SOLVED: Verifying CheckBoxes(Checked or Not)

[Design]

Okay, here's my code(I've got 2 checkboxes, type1 and type2):
[code]
function checkType($type)
{
if($_REQUEST['type1'] == TRUE AND $_REQUEST['type2'] == FALSE)
{
$type = "1";
return $type;
}
else if($_REQUEST['type1'] == FALSE and $REQUEST['type2'] == TRUE)
{
$type = "2";
return $type;
}
else
{
$type= "3";
return $type;
}
}
[/code]
1. Is this correct assuming that checked = true and unchecked = false?
2. Would it be possible to make this code simpler by using a switch statement? How?

nvm, found out for myself :)
