Record Unchecked Checkbox

[fib_81]

Hi,

Is there a way to record a checkbox that is not checked?

Thanks

PHP only stores the checkbox as a $_POST or $_GET variable if it has been checked, otherwise it is ignored. The only way to tell if a checkbox has been ignored is to know the name of the checkbox beforehand and to test for its existence:

if (isset($_POST['checkbox']))
{
// apply action because 'checkbox' has been ticked
}

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, fib_81.

The point ironik brings up pretty much nails it down. You served up the form in the first place, so you already know what options are in the checkbox. If it is just static HTML in a page, you could always change that by building the checkbox from an array of values or database options. When checking the POSTed data, just compare to the same array of values again.
