Check boxes submit

Anon

I have the below on my page...

and want to do something like the below

if (tickbox is ticked) {do something😉
else {don't}

How would I do this?
I mean for the rest of the table its just some input boxes and a pull down menu, and that is all inserted to the db, but I have 4 checkboxes and depending on which are ticked, things are inserted, ie if tickbox1 is ticked, then table1 gets then the username inserted, if tickbox2 gets ticked, then the username gets inserted into table2

I hope that makes sense, I imagine its gotta be a simple problem to solve, but I have no idea how!

Thanks anyone

I think the default value for checkboxes that have been checked is \"on\". Which would give you something like:

and then the code would look something like:

<?php
if ($tickbox == \"on\"){
//do something;
}
else {
//do something else;
}
?>

Now, if you are using this to select differing options where either the record goes to username table, data entry table, or whatever table as long as it\'s a table I would use radio boxes which looks something like:

With code being:

if ($sel_table == \"user_name\") {
//do this;
}
elseif {
//do that;
}
else {
//no do this;
}

Hope that helps...

If I am understanding the question:

You want to have the page change dynamically as a user toggles a check box? For this I believe you would need to use javascripting, but I could be wrong.

Nope, nothing happens until they choose sumbit, I think Tims post will help, I'll be starting work on that in around an hour with some luck and can hopefully get it sorted then.

I didn't use the same as you, but it helped, from what you said I tried

if ($tickbox == "on") {echo "Working!";}

no joy, I then got it working with...

if ($tickbox == "yes") {echo "Working!";}

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction :-)
