Checkbox Fun

[tw4n]

Afternoon all,

 

having yet more fun with php mailer forms so any help would be much appeciated!

 

Currently have a form with a single checkbox to output a simple yes or no answer.

 

As it stand it always outputs no regardless if its ticked or not.

 

Would anyone be able to explain as to why this is?

 

Many thanks, code below!

 

<input name="chktest" type="checkbox" value="on" />

 

<?php 

$myemail = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';//<-----Put Your email address here.

$name = $_POST['name']; 
$number = $_POST['phone']; 
$email = $_POST['email']; 
$pages = $_POST['pages'];
$budget = $_POST['budget'];
$test = $_POST['test']; 

$chktest = ($_POST['chktest']);

if ($chktest=="on") {$chktest="Yes";} else { $chktest="No";}
                

        $to = $myemail; 
        $email_subject = "xxxxxxxx: ".$name;
        $email_body = "You have received a new message. \n \n
        Here are the details:\n \n Name: ".$name." \n \n Number: ".$number." \n \n Email: ".$email." \n \n Pages: ".$pages." \n \n Budget: ".$budget." \n \n chktest: ".$chktest." \n \n  message: \n ".$test; 
        
        $headers = "From: ".$myemail; 
        $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$email_address;
        
        mail($to,$email_subject,$email_body,$headers);
        
        
        
?>

Remove value="on"

Moreover, I would argue a radio field is more appropriate for yes/no. Its clearer and having experienced the pain of watching simple minded people use the internet, I think making this sort of thing obvious is a must.
