how to get yes/no radio checkboxes info into database

I have two yes/no radio check box on my quote page. I have a field set up in the database for them, but right now the info is not submitting into the database. How do I do so? Is there a tutorial? Also, I need to bind the info into an email using universal email. I know how to bind other submitted info by dragging the binding into the code so the email or name the user submits show up. However, for the yes/no radio check box there are 2 binding for each one instead of just one for the email or other input info. Which one do I drag into the code or do I do that at all? Thanks for your help, I've attached a copy of the quote php

What values are you getting when you insert the info in the db or print it out on the page? The key to using these types of inputs is that they have same name but different id's and values. It looks like yours are setup like this but it seems that they are passing as an array.

If you are getting the array instead of the values in the array you will need to explode the array to store the info in your db. You could try removing the [] after the name of the checkbox to see if that gets you just the value portion of the checkbox in your db and in the email.

You might get a better result if you use a radio group or have just a single checkbox for yes rather than one for yes and no.

We're using the WebAssist Form Builder and DataAssist to create and send the info. When we open up Data Assist to map the form elements, it has different field names for each group, ie one for yes and one for no. But the database has only one field. This happens when we use radio buttons, check boxes, etc. I agree, usually there is a spry type group, but when we use Form Builder, it is not presenting the data elements correctly for DataAssist.

You should try using a single checkbox for this rather than a group, then you can insert that value. When you are checking this later you can query where the column has a one to indicate that 'yes' was submitted for that option. This way you will have only a single field to try and apply to your column.
