PHP and checkboxes

[almightyegg]

I wasn't sure how to check whether checkboxes had been checked, so I did this:

$pinned = $_POST['pinned'];
$locked = $_POST['locked'];

if(!$pinned){
$pinned = No;
}elseif(!$locked){
$locked = No;
}elseif(isset($locked)){
$locked = Yes;
}elseif(isset($pinned)){
$pinned = Yes;
}

 

$locked and $pinned are checkboxes from a form on the previous page.

 

It sets to No when the boxes aren't checked but when they are checked it stays at "on" and even when I tried:

if($locked == on){ etc.. it still had no affect

 

Any help would be greatly received.

<?php
//if its set then its check
$pinned = (isset($_POST['pinned'])); 
$locked = (isset($_POST['locked']));

if($pinned) echo "pinned checked";
if($locked) echo "lockedchecked";

//debuger
echo "debuger<br><pre>";
print_r($_POST);

?>
