I want to post checkbox value and store it,but my post value is shown as on.
View
<label for="name">Programme Applied for:</label><br>
<br>
<input name="program" type="checkbox">Six Months Computerized Accounting Diploma<br>
<input name="program" type="checkbox">Six Months Computerized Accounting Diploma<br>
<input name="program" type="checkbox">Two Months Diploma in taxation (Direct)<br>
<input name="program" type="checkbox">Three Months Diploma in taxation (Direct & Indirect)<br>
<input name="program" type="checkbox">One Year Diploma in Accounting Finance Taxation <br>
<input name="program" type="checkbox">Banking and Payroll
<br><br>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="text-danger"><?php echo form_error('program'); ?></div>
Controller
$data=array('prg_applied' => $this->input->post('program'));
$insert = $this->firstmodel->insert_record($data);
You have to have value field, if you dont have value field then it will show "on" for checked boxes
<input name="program" type="checkbox" value='Three Months Diploma in taxation (Direct & Indirect)'>Three Months Diploma in taxation (Direct & Indirect)<br>
It looks like you want radio rather than checkbox. Then you can have multiple selectable inputs of the same name and different value, where the selected box will provide value in the HTTP request.
You also use <label> wrong. It is supposed to be for individual inputs:
<label><input name="program">Six Months Computerized…</label><br>
Or:
<input name="program" id="x"> <label for="x">Six Months Computerized…</label><br>
