PHP inserting into database - php

Question

Hey guys, im trying to insert some checkboxes into a database and im pretty sure my code is correct however i keep getting the error ERROR INSERTING: Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
Basically i am adding each checkbox to a different column in my database
Here is my code
$idextra=$_POST['extras'];
$arr_num=count($idextra);
$i=0;
while ($i < $arr_num)
{
$qu="INSERT INTO bs_reservations (deodoriser,carpet,carpetrepair,furniture,tabs,urine) VALUES ('$idextra[$i]')";
$res=mysql_query($qu) or die('ERROR INSERTING: '.mysql_error());
$i++;
}
Hey guys here is the HTML for my check boxes and contact form.

`
and here is my complete php code for inserting into the data base
`$idextra=$_POST['extras'];
$arr_num=count($idextra);
$i=0;
while ($i < $arr_num)
{
$qu="INSERT INTO bs_reservations (deodoriser,carpet,carpetrepair,furniture,tabs,urine) VALUES ('{$idextra[1]}','{$idextra[2]}','{$idextra[3]}','{$idextra[4]}','{$idextra[5]}','{$idextra[6]}')";
$res=mysql_query($qu) or die('ERROR INSERTING: '.mysql_error());
$i++;
}
$q="INSERT INTO bs_reservations (dateCreated, name, email, phone, comments,status,eventID, qty,dropoff) VALUES (NOW(),'".$name."','".$email."','".$phone."','".$comments."','2','".$eventID."','".$qty."','".$dropoff."')";
$res=mysql_query($q) or die("error!");
$orderID=mysql_insert_id();`
I basically want to take all the inputs that the user selects and insert them into a data base.

Answer 1

You have these columns:
(deodoriser,carpet,carpetrepair,furniture,tabs,urine)
And you are inserting this:
'$idextra[$i]'
That's 6 columns and 1 value. As the error says, that's not the same.
You might have meant something like this:
('{$idextra[1]}','{$idextra[2]}','{$idextra[3]}','{$idextra[4]}','{$idextra[5]}','{$idextra[6]}')
If you want to make a string out of your array beforehand, use something like this using implode
$yourString = implode("','",$idextra);
$qu="INSERT INTO bs_reservations (deodoriser,carpet,carpetrepair,furniture,tabs,urine)
VALUES ('{$yourString}')";
echo the query to be sure it's sane :)

Answer 2

Instead of using array for your checkboxes, give them distinct names, e.g.
<input type="checkbox" name="carpetrepair" id="carpetrepair" value="Carpet Repair Tools"/>
And then check if any of them were checked:
$options = explode(",","deodoriser,carpet,carpetrepair,furniture,tabs,urine");
$sql = "INSERT INTO bs_reservations SET ";
foreach($options as $opt){
if (isset($_POST[$opt])) {
$sql.= "`$opt`=1,";
}
}
$sql = rtrim($sql,",");
