Thaikhan Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Hey guys, I'm struggling to find why my checkbox isn't posting as set. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong. Here's the form: $form = "<form action='./register.php' method='post'> <table> <tr> <td></td> <td><font color='red'>$errormsg</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Username:</td> <td><input type='text' name='user' value='$getuser' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email:</td> <td><input type='text' name='email' value='$getemail' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password:</td> <td><input type='password' name='pass' value='' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Retype Password:</td> <td><input type='password' name='retypepass' value='' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Receive Forum Notifications:</td> <td><input type='checkbox' name='fn' value='1' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><input type='submit' name='registerbtn' value='Register' /></td> </tr> </table> </form>"; And here's the beginning of the page: <?php error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Member System - Register</title> <link href="./style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <?php if ( $_POST['registerbtn'] ) { $getuser = $_POST['user']; $getemail = $_POST['email']; $getpass = $_POST['pass']; $getretypepass = $_POST['retypepass']; if (isset($_POST['fn'])) { echo "checked"; exit(); } else echo "unchecked"; exit(); Thanks so much!!

Thaikhan Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 My problem is that it's not setting the variable. Any ideas? if ( $_POST['registerbtn'] ) { $getuser = $_POST['user']; $getemail = $_POST['email']; $getpass = $_POST['pass']; $getretypepass = $_POST['retypepass']; if (isset($_POST['fn'])) { $fn == 1; } else { $fn == 0; } echo $fn; exit(); Nothing is being echoed...

Barand Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 do you have error reporting turned on? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281301-i-dont-know-why-my-checkbox-isnt-working/#findComment-1445619 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaikhan Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 There's no mysql_error and the browser isn't coming up with anything. Neither is the server log.

jazzman1 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 There's no mysql_error and the browser isn't coming up with anything. Neither is the server log. No, that's impossible or you have a logical error somewhere in the script. My briefly test just works fine: <?php error_reporting(-1); if (!empty($_POST['registerbtn'])) { $getuser = $_POST['user']; $getemail = $_POST['email']; $getpass = $_POST['pass']; $getretypepass = $_POST['retypepass']; if (isset($_POST['fn'])) { echo "checked"; exit(); } } ?> <form action='index.php' method='post'> <table> <tr> <td></td> <td><font color='red'></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Username:</td> <td><input type='text' name='user' value='' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Email:</td> <td><input type='text' name='email' value='getemail' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Password:</td> <td><input type='password' name='pass' value='' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Retype Password:</td> <td><input type='password' name='retypepass' value='' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td>Receive Forum Notifications:</td> <td><input type='checkbox' name='fn' value='1' /></td> </tr> <tr> <td></td> <td><input type='submit' name='registerbtn' value='Register' /></td> </tr> </table> </form> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281301-i-dont-know-why-my-checkbox-isnt-working/#findComment-1445633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaikhan Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 The script below will echo checked or unchecked accordingly, so it's working, but I don't understand why it's not echoing 0 or 1 for var $fn. if ( $_POST['registerbtn'] ) { $getuser = $_POST['user']; $getemail = $_POST['email']; $getpass = $_POST['pass']; $getretypepass = $_POST['retypepass']; if (isset($_POST['fn'])) { $fn == 1; echo $fn; echo "Checked"; echo mysql_error(); exit(); } else { $fn == 0; echo $fn; echo "Unchecked"; echo mysql_error(); exit(); } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/281301-i-dont-know-why-my-checkbox-isnt-working/#findComment-1445634 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzman1 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I am not sure whether the checkbox element accepts a value attribute itself, check at docs, but .. entirely sure that the checked attribute can be used to indicate the default state. So, you should set this to either true or false.

mac_gyver Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 two == is a comparison operator. your code is not assigning a value to $fn (one =), it's comparing $fn with 1 or 0 and if you had php's error reporting turned full on, you would know this because you would be getting an undefined variable error at the $fn references.

Thaikhan Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thank you mac_gyver. I thought the server logs were giving me everything but I guess I was wrong. Thanks so much for your help!
