['checkbox']['dec12'])?'yes':'no';
$sql="INSERT INTO tblchildren(childname, age, parent_name, contact_no, scratch,app_inventor,html, sesNov12Attnd, sesDec12Attnd )
VALUES
('$childname',$age,'$parentName','$contactNo','$scratch','$appInventor','$html','$nov12','$dec12')";
mysql_query($sql);
}else{
echo "Form Not SUbmitted";
}
?>
