You can see the behavior by going to http://www.abilityconnectiontexas.org and clicking the "CONTACT US" link on the nav bar. Fill out and submit the form on the CONTACT US form that appears on the megamenu. Everything will behave as expected on the front end, but the checkbox data is not inserted on the database. I've attached a screenshot of the Column Bindings tab in the Server Behavior and a screenshot of the test results as they appear in PHPMySQLAdmin when browsing the table data. The code in the page related to this issue is shown below:

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
$InsertQuery = new WA_MySQLi_Query($actdb);
$InsertQuery->Action = "insert";
$InsertQuery->Table = "visitors";
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("firstname", "s", "".($rsContacts->getColumnVal("contactFirstName")) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("lastname", "s", "".($rsContacts->getColumnVal("contactLastName")) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("fullname", "s", "".((isset($_POST["name"]))?$_POST["name"]:"") ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("email", "s", "".((isset($_POST["email"]))?$_POST["email"]:"") ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("emailReceive", "c", "".((isset($_POST["emailReceive"]))?$_POST["emailReceive"]:"") ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("status", "i", "4", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("regDate", "t", "".((isset($_POST["regDate"]))?$_POST["regDate"]:"") ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("sourceSiteID", "i", "".((isset($_POST["pgSrc"]))?$_POST["pgSrc"]:"") ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->bindColumn("sourceSiteName", "s", "".($rsContacts->getColumnVal("contactDeptName")) ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
$InsertQuery->saveInSession("visitorID");
$InsertQuery->execute();
$InsertGoTo = "";
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $InsertGoTo = $InsertGoTo?rel2abs($InsertGoTo,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
$InsertQuery->redirect($InsertGoTo);
}
?>

Thanks again for your help!

enthusiastically,
Mark

It looks like it would work to me. Can I get FTP access to debug?

MySQLi Server Behaviors and checkbox data

Hi Ray - Hope you and yours are doing well. I've put the FTP info in the Private Message area. Please keep confidential and let me know if you need anything or have any questions.

Your page seems to be using some sort of jquery AJAX form submit... that code isn't including the checkbox in the form submission... so that is the source of the issue.

I'm not sure what the fix is because I'm not sure exactly which .js script it is doing it. Maybe search their forums for why a checkbox might be ignored in form submission.

Thanks Ray! I had forgotton that the js collects the form data and passes it to the contact.php. You pointed me in the right direction and I've got the site working properly now. Funny how we think of all things Javascript as client side. In this case it is used to help the form submission load the content in the success menu area.
