[SOLVED] Kinda HTML, but also PHP

Twister1004 · December 6, 2008

Hey, I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm trying to get a check box to work 2 ways. When the user registers, I'm trying to get the checkbox to work as a DEFAULT as 0 or if it is checked, it will be set to 1.

Objective: Check box is not working correctly. I want it to equal 0 if its not checked, but I want it to set to 1 when its checked.

Issue: It doesn't want to set to the default (which in the database is set to 0 for the default). It either works as "1" or it just says it can't work.

<?php session_start(); error_reporting(E_ALL); include("config.php"); ?>

Any help, hints, tips, reading, posting, etc would be helpful!

Thanks =)

I personally would do this

On your form

<input name="activities" type="checkbox" value="1" />

Then the POST

if($_POST['activities'] = "1"){
    $activities = "1";
     }
     else {
       $activities = "0";
     }

	...
	<tr><td id="box"><input type="checkbox" name="activities" value="1" /></td><td> Yes, I would like updates on future FBLA activities.</td></tr>
	...
<?php 
...
$activities = (int)$_POST['activities'];
...
?>

Using (int) casts the value to the integer type. (It forces it to be a number). If the checkbox is selected, the value passed will be '1'. If the checkbox is not selected, the value is not passed at all (ie, isset($_POST['activities']) == false)

(int) '1' == 1

and

(int) null == 0

@timmah1 You missed an equals sign in your IF statement.

Ah yes, I see that now.

I like your way better anyhow

Thanks

Thank you very much. It helped me. I've seen the (int) But, I've never seen it used before. That will actually come in handy now. =). although, I'm getting a notice, it wont matter since it forces it anyways XP.

Thank you very much!
