Inserting multiple rows into MySQL with checkbox - php

Question

Below is my code. I have two MySQL database tables, one is "member" and another one is "participants". I would like to display the data in table "member" to my local host page and I did it. However, I cannot insert multiple rows of "member" data by using checkbox to my database table "participants". I am stuck. Any help is much appreciated.
<?php
try {
$con = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=kgruum member", "root", "");
$sql = $con->query("SELECT * FROM member");
echo "<table class='info' align='center' border='1'>";
echo "<tr><td width='10'></td>
<td width='10'><b>ID</b></td>
<td width='500'><b>Name</b></td>
<td width='50'><b>Handicap</b></td><tr>";
foreach($sql as $row) {
$ID = $row["ID"];
$Name = $row["Name"];
$Handicap = $row["Handicap"];
echo "<tr>
<td><form method='POST' action='Add participant.php'><input type='checkbox' name='insert[]' value='$ID'></td>
<td>$ID</td>
<td>$Name</td>
<td>$Handicap</td><tr>";
}
echo"</table><div align='center'><input type='image' value='submit' src='add selected button.png' alt='submit Button' onmouseover='this.src='pink add selected button.png'' onmouseout='this.src='add selected button.png'' name='add_btn' id='add_btn'></div><br></form>";
if(isset($_POST['add_btn'])) {
if(!empty($_POST['insert'])) {
foreach($_POST['insert'] as $check) {
$st=$con->prepare("INSERT INTO participants(ID,Name,Handicap) VALUES('$ID','$Name','$Handicap')");
$insert->bindParam('ID',$ID);
$insert->bindParam('Name',$Name);
$insert->bindParam('Handicap',$Handicap);
$st->execute();
}
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
alert('Successful Insert ! ');
window.location.href = 'Add participant.php';
</script>";
} else {
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('You didn't choose which user you want to insert ! ')</script>";
}
}
} catch(PDOException $e) {
echo "error".$e->getMessage();
}
?>

You are not storing the $Name and $Handicap values in the insert[] array, you only storing the $ID value.
To resolve, do something like this:
<input type='checkbox' name='insert[]' value='$ID|$Name|$Handicap'>
Then:
foreach($_POST['insert'] as $check) {
$values = explode('|', $check);
$ID = $values[0];
$Name = $values[1];
$Handicap = $values[2];
//The rest of your SQL code goes here as you have it...
$check = '';
}
