Languages :: PHP :: another stupid question

i have a page that contains a form and it looks something like this :

[]name
[]surname
[]tel_no
[]birth_date
[]address
submit

the [] represents checkboxes

on the next page i want this information to go into a sql query. so if i select name and surname and address and submit it on the next page the query has to read "SELECT name, surname, address FROM ...".
or if i select name and birth_date then it needs to read "SELECT name, birth_date FROM ..."

i suppose id would be easiest to pass these into an variable and than place the variable in the query:

$fields = 'name, birth_date';

$query = "SELECT $fields FROM ...;";

i just cant seem to figure it out.... help please

not tested but should work :

$query='select '; //note the space foreach($_POST as $var=>$val) { $query.="$var='{$val}' AND "; //note the spaces } if ($query=='select ') then die ("please check some boxes ;-)"); else { // go on // delete the last "and " //note the space $query=substr($query,0,-4); // complete query $query.="from ...;"; //note no space // exec etc }
