Sessions, checkboxes, forms

[Anon]

I have a multi-page form (7 pages) that uses session variables and it works great. A new section with checkboxes has been added and has thrown me for a loop.

In each form page I set each session variable right in the value, ie:

<input type="text" name="First_Name" value="<?=$First_Name?>">

For radio buttons, I give them all the same NAME but a different VALUE, ie:

<input type="radio" name="Business_Type" value="Proprietorship"
<? if ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["Business_Type"] == "Proprietorship"){
print "checked";}?>>

These methods work great but it does not work with checkboxes. I've tried many variations but with no luck. If the checkbox is checked, it stays checked. If you uncheck it and go back and fourth between pages, it remains checked. Here is what I tried:

<input type="checkbox" name="Source" value="Direct"
<?if($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["Source"] == "Direct"){
print "checked";}
if($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["Direct_Source"] <> "Direct"){
print "unchecked";}
?>>

If anyone can help, I would really appreciated it.

I'm not exactly sure, but I think print has some weird issues. Try this:

<input type='checkbox' name='Source value='Direct'<? echo ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["Source"] == "Direct" ? " checked" : "") ?>>

Thanks for the tip but it also did not work. I get the same result. I am able to check the box and a session variable is set. However, when I uncheck the box and go back and forth between pages, it remains checked. I cannot uncheck the box and make it stick.

Thanks for trying.
