Posting Error

Posting error with checkboxes on web form

[rosco400]

Hi there,

I am getting a peculiar error with checkboxes on my web form. The error that appears is:

Notice: Undefined index in chkOther...

Code for checkbox in the form:
<INPUT type="CheckBox" value="Other" Name="chkOther">

Scripting code for posting:
if ($_POST['chkOther'])
{$msg = $msg."\n".($_POST['chkOther']);}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld rosco400,

it is because you aren't testing whether it is set, you are testing the value of it, therefore if it isn't set it returns a notice.

It should be fixed by changing your if

if ($_POST['chkOther'])

to

if (isset($_POST['chkOther']))

Thanks heaps.

You have solved my problem.
