Checkbox is not display with dropdown values

3 Views

I am working in wordpress.I have fetched data from database and display in a dropdown.
And my code is like this. 

<select multiple="multiple" class="tole_int">
    <?php
    global $wpdb;
    $query_interest = "select p.* from wp_posts as p where p.post_type = 'interests' and p.post_name !='' ";
    $tolerancetypes = $wpdb->get_results($query_interest,OBJECT);

    foreach($tolerancetypes as $key=>$interest)
        {

    ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $interest->ID; ?>"><?php echo ucfirst($interest->post_name); ?></option>
    <?php
                }
        ?>
</select>

I have written multiple=”multiple” property for selecting multiple values.But I want to add check box along with the values. So what should I have to write?

  2. Make sure you are adding the checkbox in Form, if you want to use this in metabox no need to create Form

    So, Change selectbox to checkbox 

    <?php
global $wpdb;
$query_interest = "select p.* from wp_posts as p where p.post_type = 'interests' and p.post_name !='' ";
$tolerancetypes = $wpdb->get_results($query_interest,OBJECT);
foreach($tolerancetypes as $key=>$interest)
    {

?>
        <input type="checkbox" name="tole_int[]" value="<?php echo $interest->ID; ?>" /><?php echo $interest->post_title; ?>
    <?php
            }

    And when submitting the form you can get the values seprated by comma and save 

    $tole_int = implode(",", $_POST['tole_int']);

    or if you want to check the output of multiple checkbox values try 

    echo '<pre>';print_r($_POST['tole_int']);echo '</pre>';
