How to use a checkbox with php

[Blekk]

Hi,

On my form I have a checkbox, all I want to do is return 1 if the box is checked and 0 if it isn't, I have looked for tutorials but they are all very complex or not to the point.

I know I need this much:

[code]<?php $result = $_POST['checkbox']; ?>[/code]

Or don't I? Is it something different?

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Any reply is appreciated.

I have done it now, so this topic can be deleted, but for anyone else who wants to know:

[code]if(isset($_POST['checkbox'])){ print "Checkbox = 1";}[/code]

Thanks anyway  :P

[code]
if ($_POST['checkbox'] = "Y")
{
echo "1";
}

else
{
echo "0";
}
[/code]

<?php
  echo ($_POST['myCheckbox'] ? "your box was checked." : "your box was not checked.";

  echo <<<FORM
  <form action = '{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}' method = 'post'>
      <input type = 'checkbox' name = 'myCheckbox' value = 'somevalue'> blah <br/>
      <input type = 'submit' value = 'submit'>
  </form>
FORM;
